How To Rob - the single that upset half the American rappers


How To Rob - the single that upset half the American rappers

Friday, March 12 2010

Everyone who is a 50 Cent fan is familiar with his single How to Rob. The rapper is famous for having written it in just half an hour, while in a car on the way to a studio. But what many didn't know is that this single is also the source of a lot of controversy.

You see, the song is, according to 50 Cent, just a comical song about how he would rob famous artists-emphasis on comical. 50 Cent stated about the track that "There's a hundred artists on that label, you got to separate yourself from that group and make yourself relevant”.

However, rappers like Jay-Z, Kurupt, Sticky Fingaz, Big Pun, DMX, Wyclef Jean and the Wu-Tang Clan didn’t appreciate the single and retaliated either with comments or through their own music.

Jay-Z - in the track called It's Hot (Some Like It Hot): "Go against Jigga yo' ass is dense I'm about a dollar, what the fuck is 50 Cents?"

Kurupt – in his track Callin' Out Names: "Now it's 50 mc's that ain't worth shit / Get ya ass kicked 50 times, beat to 10 cent"

Wyclef Jean – in his song Low Income.: "I stay so hungry that if 50 Cent came to rob me // he'd be part of my charity."

The only one who had a positive response was Nas, who even invited 50 Cent to travel on a promotional tour for his Nastradamus album.
