50 Cent - Wanksta (Appreciation)

[SirBiatch]

Happened to bump into the instrumental on Youtube and it was just That twinkling vibe (is that a piano?) from 2:03 to 2:25 is just heavenly

Great beats launch careers and this is no different.



Anyway, I think I and others have already told stories of how HUGE this song was in the street. Fair number of quotables "damn homie!"

I don't remember hearing this song until the video. Maybe I did and I thought the song was cool. Either way, the video blew me away. shyt was hilarious in parts and hard in others. The moment dude came in with the Hummer with a BAD chick next to him (who is that girl anyway) it was

But the funniest shyt to me was when dude says, "What you know about.......[censor censor censor censor censor] HUH?!". I was like: 'the fukk is he talking about?' Then I found the uncensored version and it was "yeah, he wasn't playin"

Funny thing is Em & Paul Rosenberg wanted to pull the plug on that song while it was working off the mixtape.

50’s radio department worker did an interview about it, he said Paul called him to his office to tell him to stop working that song because they just wanted to promote the new songs 50 was making with Interscope after he just signed. He had to convince them not to kill the record at radio while it was buzzing and put it on the 8 mile soundtrack.

That bytch next to him in the hummer stalked him for years afterwards

Think it was a recent case too

The girl next to 50 Cent in the hummer was Eboni Jackson.
The girl with the nice soft phat ass in the red G-Unit sweats was ''Scarlet''

50 should be thankful his mixtape run was on fire at the time, the beat for Wanksta was wack
the hook was catching but 50 wasn't spitting anything on the song.

So 50 should be grateful that his hard work and talent was working?
