"I Get Money" is the third single from 50 Cent's third album, Curtis.[1] This song was #14 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.[2] It was also used as Floyd Mayweather's theme music during his feud with the Big Show in the WWE leading up to Wrestlemania XXIV.

[edit] Production

"I Get Money" contains a sample from Cassidy's "I'm a Hustla", the song also contains elements from Audio Two's "Top Billin'".[3] The song also contains elements from 50 Cent's "I Run New York." Although the track was a promotional single, it was also the official remix for 50 Cent's previous single, "Straight to the Bank".[4] The song was produced by Apex.[5] Initially, Scott Boogie was credited as the producer of the song,[5] however, it was later discovered that Scott Boogie actually stole the beat from Apex.[5] In the song, 50 Cent talks about the Glacéau acquisition by The Coca-Cola Company (as he had an ownership stake in Glacéau's parent company); he raps:

I took quarter water, sold it in bottles for two bucks. Coca-Cola came and bought it for billions, what the fuck?!

[edit] Critical reaction

Time magazine named "I Get Money" one of The 10 Best Songs of 2007, ranking it at #6. Writer Josh Tyrangiel praised the song as “hypnotic”, observing that its appeal is owed to the “Top Billin” sample, and that 50 Cent’s bemusement at his own survival and success “makes the song as wry as it is scary.”[6][7]

The music video was released on July 13, 2007, on the websites of Hot 97, Power 106, and on 50 Cent's YouTube channel. The music video features cameos from Angel Fershgenet, DJ Kayslay, Funkmaster Flex, Lloyd Banks, Marquise Jackson (50 Cent's son), Mazaradi FOX, Prodigy, and Tony Yayo. The video reached number one on BET's 106 & Park on September 7, 2007.[citation needed]

[edit] Remixes

HipHopDX.com reported that an official remix which features Busta Rhymes, Fabolous, LL Cool J, and Rakim may be released. There are rumors that Jim Jones might also appear on it.[8]

Rapper Ja Rule made a diss track aimed at 50 Cent using the beat of 'I Get Money.' Rapper Ludacris also did a remix. On that remix track everything is the same, but in the last verse 50 Cent is replaced by Ludacris. The track was going to be released, but now its an unofficial remix and has been floating around the internet and streets for a long time.

Diddy stated that there will be a remix featuring himself, Jay-Z, and Kanye West.[9] However, on September 12, 2007 50 Cent confirmed in an interview with Hot 97 that the remix will feature Diddy and Jay-Z, with the track being known as the "Forbes 1-2-3 Billion Dollar Remix".[10][11] The track was released on September 17, 2007.[12]

After the Billionaires Remix there has been no Diddy diss tracks from 50 Cent. Before 50 Cent dissed Diddy numerous times, including his track titled "The Bomb" on his G-Unit Radio mixtape "Hip-Hop Is Dead." Since the remix it has been rumored that the feud between 50 Cent and Diddy is over.

[edit] Music video for the remix

At the beginning of the music video of 50's "I'll Still Kill", a brief 29 second clip of what seemed to be a preview of the "I Get Money Billion Dollar Remix" was shown, indicating that a music video for the remix has been made and may be released soon. However this may have been for that video. Since then, two fan versions were released on YouTube, and both only contained 50's verse. These both use clips from the "I'll Still Kill" music video, including the intro.
