Contrary to popular belief, this is not supposed to be an imitation of Ashanti, but rather of Ja Rule’s stylist.

On the song “If U Want It”:

Your stylist is on my album, paid him 50,000.

Eminem also makes similar claims on “Bully”

Plus this stylist that you fucked
When you was ecstasied up
Was just a man who’s dressed up as a white bitch

This skit is making fun of Ja’s stylist, who was rumoured to have engaged in homosexual activities with Ja by 50 Cent, Eminem and DMX (a former associate of Ja)

Ja’s stylist is explaining how their lives were going well until 50 came back on the scene. The song further sets out to humiliate Ja’s stylist as it portrays him as attempting to threaten 50 with his skills as a “12th degree pink belt”. This is all to be done, as he claims, to protect Jeffrey, making him look more incompetent and vulnerable.

Having signed a $1m contract with Aftermath shortly before the release of the album, he really is all about the money. Even though 50 Cent has hit the jackpot, he isn’t planning on slowing down anytime soon. He’s on the path to get even more Money.

It’s also worth noting that the sole earnings on the single “In Da Club” alone brought him enough to buy Mike Tyson’s former Connecticut mansion.

A popular single edged razorblade, commonly used by drug dealers to divide pieces of cocaine.

This however is not how 50 Cent intends to use them, they can also be used as weapons due to their sharp edges – with that big wound hole on your stomach, you’d think someone shot you with a firearm

This is a throwback to the melodic hook on 50’s ‘’Disco Inferno‘’.

This is not simply just a song, this is 50 killing of his competition. Fiddy is so ahead of his time he knew how to do what the current rappers are doing years ago, he just knew better than to actually use their style. He cooked up some better shit; y'all must’ve forgot.

These lines paint Fat Joe (aka Joey Crack) as a crack kingpin.

“You a buster, a customer” is a bite of 50 Cent’s line in “You Ain’t No Gangster”:

You'se a busta, a customer, a sucker

Joe cooks up his crack like a chemist. As Wikipedia instructs, just add baking soda (NaHCO3) and heat to some cocaine:

Coc-H+Cl + NaHCO3 → Coc + H2O + CO2 + NaCl
