Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Wanksta - From "8 Mile" Soundtrack. By Songfacts®.

This is an attack on rappers who claim to be more than they actually are, especially Ja Rule.

50 had a feud with Ja Rule that supposedly dates back to when Ja was robbed by an acquaintance of 50's. The feud has included at least two separate physical fights, landing 50 with 4 stitches and Ja with some missing jewelry.

Starting a feud with another rapper can be dangerous, but it can also lead to huge sales. 50's 1999 song "How To Rob" became a hit when some of the rappers he jokingly dissed took offense and responded. This got the song a lot of attention, but not all the good kind. 50 was shot 9 times in a drive-by after it became an underground hit. Since he was already marked for death, it was no big deal to start more trouble with Ja Rule.
