After giving "R.I.P." shout-outs to Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur, 50 Cent disses everyone who was big in 1999.
You can find the song "How To Rob" with some of the visuals in this video here:
Rappers mentioned in the song: Lil' Kim P Diddy Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston Brian McKnight Keith Sweat Cardan Harlem World Mase Ol' Dirty Bastard Foxy Brown and Kurupt Jay-Z Case Trackmasters Slick Rick Stevie J Big Pun Master P Silkk The Shocker Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith Timbaland and Missy Elliott Joe Jermaine Dupri and Da Brat DMX Treach DJ Clue TQ Raekwon, Ghostface Killah and RZA Sticky Fingaz Fredro Starr Canibus Heavy D Juvenile Blackstreet R. Kelly (though not by name, is referenced within the lyrics) Boyz II Men and Michael Bivins Mike Tyson and Robin Givens Mister Cee Busta Rhymes and the Flipmode Squad Kirk Franklin.
A number of rappers mentioned on the song responded on record. The comments made towards the Wu-Tang Clan were responded to on the Ghostface Killah album Supreme Clientele on a skit called "Clyde Smith".
Jay Z also reacted to the comments in the track called It's Hot (Some Like It Hot), off the album Vol. 3: Life and Times of S. Carter: "Go against Jigga yo' ass is dense I'm about a dollar, what the f*ck is 50 Cents?"
In an interview, however, 50 Cent claims that Jay-Z told him he loved the song, and that Jay asked permission to respond before he did.
Sticky Fingaz responded to the diss with the track "Jackin' for Beats."
Big Pun responds to this track in the song "My Turn" from his 2000 album Yeeeah Baby, which was released posthumously. In the song, he states: “And to the 50 Cent Rapper, very funny -- get your nut off, 'cuz in real life, we all know I'd blow your m*therfucking head off...If I'm gonna write a song, it'll be about how I had to beat your m*thafuckin' ass. And that'll be the name of the m*therfucker: 'That's Why I Had To Beat Your M*therfucking Ass', featuring Tony Sunshine.”
Kurupt also responded to the track with "Callin Out Names": “Now it's 50 mc's that ain't worth shit Get ya ass kicked 50 times, beat to 10 cent"
Missy Elliott however responded in a humorous way, in the liner notes for her 2002 album Under Construction, on which 50 Cent appears: “I don't know you that well except when you told me to put them hot dogs down (haha). I got on the treadmill for you baby. Thanks for the remix! Love ya!” #hiphopuniverse #hiphopbeefanalysis
