[edit] Background

Released in December 2004, the single peaked at number three in the U.S. becoming 50 Cent's fifth top ten single. The song was produced by C. Styles & Bang Out. The song was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance at the Grammy Awards of 2006, but lost to Kanye West's "Gold Digger".

[edit] Music video

The music video, which has been leaked out on the Internet, has been controversial for its pornographic content. The video takes place at a strip club and is in black-and-white, and was considered by critics to be softcore pornography (with women kissing and appearing nude at the end of the video clip). The video is also on 50 Cent's The Massacre Special Edition. Also the pornstar Daisy Marie appears in the video.
