50 Cent Finds Major-Label Success

Brian Carroll of Billboard recently caught up with 50 Cent for a Q&A and asked the rapper when he realized that breakout hit ‘In Da Club’ would be so huge. “At that time, had so many street records on me that they would have a 50 Cent segment,” he responded. “For maybe 40 minutes in the club, it would just be me, but before they got into that, they would play ‘In Da Club’ about five or six times in a row and it would keep the club going. When they were playing it that much, I was so excited about the record that I would just be at home listening to my record by myself.”
