So on “P.I.M.P.,” you’ll hear the chorus area, and then you’ll hear an area that feels like a bridge on the record, but that’s out of the habit that I write two or three melodies on every song. Jam Master Jay put 50 through a songwriting bootcamp, helping him develop his songwriting skills by practicing writing multiple hooks for one song.ĥ0 Cent: It gave me the habit as a writer to up with more than one melody for the record. It was released as the third official single from The Game's debut studio album The Documentary (2005).
' Hate It or Love It ' is a single by American rapper and West Coast hip hop artist The Game, featuring vocals from his former G-Unit member 50 Cent. I knew a chorus was supposed to be on a song, so I put that area where it was repetitive, but there wasn’t a four-bar chorus, or an eight-bar chorus that would have things that you would remember.” For the 2007 album by Chingy, see Hate It or Love It (album). “I didn’t have any song structure,” 50 recalled.
DJ in ’96, 50 was JMJ Records where he was taught how to structure his songs and add melodies to his hooks. With a catalogue of hit singles with unforgettable hooks like “In da Club”, “P.I.M.P.”, “If I Can’t”, “Candy Shop”, “Hate It or Love It”, “How We Do” and plenty more, 50 is one of the best songwriters in the game during his prime years.Īs 50 has revealed in several interviews over the years, it was the late Jam Master Jay who mentored him in the art of songwriting.
