50 perfected the art of redoing other people’s hits
50 Cent divulges that he was greatly influenced by Nelly when writing Lloyd Banks’ song “On Fire.”
During an interview on Hot 97, Fif’ confessed that he lifted the basic elements from Nelly’s 2002 hit “Hot in Here,” and illustrated how he managed to successfully twist the song.
“I would be able to look at someone else’s record and make my version of the record when the right production came around, and it would be a hit again,” the G-Unit honcho explained.
“It’s the same record,” he added. “It’s just new melodies, new production and let Banks do it.”
