Piggy Bank (song)
Encyclopedia
"Piggy Bank" is the fifth track from 50 Cent
's second album, The Massacre
. It was not released as a single, but charted at eighty-eight on the Billboard Hot 100
due to controversy over its attack on long-time rival Ja Rule
, as well as Jadakiss
and Fat Joe
, who had worked with Ja Rule on his song "New York
". The song also takes lyrical swipes at rappers Shyne
, Kelis
, Lil' Kim
(who featured 50 Cent on her song "Magic Stick
") and Nas
. He also mentions Tupac Shakur
, Jay-Z
, Mobb Deep
and Michael Jackson
in the song, but not negatively.
", a song from his successful album, R.U.L.E.
. The song was very well received by hip hop fans and featured appearances from fellow New York rappers Fat Joe and Jadakiss. The song was a welcomed re-entry for Ja Rule into the public eye after his drop in popularity after feuding with 50 Cent. In the song, Ja Rule subliminally mentions 50 Cent:
The final line being a reference to a 50 Cent-assisted Lloyd Banks
song titled "On Fire". The lines also included a subtle reference to the belief 50 Cent had at one point been a police informant. 50 Cent, perhaps feeling offended by the song, and the other two rappers' willingness to participate in it, countered with "Piggy Bank."
50 Cent states that he mostly attacked Jadakiss and Fat Joe for their partnering with Ja Rule, who was, in essence, recording a 50 Cent diss song. According to 50 Cent, the two had allegedly been making subliminal disses to him in the past.
The song features vocal samples from the 1977 song "Sheakspeare's Poem" by iconic Russian singer Alla Pugacheva
.
Shyne
first came under 50's fire when he began talks with Ja Rule to sign to Murder Inc.
while in jail. As a result, 50 mentioned Shyne in a mixtape freestyle where he said:
This freestyle eventually found its way to Shyne, who was in prison for firing a handgun in a New York club. Shyne then responded, over telephone, with his own freestyle, where he threatened to handle their rivalry violently. It was for this freestyle, that he was added to the Piggy Bank attack.
was in talks with Irv Gotti to sign to Murder Inc. Although the rumors proved false, they did not help strengthen ties between Nas and 50 Cent. Initially, the two had been relatively close associates, with Nas featuring in two tracks on 50 Cent's 2002 album Guess Who's Back?
. However, time led to the two becoming estranged. 50 Cent cites Nas' erratic behavior as a reason for his distrust. 50 notes that while Nas has in the past stood for peace, he was also the same person on June 27, 2002, that although unprovoked, verbally attacked several rappers including Cam'ron
, Nelly
, N.O.R.E.
and New York Hot97 radio disc jockey Angie Martinez
. Nas later apologized to those he had attacked, reverting back to his previous peaceful beliefs.
It is also speculated that bad blood originated between the two as a result of 50 Cent being replaced as the guest star on a remix of a popular Jennifer Lopez
song ("I'm Gonna Be Alright"). After he had been shot, his producers, Trackmasters, allegedly dropped him from the song for Nas. It is possible that mistrust between the rappers developed because of this. It is also worth noting that Nas was working with Irv Gotti, who had arranged the song. Also the raps of 50, on the Jennifer's song were removed in the international editions from her remix album.
It is also clear that Nas has made disparaging comments about 50 Cent, long before "Piggy Bank" was released. At a free concert in Central Park, New York, Nas made a statement regarding the quality of 50 Cent's music. "This is that real New York shit, not that fake 50 Cent shit!" The comment was 50 Cent's main reason for adding Nas to the song. However, Nas has said that he actually had respect for 50 Cent. 50 responded to this incident by attacking Nas in "Piggy Bank," inciting Nas to reply in his song "MC Burial (Don't Body Ya Self)".
for the song was computer animated. It features parodies of Fat Joe looking like King Hippo
of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
and 50 Cent as a boxer, fighting him, and also getting squashed by a Mercedes-Benz
car later in the video. After this, 50 Cent fights Jadakiss, who is made to look like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
. The video shows Nas
dressed up liked Superman
(with instead of the Superman tag on his chest, says his name instead, but normally, his name is censored) chasing after his wife, Kelis
, in an ice cream truck labelled "Milkshake
", and Shyne
(popping off his mouth) in jail. The video was produced after The Game
was expelled from G-Unit
. Although, The Game
is mentioned in a positive way in the song since it was recorded before the rift between them, a parody of The Game as Mr. Potato Head
is shown. Also, Philadelphia rapper Cassidy is shown as a young kid in a pink hoody with "I'm a Hustla
" printed on it and later in the video he is shown being punched. The video shows 50 Cent and G-Unit in it, with 50 Cent being a boxer and a gangsta, holding guns, which is normally censored. The video makes a reference of "Gatman and Robbin," the next track on The Massacre after "Piggy Bank."
