Questions About I Get Money...



I have a hip hop question and no one to ask right now...My best friend is in South Africa and for some reason I don't have anyone else to ask...Well not completely true...It's Friday night so that eliminates calling most of the peeps I know...I'm sure they're out in a club either partying or working and I IM'd my brother but he's not responding...Maybe I'll send this post to Eskay or post a myspace bulletin or something wonder if someone would respond...

I'm sitting here loading my CD's in to iTunes for the third time...I always lose my music and I can never get back to my original 7,984 but I was back to 4,682 and
I recently loss those (so sad)...But I found my 50 cent 'No Mercy No Fear Collectors Edition' and I was listening to it while it was loading and this is where the questions start...OK two questions...

1 - Why is it a collectors edition? WTF does that mean? Mine was free...It's a promo copy but they're selling the same thing on
Amazon for $10...I did peep Amazon says the original release date was October 31,2006 and I know I got this in like 2002 so maybe that's why it's collectors edition...I dunno...

2 - Is it known that 50 used this 'I Get Money' sample/line before? Track #12 'Say What You Want' the very first line he says 'I gets money, Money I got' ...Am I the only one not in on the reference? I'll admit...Every now and then I get a lil dense and a reference will go over my head until pointed out...Or is he just hoping since this mixtape is so old no one will realize? If I knew how to convert mp4's to mp3's I'd post a link...

Oh yeah...Two more things...1 - Listen to 50 brag about getting a mil for signing...That's like pocket change to him these days and 2 - As soon as I heard 'Wanksta' I remembered the 50 that I once loved...They ain't never lied...There's a thin line between love and hate...
