Кіріспе
2003 жылы 50 Cent-тің "P. I. M. P." әні американдық рэпер 50 Cent-тің дебюттік студиялық альбомы Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003) үшін жазылды. Ол D12-нің Мистер Портерінің өндірісінде, Dr. Dre-дің миксімен шықты. Ән Get Rich or Die Tryin' альбомының үшінші синглі ретінде 2003 жылдың 24 маусымында Interscope Records, Shady Records және Aftermath Entertainment компанияларымен бірге, Snoop Dogg, Lloyd Banks және Young Buck қатысқан ремикс нұсқасымен шығарылды. Шығарылысымен бірге "P. I. M. P." коммерциялық сәттілікке жетті, әсіресе АҚШ-та, Billboard Hot 100 хит-парадында үшінші орынға ие болды, ал әлемдік көптеген ұлттық хит-парадтардың топ ондығына енді. Ән Американың Жазу индустриясы қауымдастығы (RIAA) тарапынан алтын сертификат алды. Ремикс бастапқыда Get Rich or Die Tryin' трек-тізіміне кірмегенімен, кейіннен альбомның кейбір цифрлық нұсқаларына бонус трек ретінде қосылды.

"P. I. M. P." is a song recorded by American rapper 50 Cent for his debut studio album Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003). It features production from Mr. Porter of D12 and was mixed by Dr. Dre. The song was released as the third single from Get Rich or Die Tryin alongside its remix, featuring American rappers Snoop Dogg, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck, on June 24, 2003, by Interscope Records, Shady Records and Aftermath Entertainment. Upon its release, "P. I. M. P." was a significant commercial success, especially in the United States, where it peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, while reaching the top ten of numerous national charts worldwide. The song was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Although the remix was not originally part of the track listing for Get Rich or Die Tryin''', it was later added as a bonus track on some digital editions of the album. Content
Musically, the song is based on a highly steelpan prominent production from Mr. Porter from D12, and although it is predominantly a rap song, features elements of other genres, especially reggae, or music similar to that of the Caribbean. Lyrically, the song glorifies 50 Cent's supposed involvement in the 'pimp' lifestyle. Music video
The music video features the four rappers rapping with topless women. The video comes in two slightly different versions: one with the topless women and a "clean" version without. On July 15, 2003, the video debuted on MTV's Total Request Live at number nine and stayed on the chart for fifty days. At the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards, it was nominated for Best Rap Video, but lost to Jay Z's "99 Problems". The video had 50 Cent trying to audition to become a member of the P. I. M. P. Legion of Doom that is led by Snoop Dogg's character. When asked why they should let him join the P. I. M. P. Legion of Doom as he doesn't have a Cadillac and/or a perm, 50 Cent ends up winning their favor by showing off his Magic Stick. The music video on YouTube has received over 655 million views as of April 2024. Samples and covers
In 2008, the Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band released a cover version of "P. I. M. P." from their album Look A Py Py. It was such a faithful cover that many people incorrectly believed that it was the source of the steel drum melody used in the 50 Cent single, though the Bacao single was released five years after 50 Cent had released "P. I. M. P.". This cover features heavily in the French legal thriller Anatomy of a Fall. Additional covers of the song include those on Hip Hop Baby (a 2004 compilation album of kid friendly tunes from the group Tunes for Baby That Won't Drive You Crazy), and "P. I. N. T.", a parody version by British rapper 50 Pence (from his 2004 album 50 Pence Presents). Legal controversy
In June 2016, producer Brandon Parrott and business manager Erica Tucker sued almost everyone involved with the 50 Cent record Get Rich or Die Tryin, claiming that he was tricked into licensing the use of a beat from his track "BAMBA". Aftermath Records and Universal requested that the case be dismissed on the grounds that Parrott had already been compensated in an earlier settlement. Judge S. James Otero dismissed the complaint without leave to amend in November 2016. Track listing

Мазмұны:
Музыкалық тұрғыдан ән D12-нің Мистер Портерінің ерекше өндірісіне негіделген, стальпан дыбысы басым. Ән көбінесе рэп жанрында болғанымен, басқа жанрлардың, әсіресе реггидің элементтерін қамтиды, Кариб теңізінің музыкасына ұқсас. Лирикалық тұрғыдан ән 50 Cent-тің «pimp» өмір салтымен байланысты екенін көрсетеді.

2008 жылы Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band "P. I. M. P." әнінің кавер нұсқасын Look A Py Py альбомынан шығарды. Бұл нұсқа настолько адал болғандықтан, көптеген адамдар оның 50 Cent синглінде қолданылған стальпан дыбысының бастапқы көзі деп қате ойлады, бірақ Bacao синглі 50 Cent "P. I. M. P." шығарғаннан кейін бес жыл өткен соң жарық көрді. Бұл кавер француздық "Анатомия апаты" (Anatomy of a Fall) заңдық триллерінде жиі қолданылады. Әннің басқа каверлеріне Hip Hop Baby (2004 жылы Tunes for Baby That Won't Drive You Crazy тобының балаларға арналған әндерінің жинағы) және британдық рэпер 50 Pence-тің пародиялық нұсқасы "P. I. N.

Lyrically, the song glorifies 50 Cent's supposed involvement in the 'pimp' lifestyle. Music video
The music video features the four rappers rapping with topless women. The video comes in two slightly different versions: one with the topless women and a "clean" version without. On July 15, 2003, the video debuted on MTV's Total Request Live at number nine and stayed on the chart for fifty days. At the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards, it was nominated for Best Rap Video, but lost to Jay Z's "99 Problems". The video had 50 Cent trying to audition to become a member of the P. I. M. P. Legion of Doom that is led by Snoop Dogg's character. When asked why they should let him join the P. I. M. P. Legion of Doom as he doesn't have a Cadillac and/or a perm, 50 Cent ends up winning their favor by showing off his Magic Stick. The music video on YouTube has received over 655 million views as of April 2024. Samples and covers
In 2008, the Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band released a cover version of "P. I. M. P." from their album Look A Py Py. It was such a faithful cover that many people incorrectly believed that it was the source of the steel drum melody used in the 50 Cent single, though the Bacao single was released five years after 50 Cent had released "P. I. M. P.". This cover features heavily in the French legal thriller Anatomy of a Fall. Additional covers of the song include those on Hip Hop Baby (a 2004 compilation album of kid friendly tunes from the group Tunes for Baby That Won't Drive You Crazy), and "P. I. N. T.", a parody version by British rapper 50 Pence (from his 2004 album 50 Pence Presents). Legal controversy
In June 2016, producer Brandon Parrott and business manager Erica Tucker sued almost everyone involved with the 50 Cent record Get Rich or Die Tryin, claiming that he was tricked into licensing the use of a beat from his track "BAMBA". Aftermath Records and Universal requested that the case be dismissed on the grounds that Parrott had already been compensated in an earlier settlement. Judge S. James Otero dismissed the complaint without leave to amend in November 2016. Track listing

Заңдық дау:
2016 жылдың маусымында продюсер Брэндон Паррот және бизнес-менеджер Эрика Таккер 50 Cent-тің Get Rich or Die Tryin' альбомына қатысқан барлық адамдарға сотқа шағымданып, оның "BAMBA" трекінен битті лицензиялауға алданып қалғанын мәлімдеді. Aftermath Records және Universal бұрынғы келісімде Паррот өтемақы алғандықтан, істі қараудан бас тартуды сұрады. 2016 жылдың қарашасында судья С. Джеймс Отеро шағымды түзетуге рұқсатсыз қабылдамады.

"P. I. M. P." is a song recorded by American rapper 50 Cent for his debut studio album Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003). It features production from Mr. Porter of D12 and was mixed by Dr. Dre. The song was released as the third single from Get Rich or Die Tryin alongside its remix, featuring American rappers Snoop Dogg, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck, on June 24, 2003, by Interscope Records, Shady Records and Aftermath Entertainment. Upon its release, "P. I. M. P." was a significant commercial success, especially in the United States, where it peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, while reaching the top ten of numerous national charts worldwide. The song was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Although the remix was not originally part of the track listing for Get Rich or Die Tryin''', it was later added as a bonus track on some digital editions of the album. Content
Musically, the song is based on a highly steelpan prominent production from Mr. Porter from D12, and although it is predominantly a rap song, features elements of other genres, especially reggae, or music similar to that of the Caribbean. Lyrically, the song glorifies 50 Cent's supposed involvement in the 'pimp' lifestyle. Music video
