7-Day Wayback Music Challenge: Day 5-In da club by 50 Cent

in #musicwaybackchallenge6 years ago (edited)

This is the fifth day of this challenge and it already feels like it shouldn't be ending anymore. I was nominated by @turpsy for this, big ups to you bro.

A switch over to foreign songs again.
This is no fault of mine as these (foreign jamz) were the mainstay of our growing up then before the renaissance of Nigerian music. One of such songs was 50 Cent's In da club

My first encounter with the song was at a friend's birthday party and it was everywhere for the most part of 2003 to 2005. A party is't lively enough without this track and i can recall how every parties atmospheric condition goes into frenzy at the sound of

Go, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go Shorty
It's your birthday
We gonna party like...

Indeed, someone somewhere celebrates birthday everyday and it is in that uniqueness the song found a mass appeal. Arguably the best or one of the best songs of 50 Cent owing to the kind of success and general appeal it got. It topped the billboard hot 100 that year while the video of the song received awards of best rap video, MTV video music awards among several others.

so...
Passing this challenge on, I will like to nominate @camzy for this

The rules are...
