"In da Club" is a song by American rapper 50 Cent from his debut studio album Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003).

After 50 Cent was discovered by fellow rapper Eminem in 2002, he flew to Los Angeles where he was introduced to record producer Dr.

[7] The Source called the song a "guaranteed party starter" with its "blaring horns, funky organs, guitar riffs and sparse hand claps".

[8] The BBC also wrote that the song is "a spectacular party anthem" that "highlights 50 Cent's ability to twist his words effortlessly".

[9] Entertainment Weekly noted that 50 Cent "boasts unashamedly of his career objectives and newly flush bank account" with lyrics such as "I'm feelin' focus, man, my money on my mind/Got a mil out the deal and I'm still on the grind.

"[10] Rolling Stone wrote that the song sports "a spare yet irresistible synth hook augmented by a tongue-twisting refrain".

[29] Set in a fictional hip-hop boot camp known as the "Shady/Aftermath Artist Development Center", the video begins with a black Hummer driving to the facility at an unknown location, marked "Somewhere...", (actually the Volcano House in Newberry Springs).

"[29] The video ends with the camera zooming out of the club to reveal a two-way mirror with Eminem and Dr. Dre in white lab uniforms, observing 50 Cent and taking notes.

[29] On January 27, 2003, the video debuted on MTV's Total Request Live at number nine and stayed on the chart for fifty days.

[33] In January 2006, 50 Cent was sued for copyright infringement by former 2 Live Crew manager Joseph Weinberger, who owns the rights to the rap group's catalog.

[34] The lawsuit was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Paul Huck, who ruled that the phrase was a "common, unoriginal and noncopyrightable element of the song".

Her version sampled the original's instrumental and melody with the singer singing her own, newly added verses.

In the song, she references Jimmy Choo shoes, Marilyn Monroe, Marc Jacobs, and Bailey Bank and Biddle.

[40] In 2013, Mike Wass of the website Idolator put "Sexy Lil Thug" at number six on his list of "Beyonce's 10 Best Unreleased and Rare Tracks".

He described it as a "radio staple" in 2003, adding that it "remains something of a lost gem" and concluded "Queen Bey spit iconic lyrics like 'I'm that classy mami with the Marilyn Monroe body'".

[41] "In da Club" has been sampled or interpolated in at least 90 songs, including "Mi Gna" by Super Sako, "Good Life" by Kanye West, "Genesis" by Justice and "Iffy" by Chris Brown.
