Hustler's Ambition
"Hustler's Ambition" is a song by American rapper 50 Cent. Written by 50 Cent and produced by B-Money "B$", the song was released as the first single from the soundtrack to the film ''Get Rich or Die Tryin'' (2005). Built around a soul–influenced production sampling the Frankie Beverly and Maze song "I Need You", "Hustler's Ambition" features lyrics regarding 50 Cent's rise to fortune and fame, intended to mirror the experience faced by 50 Cent's character in the film: it marks a shift from influence of hardcore hip hop present in 50 Cent's earlier work. "Hustler's Ambition" was released to digital retailers in the United States in October 2005 via Interscope Records, with a CD release following in February 2006.
The song received generally favorable reviews from music critics, many of whom complimented the soulful production and 50 Cent's delivery. Some also found the song to be more musically diverse than the music 50 Cent recorded at the beginning of his career. The song achieved commercial success on a number of music charts, reaching the top 25 of charts across Europe and Australasia, although it only reached number 65 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100, making it one of 50 Cent's least successful songs in the country. A music video for "Hustler's Ambition" was directed by Anthony Mandler, and shows 50 Cent performing the song inside a warehouse whilst preparing for a boxing match.
== Background and recording ==
In late 2003, following the commercial success achieved by 50 Cent's debut studio album ''Get Rich or Die Tryin'', Interscope Records head Jimmy Iovine asserted that 50 Cent had a high enough profile to move into making films. Plans for a film were revealed the following year, when 50 Cent revealed that he would be writing and directing his first motion picture, a semi-autobiographical work based on his difficult childhood experiences, with the Oscar-nominated director Jim Sheridan assisting in the production of the film. The film was originally known under the title ''Locked and Loaded'', although this later became ''Get Rich or Die Tryin''.〔〔 ''Get Rich or Die Tryin'' was released to cinemas in 2005, and received generally mixed reviews from contemporary film critics.
50 Cent wrote the whole of "Hustler's Ambition" during a break from filming ''Get Rich or Die Tryin'' in his trailer on the set of the film.〔 The song's title was to match that of the film, which had the other working title of ''Hustler's Ambition'' at the time, although the then upcoming release of the film ''Hustle & Flow'', which featured Terrence Howard, a co-star of ''Get Rich or Die Tryin'', in its cast led 50 Cent to change the title of the film.〔 American soul singer Frankie Beverly is also credited as having written "Hustler's Ambition", as a sample of his song "I Need You" – a collaboration with funk group Maze from their 1978 album ''Golden Time of Day'' – is included in the song's introduction. The production for "Hustler's Ambition" was provided by record producer Brian Hughes under his production name B-Money "B$", with recording carried out by Ky Miller at G-Unit Studios – a recording studio in New York City.〔 The song's mixing process was carried out by Pat Viala, with mastering handled by Brian "Big Bass" Gardner.〔
