"Wanksta" is a song by American hip hop recording artist 50 Cent, released on November 6, 2002, as the second single from the soundtrack to the film ''8 Mile'' (2002). The single, produced by John "J-Praize" Freeman, reached number 13 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song originally appeared on 50 Cent's mixtape ''No Mercy, No Fear'', released in August 2002. ==Background== "Wanksta" was 50 Cent's first single to chart after signing up with Eminem's & Dr. Dre's labels, Shady Records & Aftermath Entertainment, as well as his first single since 1999's Thug Love. Originally appearing on his 2002 mixtape ''No Mercy, No Fear'', it received a lot of airplay, and was eventually added to the 8 Mile soundtrack. It was a bonus track (track 17) on his 2003 commercial debut album ''Get Rich or Die Tryin'''. The song's lyrics are believed to be directed towards long time nemesis Ja Rule, but 50 Cent disputed this himself in a MuchMusic interview, stating that the song was not directed against Ja Rule, "But Ja Rule is a wanksta".〔Unknown author.

The song appeared on the CD single box set ''The Singles''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eminem cover of 50 Cent's Wanksta - WhoSampled )〕 The instrumental for the song was used for "Crackin", a song by The Psychopathic Rydas, in 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MemphisRap.com - New Music, Videos, Hip-Hop News, Events, Pop Culture )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Psychopathic Rydas's Crackin sample of 50 Cent's Wanksta - WhoSampled )〕 It was also used for "The Real Wanksta" by Black Child, in 2002, who is signed to The Inc. and was beefing with 50 because he was affiliated with Ja Rule.〔https://www.myspace.com/djbackchildfreestyle/music/songs/the-real-wanksta-12320928〕 R&B girl group Blaque recorded an answer song entitled "No Ganksta" in 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blaque No Ganksta )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wanksta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
