Background

"Just a Lil Bit" debuted at #69 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at #3 on the chart. The song was eventually certified Platinum by the RIAA. The official remix features rapper White Dawg. T-Pain used the instrumental to do a freestyle called "A Little Hit."[2] Game also used the instrumental on his song "300 Bars & Runnin'", in which he disses 50 Cent and other members of G-Unit.[3] He also redid "Just a Lil Bit" as a diss to 50 Cent.[4]

Music video

The music video is set in Cancún, Mexico[5] and follows a thin plot where 50 Cent, as "El Jefe" ("The Boss"), employs three beautiful women to set up his enemies, played by Emilio Rivera, Hassan Johnson and Jesús Ochoa. 50 Cent leaves each enemy $50.[6] The video also contains cameos by some G-Unit artists.

CD cover

The artwork for the CD cover shows 50 Cent's modern adaptation of the rap squat that includes the prayer pose.[7]
