<p><a href="/profile/50Cent" class="text-word" target="_blank" >50 Cent</a> was one of the many rappers mentioned on <a href="/profile/NickiMinaj" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Nicki Minaj</a>&#8217;s &#8220;Barbie Dreams,&#8221; and naturally, he has an opinion on the matter.</p>

<p>In an interview with Extra TV, 50 said he was a fan of the track, and also reflected on Nicki&#8217;s statement that his own track &#8220;How To Rob,&#8221; which played a role in how he approached the record. &#8220;[50] inspired that record so much,” she told Funk Flex last week. “That’s why it’s the first person I say on the song.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I did a song called &#8216;How to Rob&#8217; that she said was the inspiration for it,&#8221; said 50 of his 1999 debut single where he talks about robbing pretty much every big name in the industry at the time. &#8220;It brings everyone in the culture that is relevant at the time &#8217;cause they’re on her mind when she’s writing the music.&#8221;</p>
<p>Of course, Nicki&#8217;s track is more directly based on Biggie&#8217;s &#8220;Just Playing (Dreams)&#8221; and <a href="/profile/LilKim" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Lil Kim</a>&#8217;s gender reversal &#8220;Dreams,&#8221; of which she uses both concept and instrumental. 50 noted this, and applauded her flip of the classic track. &#8220;To get it from a reverse perspective, it’s cool to see that women in hip-hop have come to a point where they can do it their way,&#8221; he said.</p>
