Disco Inferno (50 Cent song)

"Disco Inferno" is a song recorded by American rapper 50 Cent for his second studio album The Massacre (2005). It was released as the lead single from the album on December 21, 2004, by Interscope Records, Shady Records and Aftermath Entertainment. Only a moderate international commercial success, it was a success nationwide, peaking at number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Background

Released in November 2004, the single debuted at #54 and peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming 50 Cent's fourth solo top-ten song on the chart and sixth overall. "Disco Inferno" was certified Gold by the RIAA. The song was produced by C. Styles & Bang Out. The song was also nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance at the Grammy Awards of 2006, but lost to Kanye West's "Gold Digger". This song is featured in DJ Hero.

Reception

Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of Pitchfork negatively compared "Disco Inferno" to 50 Cent's previous work, describing it and follow-up single "Candy Shop" as "flaccid reprises of other tracks both in beats and in timbre".
