50 CENT LIFTED SONG IDEA FROM EMINEM.

Hip-hop star 50 CENT sneaked a look through EMINEM's computer files in order to draw inspiration for a new song. The In Da Club hitmaker is set to release his latest album, entitled Before I Self Destruct, later this year (Dec08). And he has fellow rapper Eminem to thank for one of the tracks, after visiting his rapper friend at home in Detroit - and lifting some music from his PC.

He says, "I did a song produced by Dr. Dre. I got the production from Detroit, because Dre was working with Em right before I got out there. I just missed him. I went through Em's computer and found what I needed. Yes, I did. "I got me the record I needed. I was like, 'Wait till they hear this'. I wrote it; Em heard it. He was like, 'You gotta keep that for yourself. This is too crazy.' First, I think he was gonna take it from me, then he was like, 'He gotta use that for himself.'"

Is it me or are these three chronicling the life of someone? Before I self destruct, Relapse, Detox? This are the titles of their respective albums.
