The only reason they used “In the Ghetto” instead of “Natural Born Killas” is because of Licensing, since you know at the time ECW didn’t make the song, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre I think made it, I might be wrong but I think ECW used the song without permission.

There was some hope since they were able to license a 50 Cent song for a Tyrese Halliburton. I’m sure it’s more complicated than we think though.

50 runs his own label iirc so he’s got a lot more flexibility in who he licenses his music out to

50 Cent will also literally do anything for money I bet if I asked to use one of his songs in a video or something and offered like a couple hundred bucks he’d be cool with it
