"How to Rob" is a song by American hip hop recording artists 50 Cent and Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie, released in August 1999 as the former's commercial debut single by Columbia Records. The song was intended as the lead single from the 50 Cent's debut studio album Power of the Dollar, which was ultimately shelved by the label due to controversies surrounding the artist. Following this, it was instead released in promotion for the soundtrack to the 1999 film In Too Deep. The latter performer, credited as "the Madd Rapper", included the song as the final track on his debut album, Tell Em Why You Madd (2000).^[1] Furthermore, the song was also included on 50 Cent's 2017 greatest hits album, Best Of. The song was produced by affiliates and then-labelmates of both performers, Trackmasters.^[2]
