"In da Club" received praise from critics; at the 46th Grammy Awards, it was nominated for Best Male Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Song. The accompanying music video for "In da Club" won Best Rap Video and Best New Artist at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. In 2009, the song was listed at number 24 in Billboard{{'}}s Hot 100 Songs of the Decade. It was listed at number 13 in Rolling Stone{{'}}s "Best Songs of the Decade".

Background
After 50 Cent was discovered by fellow rapper Eminem in 2002, he flew to Los Angeles where he was introduced to record producer Dr. Dre.{{cite magazine|title=Cover Story: The Life of a Hunted Man|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5939379/the_life_of_a_hunted_man/1|magazine=Rolling Stone|publisher=Wenner Media|access-date=July 21, 2012|author=Touré|author-link=Touré (journalist)|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090505195936/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5939379/the_life_of_a_hunted_man/1|archive-date=May 5, 2009|url-status=dead|date=April 3, 2009}} "In da Club" was the first of seven tracks he recorded in five days with Dr. Dre. 50 Cent described the studio sessions, saying: {{blockquote|Dre, he'll play dope beats ... [He'll say], 'These are the hits, 50. So pick one of these and make a couple of singles or something.' The very first time he heard [me rap on] 'In Da Club' he said, 'Yo, I didn't think you was going to go there with it, but, you know, it works.' He was probably thinking of going in a different direction with that song. Then he expanded it into a hit record.{{cite web |first=Reid |last=Shaheem |date=February 12, 2003 |url=http://www.mtv.com/bands/123/50_Cent/news_feature_021203/index3.jhtml |title=50 Cent: Money to Burn |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070703100400/http://www.mtv.com/bands/123/50_Cent/news_feature_021203/index3.jhtml |archive-date=July 3, 2007 |website=MTV |access-date=July 5, 2007 |url-status=dead}}}}

Retrieved July 5, 2007. Set in a fictional hip-hop boot camp known as the "Shady/Aftermath Artist Development Center", the video begins with a black Hummer driving to the facility at an unknown location, marked "Somewhere...", (actually the Volcano House in Newberry Springs). Video clips from Eminem's single "Without Me" are seen playing in the entrance on flat-screen TVs. Eminem and Dr. Dre are seen looking down at the lab from a lab balcony with windows. 50 Cent is introduced by hanging upside down from a gym roof. Atwell commented, "I think I could have done better with it, but I really liked the way that it turned out". The video also contains a shooting range, which Atwell deemed appropriate because 50 Cent had been shot nine times. He said, "creatively, I felt like we were able to put guns in a video and have it play. And I like it when you are able to play within the standards and still give the artist something symbolic of what they are going for."
The video ends with the camera zooming out of the club to reveal a two-way mirror with Eminem and Dr. Dre in white lab uniforms, observing 50 Cent and taking notes. Atwell stated that "seeing 50 with Dre and Em having his back is as big a visual statement as it is a musical statement" and the shot was significant because it made clear the club was inside the center and not unrelated performance footage. On January 27, 2003, the video debuted on MTV's Total Request Live at number nine and stayed on the chart for fifty days.{{cite web |url=http://atrl.net/trlarchive/?s=debuts |title=The TRL Archive |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090423075716/http://www.atrl.net/trlarchive/?s=debuts |archive-date=April 23, 2009 |website=ATRL |access-date=June 11, 2009 |url-status=dead}} It also reached number one on the MuchMusic video charts.{{cite web|url=http://universalurban.com/50cent |title="50 Cents' new album, Curtis, takes Hip-Hop to the bank" |access-date=July 5, 2007 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070606030329/http://universalurban.com/50cent |archive-date=June 6, 2007 }}.
