What song did the background to 50 cent's song 'hate it or love it' come from

The song has some really nice background music, was this sampled from some 70s funk music? If so, what was the original song?

Good question. I’ve been digging the song too, especially that cool, smooth beat. It sounds like something from an Isaac Hayes blaxploitation sort of song, but I’d be very curious to find out myself.

(Oh, 50 Cent raps on the track, but it is credited to his protege The Game. Just in case that helps anyone else find an answer.)

From the incredibly useful the-breaks.com, “Hate It or Love It” samples disco group The Trammps’ “Rubber Band.” The Trammps are probably best known for “Disco Inferno,” which was on the “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack. Here’s a link to a sample of “Rubber Band.”

To repeat myself, the-breaks.com is the coolest site.

That is an awesome site! Thanks for the great link.
