"I Smell Pussy" is a diss track by G-Unit, a hip-hop group consisting of 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo. The song was released in 2003 as a response to various disses and shots taken against them by other rappers, particularly Irv Gotti and Ja Rule, who were associated with Murder Inc. Records. The lyrics of the song openly taunt and challenge Irv Gotti, Ja Rule, Black Child, and Tah Murdah, accusing them of being fake and weak, hence the repeated phrase "I smell pussy, is that you [name]?" The song also highlights the perceived emotional reactions of their adversaries and compares them to a woman, further insulting their masculinity. Throughout the lyrics, G-Unit asserts their dominance, boasting about their success and dismissing their opponents' attempts to stop them. They also address personal relationships, discussing the difficulties of committing to one person and expressing their unwillingness to be tied down. The group emphasizes their knowledge of the game and their willingness to manipulate and deceive others. The song's chorus talks about the pleasure they derive from sexual encounters and the impact their partner has on them. It suggests a desire for intense physical intimacy without the need for drugs or substances. In the final verse, G-Unit references their close bond and loyalty to each other, highlighting their ability to correct mistakes and stand up to those who challenge them. Towards the end of the song, 50 Cent directs insults towards Irv Gotti, accusing him of trying to imitate Puff Daddy and challenging him to leave Ashanti, an artist signed to Murder Inc. Records, alone. He also takes a dig at Charli Baltimore, another artist associated with the label. Overall, "I Smell Pussy" is a confrontational song that showcases G-Unit's bravado, loyalty to one another, and their willingness to engage in verbal battles with their rivals in the industry.
