"Straight to the Bank" is the second single from 50 Cent's third album, Curtis. The song is produced by Ty Fyffe, with additional production from Dr. Dre.[2] Tony Yayo contributes with a laughing effect in the chorus. This stuttered laughing effect was then later copied by Lupe Fiasco on his song, The Coolest, from Lupe Fiasco's The Cool.

Six days after the song was leaked on the Internet, it debuted at number 48 on the

Las Vegas, Nevada, while leading Mayweather's entourage into the ring. At its highest, "Straight to the Bank" hit number 3 on the iTunes

Remixes

An official remix was made featuring up and coming

2Pac and Daz Dillinger. Both guest star's verses were taken from previously released songs by both artists. The main remix is the song "I Get Money
