Ayo Technology (4:08)

“Ayo Technology” is the fourth single from 50 Cent’s third album, Curtis.The song, featuring Justin Timberlake and produced by Timbaland, was a hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart, where it charted at #5 and #2 respectively, amongst other national charts across the world. The song has since been covered by Milow, whose version was successful in a number of countries, including Belgium and Germany.

HipHopDX also reported that the song was renamed three times. It was first titled “Ayo Pornography”, then “Ayo Technology”, and then “She Wants It”. Finally, the song title was reverted to “Ayo Technology.” The song features Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, but most sources don’t credit Timbaland for being on the song. In 2008, it was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rap Song. As revealed within its lyrics, Ayo Technology puts a strong emphasis on hot-blooded sexual fantasies, explicit body movements (such as when Timberlake utters the line “Why don’t you sit down on top of me,”) and wild festivities at night clubs.
