"Get Money" is the third and final single released from the Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s debut album, Conspiracy. The original version, which heavily sampled Sylvia Striplin's "You Can't Turn Me Away", was produced by EZ Elpee with verses done by The Notorious B.I.G. and Lil' Kim. The official remix entitled "Gettin' Money (The Get Money Remix)" was produced by DJ Enuff, Lance 'Un' Rivera and The Notorious B.I.G. This version used a different instrumental, sampling Dennis Edwards' 1984 track, "Don't Look Any Further" featuring new verses by Lil' Kim and B.I.G. as well as a verse from Lil' Cease. "Get Money" became the group's second biggest hit, peaking at 17 on the Billboard 100. It sold 500,000 copies domestically and was certified platinum by the RIAA. It ranked number 89 in Billboard's Top Hot 100 Hits of 1996.

The song was used in the 2002 film 8 Mile and in the 2009 biographical movie Notorious (with Lil' Kim's verse.) The repeated line "Take Money" in the 2Pac song "Hit 'Em Up" is a play on "Get Money". This song, which also used the same Dennis Edwards sample as the "Get Money" remix, is a very violent diss track aimed at Biggie Smalls and other members of the Bad Boy record label.

The intro to the 2002 Lil Wayne song Way of Life contains the line "Cash Money", which interpolates the chorus to this song and refers to Wayne's record company at the time; it uses the Dennis Edwards sample as well.
