“I heard them talking on the radio about G-Unit is over, because they seeing some of the artists having difficulties. What you’re seeing is the music business. Nothing just works in the music business,” 50 Cent told MTV. “There’s no company that has had a higher success rate than G-Unit since I showed up. I’ve accomplished what took people 10 years to do in business, in three. One project doesn’t work and G-Unit is over? What about 50? Put that pressure on me. Cause I’m a smash their head as soon as I come back,” he said.
50 is currently working on his third album, “Before I self Destruct”, which is due out this spring. The album will feature production from Dr. Dre, J.R. Rottem, and Timbaland.
“To be honest with you, I feel [another kind of] pressure when I go in a studio with a producer,” said 50. “Cause I don’t wanna waste time. I don’t live in Florida, so I have to go to Florida to work with Timbaland. I feel like I’m paying airfare for my entourage, I’m paying hotel fare for my entourage, I’m paying studio time. I’m in there with Timbaland like, ’I need to make a f—ing hit.’ I feel obligated under those circumstances. My intentions are to go there and make the record. But if they mail the music to my house, I might listen and go, ’I don’t know if that’s the record.’ But after I came there, I want to make something.”
“I feel like this year is my year… And there’s absolutely no competition. I’m gonna dominate again. It might seem unfair, but I’m gonna do what I came to do.”
In related news, Eminem is rumored to be producing Redman’s new album, “Redman Gone Wild,” which will be in stores later this year.

fuck everybody that is gonna jump on here and say..."50 is gay, Gay-Unit, G-Unot, Blackwallstreet all day"
say what you will...50 went diamond...twice...for those who dont know...thats 10 million sold...thats money...say what you will about him...50 is money...
In Da Club...biggest smash in the rap industry since...Rappers Delight?...maybe...Ski Mask Way, Many Men...50 drops classic's that you can dance too...NO BODY in the game today is doing that...
50 is far from the BEST rapper out there...
but you stupid if you dont realize 50 is what's hot in the streets and the burbs and the corn feilds and afric and europe and asia and south americ and austrailia and fuck...50's what's hot in antartica...
that man will go Diamond again as soon as he drops...and all ya'll haters gonna have to deal with it...
I'M WITH SIR FRANCIS on this one...50 hasn't dropped a wack lp yet. ppl decided to turn on him bc he decided not to have game in his camp. his music is crazy...many men...all of you bumped that song. 50 got it buck next...
u mans r screwed in da head peice i admit his first album was a killer it killed everyone but after dat he got all brave tryin to be a macho man an hes shit now so he can suck on his own dick and g-unit is goin down in shambles man u dont see the game is makin mo shit dan dis dumb nigga 50 jus wanna be noticed more s he fucks about with oprah some ramdon shit he a pussi lol
I feel like this....50 is not the best rapper but a successful business man he is.....there's alotta nigga out that's way better than 50 lyrically!!!!!and the whole entourage thing that's his fault....all u need is like 2 or 3 bodyguards.....so if he paying niggas just 2 roll 4 the fuck of it that's his problem....if this nigga wouldn't be talking greasy on tracks then he wouldn't need so many niggas backing him up.....get rich or die trying was a classic but his second lp was trash....they only reason why he sold so much on the second lp is because he kept marketing it as better than his first lp...and that it was not!!!!and the anticipation..that's really it....niggas was like it can't get no better so they copped it.....his third lp might do the same numbers 50 has his fan base and can't nuttn or nobody take that from 50 but 50 himself....but enough with 50....em producing redmans shit????oh boy!!!!!!fiyah
u right PUSHA 50 aint nuttin no mo
I usually don't do the back and forth but i just have to disagree...game has alwas put out suspect music. he is bi-polar with this rap shit/beef shit. he made a good go at the unit. now im waiting on the solid cd. I just think 50 2nd lp was good. and waiting to hear this 3rd cd from 50. i think his opinions on oprah kanye bush are just that opinions. just like we are giving ours on this site. it doesn't define him as an artist. hell speaking of random...(hiphopdx.com) game just spoke bad on beck about soccer. saying he would kick his ass?? that doesn't take away from 300 bars. before piggybank dropped the rap world was going at 50 bc his team was selling so much. nas took shots in the park...in interviews cats would sneek diss about having to get shot to sell when they weren't...and then the lets bring new york back...when 50 is Southside Queens and never left.
wot shit u on man but good point stilll but i still reckon he cant do it any mo his next im waitin fo but oder dan dat 50 is stil SHIT
50 is better of ditching the g-unot pussy's n go back 2 his old ways n produce another album like get rich or die tryin!!
blackwallstreet 4 life
I gotta Cosign with sir francis, its true
the 50 from 1998 was way hotter to me but... he has been the most successful dude in the game next to hov the 5 years... sirfrancis hit it on the head, he's a earner so i'm sure 50 appreciates the hate
get$
G-Unit is not just about music. It is an empire. They sell clothing, ringtones, video games, etc. 50 Cent has a stake in Vitamin Water and is starting an acting career. G-Unit is an empire, not just a record label. If you think G-Unit Records is going bankrupt, I think you should do a little research. In a Forbes list of the 100 most powerful celebrities in America, 50 Cent ranked #8. G-Unit is actually doing quite well. You can talk all you want about sales being down, but Curtis Jackson raked in over 40 million last year. G-Unit records still has 50 Cent. They also have a couple of newer artists (Hot Rod, Spider Loc, Olivia) who haven't really been tested on the label yet. Having veterans like Mase, MOP, and Mobb Deep shouldn't hurt either. 50 Cent's next album is probably going to go platinum within a couple of weeks. I am not really a 50 Cent fan, but it is not hard to understand the influence he has over the record industry.
I still fuck wit the Unit...I love 50's music, whether he's a good lyricist or not, the nigga knows how to make good songs...yeah lyrically, alotta a niggaz are better but that don't mean their music is hot...50 never tried to be the best lyrically anywayz, that's not what he duz...I think G-Unit is still the most dominant crew in the industry...if they weren't then why would niggaz still be talkin' 'bout them? Everybody is waitin' on Bucks new joint, everybody is waitnig on 50's new joint...real hardcore hip-hop fans are waitin' on that M.O.P. album to drop, Prodigy is droppin' a solo record...and G-Unit as a group are gonna put out another record this year...GAME OVER NIGGA!
I'n not a 50 fan but 50 knows how 2 get his chedda
Dat nigga definently no how to get money
but he still ass
I agree wit all u niggaz except 4 those haterz
Its The Unit......U CANT STOP THE REIGN
i'm a 50 fan all day G Uint 4 life
11 mill is fucking impossible to beat, good luck ;0. 50 is cool, but I'm gonna enjoy him eating it.... I don't think the third album will break 5mill either.... 3mill is good for him at this point.
50 is tyte! and he will do his thing again. Im jus mad about Banks album he needs to drop a FIRE FIRE album he mad nice he needs to show everyone that. Im jus waiting for Young buck man nigga is a man in the south. G units doin it whether u like it or not.
50 be Killing the universal game 4 sho. No one can fuck wit him on that note.... But cats in da bay ain't feeling that cat.... as for me I think 50 be making slapperz but I like that real block shit ..
that real ridah shit(all bay music is ridah shit)... people have to realize that going gold is the new platinum too becuz of bootlegging and burning cd's.... we dont even have to buy them shits anymore we just burn them shits... so if you can go platinum now days thats really saying something......"Bay life cuzin, soak our game like a sponge and never give us shout outs" yadadada Holla!!!!
shit, i dont care about G-unit i read this about Em producing Redman. shit we need that ni99a Reggie Noble in this rap shit.
i like red ... he's tight but he's more of a goofy rapper to me...its hard to take him serious.. but wit em he might come clean...
50 cent who cares booooo they all trash
yeah they rich trash though... you don't get rich being trash or putting out trash...i bet you bought one if 50's albums b4... don't front.... haha
ima agree wit pharoahe....when u think about it, 50 neva dropped sumthin dat wuz actually wack...hiz last album wuz critized cuz it wuz mostly luv songs...but u hav 2 admit u wuz bumpin 2 "Candyshop" nd "Lil Bit"....does were hits....who cares if they were mostly luv songs but wouldnt it b borin if he came out wit hardcore shit ova nd ova again...i mean u got 2 change it up once in a while...nd G-Unit iz the most successful group out der...Dipset cant touch dem nd especially not Blackwallstreet...
Gorilla 4 Life wuz right lol cant stop the reign..say wut u want G-unit the best
damn...wasnt anticipating that much G-Unit love...guess its just more proof G-Unit is still whats hot...
fuck the 50 shit now...
now...peole are excited about Eminem producing for Redman??...i LOVE Em...but that man FUCKED UP Pac's Loyal To The Game...wack ass beats...Em gets a gem or 2 every now and the production wise...but overall he'z still learning that shit and is very suspect to me...
and reguardless of that...there's not anyone that could better fit Redman??...say Em's daddy...Dr. Dre himself??...maybe Just Blaze?...Kanye? Premo? Timbo? Scott Storch?...i'm not serious about a few of those, just throwing out names...but can anyone honestly say Eminem is the BEST producer to handle the bulk of the Redman prodject?...i doubt it...Multiple tracks...sure...bulk of an album...not so much
(side note...did enjoy the Em production on the Re-Up...but...we'll see...)
i do agree with you .. he did pac no justiceon those beats and features....and whats up with everyone trying to get on a pac song.. there would be no way in hell pac would have gotten on tracks with these cup cake azz cats.... they should have given those opprutunities and verses to his real homies not just dck riding artists who can afford to pay for them....
honestly...I ain't feelin' any of the Pac albums that came out after his death (except Makaveli, of course)...but, u can't blame Em for doin' that joint, anybody who was offered to do that would have...I'm sure Em felt like the music was good and some of it was...but there's sooo many Pac fans that I already knew he was gonna be criticisized for doin' that album...
But, Em is a dope producer...i like his beats...him and Reggie Noble together is history in the making!
It's crazy cause 50 on power of a dollar and get rich..was pretty dope wit it.but damn he fell off..and the whole g-unit did...talk about a flop in the hip hop industry!!!!!!
YALL NUTS, 50 IS FIRE, AND HE MAKES GREAT MUSIC. NOW WHAT HE DOES AFTER THE BOOTH, I REALLY DONT GIVE A FUCK!
BITCHASS BOB BARKER AINT NO SHIT BOUT HIP-HOP
Alot of people wont give 50 the respect he deserve but how many people could u say honestly cd was betta than get rich or die tryin, on top of that he know how to sell records so any body who support that g unot shit fuck u get off game dick n find sumthing else to support y the hell u supportin this lame fake ass nigga in the firstplace
respect 50 dat dude came outta nowhere and made classic hitz from da start...he dont even need 2 do nuttin no more....dude has his own video game....clothes...label...movie....etc...
every label has had its time, from bad boy to death row to no limit to cash money, and the list goes on. G unit is falling into that list. Theres no doubt they put out some hot ish for us to ride, blaze or dance to or whatever over the last few years, but their time as the dominate label/camp is coming to an end. Its not just the music, things like the beefs, artist career moves and other projects, eventually take its toll. They may have a hot single or two individually in the future, and certain artist out the camp may do better than others, but as a label/camp, I dont see them having that strangle hold on the industry like they once did. its just part of the music swing. History is repeating itself
So St. Louis
314 Fasho
50 is fire I will give him that...
I feel you proof... I know some cats that spit dumb heat.. the best rapper doesn't mean the rapper wit the most money either... Im from da bay so .. Mac dre is the best rapper to me... but its an aquired taste for some people..\
to me Mac DRE kept it the realest.. he caught a case for his patnaz when he didn't do the robberies and didn't snitch on his boys took 5 years in the Pin 4 them( a real cat).. then came out like he never left rappin and was independent with his own shit form the ground up(thizz iz what it iz)... he never sold out to any record company it was all him..
MAC DRE started the hyfee movement..NOT E-40 thats false... Mac DRE BABY LEARN about it... the boy was crazy...wit lyrics and style.. bay area swagger like no other swagger in the world..and cannot be duplicated...\
If you want to understand the bay.... buy some mac dre albums period.. a real turf cat .. then you will see why we go so dumby ....
50 is a great business man and he knows his business thats real talk.
If he wasnt a sucessfull artist he wouldnt be in the position he was today.
You know whats funny tho? Is that he was right on Piggy Bank shit.
All the time i keept on saying yo Nas,Jadakiss,Fat Joe is nice their cool.
But then when you found out the truth for example Nas dissed him like he said.
Joe runs with racists properganda on VH1 against White People
Jadakiss dissing B.I.G saying he is the king of new york when he said he was gonna rep BIG for life.
I got respekt for Ja Rule and Shyne because they are legends dudes need to understand.
Ja was around Rocafella with Dmx and Shyne was up in Bad Boy Camp gettin them dollars.
You know what i mean but 50 was right on the Piggy Bank shit turned out to be true.
I like Lloyd Banks first album thats tight but he switched up his style tho.
He came real spittin at Game on Authentic that was real street shit.
The G-Unit 2006 albums wasnt that good
all i got to say is if nobody cares bout 50 then nobody cares bout game, cuz dre and 50 made up game. hate it or love it, westside story, how we do, was built, not created by game. 50 cent big fase and dre built da documentary
"i carried game style for nine months and gave birth to it
now im feelin like a proud father, watchin him do it" - the re-up
gorilla 4 life....take curtis jacksons dick out ya ass...did you even listen to what i said. POWER OF A DOLLAR...GET RICH...was fire..but now he's garbage!!!!!!! You like the massacrap??? lol..lol..you dont know hip hop..
BITCH WIT A GAYASS NAME LIKE THAT U A 13 YRS. WHITE BOY TRYIN 2 ACT HARD OVER THE NET!!!!Honestly son i know more hip hop than ever know in your entire life so quit sayin my name just so u can have sum1 2 talk 2 and just go out and try 2 find urself another boyfriend(im guessin ur gay by the way u talk fagget)Im done wit u son!!!!!!
peace
I agree wit makaveli1490
Fuck the Pussy-unit fifty used to be good then he was exposed for bein a lil bitch Yayo is pure shit Buck shit is apprently never comin out and Lloyd Banks didnt sell fifty thousand his openin week sorry ass gorillas
How 'bout we jus c what happens, he's gon' get his paper, but will he get da throne, I'm still waitin' on 50 2 have "IT", we'll c. I honestly believe dat da rap game has gone stagnant, and very few people r holdin it down. And I hold 2 my belief dat I ain't crownin' anybody, 'til they earn it, he'll get his chance @ da crown, we'll c who ends up wit' da torch, not da sales, cuz Ghostface didn't get da sales, yet his album was fire, I'm talkin' 'bout da luv, da type o' shit dat trascends region haterz, critics, and jus' pushes rap 2 another level, dat's what I'm waitin' on
gorilla 4 life..lmao at you....still riding his nutz huh???? lol..lol..lol...lol...you a sadd case famo..
BARKER IS A FUCKIN DUMMY. STAY INSIDE INTERNET THUG. DONT COME OUT TO THE STREETS, U MIGHT START LIKING HIM
50 was hot,but this is not going to be his year...and as far as em producing redman's album ...all i can say is good luck redman...lol...em you are not DRE!!!
Its funny cuz people are reppin 50 hardcore. But, all he is, is another pop-rappin' Ja-Rule. He had a great album Get Rich or Die Tryin' (I got that copy). But, after the fame went to his head, he thought that he could release G-Unit Records like that and know the ins and outs of the industry. He doesn't. Thats why albums from Banks to Yayo, from Mobb Deep to anyone else that is on his freakin label are dropping wood. It is not because of people "bootlegging" their albums, it is because people can only take so much of them talkin bout the same material and reppin' ggggg- G-Unit! all the freakin time. It is getting played out. And, by the way, Olivia was good when she was originally on J Records (look it up) and Spider Loc and Hot Rod are not hot!!! Trust me!! If 50 does not take a hard look and really fix those mistakes and rebound from it, G-Unit could fold up quickly. You dont need to sign highly paid artists like Mobb Deep or M.O.P. or Ma$e or Lil' Scrappy to get credibility. What actually happens is the reverse. This destroys their credability and tarnishes each of these men's careers because they were just as good before they sign to that label. Now it looks like they did for the money and not for the fact that they love Hip Hop.
As far as Eminem producing Redman's new LP, honestly, that is old news. I have heard about Em producing Redman's LP nearly three years ago. But, with Em taking a break from rapping and venturing into improving his production and label disputes with Redman, it never got off the ground. Now, both men got their things settled and I do feel that it will be a good album. Can't wait to hear the sound and the return of the Funk-Doc!
Diggidy honestly u dont know a damn thing wat ur talkin about but i dont even want 2 start wit u nigga cuz i got things 2 do 2day so just say wat u want 2 say but keep in mind that u need 2 study up in ur hip hop son!!!!!!!!!!!

STOP LYIN STOP CRYIN
50 milked the industry and niggas is still copin his shit.. he's got the industry wrapped around his finger, and thats all he wants, fuck the music.. thats the message, and yall keep buyin it... when he was hungry it was completely different though, I aint gon front that nigga had some heat.. Now niggas is fat and not given a fuck.. I guess its back to the underground to see what next.. thats what hip hop feels like to me.. like its a long ass boring commercial and i'm waitin for the show to come back.. lmao!
i bet mr francis is a white dude, cause its only eminent. 50 went diamond once, 1st album. you might as well get a 5o thong while your @ it. even eminem has run out of gas, the reup is struggling to get to plats, 700,000 + is good for a normal artist. But for em thats real bad, real bad.if the unit had focused on making records instead of going to war with d'block, terror squad,blackwallstreet and the whole rap game, maybe they'll still have some subject matter.Come on have you heard the young buck and jazzy pha, scracth was so whack to have them on the cover... what the game needs now is a good dose of the good old doctor... hear that dre DETOX the game for our sakes.. everyday i want to throw away some of my cd's since most ofthe artist are getting whack by the tracks...
G-G-G-G-G-G-G- Unot mothfuckz
50cents commercial joints are hot!! but the nigga cant rap for shit. he can make a hit tho. but so can nelly and chingy. most people that like 50 dont really like hiphop, they just like music. 50cent fans dont know about lyrics, thats why 50 fits good in the pop music world/RnB world. when it comes to content? 50's ass, he's saying the same shit over and over. his songs are rycycled. dudes straight ass, hes a good business man, but so is bill gates. the biggest nerd in the world. 50's don't well for himself and so has Master.P. they both on the same level. SOMEONE GET RID OF THESE G-UNIT CLOWNS THEY ARE RUINING HIPHOP. MOVE OVER AND LET THE REAL MC'S SPEAK. IM TIRED OF ALL THIS GARBAGE. WE NEED MORE NAS,COMMON,KWELIE,LITTLE BROTHER,KRSONE,AZ,ROYCE DA 59,ELZHI,KANYE, AND ALL THAT REAL FOOD FOR THOUGHT, INSTEAD OF ALL THESE LEFT OVERS
