From managing artists such as Uncle Murda, to dropping exclusive Roc-A-Fella remixes, Green Lantern's invasion is well underway.
Recently, Lantern sat down with Complex Magazine's Joe La Puma and discussed reconciling with 50, Uncle Murda's shooting incident, and handling beef amongst artists as well as much more.
"It was really surprising actually, to see how cool he was about the shit." Lantern said regarding the 50 situation.
"There are no plans [to work together], but it definitely feels like all bad energy is washed away. So it feels like there’s an open lane." He replied when asked if the two were working on any projects.
Lantern also responded to spectators claiming Uncle Murda's shooting was nothing but a mere publicity stunt.
In other news…
"I see a little bit of the comments that it’s a fucking publicity stunt, but come on man. Who the hell would take a bullet in the head?"
"I really think that the fans are really blood thirsty right now. It’s like hip-hop has turned into this tabloid culture of who said what about whom, who fucked up whom, and everything is on video. Everybody’s being exposed. This is crazy. Like, Kanye can’t even cry on stage in Paris without the whole world seeing it."

green lantern is the shit. but hes been sleepin lately. and no, this is not g- units year.
Green Lantern used to keep them fire ass mixtapes. Back when he was cool with 50 and the Shady Aftermath label, he kept a new CD comin out every week. I remember when the Invasion mixtapes first started, bout the same time Em and 50 was murderin Murder INC
2008 is the year of real hip hop get dat g unit bullshit out of here unless itz buck lol or maybe some banks if he keep spitting like he has lately but every1 else on g unit is falling esp. fif!!
g-unit is barely hanging on by a thread,why are they even the talk of discussion?...get at the kid ~1~
i cant wait for da g-unit album either. der still good and get respect
Respect from who? Name one real nigga that respects 50 in the game. Who Buck? He left. 50’s just a rappin comedian. I listen to it ‘cause I kno he’s bout to say something funny … and the others, SMH
i respect 50 no homo
A pub stunt getting shot in the head.. riiiiiight!
auntie murda is ass so i dnt give a fuck bout him green latern did fall off for a hot min tho them invasion mixtapes go hard
lmao @ auntie murda
Gettin shot 9 times boosted 50's career, and now niggas wish he hadn't survived those shots. Just cause you got shot don't mean you gon be a good rapper. I'd rather listen to Pastor Troy who said:
"They love 50 cent cause he got shot 9 times,
but what about me, I done shot 9 muthafuckas
Left a nigga in his yard for his mother."
think about it like this tho, 25-30 years ago when people would pay u to listen to hip hop no one would, and now all of a sudden its the biggest music movement on the planet.....of course its full of tabloids! its the most popular form of music being sought after
no its not, prove it.
You got to respect that nigga Uncle Murda. Alot of niggas in the game spit that hard shit and is soft as a cotton-ball. That nigga role with some crazy Ass goons and them niggas do get bodies. Brooklyn Niggas stand the fuck up. You think that nigga soft come to East New York !
people wanna know every little detail as soon as it happens, thats GOOD for hip hop, people wanna know wtf is goin on!

If you havn't read one of the articles earlier, LiL Wayne respects him well he actually said it was compliment that 50 dissed him
buck is still with g-unit...do your research before you comment
he was quotin VillageJuan so ironically u need to do some research! lol
damn the hate for 50 n g-unit is strong in here, and actually 50 still gets respect in the street, its funny that the same people hating them are the first ones to listen to hsi shit and then go comment on it, why hate on the nigga he did alot for the game
BK you left NY a LOOOOONGGGG time ago. Actually, there was alot of talk on the street about 50 not taking care of his own. (Emphasis on talk) and that's some of the reason his fan base is falling off. By the way...ain't that what you supposed to do Listen & then Comment? Maybe you should listen harder to music, read tween the lines then comment and not be so 1-sided.
dont get me wrong i love hip hop, but when i turn on 106 and park and see "crank that batman" or whatever its called on the count down, i know somethings wrong with the art form. its a shame that i have to see bow wow and soilder boy on there daily but never see lupe's or consequences's joints, "feel this way" and "superstar" are cool tracks that get no love.....the only people to blame for that is the fans, who keep requesting and buying garbage....hey stupid people like stupid music.......

^^REAL TALK!!
Cant we all just get along?
i completely agree wit what he said....
same here..
thatz kinda true what he said
but i still believe that uncle murder shit is a stunt (i mean green lantern manages murda, so he will not air his shit out like that)
and about kanye...this is hip hop so i think the fans deserve to know what was goin on with kanye especially after he lost his mums...i mean if the did not show it green lantern himself would not have known
50 is ah fuckin money maker. everybody jus hate cuz of dat. rick ross stole dat name from somebody but u never heard nobody say shit bout dat cuz he aint got money like 50. more money more problems aint dat wat dey say. an i kno ya ah die heart wayne fan and even he respect 50. gotta respect ah nigga dat made as much money as 50 has in ah small amount of time
green's my fave DJ, if you haven't heard NWO, find it and listen to it
how the fuck did this become a g-unit comment board, that shit has hardly anything to do with the article.did anyone read that shit, lantern basically said hip-hop was on some paris hilton, lindsay lohan type shit. i don't bout yall but that's some emabarissing shit. one of you dude's said there's alot of hate for 50 but the haters seem to be the first ones listening to the music. FUCK THAT. i used to like 50, now that i've grown to dislike that nigga i've ducking his shit since he dropped massacre. i ain't hear curtis yet, cept' the singles and buy the respone and his sales seems i'm not missing much.
fuck 50 cent
Let me shut it down!!!! Green Latern is 100% right...EVERYBODY that reads these threads, has a respopnse to them...tabloid culture. ONE.
