50 Cent, and the G-Unit camp has had a simmering beef with Swizz and Cassidy for about 2 years now. Cassidy had a not-so-flattering representation of 50 Cent in his B-Boy video, and Curtis shot back with a 3D-animated version of Cassidy in the Piggy Bank video. Things reached their peak however, when Tony Yayo had words with Swizz Beatz on the set of Busta’s “Touch It” video. It’s speculated this argument led to the as-of-yet unsolved murder of Busta’s bodyguard Israel Ramirez.
The situation has apparently been worked out however, as Swizz confirms he not only got into a studio with both Fif and Yayo, but also banged out 5 tracks for 50’s new album, one of which is sure to appear on it.
Swizz recalled: “First, it was a little tension, It was the first time I seen Yayo [since the “Touch It” video shoot]. I didn’t know what to expect. I went in there with two people with me. ... But it ended up being a positive vibe. The first beat I put on, immediately it was a smasher. We wound up doing, like, five joints.”
Swizz has also confirmed that any beef between G-Unit and Cassidy has also been squashed.
“I told 50 what Cassidy said, 50 was like, ‘Yo, he’s being competitive. It ain’t no problem.’ I let Cassidy know the conversation we had — you ain’t gonna hear Cassidy saying nothing about 50 no more. Just like you ain’t never gonna hear Yayo probably ever say nothing about me. It is what it is. I stepped to 50 by myself the first time I seen him like, ‘Is it a problem?’ It was no problem; he played me his whole album.”
No word as to what track Swizz produced for 50, or what this means for the future of relations between the camp (or even what prompted 50 to actually squash a beef), but we’ll be sure to keep you informed.

Yeah Yeah..Cass would of killed G-unit if he didn't get that jail time.
Save your rep and cred Swiss fucking pull the plugs on those Curtis tracks.
So what does jail have to do with anything? He could've "killed" them when he got out. Save his rep and street cred? Does rep and street cred pay your bills?
Yeah it does,cos if Curtis is a wack ass album,and Swiss is doing a few tracks on it,hows that gonna look for him.............
^^^^ That don't make no sense. You know how many nice producers be on wack albums, if aything HOT producers make the albums especially nowadays when beats n hooks reign supreme. As a matter of fact any producer that gets any track on 50s joint is instant ballin' you know he's at LEAST gonna do 2 Million plus publishing, so you times that by the royalties the producers get, you talkin instant few hundred thousands to millions... keep your street cred, niggas in the streets ain't paying bills, they too busy tryin to jack shit u pay bills on. LOL
This is good 4 hip hop, this beef shit is played out, trill talk, homie! It's sad, but Interscope is gonna buy the hell out of Curtis. That's why 50 "raised the stakes", he said if Graduation outsell Curtis he'll retire, (which makes me ponder will this make Game come out of HIS "Retirement.") Here another thought, if Hate It or Love It,(Game's next and "last" album), will he,(50) kill himself or let him back 2 da Unit, and even bring back his old homies he walked out on, Bang'Em'Smurf and Domination, just a thought people.
SWIZZ AND FIF SHOULD BE A GOOD COMBO.....I LIKE THAT FIFTY IS REACHING OUT TO MORE PEOPLE IN THE GAME LIKE SWIZZ....MAYBE HIP HOP DOES LIVE...LOL
not really interested in swizz big ass nose
Who's actually gonna "BUY" Curtis? Seriously? Are YOU gonna purchase it?
Hell nah
somepeople might but not me
HONESTLY, I think 50's quality is worth the money, but shit I haven't copped a CD since 98-99
YES...lol
I'm copping curtis...wat u mad hater
I'm coppin' it fa sho
I'll be picking up Kanye & 50's new joints.
just be getn ye.never bought a fif cd
nope i never bought a fif lp and never will sorry
I'm gonna buy it for sure, both 50 & kanye's joints. I produce / make beats and I know the value of purchasing albums. An old man told me that people, especially someone in my position should not bootleg or download cos what goes around, comes around. If I make it to the game someday, i wont appreciate someone downloadin my shit. Believe it or not, as odd as it may sound, I buy almost every good rap album that comes out. Just this year, I have bought like 30 albums (rap and rock). Permit me to say I'm black. If I dont buy it, Ii dont try gettin it on bootleg or downloading it.
50 Cass and Swizz on a track that gonna big tune and i will buy Curtis
Hopefully we get the old 50 on these bangers by swizz!
Interscope are gonna buy alot of curtis.
hmmm..interesting....funny thing is def jam and all the rest of them labels all do the same shyt..
i never said they didn't...........
Yeah, that's true.. ALL labels order copies of the cds for promotional reasons.... i.e. to give copies away on radio stations, artist appearances at record stores/book stores, and at concerts and signings and stuff... BUT, it's usually a NEGLIGIBLE amount... like a thousand or two...
fuk 50
this could be good for hip-hop. Swizz can help dead the beef with jada and d- block and they could make a real big New york record. Save Hip Hop
Im sick of this niga being in the news every five minutes. the album still gone suck. and anybody that waste they moneyon that album is a damn fool.
Swizzy made a good business move....still think curtis gonna suck ass tho
it may not tho cos think about it, 50 plus Aftermath will not allow a wack ass album to come from that company. Me personally, I have not seen much failure come out of Dr. Dre's camp...think about it
swizz beats as a producer is dope.......so i guess the joint on the album with 50 should be nice...hope 2 hear joints with cassidy and lloyd bank$ (the lyrical slayers)
the niggas who keep saying that they not buying curtis, i bet yall aint by the massacre too, but that still did 1.5 first week. its time you irrevelant bitch ass haters take a seat.i guess the fact that 50 is a confident dude and he speaks his mind regardless makes you niggas hate.especially since the nigga rich as hell.like i have been sayin that internet niggas been dissin 50 and sayin he has no buzz, but you niggas get your music from where you live on the fuckin internet!!!!he has no buzz but yet every site in the world has something on him, dropping the same day as 50 was the most buzz kanye ever had, no george bush to diss this year.
nigga you crazy kanye aint got to gergoge bush. the question is who 50 gone diss to sale records. like always.
i aint gone lie i bought the massecre cause the singls he droped was hot. but on this one he droped 5 singles and im only feeling one plus about time the album come out it's already gone be leaked.
You living in the past. People bought the massacre cos of get rich.No matter what his second album was he would of got high figures.
And kanye could talk about Bush killing 1mill people in iraq but then he'd probs get fucked over by the fking biased media.
"People bought the massacre cos of get rich."
Havana2Bbueno, i feel u on that one cos thats the exact reason I bought "The Massacre"
"hope 2 hear joints with cassidy and lloyd bank$ (the lyrical slayers)"
Lyrical slayer and LLoyd Banks don't ever belong in the same sentance.
Ever.
u mean always correct?
Lloyd banks = a lyrical slayer
yah thats it, 50 got fans and haters,
i like 50 and sometimes i dont but ill cop curtis
Word!!..imma still cop curtis, and if that makes any1 mad....u can go eat a dick
for the people that love 50...do you listen to other hiphop music? yayo doesnt count. his best line of his career so far has been "go shorty its your birthday."
50 is under rated... he ight . he no where near the best....... and 50 sells. i am gonna cop curtis because hip hop need record sales... and while i cop 50 shit, i am gonna cop kanye shit 2...
I BET DRE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS BEEF SQUASH

EVERYBODY TALK MONEY, wil lets STICK to it
curtis the album is gonna be hot youll niggas just dont understand 50 can rap unlike these little niggas wit ghost writers (lil wayne) he writers his own music so he gets money because niggas wit ghost writters have to give ghost writers atleast half of what they make off an album G-unit get wit it or get lost
i can't see skinny-ass Swizz steppin' to steriod-ass 50..
SWIZZ DID WHAT WAS BEST, 50 WOULD OF PUT HIS SHIT ON ICE LIKE JA
