Queens rapper 50 Cent’s commentary on his fellow G-Unit members, particularly Tony Yayo, continued this month as he spoke on the sense of entitlement some artists have, during an interview with Philadelphia-based radio station Hot 107.9.
50 named Yayo as an artist who he believes felt he was owed something or should have been given freely to thanks to 50 Cent’s success.
He also revealed that at the start of their music careers, he expected the relationship between himself and Yayo to be similar to that of Jay Z and Kanye West’s.
“I think that his frustration when he gets a little frustrated it goes, ‘Or you could just give it to me.’ Like ‘Why do I have to do it if you can just give it to me,’” 50 Cent said. “When it’s like, ‘But who’s gonna give it to me?’ I gotta work for everything that I have…He had an easier perception of how things actually took place…What were my expectations? I was expecting possibly for us to have that—what Jay Z experienced with Kanye.”
In addition to Yayo, 50 Cent says Olivia and Young Buck were two artists who he also gave freely to. But in the end, the G-Unit helmsman says he was out of $250,000 due to a loan he gave Young Buck and $600,000 for a home he bought Olivia.
“When me and Buck fell out, he owed me $250,000,” he said. “Let’s say that G-Unit member owes me a quarter of a million dollars. When Olivia, when we ended up resolving that she had a home that I purchased for $600,000…When I’m constantly having to face the reality of how people actually conduct themselves in business, it doesn’t make any sense. Like when you say, ‘Because we’ve been friends I should just give it to you.’ It’s like they really feel like ‘Yo, come on you got it. Just give it to me.’”
Towards the end of his interview with Hot 107.9, 50 Cent was asked how he felt about the lack of genuine artists in Hip Hop. He said that artists portraying something that they aren’t has become the norm in today’s music.
“I don’t think it means anything anymore,” the rapper said. “In the very beginning when I fell in love with it, it was everything. It was important that you actually was writing something that related to your lifestyle or your actual experience. And it was what made you special as an artist. You didn’t get a chance to just say and do anything. But now I don’t think the audience that consumes it actually is aware of it. So they just accept what sounds good.”
Although 50 Cent has addressed the status of his relationship with those in G-Unit on several occasions, he’s become even more vocal in his commentary about the group following remarks Tony Yayo made in February.
According to AllHipHop.com, in a handful of comments made on Instagram, Yayo informed fans that G-Unit was not together and that 50 Cent was not “rocking” with him or Lloyd Banks.
RELATED: 50 Cent Responds To Tony Yayo’s Recent Comments Regarding G-Unit
LOL THE BITCH INTERVIEWING HIM SAID RICK ROSS SHOULD WIN AN OSCAR FOR HIS ACTING
lol that’s the perfect definition of a dickrider
The bitch forgot about the part where 50Cent helped make Ross twice as big as he was before their beef. The only time in history where a beef made a rapper bigger than he was before.
How is he twice as big but selling the exact same?
If 50 Cent truly made Rick Ross twice as big he would be at least platinum once by now but numbers don’t lie.
“The bitch forgot about the part where 50Cent helped make Ross twice as big as he was before their beef. The only time in history where a beef made a rapper bigger than he was before.”
Ok but what does that have to do with William Roberts being an actor?
50 got his white bitches thinking record sales is what makes you “Big” but we all know that you can sell 100 Billion records for Jimmy Iovine and still get treated like a bitch and have your own brands blurred out in your videos like a lil Ol hoe.
ross is still playing lil theaters instead of stadiums and arenas.
he cant even sell out an arena in his own city. thats not twice as big.
G-Unit Reunion June 1 at Summer Jam, just watch.
Godfather 50 gonna bring out Yayo, Banks, Buck, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Styles P, Sheek Louch, Mobb Deep and maybe even some of Dipset.
Jimmy Iovine created the perfect Negro for teenage white boys to worship but in the process he literally ruined this dude as an artist, no relevant self respecting street rapper would go anywhere near this dude unless he was just desperate or bankrupt.
yo gotti, schoolboy q both relevant street rappers that worked with him recently.
2 chainz said he wants to work with 50 and thats hes one of the smartest men he ever met.
I don’t know if you consider The Lox relevant but they’re definitely official street rappers who been working with 50 for the new album.
I wouldn’t be too worried about a homosexual midget fake blood gangster and an obese correctional officer and their pals not wanting to work with me if I was Godfather 50.
Yo Gotti and Schoolboy Q would never put 50Cent on their albums.
2-Chainz had Fergie on his last album so of course he would work with 50, he has no shame, didn’t he have Mike Posner on his first album?
The Lox are no longer relevant, their last album sold 8,400 in first week sales and they helped destroy 50s credibility by branding him a snitch, a rat, a snake and a pig.
The guy you labeled a “fake homosexual midget blood gangster” was on 50Cents BOSS Emienmes album while 50 wasnt which say a lot.
The guy you labeled an “obese corrections officer” had 50Cents BOSS Dr Dre on his album and on film giving him 100K Hublot watches on his B Day which says a lot.
Jimmy Iovine who is 50s BOSS made sure that French Montana and Diddy have ditributiin for Bad Boy records on Interscope which says a lot.
Your Godfather in the immortal words of Nas is a “buffoon” and a “Porch Monkey”.
lol like French Montana needs distribution when he only sellin 150k LOLOL
FLOP MONTANA
“The Lox are no longer relevant, their last album sold 8,400 in first week sales and they helped destroy 50s credibility by branding him a snitch, a rat, a snake and a pig.”
What does it say about their credibility to work with someone they branded a snitch, rat, snake and a pig? Pretty sure they still some of the most respected and credible NY rappers in the biz.
Bitch nigga, them white folks got tired of your crack tales about genocide of your own kind so they replaced you with rappers that got metaphors, multis and double entendres, your gimmick got stale bitch boy, LiL Wayne is better with words.
better with words and cocks.
i see the same bitter people leaving the same hatin ass comments on EVERY 50 cent article. your lives must be so lonely and depressing.
This BITCH is so lonely and depressed that he actually admits he reads EVERY 50 Cent article with such intensity that he can identify individual comments, and then comment on the comments like they hurt him inside…what a life.
Hey I’m a 50 Cent fan Bruthadee, whats your excuse for being on here?
he just wants someone to talk to, hes like 40 with no friends IRL.
His whole spiel about the harsh realities of the urban experience marketed towards the demographic of the actual audience sounds like some shit his Caucasion handlers pumped into his brain at a board meeting, luckily we have artists like Kendrick Lamar who allow their music to do the talking and dont feel the need to have the next mans name in their mouth to generate a buzz.
“luckily we have artists like Kendrick Lamar who allow their music to do the talking and dont feel the need to have the next mans name in their mouth to generate a buzz.”
Wait, you mean the guy who dissed like every rapper he had worked with on Control?
funny thing about the universe is karma. dissing a nigga that aint never done you or any of yours nothing for a laugh then diss his dead mother. just for internet nerds. thats the definition of a fuck fuck boy. i bet even killers dont mock they victims after death they let em rest, but not you fuck boys. you laugh at retarded kids you get retarded kids
He needs circus stunts or beefs to get some attention since his music sucks so he fabricated this big Ol GUnit beef so that he could bring out GUNIT at SummerJam and make it a big deal for his stanbase.
i loved the circus stunt where he made Gunplay levitate
Supreme made Fiddys mom levitate with fire and smoke.
he was doing the family a favor and saved on the cremation costs
I actually feel what he saying. I’ve had similar experiences with my friends on a much smaller scale of course. But I know exactly what hes saying.
What kind of Trick buys a bitch a $600,000 house when she aint even worth 100,000 as an artist? No wonder G Unit records is dead and this nigga just lost 16million.
obviously he aint really buy her a house just letting her live in it
“What kind of Trick buys a bitch a $600,000 house when she aint even worth 100,000 as an artist?”
A nigga with more bread than you would ever see in 200 lifetimes.
“on a much smaller scale” hahahahaha. What we talking about here…u let a nigga use your food stamp card?
“”on a much smaller scale” hahahahaha. What we talking about here…u let a nigga use your food stamp card?”
I know its hard for a broke nigga to understand but real niggas thats out here getting money and hustling know how it goes. Your family and friends always comin around with they hands out looking for somethin.
I hate when the person doing the interview be on 50’s dick. WTF?
smh, for a nigga always claiming he’s such an untouchable boss, yayo seems to be on his mind quite a lot of times lmao
he was asked a question smh shut the fuck up hater
My words cut like a fuckin knife, I type some shit on the Internet that make a mutthafucka scream out some random nigga name that ain’t got shot to do with the article, I’m a bad muthafucka. Don’t fall for he bullshit, Yayo gay ass is a yes man and this whole shit is a fabrication so Gay Unit fanboys will get all giddy when Curtis brings out Yayo and Banks at SummerJam.
he is like that old bitch that craves gosipping and shit. Nigga u fell off. Deal with it.
“My words cut like a fuckin knife, I type some shit on the Internet that make a mutthafucka scream out some random nigga name that ain’t got shot to do with the article, I’m a bad muthafucka.

In other words, you’re a geek with no life who gets off on trolling and hating on rappers you don’t like. What a sad pathetic life that must be! So lonely!
Your pet bitch bit the bait.
feelings were caught by Gordon who is pretending to be someone else while responding to his own comment
Wack rapper using wack tactics so the actual public will be shocked when he brings Yayo and Banks out at SummerJam, wack rapper is making it too obvious.
I’m curious why you clicked on a 50 Cent article if you think hes “wack”. Just to hate?
Yeah nigga I came here to hate, when did I ever say I respect niggas??? LMAO
Eat a dick bitch boy, if I think your music is wack I won’t listen to your music bitch boy but if you got Kanye and JayZ in your mouth bitch boy then I might want to hear what you have to say bitch boy because I fucks with JayZ and Kanye music bitch boy.
Is that difficult to understand bitch boy?
cool just clearing it up.
you must be a sad and lonely person.
Bet money them random words make a bitch holler out some niggas name like when you shove dick up in a bitch with tight pussy. Make em HOLLER and let me know it hurt!
YEAH, THATS FOUL AS FUK FIF… YAYO AND YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO BE LIKE JAY AND WEST? HAHAHA NO MY NIGGA, MORE LIKE JAY AND BLEEK… YAYO WAS NOT EVEN ON A LEVEL TO MAKE IT ON HIS OWN.. HE WAS YOUR HYPE MAN.. AND HE SHOULD OF STAYED JUST THAT, A HYPE MAN! HE WAS LOYAL TO G UNIT AS IF HE SIGN OFF HIS SOUL…AND NOW YOU THROWNING THIS NIGGA UNDER THE RUG LIKE HE WAS NOT EVEN IN THE GROUP? OR YOUR HOOD HOMIE? MAN I WAS MAD AT GAME FOR BEING AN UNLOYAL NIGGA BUT YOU DOING THE SAME SHIT.. FIF IS A DOG AS NIGGA MAN.. DAMN.. CANT SEE HOW THIS NIGGA THINK YAYO WAS SUPPOSE TO BE LIKE YAYO LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
insert long winded bruthadee comment about white boys and crabs while giving props to the fakest rapper in history, officer william, here
50 aint selling no more than 50,000 copies first week w/ animal ambition and this is coming from a big fan
maybe, thats not bad for an indie artist way past his prime
i think nelly sold like 15k first week on his last project.
ja rules last album sold 3600 first week.
mobb deep just sold 7100 first week.
They shouldn’t have accepted loans and houses, but what a truly snake thing for Curtis to do to then air their dirty laundry just to discredit them.
“loved the circus stunt where he made Gunplay levitate”
50’s goons did that.
50 is the circus master that conducted the circus stunt.
Should have seen that magic bullet that made Mazaradi Foxx levitate off this earth or them bushes that had 40 Glocc levitating through the streets,
mazi wasnt with g-unit no more so circus master 50 didnt save him
Gunplay was throwing does and got some licks in on 4 niggas but 40 Glocc went heads up and was scared to throw a punch, he should have just beat a a woman like Fiddy.
gunplay got zero licks in until the pepper spray came out. them cops saved his life. 40 glocc is not g-unit so i dont know why you talkin about him even though everyone knows game had the gun on him.
” he should have just beat a a woman like Fiddy.”
You mean like Game. LOL. Nigga beat his wifes ass in front of his children and even smashed a table and made his daughters leg bleed. I think 40 might have a domestic case too, G-G-G-G-G-G-Unot!
40 Glocc thought he was a G Unit Crip untill that Blood Game had him hiding in the bushes, then Games manager had that G Unit nigga that smacked his kid murdered and shot up Yayo Mamas house and then 50 snitched on their operation and Henchmen doing life.
snitching rulez.
LOL Games manager is the one who was snitching. Look it up they got paperwork on that man telling and getting brothers locked up to save his on behind.
50 album about to flop like his personality.
lololol
hell yes im praying every night for his downfall
Nearly all his old fans have jumped off the bandwagon but some of them are stubborn.
you probably use to rock them g-unt t-shirts bruthadee amirite?
“Wait, you mean the guy who dissed like every rapper he had worked with on Control?”
:^ yeah Kendrick did some HipHop shit and rapped about taking his peers fans by out-rapping them because thats what HipHop was built on, Kendrick isnt some clown that gets in every interview and name drops every single rapper alive just to get a buzz, Kendrick might be a nerd but he aint no bitch.
the thing about interviews is they usually ask you a question and then you respond.
and how does name dropping get you buzz in reality?
Yeah the interviewer forced him to name drop Kanye West and JayZ and now we get a fuckin headline with Kanye and JayZ in it and everybody wants to know what was said about two of the biggest rappers on the planet at the moment,
That’s the world we live in fif, everybody wants a handout.
“What does it say about their credibility to work with someone they branded a snitch, rat, snake and a pig? Pretty sure they still some of the most respected and credible NY rappers in the biz.”
It says their last album did 8,400 copies first week and they dont want to get a job at Burger King.
I would rather work at BurgerKing than associate with a homosexual snitch.
its funny cause you probably do work at burger king if you dont collect wellfare.
“My words cut like a fuckin knife, I type some shit on the Internet”
Negro please, you got like one groupie and his sad ass is a G Unit Dickrider so that dont even count. Anyway the monkey is delusional comparing himself to real artists like Kanye and JayZ who drop consistent hits and run successful labels. I guess Lloyd Banks will be comparing himself to Rakim Rakim next.
who’s Rakim Rakim?
He meant Rakim Allah, no such rapper named Rakim Rakim, LOL.
Name dropping isnt just about being an attention whore or an obsessed Dickrider, sometimes its strategy because the names are bigger than your own. To look at Kanyes mentions at @KanyeWest and look at how many times obsessed fanboys drop his name.
Bruthadee is friggin huge on the internets
Fanboy fags with a dream that their heroes might acknowledge them one day, LMFAO, sad shit.

Here’s a radio rip of a new Jake One produced song that comes out tomorrow! Sounds like the best one so far!
Hot Slop
50 my nigga but shit…stick to YOUR music and YOUR project. stop shittin on ur old crew
new fiddy!
rapradar.com/2014/04/14/new-music-50-cent-hustler/
https://hiphopdx.com/index/singles/id.27118/title.50+Cent-Hustler
say whatever but he’s right ..
50 is high. How the hell u and Yayo gone have a Jay / Kayne relationship when that nigga can’t rap. You know he can’t stand on his own in this game. Yall needed a Jay / Bleek relationship when Jay said as long as he living Bleek is a millionaire. He held his end and rode for u, u dropped the ball and turned your back. U should take care of that nigga cause he your home boy. Like Gucci Pucci is rich cause Ross is his home boy. Real nigga shit…
Jayz is too mature to shit on Bleek on some gossip whore mess, Gucci Pucci been down with Rozay since the Poe Boy days back when E-Class was the biggest promoter in Miami, just like TaTa been with JayZ from day 1. 50 Cent has no more day 1s because he is a hater.
hating on yayo? really? lol
“Jayz is too mature to shit on Bleek on some gossip whore mess, Gucci Pucci been down with Rozay since the Poe Boy days back when E-Class was the biggest promoter in Miami, just like TaTa been with JayZ from day 1. 50 Cent has no more day 1s because he is a hater.”
why is this 40 year old rick ross groupie still clickin on every 50 article writing comments about rik rozz?
Girls say your name when you fuck em and gay dudes say your name when they want to get fucked by you, keep Hova name out ya mouth fuck boy.
bruthadee was trolling for teens to chat with last night but no one took his bait lolol
Get rich or die trying = 8 million (2003)
The Massacere = 5 million
Curtis = 1 million
Before I Self Destruct = 475,000 (2009)
The buffoon lost over 7.5 million fans in 7 years, each year of his career he lost millions of fans.
Every album that 50cent dropped sold HALF or worse than half of what the one sold previous.
No artist in the history of rap music has fallen off harder, his G-Unit records is virtually dead and he hasn’t released an album in 5 years while his enemy Game who helped dismantle his label and damage his career is dropping albums every year.
KANYE WON!
He sold 8 mill on hype, and The Massacre sold on being at the top of the rap game and dissing everyone (Jada, Joe, Nas, Game in the Piggybank video)
He didn’t ‘lose’ 7.5 mill fans, as most of these were fairweather dick riders that only bought the album because it was hot at the moment.
How much was Power of the Dollar projected to sell? His core fan base is nowhere near the size of Kanye, Jay, Drake, Wayne, Em, so that is why he is suffering in sales. If he worked on that he would still be selling well.
^^ what a nerd
This Nascar nigga must be smoking Meth.
JayZ and Kanye?! NEVER. Nope not even close.
JayZ mentored Kanye and taught Kanye how to be a Boss and that’s why Kanye has Good Music Records with relevant artists like Big Sean, Pusha T, Jon Legend, and Kid Cudi dropping albums.
JayZ taught Kanye how to build his own brand outside of Roc A Fella because thats what a real man is supposed to do for his brother, JayZ didnt want some yes-man chauffeur type dude up under him he wanted a Capo to his Don.
nah kanye wanted to be a boss from jump. yayo aint got that in em. he’s just a good soldier.
yall faggots take shit too literal.
he meant he wanted tony yayo to be a self sustaining artist standing on his own and running his own company. no one said he had to be the next kanye or that 50 cent sees himself as jay-z.
50 is more like Nelly and Tony Yayo is more like Murphy Lee, G Unit records is were artists go to die. Jay-Z and Kanye are icons while 50 was just another MC Hammer who was huge and then fell off after the actual audience got bored with him.
nelly ?GTFOH
What ever happened to Murphy Lee? Is he dead? In prison? Fighting baby mamas on Maury?
F you wanna play the numbers dont lie game here we go:
50 cents 4 albums: over 22 million worldwide
G-units first album: over 3 million worldwide
Get rich or die trying movie soundtrack: over 3 million worldwide
Games first album: over 5 million worldwide
Lloyd banks first album: over 4 million worldwide
Tony yayos first album : over 1 million worldwide
Young bucks first album : over 1 million worldwide
Total sales: 39 million
Jay-Z’s 12 albums: over 28 million worldwide
Jay-Z’s 5 collab albums: over 9 million worldwide
Beanie sigels 6 albums: 2 million worldwide
Memphis bleeks 4 alums: over 2 million worldwide
J Coles 2 albums: over 1 million
Total sales: 42 million
50 got 3 number 1 songs on billboard hot 100 (with only one feature, nate dogg, allthough 50 wrote the hook for him) and a total of 9 top 10 songs on the same chart(2 more with no features, total of 4 nonfeatured)
Jay-Z got 1 number one (which featured alicia keys)
and a total of 11 top 10 songs(4 of them had no features), plus one with watch the throne
50 cent got one number one feature, and 5 top 10s (1 with a singer)
Jay-Z got 3 number 1 features (all with singers), and 9 top 10s (8 with singers)
Get rich or die tryin’ sold more than Jay-Zs 4 highest selling albums combined
Jay-Z only got one album outselling 50s second album, and that is with a margin of 13 000
50 cent got an average 5.5 million sold per album
Jay-Z got an average of 2.3 million sold per album
If you combine the sales of ALL jay-z albums since get rich or die tryin’ was released, Get rich or die tryin’ still sold more
50 cent accomplished that in 4 year period, jay did it in 17 years.
you forgot kanye, rick ross, rihana
Those numbers prove what we have been saying forever:
50 Cent and Gunit were an overhyped Interscope creation that was more hype than substance who got lucky to ride the coattails of the Eminemn hype when Eminem was at his peak.
JayZ had a #1 album on Billboard back in 1998 and he just had a #1 album on Billboard in 2013
50 had a #1 album on BillBoard back in 2005 and hasn’t had one since…..
15+ years and JayZ is still on top while 50 fell off after only 3
50 only has 3 Platinum solo albums
JayZ has 12 platinum solo albums…
Numbers don’t lie.
JayZ had his first Top 10 single back in 1998 and another Top 10 single in 2013
50cent had his first Top 10 single back in 2003 and his last Top 10 single in 2007
Hype like MC Hammer wont last but a true artist has longevity in his career.
This dude made a bogus list for JayZ and excluded Kanye and Camron but then he puts Game on the 50Cent list. LOL.
JayZ has 52 Grammy nominations with 19 wins
50 Cent has 19 Grammy nominations with only one win.
JayZ is a true artist self made who came in the game with no co signs and crawled his way to the top and has stayed on top for almost 20 years, 50 had the biggest two cosigns in the history of rap with Dre and Eminem and in less than 7 years he was no longer a platinum selling artist.
Numbers can be skewed and manipulated to suit a persons agenda but the number that comes to mind when we think of JayZ is the number 1996 when the God Hov first debuted his classic.
i love reruns
“JayZ has 52 Grammy nominations with 19 wins
50 Cent has 19 Grammy nominations with only one win.”
Rik Rozz has 2 nominations and zero wins. LOL
“JayZ has 52 Grammy nominations with 19 wins
50 Cent has 19 Grammy nominations with only one win.”
50Cent is no longer on a Major label, LOL.
an artist as big as 50 cent is doesnt need a major label when he can do what they do without them.
I don’t understand why so many 50 cent dick riders feel the need to defend this dude. Nobody likes him and nobody likes his music. He’s done and Steve Stout was right … The MUSIC is the platform that these guys parlay into deals and to the extent the music dries up, so does their relevance and so do the deals. Stick a fork in this muthaphucka. He’s done
I dont understand why 50 Cent haters feel the need to click on every 50 article or new song just to hate and put down his fans. I seen this exact same comment on his new song word for word.
I don’t know about you but I’m a normal guy so when I don’t like someone or their art I try to ignore it and don’t immerse myself in their music and news which in turn would only make me angrier and more bitter.
P.S. I like 50 and his music so try again.
50 cents 4 albums: over 22 million worldwide
G-units first album: over 3 million worldwide
Get rich or die trying movie soundtrack: over 3 million worldwide
Games first album: over 5 million worldwide
Lloyd banks first album: over 4 million worldwide
Tony yayos first album : over 1 million worldwide
Young bucks first album : over 1 million worldwide
LMFAO!!!
The last weed plate they dropped was that Lloyd Banks flop back in 2010 and it did 130K total.
Tony Yayo dropped one album and was done
Game dropped one album on G Unit and he was done.
dude is a shitty leader.
He’s a shitty leader because he made them all famous millionaires?
How many millions did MMG sell in the last 10 years? Or Bad Boy records?
A shitty leader because he never showed his team how to establish their own brand so when he fell off they all fell off. BadBoy is still cranking out platinum singles and dropping albums and MMg is only 5 years old but they already have more Gold albums and platinum singles than GUNiT has put out in the last 8 years.
” BadBoy is still cranking out platinum singles and dropping albums ”
1 plat single thanks to drake and a few flop albums
makes no sense. kanyes a superstar and yayos a weed carrier. would have made more sense if he said he that about banks
no, yayo’s a bricklayer.
dont insult bricklayers like that. yayo aint built for that.
he simply meant he wanted yayo and banks to be able to sustain their own careers on their own without him and to go on and start their own companies.
“When Im constantly having to face the reality of how people actually conduct themselves in business, it doesnt make any sense” Ha ha ask: Bradenton audio company #16million !
totally 100% feel 50 CENT in this article.
Get a job pig that nigga said 50 sold on 22mil worldwide lol.GRODT sold 17mill by itself pig.the massacre sold 12mill.curtis sold 4mill.the soundtrack for the movies another 3mill danm bitch
GRODT SOLD MORE PUT TOGETHER JAY 4 ALBUMS
Yet people still like the Jay albums better and play songs off there till this day.
MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice can say the same thing, but 50, Vanilla and Hammer dont have 12 platinum albums spanning 18 years in the game, overhyped buffoons don’t last in this game they just blow up really big and then fizzle out.
this guy expects those guys to kiss his ass and shit for their entire lives. those type of relationships never last.

so am I the only one who gets excited to hear new Lloyd Banks on SiriusXM? Still looking for more Yayo content? wants at least one more G-Unit album? am I the only one liking the feel of the new 50 material? they (the group members) are the only one to blame for lack of sales and where their music careers have gone. If you love to rap and want to make it a career, you must be doing it daily (or 5x a week). I don’t feel sorry for them, but do want more music!
50 even said they had to go to Banks house to pick him up and drag him to the last video shoot they did.
YAYO GOT LAZY AFTER HE GOT OUT OF JAIL YAYO WAS THE NICEST MEMBER DURING THE MIXTAPE RUN
that song off The Documentary is crazy!
yayo and buck got a new song out! buck marley killed that shit but tony is is always just going to be tony yayo.
He just released another song lol Half his album is old hat and it’s not even close to June.
hes releasing the entire album, new song with video every week until the album comes
might be smart to capitalize off the single sales for 3 months to make up for what will most likely be poor first week sales since everyone will have heard the record
“How many millions did MMG sell in the last 10 years? Or Bad Boy records?”
Different time. Plus you act like G Unit went platinum for a decade. Banks did it once then flopped. Same for Buck.
thats still once more than everyone on MMG
Even Chingy was going platinum back then, the last time GUnit saw platinum was 2007 damn near 10 years ago, Banks Yayo and Buck had succes with their debuts but then fell off.
Ross was around at that time. Why aint he go plat?
@OP 50 barley went Gold on his last album so what do you expect from Banks or Yayo?
Ross barely goes gold on every album lol
You cant blame Buck and Banks for their flops, 50 is not smart at running a record label, thats why
Teflon Don did 750,000 as album number 5 and Animal Ambition will do 150,000 as album 5.
Teflon Don was album number 4 though.
GFID did 560,000 and TD did 740,000 and Trilla did 800,000 and POM was at 860,000 back in 2009,
DTR is at 450,000 and Mastermind is at 300,000.
awesome i got wikipedia too
Yo YaYo only had one album come out tho! For real? one album? in like how many years now, Yo that aint no recording contract, of course tony yayo got a reason to be mad. One album? DAMN!!!!
If shit is that easy, Curtis come sell another 10million records in 2014…Its impossible, that era was different. Even Eminem aint doing numbers like he used to. Jay-Z stayed the same becos he understands the bizness and he gets the right people on his album(Its not like Jay use to sell like 1million copies 1st week even). Time has changed, back in the day 1million copies used to be Gold, when sales slumped they made 500k Gold. 50 sold well in the past based on a couple of factors
1. His Rap skills-His back story
2. Affiliation to Dr Dre n Eminem
3. Universal Records(Interscope Parent Company which distributes like 55% of music worldwide).Universal has close to 300 offices worldwide
4. The Era when he came out 2003
“You just slept, cuz you sold a few thousand units(sub for 10million units) in the golden era When niggas would buy anything on the shelf. But those days are through, and you are through with them”
Immortal Tech ‘Crossing the Boundary’
Revolutionary Vol. 2
2003
Immortal Technique said it best
“You just slept, cuz you sold a few thousand units(sub for 10million units) in the golden era When niggas would buy anything on the shelf. But those days are through, and you are through with them”
lolol people who quote immortal technique are always faggots!
C’mon, everybody knew when Yayo first came out that it was the first and the last time he gets a release date from a major label. The skill gap between him and other members was always noticeable, but their albums made it crystal clear. But it’s not just about that, he lack every other aspect that could make him interesting as a rapper. Weed carriers / hype mans (even if they have strong vocals) should stay in their lane.
Whatever Happened to the ‘Black Magic Album’?
scrapped it.
It was a Techno album.
“”Jayz is too mature to shit on Bleek on some gossip whore mess, Gucci Pucci been down with Rozay since the Poe Boy days back when E-Class was the biggest promoter in Miami, just like TaTa been with JayZ from day 1. 50 Cent has no more day 1s because he is a hater.”
When I first read this I wanted to react in anger and immediatley respond to let the OP know that what I read effected me so here is what I want to say. JayZ may play the high road but he isnt the best example to use due to his fallouts with Jaz-O and Dame Dash. If you want to see true loyalty then look at De La Soul and the Roots. Black Thought could have gone solo a long time ago and Pos Da Noose could have too.
Memphis Bleek has a couple Gold albums released on his own label (Get Low) so he is not just another sidekick.
Son Gohan wants to be a rapper now cuz his daddy left him when he was 11 for 7 years and now he’s back…to raise his little brother Son Goten… so much unresolved angst….
he’s still finding himself. the great saiyaman was an odd phase…
RIAA Platinum Certifications (2008-2014)
T.I
JayZ
Drake
Jeezy
Emenim
LiL Wayne
Soulja Boy
Nicki Minaj
Macklemore
Kanye West
Kendrick Lamar
3 of the rappers on that list are YMCMB and 2 of them are Aftermath and 2 of them are Roc A Fella, so its no surprise that Birdman, Dr Dre and JayZ are atop the Forbes HipHop Cash Kings list.
“thats still once more than everyone on MMG”
It’s better to be consistent and maintain a fanbase than to blow your wad off after one album.
Which MMG didn’t do.
“Ross was around at that time. Why aint he go plat?”
Port of Miami still sold over 800k. If it got certified tomorrow, nobody would question it.
I think “Port of Miami” is at 980,000, Rozay could swipe his Black Card and buy 20K digital copies but he would rather buy Audemars and Cartiers for his team. Your back catalog continues to sell as long as you continue to release music, a lot of people are like collectors and want to own your whole catalog so POM will reach a million eventually but your accomplishments are more valuable as a mogul when you say you did it without platinum vs with platinum.
Tony Yayo sold over 800k too LOL
“he would rather buy Audemars and Cartiers for his team.”
fakes ones no doubt LOL
“@richforever alias #RICKROSS caught slippin with a fake #AudemarsPiguet #RoyalOak #Offshore watch in his own music video! That crap is thrown in your face in the first few seconds of his video Veterans Day. Sub dial spacing is just terrible on 7, 5 and 8 a.k.a. 100% garbage. I have seen a lot of his other watches which are real, but with a mix tape using the AP logo you better have your collection sorted out. #PATHETIC, NOT BO$$. #BUSTED! I think Im Big Meech, look at my timepiece/Its an Audemar, hundred racks at least. – More like $20.”
Look how the game changes: T.I., Soulja Boy, Jeezy, LiL Wayne, Kanye, and Nicki didnt sell platinum with their last albums, only the crossover rappers JayZ, Em and Drake have maintained
Platinum status over the last 5 years.
no shit. which is why its funny when these niggas keep talking about how 50 is gonna flop.
Depends on what you consider a flop. The for ula for a flop changes when you are independent because you have less of a machine behind you but a larger share of the profits.
80K is a win for Joe Budden because he’s on Koch/E1/MoodMuzik but Ace Hood only doing 60k on WTB/Cashmoney with a platinum single (Bugatti) would be considered a disappointment or a flop in may peoples estimation.
50 is an international star with a WW diamond selling album so expectations are different for him and people will expect him to do numbers between Cheif Keef (250k) and French Montana (150k). Anything less would be considered a disappointment
Kanye did go platinum, although it was his slowest project to go platinum. I think I know what you’re saying though.
I was wrong, the RIAA has Yeesus certified platinum June 18th 2013.
….Gold Digger just went 5X platinum on April 10th 2014.
630k sold isn’t platinum.
RIAA certifies on shipments not albums sold
“50 is an international star with a WW diamond selling album so expectations are different for him and people will expect him to do numbers between Cheif Keef (250k) and French Montana (150k). Anything less would be considered a disappointment”
He’s releasing every song off the album as a single for sale on Itunes months before the album so I don’t expect huge sales.
Then ross’s 1st, second, and 4th albums should all be certified platinum since the units sold isn’t that far away from platinum and shipped copies are often more than those sold.
Wrong, dentalbitch. None of Ross’ shit is even close to platinum.
Ross barely goes gold on every album lol”
His first album is 20,000 away from platinum. He doesn’t even care about platinum or else he would buy the copies himself.
“His first album is 20,000 away from platinum. ”
after almost 10 years LOLOLOL
It will still go platinum.
No, it won’t.
Kanye did go platinum, although it was his slowest project to go platinum. I think I know what you’re saying though.”
No it went gold. 600k isn’t platinum son.
it’s been certified plat, 1 milli shipped.
If that’s the case, then Ross’s st, 2nd, and 4th albums should be certified platinum since copies shipped is more than what he sold.
I’m afraid it doesn’t work like that. Name of the game is SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
Theres no demand for Ross albums like there is for Kanye’s or Nickis. They’re collecting dust on the shelfs as it is.
Bruh the RIAA has the album certified as Platinum so their is no argument and the shipping argument is dead too because the labels don’t even ship like that anymore due to the popularity of digital copies and Amazon.
two aggy chics….geeez
“Black Magic was suppose to be a techno album?”
GTFOH for real? lool that would hv been a career suicide for Curtis. Its a good thing he shelved that project,Techno? WTF? Shit got me cracking up when i read that on the comments.
50 Cent says he has already started working on the follow up to his current “Before I Self Destruct” album, an album he is called “Black Magic.” The G-Unit general says he is working outside of hip-hop, perhaps some techno-type songs. “I actually recorded three songs,” Fif revealed in a recent interview. “I had this idea, I went to a nightclub, afterparty, and it was a different kind of music going on there a little while before I actually got there. You know they play your music when you come, but the music they played before, they started playing material I created, which was more uptempo, more dance. I wanted to make a song like that so I went to the studio because I’m traveling with my live band, I took the band with me and we sequenced it and recorded the actual record while I was out there. I did two of the songs I had production for and I had been writing those songs for a while so I finished them and actually recorded them while I was out hereBlack Magic project, I’m excited about it. It has a different vibe, I won’t allow myself to be placed in a box where I can only do one style or do one kind of musicIf they can understand how I enjoy different genres of music, for the people who have various tastes, they’ll really like it.”
I heard him say in a recent interview that he’s been listening to a lot of old Motown records lately for inspiration.
Phony Yayo has had one album in almost 10yrs? lol for real?
Seriously one album? He needs to sack his record label. What ever label he is signed to he needs to fire them ASAP.
At least 50 put Yayo and Banks on while he was in his prime and they got to have relatively successful retail projects.
Gunplay is 35 years old without a release date for his first studio album after standing behind Rick Ross for 10 or more years.
LOL @ TONY YAYO FIRING A RECORD LABEL
NIGGA AINT GOT NO DEAL
There is a video on YouTube of a Pre-beard Rozay with Gunplay on stage at a hole in the wall club rocking onstage circa 1998, Gunplay was by Rozay side in his first music video w/ Trina.
Ross got Gunplay a group deal with Def Jam (Triple C’s) and a solo deal with Def Jam.
Gunplay has been on 3 Ross albums and 3 Self Made compilations, he let addiction and court cases interfere with his career but he has his own company now and hes getting his merchandise game up so he wont be a leech like Yayo.
GUNPLAY IS A DRUG ADDICT… REMEMBER THAT DRUG ADDICTS END UP FUCKING OFF THEY WHOLE CAREER
Niggas defending Gunplay for being a career weed carrier LOL.
50 put off releasing his second album in his prime to put his niggas on. Ross released a weak ass Triple Cs album that sold like 10K after talking a whole lot of shit!
As for Gunplay creating his brand and his merchandise game to not be a leach like Yayo, the crackhead still wont make 10% if what Yayo made touring with 50. HAH.

Do you realize how pathetic that is… thats even worse, since 1998, holy shit. get a fucking job man, he could make more money as a wing stop manager, its fucking 2014 and hes not getting any younger. ross failed his homeboys to sign random niggas like meek and wale.
“Look how the game changes:”
^ yep
it’s changed so much that I still see the same comments about 50 Cent than when I first saw them in 2006
Lucky bastard I envy your memory, I cant remember these comments the minute I leave them let alone 8 years later.
8 years dawg, the same “snitch”, g-unot, “irrelevant”, praying for the downfall comments
pretty sure they all ain’t from the same people but it shows the parrot mentality they share
“Lucky bastard I envy your memory, I cant remember these comments the minute I leave them let alone 8 years later.”
Bruthadee, thats because you have literally left 100 000+ comments about 50 Cent alone! shit dog you had like 50k posts on the forums before you got banned for being a racist troll groupie! LOL
who da f-ck is this bruthadee y’all talking about & what forum?
he sounds like that Casket Face cat on Nahright
confirm?
“8 years dawg, the same “snitch”, g-unot, “irrelevant”, praying for the downfall comments
pretty sure they all ain’t from the same people but it shows the parrot mentality they share”
Its not exclusive to one artist, people have been calling LiL Wayne “homo” “poser” and “washed up” every since Rebirth dropped. Just add on with insightful trivia and ignore the Trolls who seek out your attention.
No theres one guy who hates extra hard, he been doin it for years. He writes essays about how much of a crab 50 cent is and how much of a terrible business man he is. You can always tell its the same bitter buy because he cant help but bring up white people.
We call him Bruthadee. Hes been exposed as a 40 some year old black nerd who spends all day everyday cheerleading for Rick Ross and his artists!
^ How did you find out it’s a 40 year old black man
IP address,User Agent,Mac Address, or the NSA ?
Brotha Dee, or whatever his made up name is,is most probably a white 30+ lonely troll
You know the ones who infest the race baiting articles with hate whenever HHDX needs to increase their click through rate with non relevant Lord Jamar race baiting tweets
Tony Yayo – Devil’s Advocate ft Young Buck
“Gunplay is 35 years old without a release date for his first studio album after standing behind Rick Ross for 10 or more years”
Obviously the album sucks ass or else it would have come out already. Give Ross credit for trying to spare his drug addict friend’s feelings.
sure lets give him credit but give 50 cent credit for putting his niggas on and cashing the fuck in when he was hot. he could have put out the massacre before that g-unit album.
“Ross barely goes gold on every album lol”
Port of Miami has sold over 800k. Trilla did over 600k.
But they’re not platinum.
Yeezus only did 600k yet its as platinum. Port of miami sold 980k and its only gold? IF you’re gonna hate, get your facts right.
kanye has multiple plat albums either way, ross not so much so he his fans gotta cling to whatever they can
“Port of Miami has sold over 800k”
^ yet the clown is running around talking about 20k more for platinum here @ HHDX
and dudes are out there reciting the same misinformation to their friends while the truth and facts get shunned as hate
Daaamn homie, you really seem to think about Yayo a lot, homie
He was asked a question. Thats usually how it goes in interviews. You would know if you ever got a job.
Ahh Curtis, throwin’ former friends under the bus to deflect from the fact that he hasnt put out a good album since Get Rich and that he, well, isn’t relevant at all anymore. Keep up the bullshit Curtis. No one’s buying it, or your shitty headphones.
“Port of miami sold 980k and its only gold? IF you’re gonna hate, get your facts right.”
^ this is what I’m saying
y’all on some let them troll because they just acting stupid but there are kids & people out of the loop who believe this bullsh*t, especially when the asshole constantly posts it and no one disputes it
Port Of Miami @ 857k
“around 800k” was that outdated wiki page that has it still in the 7’s
teeth-boy deceiving in the savage pursuit of a response
I’m one of the most insightful people here
“Im tired of this shitty rapper hatin on everybody”
50 will hate u unless you’re white (ask Marshall/Jimmy Iovine)
he hated on jimmy a bunch of times
Did Fif just compare himself to Hov? he doesnt have ONE ALBUM in his catalog that can top Blueprint or Black Album!!!
I’m sorry ?… Was “Get Rich or Die Tryin'” a mixtape, or ?…
what say you bruthadee?
see, I ain’t him, I show how our chi is turned off on the regular
many may not like what I say but I make you think
I type in mirror check

“Niggas defending Gunplay for being a career weed carrier LOL.”
People pick up phrases and slang words and use them out of context, especially online. We used to call the hanger-ons in the crew “weed carriers” because they were unsigned guys in the entourage that werent involved in the music process. I dont know if its an attention thing or ignorance.
you hold rick ross french fries
Both. Gunplay had a crazy verse on Long Live ASAP and bodied Wayne on IANAHB2. but even more important he has 40 working titles in his publishing catalog and his own imprint, I try to stress to these rappers/producers how important it is to have your papers in order but they hardheaded.
what good in an imprint if you never get a release
“But they’re not platinum”
True, but they don’t need to be.
“They’re collecting dust on the shelfs as it is”
You mean like (3) 50 Cent albums now $5.99 on ITunes.
“but give 50 cent credit for putting his niggas on and cashing the fuck in when he was hot. he could have put out the massacre before that g-unit album”
But that was at a time when CD’s were flying off shelves. G Unit success was inevitable. MMG has done all this with low sales, bad WOM, and bootlegging. It may be easier to praise the niggaz that went platinum, but I’ll buck the trend and praise the niggaz who parlayed their dreams all by going gold.
straight hater shit
Only a fool would have dropped the Massacre before the G Unit album, you out out the Gunit album and you set up solo albums from Yayo and Banks to make you even more money since they are signed to your label fool.
Never take 50Crnts advice on running a label, look at the careers of his artists right now they went and signed with Koch/E1 just to eat. That label is dead.
hows your label doing?
