50 Cent recently confirmed signing DJ Pauly D to his imprint G-Note Records, a move that he says came about after the Jersey Shore star began shopping deals at different labels. Speaking with RollingStone.com, Fif explained how he inked the deal with Pauly and what he plans to accomplish with the reality star.
“When Pauly came by to see me, they had options,” he said. “They had several places that they were going, and people that were interested in doing a deal with him. Obviously, the momentum from Jersey Shore was spun off into him being the first one to have his own independent series. They’re moving places and DJing in front of bigger audiences, and getting ready to make moves internationally, where the DJ is the star, overseas. When I sat with him, I saw the opportunities we could have moving forward, with brand extension and packaging the music.”
Referring to him as a mix of DJ Drama, DJ Khaled and David Guetta, the G-Unit general also reflected on how the industry has changed over the years and how major labels aren’t providing the backing they should.
“I don’t think they’re taking into account the marketing dollars it takes to be a superstar,” he said. “To be a recognizable talent as an artist, within a community of a whole lot of artists, sure, you can do that on your own. But when you move into different tiers, there’s still a benefit to majors. But this is from someone who’s already established themselves – the new guy might want to take a shot on his own and see what happens.”
50 pimpin white boys now

Lloyd Banks is still on G-Unit, you fucking idiot, he’s just not signed to the same label as them, SAME WITH YAYO. You say Lloyd Banks isn’t lyrical and Yayo is? Kill yourself.
50 has no pride whatsoever
lmaoooooo…all I gotta say.
lol fuck what so icy boi saying.. g unit is wack.. they’ve been wack.
fat boys & wiggers hate on mah opinion. da new unit is an unstoppable combo. Shawty Lo as Malcolm X, 50 Cent as Martin Luther King Jr., DJ Pauly D as Freddie Mercury, Tony Yayo as Martin Luther King Sr…. dis niggas legendz. swag
lol legends? fuck that shit again. you stay making no sense my dood.
SO ICY BOI ANY CHANCE YOU COULD MOT ME OUT
…..
Pauly D is the new Freddie Mercury?
Do you even know what you’re saying?
And a whole new “Breed” of Trolls is Born.
The old G-unit will always be better than all the new wack artists they have like Shawty Lo and Hot Rod.
this guy is real popular except with a select few hip hop kids that dont understand business
“He’s a mix of DJ Drama, Khaled, David Guetta”, well if that’s true then I’m not even going to try and listen to him.
This is a total sham. Pauly D isn’t real. He’s 30 years old trying to pass himself off as some college kid. Stick to Jersey Shore. That’s where the money is. Once he takes himself too seriously, all this will be gone.
Im 27 you fucking chode !
No pauly, UR 30!! Now shut the fuck up u old geezer. Nico 3 is on point with his comment. U are trying to stay young instead of accepting the fact that ur too old for the shit u do. Hang it up fool
…31
Actually hes 31
What’s the difference between DJ Drama and DJ Khaled?
what the hell is a guido? haha. and G-Note? why would anyone sign DJ Pauly D, might as well sign Mike for his comedy too.
pauly d is def the funniest one of the jersey shore cast. hopefully he makes quality music, but i doubt it.
again i dont know what pauly d has done to get so much hate….has he kissed men on the lips?…has he sported any girl cloths?..has he singed like a biotch on a track?..has he lied about his past?…i think your hate is misdirected
He’s just corny, you dont have to do all that to suck, there are many ways to suck
How can you compare David Guetta to Pauly D you dumbass. Guetta is a legend in the dance scene and pauly has totally no skillz.
FUCK GUIDO UNIT
