As one of the headlining acts at the upcoming Summer Jam music festival, Queens rapper 50 Cent was recently asked about the likeliness of a G-Unit reunion at Summer Jam. While speaking with Hot 97 personality Funkmaster Flex, 50 didn’t shoot down the possibility of a reunion, but revealed that his fellow G-Unit members would have to put in a lot of work in order for such a feat to happen.
“There’s a possibility for us to do things, but they gotta get themselves together…I think it’s the work,” he said.
50 Cent later stated that he was even questioned about his upcoming Summer Jam performance by fellow lyricist Nas. He says that prior to watching the Queensbridge emcee at rehearsals for his Illmatic anniversary show at New York’s Beacon Theatre earlier this month, he talked to him over the phone about Summer Jam.
“We good. I went to see him,” 50 Cent said when asked about Nas. “He was in New York recently at The Beacon Theatre…It was the 20th anniversary of Illmatic. I didn’t go to the concert. I went to see him ahead of the concert when he was actually doing his rehearsals and stuff. He called earlier that week…He was just saying ‘I know you got something crazy planned. I just gotta make sure we in the loop. We know what’s going on.’”
The G-Unit helmsman also discussed his fallout with Interscope Records head Jimmy Iovine. According to 50 Cent, the disconnect may have happened when Iovine revealed that he didn’t like him.
“Me and Jimmy, I don’t even know where the disconnect happened,” the rapper said. “I know where my actual issues with him were created from…We had a communication. We speak to each other and he expressed that he didn’t like me…It stems for his passion for Beats. When he sees me with SMS. And you know what I didn’t understand was because I had things in the past. Exact things we could make comparisons to. Like Phat Farm. Russell Simmons when he had Phat Farm he didn’t tell us to not have Sean John, Rocawear, or G-Unit…They didn’t come right away when I’m the guy to come to right away. Like Em’s deal with Beats happened during his last album. They did the deal with him when they were sure that they were getting ready to spend marketing dollars on it to promote that next album. And that’s why you see Beats in every video that he created.”
After spending 12 years at Interscope Records, Aftermath Entertainment, and Shady Records, 50 Cent announced his departure from those labels in February of this year. The rapper is now slated to release his next studio album, Animal Ambition through a new agreement with Caroline/Capitol/UMG.

Hip Hop needs this.
Just imagine 50 bringing out Banks Yayo and Buck and then Nas comes out OMG
Bring out Lox and Fat Joe and that would be crazy.
and Kidd Kidd!… oh wait.. my bad
How could I forget Mobb Deep and M.O.P.!
This was another great interview. He went on for over an hour with Flex and really broke down what happened with Banks and why they stopped talking. I didn’t know he wrote songs for LL Cool J and Diddy before his deal with Em.
I thought Nas hated 50 whats he doing callin him up and having him out as his rehearsals?
Yo them niggas that wanted beef before
Don’t want no beef no mo
Now that they know who I rep with
QB NIGGA!!!
Who I rep with
QB NIGGA!!! (repeat)
Hats off, to da rich ones who flash and floss
Pour some liquors out to my dogs trapped up north
Reminisce on the deceased who no longer exist
Only wishin’ we could bring them back with songs like dis
Old flicks on us chillin’ wit da old time click
Holdin’ nines, thoughts of death, not our lives we risk
How it use to be, early morn, pumpin’ in shifts
Jakes wit pale faces in the night is the scariest
They handcuff me, they knew my government and alias
Various calls were made up for awarin’ us
The D’s in the marked vans and cabs
In our land, hoodrats get stapped by niggas who forty
Turnin’ out young lady’s and make them make thotties
Got them coked out, the hood is bugged out
Thug babies, famous in they strollers
Before they walk they knew the hood talk
It’s in the air of New York
So everybody’ll pick em up, kissin em up
Treatin’ them like they own, in dis hood we call home
Fist fight till we grown and these guns come out
Circle of life, it’s kinda deep how we end out
Ya’ll niggas better sober up before ya’ll speak to me, don’t come at me high
Last rapper that raised his voice to me, got jabbed in da eye
Now if I say I’m gone get you, I’mma get ya
On da strength of da inf, from long range I can hit ya
You find out them niggas who wit ya ain’t even wit ya
After da gem stars split ya, you need an MD to stitch ya
Peep how I use words to paint pictures
Peep how I got niggas with bodies askin’ me for ten cents to got hit ya
Look my name up in the law book, Curtis Jackson
Known for creatin’ action, by rapidly clappin’
Nigga I stay strapped, so much I nickname gats
Got a tech I call Tina, a nine I name Nina
Two niggas went to see Allah afta they seen her
This QB shit, bout to take me to da next level
Next crib, next Benz, next bitch, next bezel
It’s that real
Yo, aiyyo, who da fuck wanna war
I got a four four, pierce ya’ll niggas jaw
You see me thugged out, iced out, Guinness Stout
Hopin’ out the Range wit da gun out
Smack your man down, you ran off
I was gonna hit him with two, I left some for you
I put four, QB rugged and raw
I got somethin’ for these rap cats, fish held back gats
Scope wit a beam on it, loc put your cream on it
Shine don’t scheme on it, I make your dream about it
Forever, whatever whatever get gully
Shots thru your leather and clothe, With your skelly off
Break ya’ll clowns off
Yo hollow tips will flood your jacket, I don’t give a fuck who you be
Millennium Thug, now who da fuck want it with me
Can’t touch this
I mastered the art of slap boxin’ niggas in da dark
QB’s big man, Horse of the Bravehearts
I’m da Sasquash of rap, collector of gats
Testin’ macks at your bulletproof vests and hats
How bout that, guns bust off, I bust back
When trucks backfire, I bust back
How bout that, stomp a muhfuckin’ rib out ur back
Ya’ll niggas ain’t gangsta rap, ya’ll click like Josey and the Pussycats
When we come around da front, stop
Uh huh, ya’ll can’t fuck around ya’ll get dropped
When guns pop, who’s tellin’
Twin barrel nines wavin’ and yellin’, QB NIGGA WHAT
Two-time felon, straight to da melon, straight to da dome
Send a nigga back, get da shells, go straight home
Never slip, my +Ill Will+ to survive is so deep
Can’t sleep, cousin to death, makes me weak
Pullin’ triggers at my shadow, Bravehearts pop up
Wiz, Jungle and Horse shot your block up
who gives a fuck what 50 says bitch ass
you apparently
There is going to be a lot of cranky white nerdy teens from Montana if this reunion doesn’t go down. I might buy a ticket to Summer Jam just so I can watch them cry into their mayonnaise sandwiches and G-Unit tanktops when Fiddy’s surprise guest is revealed to be Kidd Kidd.
Oh cmon, Summer Jam is like 85% black people in the audience
ROTFLMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lolol @ kidd kidd being the surprise
Max aka @BruthaDee, I’m sorry that me and The Untouchable MMG won’t be at Summer Jam. We booked 4 da whole summer. We ’bout 2 tour and do shows at every Wingstop across da country… BAWSE! FREE GUNPLAY’S CHAIN! WE DA BEST!
ja rule aint gonna let this happen
IN CASE YOU AINT NOTICED ITS A QUEENS THING
Glad that Nas could finally get over his jealousy of 50 Cent and be a man.
yeah but 50’s jealous of ja rule, and nas is jealous of 50, so ja rule is the Queens king who rules over this rap game.
his power level is so fuckin high he could abduct any rap nigga, frame him and send him to jail
Is Ja really from Queens? I never hear him mentioned amongst rappers from Queens in discussion.
^^^^^ I’ve never heard him being mention in a rap discussion period
seriously. 50 wasn’t even born when Nas’ first 5 albums came out
wasn’t even born? they’re 2 years apart! when nas was looking out his window writing his lil rhymes he was watching real niggas like curtis gettin it in on the streets of queens.
They say Jada defeated him
Joe too street for him
What’s next? I guess it’s for Nas to ether him
Ya’ll awaiting an MC burial
This is ethereal, FM stereo to XM radio
What does it mean, ethereal? Hmm.. either heavenly or spiritual
Extreme, delicately light in a way that seems too perfect for this world
Man that is righteous, faithful and keeps law
Will surely live declares the sovereign Lord
And you are none of the above
So you a sucka for death if I’m a sucka for love
And ya wanna know why I don’t got an answer niggas
Cause I truely understand these niggas
Scared of me so they talk about family members
Like I can’t point out your grandma to niggaz
Damn you was my man like crew dawg
Don’t make me change your body frame to blue fog
The Q is the borrow of true dons
Any disrespect nigga we chose arms
Will it be gilmore or crowes?
LOL…BACKTRACK 2014!!!
THINK BEFORE U SPEAK NEXT TIME POPS…AND MEAN WHAT U SAY
NI44AS BE BACKTRACKING THAN MICHEAL JACKSON.
Nas trying to make up wit 50 so he can be apart of history.
summer jam nas/50 too hot AHH ITS GONNA BE CRAZY
IF THEY DO THAT TRACK IT WILL SHUT NYC DOWN
Nas and 50 gonna put Diddy on that summer jam screen. ether part 2.
Anyone got a G-Unit tee I can buy? My wife threw mine out 5 years ago.
lol this nigga
forbes remix 123:\f/jay/diddy
too hot feat:nas
free again feat:fat joe
more will be leaked
I think it’s cool seeing that Nas and 50 might be on good terms again. Who would’ve thought their beef would start over a J. Lo song? Lol.
He was just saying I know you got something crazy planned. I just gotta make sure we in the loop. We know whats going on.
What do you think Nas is reffering to when he says CRAZY planned..We know whats going on..???
Sounds like 50 about to do some unexpected shit.
I been having this feeling like NEW YORK needs to get back on the map and the only way to do it is for the legends to lead the way.. NExt thing you know 50 got a song with fat joe… all sudden 50 with LOX all sudden 50 talkin to Nas….
WE ABOUT TO SEE NEW YORK HIP HOP STAND UP AS ONE!!!! LETS Bring this music Vibe back to where it belongs.
Wu Tang X Nas X Jay-Z X The Lox X DMX X Dipset X G-Unit all sing kumbaya around a campfire to close out summer jam.
I hope Nas disses him on stage like he has done in the past.
Banks and Yayo will be paid to perform but nobody will really care.
Nas is legend but this Summerjam is all about Wayne and Nicky bringing out Drake
Imagine a kooon so stupid that thry dont see SMS as stepping on BEATS toes, no wonder the label failed.
Nas is a mature grown man so he’s not going to diss someone on stage after calling him up, being all friendly with him and having him at his rehearsal.
50 Cent is a legend so this Summer Jam is all about him closing out the show and bringing out Tony Yayo and Biggie’s hologram.
nobody will care about banks? ur a fkn idiot banks has a huge underground following, mainstream sheep like urself won’t care but best believe Banks stay droppin heat with mixtapes and his FNO tape he dropped in october is nothin but fire. dont talk like u know shit about real hiphop, jus cuz banks aint on mtv and interviews like 50 dont mean he aint working or got fans. do ur homework before u talk dumb shit
No one gives a fuck bout banks n yayo being there maybe if buck n game hopped on stage people would be kinda interested but that game shit is never gonna happen. 50 Fucked up his own shit by shitting on the hood that ayo technology single n just being a rich asshole for too long.
Its crazy too cause all the music I heard off this new animal ambition album has been dope as fuck but people aint checking for 50 no more the album is never going gold in the states and aint gon do more than 70 thousand first week. I don’t care bout numbers myself cause the 3 best albums this year aint sold shit Freddie Gibbs Pinata Pharoh Monch PTSD and Styles P Phantom and the Ghost but 50 has made such a big deal bout how much you sell since he came out that people cant wait to shit on him for doing such lame numbers
holy run on sentence batman.
grammar asshole. learn how to use it.
lmao at the nerdy fuck-boys who need a dot to know when to stop just read u retards it aint a fuckin English class
50 cent said in this interview that he told banks one time “u need me for your records i dont need u on mine, i dont need u.” man as much as i used to follow 50 cent its so fucked up how 50 thinks about the people around him. that attitude that he doesn’t need anyone is why he’s blackballed himself in the industry. banks has always been the best spitter in gunit and im sure banks got tired of sittin in gunit interviews with 50 always runnin his fkn mouth. Banks FNO mixtape shits on 50’s animal ambition garbage and after listening to this interview im so sick of 50 spittin out dirty laundry about banks, yayo and anyone he can think of. 50 is so full of himself he constantly shits on the people that were closest to him, and now what who he gonna bring out in summer jam? who the lox? fat joe? nas? so what all those niggas would do it jus to get on the summer jam stage they aint really rockin with 50. im sorry but after listening to this interview 50 jus lost a fan.
What he should plan on doing is make a smash hit record.
Its good to hear he and Nas on good terms.
That’s fantastic. Now maybe they can form the group, BBB Boring Unit and really shake the world up.
HE SAID BANKS HAS LAZY LLOYD TATTED ON HIS ARM
“I told Puff Ma$e ain’t worth 2 million with 2 million in his pocket”
JIMMY PROLLY DIDN’T LIKE 50 BECAUSE OF 50’S ARROGANCE ALSO SHEEK LOUCH DESTROYED 50’S CAREER AND ANIMAL AMBITION GONNA BE STR8 TRASH. 50 IF YOU READ THIS COMMENT HANG IT UP, IT’S A WRAP, OVER FOR YOU BUDDY. YOU FAILED D-BLOCK WINS
YOUTUBE.COM/DEADLYX
no jimmy didn’t like 50 because he didn’t want to stay in his place and just be a rapper
D-Block kilt the unit after sheek n the ghost ripped them apart the unit couldn’t say shit except we got more money lmao that don’t mean shit as an mc and it don’t mean shit in the streets they got bodied
“HANG IT UP, IT’S A WRAP, OVER FOR YOU BUDDY. YOU FAILED D-BLOCK WINS”
How you kill a nigga then ask him to get on your song like Jadakiss did? Then the whole crew gets on his album?
Ja rule is the greatest lyricist in the face of the earth.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, piss off.
If i was Banks or Yayo every time I read some shit like this Theres a possibility for us to do things, but they gotta get themselves togetherI think its the work, he said.
it would make me so fucking mad. bcuz you know what they aren’t? almost billionaires like sir 50 is; he can afford to “do more work” for G-Unit, Banks and Yayo can’t. This was their group their clique their music and 50 just goes eh YOU guys are too lazy. Sorry. And now a reunion? I would tell 50 okay yeah sure we will be there, make his bitch ass advertise it everywhere, and then not show up.
They need the money and exposure more than 50.
Neither Banks or Yayo is broke. Both of them have more than enough money and exposure to create their own buzz, their just lazy and feel entitled… Your as ungrateful as they are
“no jimmy didn’t like 50 because he didn’t want to stay in his place and just be a rapper”
But that’s exactly what he was. All 50 had to do to get in good with Jimmy for the long haul was to grow G Unit, and expand the label. Everything else would have just happened. When your ego gets out of control that’s when you feel you can do anything, and naturally the guy cutting the checks isn’t going to like the idea of you wanting to be bigger than he is.
I’m sorry that me and The Untouchable MMG won’t be at Summer Jam. We booked 4 da whole summer. We ’bout 2 tour and do shows at every Wingstop across da country… BAWSE! FREE GUNPLAY’S CHAIN! WE DA BEST!
Help me get Masterplan to go platinum, and I’ll hook errebody up wit a free meal voucher at yo local Wingstop.. BAWSE!
I actually get to be on the actual Summer Jam stage now that my carrer is irrelevant and the almighty G Unit records no longer exists to the general public. My new album wont outsell French MontNa but my dickriders say sales dont matter anymore.
G G G G Unit!!!
his new album will definitely sell more than French Montana, quote me on that.
“their just lazy and feel entitled”
Banks has put in plenty of work. Yayo, not so much, but being lazy and dealing with the reality that new deals are hard to come by, are two entirely different things.
plenty of work into a free mixtape that makes no one money.
“plenty of work into a free mixtape that makes no one money”
I was referring to 3 studio albums.
Ross got back Gunplay’s chain long ago.
how? didn’t happen.
IT’S OVER FOR YOU 50 CENT HANG IT UP BUDDY IT’S A WRAP!! SHEEK LOUCH FROM D-BLOCK SHUT YOUR CAREER DOWN. SHOUT OUT TO BANKS AND BUCK THOUGH. GAYO IS IRRELEVANT…
same Sheek I heard shouting out 50 on the radio last month?
Ross and crew ran up in 50’s crib with H&K’s and forced Kurtis to hand over Gunplay’s chain, plus 5k for pain and suffering.
THAT’S TRUE AND 50 PISSED HIMSELF WHEN THEY PUT THE GUN TO HIS HEAD
