Exclusive: G Unit Ain’t No Click, Part I
The same folks who were in your corner now await your demise. This has been the story of G Unit, 50 Cent’s close-knit crew from the slums of New York City that transformed a tireless mixtape hustle to a multi-million dollar franchise. But regardless of the hate, the collective has no intentions of easing up on the competition. G Unit plays to win.
With Lloyd Banks, who made G Unit Records’ first solo release, officially restarting G Unit’s rotation with Rotten Apple (October 10, 2006), Vibe.com celebrates significant chapters of the group’s past in the first of a week crammed with features. Screw Jordan; G Unit is the New York Yankees of Hip Hop.
IT WAS ALL A DREAM…
April 30, 2002 is a date that Lloyd Banks will never forget. Not only was it Banks’ 20th birthday, but G Unit officially dropped 50 Cent is the Future, the faction’s first street album. With its red, white and blue color scheme, the 16-track mixtape was more collector’s item than typical mix CD. It featured 50 Cent, Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks injecting a bit of Southside Queens into hits by everyone from Mobb Deep to Raphael Saadiq, making the transformations grittier, and often times better, than the originals.
“We’re from the street, but we know what’s on the radio,” recalls Banks of their mind set. “We know what y’all want to hear. But we’re going to do it our own way.”
The approach worked, and G Unit’s stream of mixtapes had teens and old heads alike shouting G Unit’s signature call throughout the streets. Hoods all through New York City were unequivocally rooting for the home team.
“It was kind of like living a dream,” Banks remembers of G Unit’s early days. “Everybody who you’re trying to impress your whole life is right there in your neighborhood… I had all the fame without the finances.”
G-UNIT BLOWS, YAYO GETS REPLACED?
The mixtape grind led to big payoffs for 50 and his crew when a certain white rapper from Detroit heard the gang’s first CD. After Eminem signed 50 to the historic, million-dollar deal with Shady Records, Yayo and Banks hopped on the tour bus with their leader, getting shine from city to city. “I’m seeing people all over the South, the Midwest, everywhere, going crazy for our shit,” says Banks. “That’s when I really knew that we could really take this to a worldwide thing and really market ourselves to be the best.”
But just as 50’s hypemen were scratching the surface of stardom, Yayo was bagged for criminal possession of a weapon. Suddenly the trio was down to two. “It was a crazy situation because Yayo left right at the time when we started signing autographs,” says Banks. “It kind of left me out there.”
The triangle offense was restored when Young Buck, who was formerly signed to Juvenile’s UTP Records, stepped in. Many thought Buck was Yayo’s replacement, but the Nashville-bred rapper had been waiting in the wing since day one, when G Unit and UTP linked up to record “A Lil’ Bit of Everything,” which appears on 50 Cent is the Future. “When I first met 50, I was actually on the bus with Juve playing a record for Banks,” says Young Buck. “I actually sold that record to 50 and then he did his twist to it and made it what it is… it ended up being ‘Bloodhound’ on Get Rich or Die Trying.”
“[50 Cent] was just telling me, ‘Just give me a minute and everything is gon’ work out. I’ma come back and get you,’” Buck continues. Luckily for G Unit’s southern lyricist, 50 kept his word. What initially seemed like an awkward fit to many eventually developed into an unquestionable synergy and in Nov. 2003, the group released Beg For Mercy, which went on to sell more than two million copies in the United States, according to Soundscan.
WHAT GOES UP…
The G Unit brand has only expanded since Beg For Mercy, venturing into a diversity of markets and adding several artists to the roster. Mid-’90s alums Mobb Deep and M.O.P. joined the crew as well as Queens songbird Olivia and new jacks Spider Loc and Young Hot Rod. As for 50’s botched draft picks, former Aftermath benchwarmer The Game played for 50’s squadron before a much-publicized fall out, which 50 has attributed to Game’s disloyalty and hardheadedness. And although, Fif’ has taken an ‘L’ for the paperwork battle with Diddy to sign Mase, he’s developed cross-promotional deals with the likes of Freeway, Lil’ Scrappy and LL Cool J.
Despite the many additions to the crew, it seems that all is not well in 50’s army. After every album released on G Unit Records saw at least platinum-selling success—including solos from Banks, Buck and The Game—Yayo’s Thoughts of a Predicate Felon and Mobb Deep’s Blood Money have failed to follow suit, pushing about 500,000 and 260,000 copies in the U.S., respectively. But G Unit members are unfazed by the so-called turning of the tide.
“We were happy with what we did,” says Prodigy of Mobb Deep. “I’m not even disappointed with our sales. If you look at our career… these are the numbers that we do.” But the same can’t be said for Banks, whose debut album The Hunger For More sold 1.5 million copies in the U.S. After two singles, it’s follow up, Rotten Apple, sits at about 279,283 copies sold to date.
“We created this monster,” Banks says. “The fact that you expect everybody on G Unit to have the same success just shows how much people respect the approach we had.”
“There ain’t no record label that the people demand that every artist make a platinum debut outside of G Unit,” Banks continues. “But in all reality, there was a time when a gold album was a platinum album.”
THE LEGACY
Say what you want about 50 Cent’s platoon but its winning streak is undeniable. However, with the immense success, whispers that the artists are hood sellouts are shared among loyalists. Banks assures that the artists will always embrace their roots.
“It takes a lot more than a few years for you to forget the grind and remember when it was seven of us in a Dodge Caravan with no A/C with seven pistols and seven vests on,” says Banks. “We always flashback to that. At the end of the day that’s where we come from.”
And with forthcoming projects from Buck and Hot Rod on the horizon, the group’s wheels show no sign of stalling. “Our team is so strong, it doesn’t matter what the fans say, it doesn’t matter what Soundscan says, it really doesn’t matter what anybody says,” Prodigy boasts. “We know the strength we got and we’re using it.”
Years down the line, after all the plaques, tours and performances, Young Buck is certain of where G Unit will fall in hip hop history. “There’s never been a group that’s been successful where every individual artist had success,” says Buck. “In a sense, we’re early legends.”

G-UNOT says:
First off, G-Unit is a f**kin joke. I'll admitt, 50's, Banks and Young Bucks debut albums all did well, but since then they have fallen off the map with the exception of 50. I liked 50's first album, but i dont think it was as good as The Documentary and The Masacure sucked dick. G-Unit is ruining rap music today, its all the same shit. I think part of the reason why G-Unit flopped this year has a little to do with the Game because lets be honest, he killed G-Unit on all his mixtapes. For all of u who still sport this Faggot ass hip hop group, u obviously dont appreciate good rap music. The Game is one of the hottest rappers out and actually has the balls to break off from G-Unit instead of taking a backseat to everything 50 says like YOYO, Bucks and banks. I mean lets be honest, no G-Unit artist will ever outsell 50 Cent because he wont let it happen. No matter what, he gets the best beats from the best producers with the best features over any other artist on G-UNIT. So f**k 50 and G-Unit.

Wow, this must be dickriding central up in here. Do you all really think
that G-Unit's going to be around for a long time? If the failures of Yayo, Mobb Deep, Banks, Olivia and 50's movie aren't indicators then you're all in serious denial. 50 and G-Unit are going to end up like Ja Rule and Murder Inc, I bet you.
As for the people at Vibe Magazine, I'm beginning to notice the preferential treatment you're giving 50 and G-Unit due mostly to the barbs you've made at Ja Rule, Jada and the Game. Are you all on their payroll or something? I mean I'd expect this from that dickriding publication XXL but not from you guys.When are you gonna see that 50 is a pussy ass rapper?
I hope that real VIBE magazine that I grew up with returns and the groupie ass fanbase that is currently in charge leaves real soon. And for the last time everyone, 50 ain't Pac and will never be!

Ton Loc says:
All right all you haterz, here we go....let me start off with saying that iam a 50 cent fan and the game fan, all of these other niggas on g-unit aren't the greatest. you look at lloyd banks...he is one of the crappiest m.c.'s in the game right now, the way i see it is.....if you cant tell a story in your rhymes you aint a rapper. buck does have some talent and he is the only one with 50 cent that will do anything in album sales with g-unit this year, watch and see. if you want to include lil scrappy into this we can, he is ok as well, his album was actually not that bad, his album was over exposed i think, everyone thought it would be great because he had the best of both worlds behind him...50 and Lil Jon. You guys should all listen to that Mase mixtape, there was major potential there, even though i think Mase should of not been so much of a Hypocrite, meaning that he should of either stuck to preaching or stuck to rapping, you cant just go back with the name "murda" in your name after you have been a preacher this whole time. Mase decided not to sign with 50 for some odd reason, even 50 doesnt know why. Mobb Deep is crap, has always been crap and always will be crap, just because they have been around for a very long time, doesnt make them legends. prodigy is one of the worst rappers there is. the only one in talent with Mobb Deep is Havoc, he has major talent as a producer, thats it. The game has talent, dont get me wrong, but there are so many more mc's in the west coast that are so much better. Check out Dre'sta da Gangsta, he is the best from the west coast. old school nigga from the eazy e days, he got bone thugs their deal and he was on the song Real Motha f**kin G's with eazy e. his brother, B.G. Knocc Out just got out after serving a 9 year sentence and they will put out the craziest album ever, just watch and see, check them out on myspace. B.G. has recorded a few songs with Spider Loc, so who knows, G-Unit might pick them up. that would be the best 2 artists 50 has ever signed, hands down. dont ask me what got me started on those 2, one just has to tell other niggas about them i guess, they are so underground, iam sure most of you dont know who they are. the doctors advocate was a good album, but Game does need to stop trying to act like such a gangsta, he has never been one, that was all his brother, not him. nigga has no hood stripes and he needs to take that tear drop off of his face. the game didnt bring g-unit down, the artists did it to them self, it just proves that you have have the best beats on your album, Dr. Dre on there and if you ain't a good mc, you aint gonna do shit. g-unit wouldnt be so big if it wasnt for 50 and the clothing line, take those 2 away and what the f--- is g-unit? i rest my case. peace out. oh...and if any rappers are reading this.....niggas....stop claiming you a d-boy, when the only coke you ever touched is the soda. bunch of d-boy wannabes, u make me sick. iam out.

G-Unit says:
What kinds of motherf***ers are you´re all got damn here are only dickrider/Sticks/stans. The haters tell G-Unit fell down got damn G-Unit sell in 4 years 45 milliom album. what the f**k you all say. Looks game album he sell in 2 month 800k in USA he said he would sell in the first week 1mill, he sold in the first week 350k. He called his album Doctor´s Avocate but where is the doc not on the album, the doc produced 3 tracks in buck´s album, the doc is on the g-unit side. Game dissed the g-unit over 1 year he has a g-unot tatoo on his arm and hear the album man shit lycris like One Blood in the hook the guy scream One Blood One Blood but where is the Blood the Game aint a blood or crip he was never in the gang i can prove this, The Game cant writes Hook´s like Strip Club the beat is good but the lycirs are the same Dr. Dre, Aftermath, Blood/Crip, Compton, N.W.A. Eazy E they are the same every song. As he make the One Blood remix wiht the 24 idiots rappers he askd 50 for helped got damn he dissed the him over 1 year 300 bars 360 240 bars ..... and he asked him to help. What the f**k. Whatch games sales in 2 month he aint went platinum worlwide. Eminem drop a mixtape/album in the album came 3 weeks later out and Em sold more.
The Game is a good rapper he has Talent but he destroy his Talent with 2 much hating. Why he goes from the g-unit he aint loyal damn. The Deal was with 50 and DRE or nobody see the first album with both sold 5mill and the second album without them he aint went Plat.

dude, listen. Jay said it best "women lie, men lie, numbers dont lie". The Brother (50) not only made a way for him and his to eat, but he has provided others a way to eat. I love the trickel down effect that Dre has provided. He put on Em, Em put on 50 and so on. Thats what hip hop needs, not the other stuff. We need to build not destroy. Peace to the big HOMIE Nas, Hip Hop Is Dead!!!

50 will not worth a dollar without eminem and Dre, but the best album done by Dre since All eyes on me, is the documentary is a shame that the game and dre did not make more albums together I am sure that 50 was feeling unsecure since he heard the game for the 1st time he is f**king real the game because he is the best rapper in land since 2Pac but thanks Dre for reviving the West coast once again

Gangreenseason says:
1)I hate to say this but It started when The Game fabricated stories about G Unit. He hurt them a lot. 50 should have just released him peacefully from G Unit and let him do his thing without all that drama. 50 should know that Game needs him to be as successful as he was and let him learn the hard way. By getting into a beef with him he helped the game sell more by publicity. 50 Cent helped to create a monster in him.
2)Banks has that potential to be a great rapper but Rotten Apple lacked the bite that The Hunger For More had. He has to prove himself again on his third album. Promotion also wasn't good for his album either. He had to do it all himself.
3) Last there has been too much feuds involving G Unit artists. It gets stupid after a while. Domination & Bang em Smurf, Ja Rule & Murda Inc, Fat Joe & Terror Squad, Jada & D Block, The Game, Diddy, Lil Kim, Cassidy,and there are probably more

G Unit are the most succesful rap group since NWA. All there artists have enjoyed success and they have succesfully branched off into clothing, shoes and jewelry. Buck The World is shaping up to be another classic and 50's new album is goin' 2 b raw!!
The ones who hate are just immature kids who buy into all that shit The Game says and haven't realised it's just a publicity stunt. If 50 so pussy how come no one's stepped 2 him, anyone can talk shit from behind the mic/camera.
50 will go down as a hip hop legend when he retires!!

Bmore, take a look at Banks record sales, the shit already went plantium. U just want to talk about what u heard. Get the facts nigga before u talk. What the f**k u mean 50 dont care about rap anymore? Just because the nigga got his hands in everything from clothes to water dont mean he aint rappin. The nigga 50 is gettin paid. To many nigga hatin cause they aint got stacks like 50, so quit hatin and fall back u f**k nigga.

Bmore says:
GGGG-Unot is through!! You can tell 50 doesnt care about rap n e more. Look at Banks second album, its garbage. 50 shoulda been helpin Banks put out a quality album out. 2Pac was right about Mobb Sleep all along. They R whack!! I just hope it is all over for them sooner than later. I dont even wanna touch M.O.P. and Mason Betha. I think what 50 is tryna do is show all of the few fans he has left is how to pile drive his once thriving rap career into the shithole!! I just hope this teaches you kids a valuable lesson "what goes around, come around"
p.s. I could be wrong, g-uont may not be dead, thank god 4 spida joke and young hot...whatever, and you cant forget "murda" mase!! what a f**kin joke!!

Haters!!!Game is not gangsta!!! West coast hip-hops fans stop riding Game's dick. Just because he is the only one good rapper coming out off the west coast that seems gangsta. stop riding his dick. The Game is not Gangsta. He is a stripper. Words doesn't make you gangsta actions make a person gangsta. I bet you he can't talk shit to 50 CENTS face, because he is scared. Game is a b**ch and he AIN'T Gangsta. He is scared and he will die down sooner or later.

st8 nigga, how the f**k did the Game single handely bring gunit down. The last time i check they still getin paper. Yayo and Banks are the only ones that has dropped albums this year, so what do u mean they all flopped. As a matter of fact look up the record sales today, on www.wikipedia.org and u will see Banks has already sold more albums than Game. The Game is ok, but he has some stupid ass fans that need to get there shit straight before they run there mouth. I still got love for the game, but i aint goin hate on gunit for the game being disloyal. Niggas act like they gotta choice sides in they beef, like yall cool wit them or something. The majority of true hip-hop fans will tell u that they had love for big and pac, even though 50 and game dont compare to big and pac I dont understand how niggas can be singin "up in the club" one day, and then say Gunot on the next day. Unlike the game and the other gunit haters, im stay loyal to gunit after all that what real niggas is about. Yall some dick ridin b**ches, but regardless of what yall say Gunit is making money so keep hating and watch 50 build an empire. gggggg-unit

50 cent is god to GUNIT and people should appreciate him giving Lyod, Yayo, Young Buck, Olivia, Mobb Deep, Maze and other guys opportunity. Game reminds me of Judas Iscariot within the disciple of Jesus Christ. Their are so many Game all over the places such as family. community, States and Countries.They are just fulfilling their prophesy as destructive element. I am happy 50, Dre and Eminem ignored him and helped other people who wants to be helped. Game's middle name is ingrate. So let him selfdestruct. G Unit should not focus on Game's conduct and deny helping other people. You will see what will become of Game as time goes by. We have people like that in our family, friends and community at large. They always loose.

f**k gunit. It's over.
They rode the Aftermath train to success but fell off at the GAME stop.
GAME did these niggas like b**ches and they stood there 8 deep and did nothing..
NOw they might stay around for a couple of years off of name alone, but their music is garbage.

G-Unit should also be reconized for establishing the most haters in the world. They're just that good. Everybody who has something bad to say about G-Unit has already been said for the past couple of years. It's the same shit and most of y'all know you have a least one or two CDs from G-Unit. Y'all need to lay off their nutz!

G Unit are wack I was feeling them back in the day but all they do now is make shit music for Hip Pop not Hip Hop. and 50's success is built off beef that is nothing to be proud off, also mobb deep should leave G unit not cus there wack but because there to good for them.

G.O.A.T. says:
G-Unit (50,Lloyd Banks,Young Buck, &Yayo) will go down as 1 of the most powerful & talented groups of all time behind N.W.A.,Wu Tang,Geto Boys,Outkast, & a few others. Like it or not u have 2 add Game 2 b/c he sold records while he was wit dem. Mobb Deep & M.O.P. r already legends but Spider Loc & Hot Rod have 2 prove themselves 2 me. And Mase, I will let his next album determine his status. But 50, he is 1 of the best songwriters 2 date.

Gunit needs to go back to the drawing board and get rid of all the extra baggage and let Gunit be about 50, Banks and Buck. They will never be able to top Beg for Mercy as a group as long as they try and fit everyone else in. Beg for Mercy was a dope albulm and gunit can do again if they just regroup. Right now 50 is trying to do to much. Everything will be cool once 50 decides to get rid of some niggas.

No matter what, it's undeniable, G-Unit works! At the end of the day, they have style and a great sound (consistently). And that's what keeps fans.

G.Unit made history. However they failed to stick to their roots and became arrogant thus leading to their own downfall. Their only way up is to get rid of Olivia,Mobb Deep and most of all M.O.P. Otherwise, it will be over before 2010.
