G-Unit : news et rumeurs

Ce topic n'est pas destiné à un débat sur 50 Cent. Ce sera directement effacé.

Last time you were in the booth?

Just the other day, finishing up the new record Curtis. You know how Batman Begins came after Batman? This album is going to reflect the person I was before I was known as 50 Cent. You see some of my defects of character, my imperfections. Because of the competitive nature of artists, it makes them turn themselves into a superhero, even when they don’t have finances, they rap like they do. So I chose to write about some older situations where I didn’t get the best of the altercation.

Last time you considered the album title looked like a nod to Cam?

You know what was retarded about that whole thing? Why would you think you were irritating or disrespecting someone by calling them the name their mother gave them? This guy said something to me he ain’t supposed to say on radio but any popularity he gained also made people aware that he makes a lot of garbage. It backfires on him over and over – he tried it with me, Jay, Nas. Lots of artists take shots- that’s hip hop.

Last time you considered making friends with Game?

I spent six days in the studio with him - Game has no idea who I am, he doesn’t know me. I felt like a person that would be that ungrateful isn’t someone I would ever value, so there’s no point in having a conversation with him. He has no morals at all, so why would I want to be friends with him? It doesn’t bother me, and I actually make more money off of him that he does. If I wrote songs about him, I’d destroy my own cash.

Last time you saw Em?

I got Dr Dre and Em on a song called Come And Go With Me. They’re the usual suspects, we work together so often and so well that everybody should know it’s going to be super hot. I also got Timbaland, Akon, Mary J. Blige, Robin Thicke, Young Buck, Nicole from Pussycat Dolls and Yayo. I got beats from Kanye, Swiss, Polow Tha Don, Pharrell, Dre, will. i. am...

Last time you talked to Buck?

You know what it is, Buck got on the radio and sometimes when we don’t communicate, he says things in a way that can be misinterpreted. People have seen from past experiences that Buck will do what he gotta do in situations like the [Vibe] Awards type of thing. But he’s not walking around with those intentions. He was saying he doesn’t have problems with these artists, because when he’s around me, he sees I’m not stressed about it.

Last time you saw an artist with a similar spirit to yourself? How about Uncle Murda?

That kid, they don’t believe him. He says he shot nine people, but we don’t know none of those people that he shot. Nobody in his neighbourhood knows them people.

Last time you thought about the competition?

I’m not sure if you know their names, but Mims and Rich Boy have a little buzz goin’. But these records aren’t difficult to write, the content is really easy to do. So it indicates to me that people want to have fun with records that are repetitive.

Last time you thought about your No. 1 spot? Or do Jay and TI have that now?

It is difficult to have a conversation about hip hop without me showing up as the No. 1 person. Internationally, neither one of those artists you mentioned sold over 100,000 copies. A good publicist can make you appear to be as big as 50 Cent in the US, but just the US. Actually, there’s no one bigger than me in hip hop outside of the country than Eminem.

rap2k a écrit:50 Cent en a marre des rappeurs qui vivent à son crochet. Le boss du G-Unit serait fatigué de porter Loyd Banks et Young Buck sur ses épaules, en déclarant que ces derniers ont assez profité de sa générosité. « Je leur est carrément dis que je ne peux plus les aider financièrement. Mieux encore, je ne serai plus là pour eux. Ils ont amassé une fortune grâce à moi, mais c'est du passé ! », déclare Fifty.

Curtis Jackson se souvient très bien de l'époque où il prenait en charge presque tout. « Soit je leur filais 500 000 $ soit 300 000 $... Tout simplement parce qu'ils voulaient 300 000 $ en plus, pour qu'ils fassent la belle vie », raconte-t-il. Mais l'artiste semble déterminé à tout lâcher. « L'époque où je me retrouvais seul dans une salle, à porter des vêtements G-Unit, alors qu'ils ont tous été payés pour en faire autant, est révolue. Ils ont reçu le chèque mais n'ont pas porté les vêtements en question », a-t-il lancé.

Par ailleurs, le boss du G-Unit est fier des duos de rap Mobb Deep et M.o.p. Mais cela ne l'empêche de dire que le succès de ces derniers est dû à son ingéniosité et à sa politique financière.

Les membres du G-Unit pourront-ils alors survivre sans la « grande » générosité de 50 Cent ? Les ripostes de ceux qui sont ambitieux risquent de ne pas se faire attendre !

rap2k a écrit:La superstar incontestée du rap américain, 50 Cent, aurait fait appel aux services de son homologue français Booba pour enregistrer le remix de son morceau "Hands Up High", qui figurera logiquement sur la version français de Curtis, le troisième album de 50 prévu pour Septembre. Le couplet de B2O remplacera celui de Tony Yayo sur la version originale.

A l'heure qu'il est, Booba prépare son quatrième album solo, ainsi que celui de son protégé Malekal Morte.

Brooklyn rap group M.O.P. is searching for a new label home, as they prepare to leave 50 Cent's G-Unit imprint, the group's manager Laze told AllHipHop.com.

"As soon as I lock down the new situation, it will be official," Laze told AllHipHop.com, adding that the terms were definitely “amicable.”

While M.O.P.'s three year stint on G-Unit did not yield an album, the group benefited greatly from the situation, according to their longtime manager.

"The great thing about the G-Unit deal is that it cleared all the debts the group carried over the years," Laze explained. "So we are starting basically from scratch."

Comprised of Billy Danze and Lil' Fame, M.O.P. has yet to attain the commercial success that would match the loyal fan following they've garnered since their 1994 debut To The Death.

Their most successful album to date was Warriorz, released in 2000 on Loud Records.

Despite the popularity of two singles from that album, "Ante Up," and "Cold As Ice," Warriorz has yet to break the 500,000 records sold mark.

The group was briefly signed to Roc-A-Fella Records before Dame Dash's departure and has remained ever present on the mixtape scene, despite several label changes since Loud Records folded in 2002.

M.O.P.'s most recent album was 2005's independently released M.O.P. Salutes The Marxmen on their own Family First imprint, which is distributed by Koch.

As recently as July of last year, Billy Danze was quoted as saying that their G-Unit debut was due in October of 2007.

"I think [if we] would have got our record out earlier, that would have set a clear quality precedent," said Laze. " All the aesthetic issues would have been solved and we'd be on the second album by now. I knew we were going to have problems though, because 50 needed the group to be in a certain space in order for him to co-sign it.

"He didn't feel Fame was in that space physically or mentally," Laze continued. “He shouldn't have to [understand Fame], but there are many talented artists in history that you don't know where their talent comes from."

Creative differences aside, Laze maintains that there is absolutely no animosity between the two camps.

"50 has been good about letting us move on," Laze stated. "I still believe that we would work together. The relationship is much better from a creative standpoint."
