Revision as of 17:06, 10 March 2005 by 138.87.224.129 (talk) (→External links)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)G-Unit (short for Guerrilla Unit, not Gorilla nor Gangsta Unit, as often believed) is a rap group which consists of 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and Young Buck. The group's main musical styling is based around East coast rap. The group originally had three members; Young Buck joined the group after Tony Yayo was arrested due to an outstanding warrant. Tony Yayo eventually rejoined the group after he was released from prison. A common misconception, artists (The) Game , R & B singer Olivia and Spider Loc are not members of G-Unit, but rather part of the G-Unit record label.
Early in the group's existence, they released many mixtapes, and garnered a following in the underground scene. They also appeared on many other mixtapes, including those of DJ Kay Slay and DJ Clue. They now have their own DJ, DJ Whoo Kid.
In November of 2003, the group released their debut album Beg for Mercy. It has exceeded sales of over two million copies. It debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart.
Recently The Game was dropped from G-Unit Records by 50 Cent. Although there were a number of reasons for this, the main reason 50 Cent had given for this is that The Game had not given 50 Cent the proper credit for his work on his album, The Documentary. During a radio interview with Hot 97's FunkMaster Flex in New York City on March 1, 2005, 50 Cent, while discussing the growing riff between the two rappers, was rushed out of studio as The Game's posse attempted to gain entrance to the studio to confront 50 Cent. In the process, a man from Compton was shot, reportedly by a member of 50 Cent's posse .
