50 Cent Breaks Down G-Unit’s T.O.S.

When we spoke with 50 Cent a few months ago, Young Buck hadn’t yet said “Fuck G-Unit” and that infamous tear-filled phone conversation was just another recording in 50’s Nixon-esque library of potential blackmail material. But even then, 50 was open about why he was becoming increasingly frustrated with the Unit’s Cashville representative:
“There was a day when we were supposed to shoot photographs for the video game. [Buck] decided he wanted to go to a music video that was being shot for an artist down South, for an artist that doesn’t have an album out right now. In the middle of that we were recording material for the G-Unit album, so his interest is all over the place.”
But even with Buck gone, the three man crew (50, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo) did a commendable job putting together T.O.S. (Terminate On Sight), a solid album that’s sure to satisfy fans of their hardcore mixtape material. The album came out today, so read our full interview with 50 below to get some insight into how it all came together.
