Before the group had a chance to record its debut album, Tony Yayo was sentenced to prison for a gun-possession charge as well as bail-jumping. [6] During Tony Yayo's prison sentence, the group signed Nashville rapper, Young Buck. They continued their activity, working on yet more mixtape recordings. In particular, their 'G-Unit Remix' to 50 Cent's "P.I.M.P." was successful[5]. " PIMP " is a song written by 50 Cent and Kon Artis for 50 Cent's commercial debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003 released

[7] Tony Yayo made only two appearances on the album, both on songs that were recorded before his arrest.

Former members

Several artists have left or been removed from the group for various reasons. Bang 'Em Smurf was never an official member of G-Unit, but very closely affiliated with them before they signed to Interscope Records. [8] He claimed that before 50 Cent saw mainstream success, the two recorded a mixtape from which they would earn $5 each, they sold 400,000 copies. 50 Cent allegedly never gave Bang Em' Smurf his share. [8] In addition to this Bang Em' Smurf claimed that 50 Cent did not contact or bail him out whilst he was in jail. This led to him and his close friend, Domination, no longer wanting to be affiliated with the group. Domination was never an official member of G-Unit but was a close friend of Bang 'Em Smurf during his G-Unit days. After the two had a brief feud with 50 Cent and G-Unit in 2003, Domination and Bang 'Em Smurf were no longer associated with G-Unit. [8]

The Game was originally placed into G-Unit by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. Jayceon Terrell Taylor (born November 29 1979 better known by his Stage name The Game, is an American Rapper. Andre Romelle Young (born February 18 1965 primarily known by his stage name Dr James Iovine, better known as Jimmy Iovine (born March 11 1952 is a Music producer, Entrepreneur and Chairman of Interscope-Geffen-A&M However after a while tensions began to rise between G-Unit and the rapper. 50 Cent claimed that The Game was being disloyal to the group because he did not want to get involved with the feuds between G-Unit and other rappers, even going as far as to say that he wished to work with them. 50 Cent also felt that he did not receive enough recognition for the writing of tracks on The Game’s debut album[9]. This resulted in what is arguably the biggest feud since the feud between Nas and Jay-Z. The feud between hip hop artists Nas and Jay-Z received public attention beginning in 2001 and ended in 2005. For more information see G-Unit vs. The Game.

On April 7, 2008, in an interview with Miss Jones on New York's Hot 97, 50 Cent stated that Young Buck was no longer a member of G-Unit but he was still signed to G-Unit records. Miss Jones is the stage name of Tarsha Nicole Jones, the former host of Miss Jones in the Morning on the New York City radio station Hot 97.

The Game

Main article: G-Unit vs. The Game feud

In early 2005, a feud between The Game and G-Unit began. Even before The Game's first album was released and their feud became public, there was tension between The Game and 50 Cent. [15] Soon after The Documentary's release, 50 Cent felt that the rapper was disloyal for saying he did not want to participate in G-Unit's feud with other rappers, and even wanting to work with artists with whom G-Unit were feuding, such as Nas and Jadakiss. Nasir Jones, nɑːˈsiər (born September 14 1973 better known by his Stage name Nas, nɑːz formerly Nasty Nas, is an American rapper Jayson Tyrone Phillips (born May 27 1975) also known by his Stage name Jadakiss, is an American rapper.

50 Cent also claimed that he was not getting his proper credit for the creation of the album. He also claimed that he wrote six of the songs, but The Game denied that. During that dispute, a member of The Game's entourage was shot after a confrontation at the Hot 97 studio in New York City. WQHT, more commonly known as "Hot 97", is a high-profile Rhythmic Radio station in New York City under the corporate ownership of The City of New York [16] After the situation between them escalated, 50 Cent and The Game held a press conference to announce their reconciliation. [17] Fans had mixed feelings as to whether the rappers created a publicity stunt to boost the sales of the two albums the pair had just released. [16] Nevertheless, even after the situation had apparently deflated,[18] G-Unit continued to feud with The Game, denouncing his street credibility in the media and claimed that without their support, he will not score a hit from his second album. The Game responded during a performance at Summer Jam and launched a boycott of G-Unit called "G-Unot". Summer Jam is the annual hip-hop fest held at Giants Stadium and sponsored by New York based radio station Hot 97FM And also by a Boston based radio station Jam'n 94 A boycott is a form of Consumer activism involving the act of voluntarily abstaining from using buying or dealing with someone or some other organization as an expression of [19] The phrase G-Unot is a pun on the group's name, and a pejorative term to refer to the group. It is short for "G (Gangster) You Not". 50 Cent has since registered the G-Unot trademark for himself which has in turn prevented The Game from using it anymore. [20]

After the performance at Summer Jam, The Game responded with "300 Bars and Runnin'", an extended track aimed at G-Unit as well as members of Roc-A-Fella Records on the mixtape You Know What It Is Vol. 3. " 300 Bars N Runnin' " is a song by West Coast hip hop artist The Game, directed towards former labelmate 50 Cent and his group G-Unit Jayceon Terrell Taylor (born November 29 1979 better known by his Stage name The Game, is an American Rapper. 50 Cent responded through his "Piggy Bank" music video, which features The Game as a Mr. Potato Head doll and also parodies other rivals. " Piggy Bank " is the fifth track from 50 Cent 's second album The Massacre. Mr Potato Head is a popular children's Toy, first sold in 1952 by Hasbro, consisting of a Plastic model of a Potato which can be decorated [21] Since then both groups continued to attack each other. The Game released two more mixtapes, Ghost Unit and a mixtape/DVD called Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin. Jayceon Terrell Taylor (born November 29 1979 better known by his Stage name The Game, is an American Rapper.

50 Cent's rebuttal was "Not Rich, Still Lyin'" where he mocks The Game. [22] In addition, G-Unit started to respond on numerous mixtapes and new G-Unit member Spider Loc began insulting The Game in various songs. Curtis Norvell Williams (born February 14 1979 in Compton California) more commonly known as Spider Loc, is an American rapper The Game responded with "240 Bars (Spider Joke)",[22] a song mainly aimed at Spider Loc, but also addressing Tony Yayo and rap group M.O.P.,[22] and on the song "The Funeral 100 Bars". Marvin Bernard, better known by his Stage name Tony Yayo, is a Rapper who is part of the rap group G-Unit. MOP, short for Mash-Out Posse, is an American Hardcore hip hop Duo.

In October 2006, The Game extended a peace treaty to 50 Cent, which was not immediately replied to. [23] However, a couple days later, onPower 106, he stated that the treaty was only offered for one day. KPWR (1059 FM, "Power 106" is a commercial Radio station located in Los Angeles California, broadcasting to the Greater Los Angeles [24] On The Game's album, Doctor's Advocate, he claims that the feud is over on a few of the songs. The feud seemed to have gained steam after Tony Yayo allegedly slapped the fourteen year old son of Czar Entertainment CEO, Jimmy Rosemond. Czar Entertainment is a management company which was founded by Jimmy Rosemond and Bryce Wilson. The Game responded with "Body Bags" on his mixtape, You Know What It Is Vol. 4.

Ja Rule

Before signing with Interscope Records, 50 Cent had been in disputes with rapper Ja Rule and his label Murder Inc. Records. Interscope Records is an American Record label, owned by Universal Music Group, and operates as one third of UMG's Interscope-Geffen-A&M label Jeffrey Atkins (born February 29 1976 Music career Atkins began his rap career in 1994 with the group Cash Money Click The Inc Records (formerly known as Murder Inc) established in 1997, is a Record label, owned by Irv Gotti. 50 Cent claimed that the feud began in 1999 after Ja Rule spotted him with a man who robbed him of his jewelry. [3] However, Ja Rule claimed the conflict stemmed from a video shoot in Queens because 50 Cent did not like Ja Rule "getting so much love" from the neighbourhood. [27] A confrontation occurred in a New York studio where rapper Black Child, a Murder Inc. Black Child is an American Singer and Rapper. Jam Master Jay Records signed Black Child in 1993 while Jay was still interested in Child's artist, stabbed 50 Cent, which resulted in him having three stitches. [28]

Since then, Black Child made two "disses" towards 50 Cent, "There's a Snitch in the Club", and "You the Wanksta". In both songs, Black Child talks about shooting 50 Cent, stabbing him, and other things, "I got a lot of living to do before I die, and I ain't got time to waste, shoot this nigga in his face".

The exchange of insultive tracks released from both parties culminated into Ja Rule releasing Blood in My Eye, which was an album that mostly insulted 50 Cent. Blood in My Eye is an album by rapper Ja Rule released in 2003 Ja Rule eventually tried to squash the feud with 50 Cent by using minister Louis Farrakhan in a televised interview. Louis Farrakhan (born Louis Eugene Walcott, May 11, 1933) is the Supreme Minister of the Nation of Islam as the National Representative However, the attempt at peace lost credibility as the interview was scheduled a day before Blood in My Eye was released. As a result, most fans, along with 50 Cent, dismissed the interview as a blatant publicity stunt. Because of the ongoing feud between the two, 50 Cent's labelmates Eminem, Dr. Dre and Obie Trice have also become involved and have also released tracks which insults Ja Rule. Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17 1972 known as Slim Shady and his primary Stage name Eminem, is an Academy Award -winning Andre Romelle Young (born February 18 1965 primarily known by his stage name Dr Obie Trice III (born November 14 1977 as stated in the song "Follow My Life" is an American rapper from Detroit Michigan

Ja Rule later released R.U.L.E. with the successful single, "New York", featuring Jadakiss and Fat Joe in which Ja Rule took subliminal shots at 50 Cent. RULE is the sixth album by rapper Ja Rule, released November 9, 2004. Jayson Tyrone Phillips (born May 27 1975) also known by his Stage name Jadakiss, is an American rapper. This single prompted 50 Cent to enter a feud with the two featured artists (see article on "Piggy Bank" for details). " Piggy Bank " is the fifth track from 50 Cent 's second album The Massacre.

Although it seemed that the feud was over, Ja Rule returned with a track entitled "21 Gunz". [29] In response, Lloyd Banks and 50 Cent released the track "Return of Ja Fool" on Lloyd Banks' mixtape Mo Money in the Bank Pt. Christopher Charles Lloyd (born April 30 1982) better known by his stage name Lloyd Banks, is an American Rapper and member of the 4, Gang Green Season Starts Now.

In an interview with MTV, Ja Rule has stated that his new album, The Mirror, will not be continuing any past feuds that he has engaged in. Jeffrey Atkins (born February 29 1976 Music career Atkins began his rap career in 1994 with the group Cash Money Click He said:

There was a lot of things I wanted to say, and I didn't want there to be any bitter records on the album. Because I'm not bitter about anything that happened [in the past few years]. [30]

Fat Joe

50 Cent pointed out that Fat Joe painted a target on himself for partnering up with Ja Rule in a song where Ja Rule insulted 50 Cent. Joseph Cartagena, better known by his Stage name Fat Joe, is an American Rapper of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent and 50 Cent recorded the track "Piggy Bank" in which he attacked Fat Joe. Fat Joe responded with a track entitled "My 44" and although he said that he would not respond, he made three more tracks, "Massacre of Fifty", "Victim", and "Whip Your Head". 50 Cent and Tony Yayo took more shots at him on "I Run NY". Even though things died down, at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, Fat Joe mentioned that all of the police presence in the venue was "courtesy of G-Unit" which related to his lyrical accusations that 50 Cent was a "snitch". The MTV Video Music Awards were established in the end of the summer of 1984 by MTV to celebrate the top Music videos of the year [31] 50 Cent and Tony Yayo retaliated on set later in the show at the end of their performance by shouting obscenities towards Fat Joe and Terror Squad, which were censored by MTV. Terror Squad is a hip hop crew and a Record label from The Bronx, New York that was first established in 1998 on a song in the album MTV ( Music Television) is an American Cable television network based in New York City. [31] Tony Yayo claimed Fat Joe ran from them at the VMAs. Also, Pistol Pete (a non-rapping member of Terror Squad) appeared on The Game's "Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin" DVD and disrespected Tony Yayo, Chris Lighty (owner of Violator Records whom had ties with 50 Cent[32]), and James Cruz (50 Cent's manager) and claims he chased Tony Yayo near a jewelry store. Lloyd Banks, Spider Loc, and Young Buck have also been insulting Fat Joe. In 2007, the feud was continued in interviews and by affiliates from both parties. [33][34] The feud has begun once again in 2008 with songs as videos being released from both parties.

Other feuds

A feud between 50 Cent and Camron began when 50 Cent was on Hot 97 giving an interview and Cam'ron called in[35]. Cameron Giles (born February 4 1976) better known by his Stage name Cam'ron, is a Rapper, Songwriter, and Actor WQHT, more commonly known as "Hot 97", is a high-profile Rhythmic Radio station in New York City under the corporate ownership of Cameron Giles (born February 4 1976) better known by his Stage name Cam'ron, is a Rapper, Songwriter, and Actor Cam’ron asked 50 Cent whether he had the power to stop records from being released on Koch Records and 50 Cent said that he does in some respects. As the conversation escalated into an argument, 50 Cent called Koch Records the "industry graveyard"[35]. Cam'ron replied and started insulting G-Unit by saying that Jim Jones' newest album sold just as much as Lloyd Banks' album did, despite the fact that Dipset is on an independent label and G-Unit is on a major label. Joseph Guillermo Jones II, better known by his Stage name Jim Jones, is an original member of The Diplomats, also known as Dipset Christopher Charles Lloyd (born April 30 1982) better known by his stage name Lloyd Banks, is an American Rapper and member of the 50 Cent took offense to this and said that Lloyd Banks has more money than Jim Jones, which makes record sales irrelevant. Joseph Guillermo Jones II, better known by his Stage name Jim Jones, is an original member of The Diplomats, also known as Dipset Cam'ron lost his temper and started ranting. Most notably, he brought up the poor record sales of the new Mobb Deep album. Mobb Deep is a hip hop duo that consists of Havoc and Prodigy. His rant became so profane and disruptive that the radio station was forced to hang up on him[35]. On February 9, 2007, a video premiere of 50 Cent's "Funeral Music" appeared on DJ Kay Slay's Myspace. Events 474 - Zeno crowned as co-emperor of the Byzantine Empire. Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. DJ Kayslay (born Keith Grayson in August 1 1966) also known as The Drama King, The Black Fat Joe, Dezzy Dez The video attacked the leader of Dipset. The Diplomats are a Harlem -based Hip hop group more commonly known as DipSet. This is not seen as an attack on other members of Dipset, as 50 Cent says "From now on, Jimmy's the boss of Dipset. Joseph Guillermo Jones II, better known by his Stage name Jim Jones, is an original member of The Diplomats, also known as Dipset And Juelz is the Capo. LaRon Louis James (born on February 18 1983 better known by his Stage name Juelz Santana, is an American rapper, producer and occasional actor A caporegime (or Capodecina) (sometimes shortened to capo) is a term used in the Mafia for a high ranking member of a crime family who heads Cam is demoted to soldier.

Events 421 - Constantius III becomes co- Emperor of the Western Roman Empire. Cam'ron recently responded with a track called "Curtis" titled after 50 Cent's first name. Cam'ron doesn't state too much, other than claiming he enjoys 50 Cent's shoutouts to Dipset members Juelz Santana and Jim Jones, then goes on to discuss Santana's and Jim Jones' sales on their recent albums. 50 Cent and Young Buck made the song "Hold On" together with a video in which 50 Cent takes shots at Cam'ron. Cam'ron responded with "Curtis pt. 2", which he shot a video for. In an interview with MTV Tony Yayo aired his feeling about Cam'ron. Marvin Bernard, better known by his Stage name Tony Yayo, is a Rapper who is part of the rap group G-Unit. He said:

I don't believe Cam'ron, I don't believe Jim Jones, I don't believe Lil Wayne, I don't believe Baby, I don't believe Game and I don't believe Fat Joe. I feel like Cam'ron is a peon. Let's ask the general public: When was the last time Cam'ron made a fucking hit? It's time for these niggas to pay the piper. [36][37]
