GGGGGG-Unit!!!!!

Whut It Dew? This is the one and only DJ Xcal back to give you a piece of my mind once again. I know that you guys want to hurt me because of my over sarcastic views of hip-hop, but I don't care! Today's topic the new G-Unit. With the release of Get Rich or Die Tryin' the movie and soundtrack and the release of 50's game Bulletproof, November is G-Unit month.

Now within a span of about two years from 50's first album in 2003 to 2005 he has been slowly building up G-Unit. The first mission at was to put out a G-Unit album, Beg For Mercy, to introduce Young Buck (who at this time was picking up the slack while Tony Yayo was in prison) give people a taste of Lloyd Banks and hear more from 50 Cent. Next, the mission was to show that all the G-Unit soldiers could stand on their own two. Solo projects from Lloyd Banks (The Hunger For More) and Young Buck (Straight Outta Ca$hville) showed that 50's two soldiers were just as able bodied as he was at expanding the brand and making people want more. And give the people more is what 5-0 did. During the time of Buck's and Banks' solo albums, 50 expanded the brand by signing a shoe deal with Reebok and starting a clothes line in association with Ecko. From there The Game was next up, being one of the two new west coast artist on the label (Spider Loc is the other), this showed that 50 could expand his G-Unit empire...with a little help from Dr. Dre. Game's album did well, but so after he was kicked out of the Unit for not being a true soldier and riding for the whole team; after this Game went straight Aftermath( Dr.Dre's record label). Soon after 50's second album, The Massacre, was released and like the first sold very well. Around this time Tony Yayo got out of prison and his album was next to bat. Again, one of 50's soliders proved he could stand on his own two. During this time the G-Unit Army began to grow. Spider Loc, Olivia, Mobb Deep, M.O.P, and "Murda" Ma$e. 50 has also got Lil Scappy as a shared solider through a deal with Lil Jon's BME Recordings and is rumored to have sign B.G. (formally of Cash Money ). Okay history lesson over, time to break down the artists. Everyone put one their protective gear to make sure you are not harmed.

First lets talk about the G-Unit general himself, 50 Cent. Mr Interscope is a hustla. Come on you can not set here and tell me he is not. A successful record label, clothing and shoe deals, an 8 Mile-type movie of his very own, and his own video game. This man is making money! Lots of it! Hey Fif I will join G-Unit right now...all I want is a G-Unit Spinna with blue and black diamonds. As much love as I have for this man this does not escape that fact that his teeth are HUGE! I would feel sorry for Paul Wall if he ever had to make a grill for that man.

Next, Lloyd Banks, Droopy himself. You can not tell me he does not look like Droopy from the old cartoons. He, in my opinion, is one of the better artists on the label. He is one of those silent, but deadly types. I like him, he's Scrappy!

Ah yes Young Buck,the groups own personal Pig Pen; seriously he is. Have you ever notice Buck has a constant cloud of smoke round him. Buck gives G-Unit their southern style, I thought that he fit in from the begining. He did a Nice job of craving a spot for himself. Be warned, stay a good distance away from him, you might get a contact high.

Tony Yayo, is the groups own personal hype man. He yells more than he does? Nobody thats who! He is the only guy you know that went to jail off and on and had millions of dollars in the bank...thanks to 50. I like him he bring a flare all is own. Yayo is one of the oringinal G-Unit O.G.

Now for the only girl of the group...Olivia! Man she is sexy! She brings a soft touch to the Unit, but not too soft. O looks like she can whoop my ass! Come on she lifts weights with 50!

Next, QB's own Mobb Deep! They are G-Unit's own personal hobbits. These guys are small, but big at the same time. I love these guys...Quiet Storm was my joint! Out of the two I like Havoc the most. P is cool, but I like Hav because he is a producer too.I think I started to like them even more when Alchemist was added to the click. Now since joining G-Unit, I really hope these boys blow up.

M.O.P...these boys are like an army of two; very dangerous. I expected to have an album from them when they were with Roc-a-fella, but it never happened because of the Jay-Z and Dame split. Hopefully they will find success with the Unit. I see big thing for them and for M-O-B-B.

Last, but not least "Murda" Ma$e. When the hell did the "Murda" kick back in. What, was he waiting for it to come out since Diddy turned him into a singing dancing clown. So let me get this straight...G-Unit was the catalyst for the "Murda," right? Even the other G-Unit member were surprised by the good ministers actions. He is confused beyond belief

Well I would write on Lil Scrappy, but he is not an official member so I will hold off on that. Also check out the NEW G-Unit in this month's XXL-Love It or Hate Issue.

I'm out like a light. I'm going to kick some butt on Soul Calibur III. One!
