Repeated paragraph

There appears to be two paragraphs on the same point. Two paragraphs after this one here, is the basically the same one, so could someone correct this? "It has also been reported that Busta Rhymes wants to get 50 Cent and The Game together on the same track on his new album, Before Hell Freezes Over. Busta Rhymes wants to do this because he wants to end the feud." 203.23.153.249 11:09, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Promotional vandalism?

Someone keeps posting an artist's name called 'Notorious ALI' under current g-unit artists, i can't find any information on this artist so if anyone knows anything say something please. Someone keeps putting Ras Kass up too again can someone please say something if there is any proof that he is in g-unit.

Mixtapes or bootlegs?

I'm not too sure yet but the supposed list of "Mixtapes" doesn't look very realistic they seem to be bootlegs to me, not mixtapes made by G-unit and Dj Whoo Kid, I put a couple of definitely official mixtapes like "G-unit: 50 cent is the Future" up and someone took them off could someone back-up me up on the matter that these are not real G-Unit mixtapes.

Vandalism

Can somone remove that "Don't mess with G-Unit" thing at the end of the article?

Vandalism removed

Someone had removed everything in the article, up to "Recent aquisitions", and replaced it with "SPENCAAA". I'm assuming it was the same person who wrote "JUH-JUH-JUH G-UNIT!!!" in the discussion page. I've just restored the page to its previous state.

JUH-JUH-JUH G-UNIT!!!

68.162.132.194 added the following to the end of the article:

It is actually spelled gorilla as in the animal. I think it is pretty degrading, but look at their clothing line, you can see how its spelled.

Tim Ivorson 11:43, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I wrote JUH-JUH-JUH G-UNIT!!! on the discussion page, but I did not write "SPENCAAA". In an alternate universe, I'm a legitimate contributor to Wikipedia.--69.234.14.168 06:20, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

The G in G-Unit

Well, Guerilla does seem to make more sense. The only true way of finding out is asking the group themselves. MessedRocker 22:46, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)

  • Officially, the title of the clothing line is "Gorilla Unit". jglc |t |c 21:14, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

i can't for the life of me remember where, but i read an interview with 50 cent where the whole guerilla/gorilla thing was brought up and he basically said that the group is guerilla unit but they didn't want to bring out their clothing line under that name, as it was around the time of the war, and as they didn't want to be associated with any kind of warfare, they released it under the name gorilla unit. User:febodyed

==I actually read an article stating the exact opposite - It was originally Gorilla, and had to be changed due the similar "Gorillaz" group. However, an article on ALLHIPHOP.COM with 50 Cent claims that it stands for Guerrilla, but also Gangsta. I think they just claim whatever they feel best suits at the time.

I heard somewere that G-Unit was suposed to be prononsed "Gun It". can this be true?

How can you know so sure? do you have any strong argument (exept that it is guerilla unit) for your point.. It's not that i don't thrust your cunning, i just want to know why you can tell so sure that it can't be prononced 'Gun it'. //LMT 5 februari 2006

==I believe it's pretty clear that it's not pronounced Gun-it, since it's never been pronounced like that by the group. The constant "G-G-G G-Unit" calls during songs clear that up.

==After alot of resarch on their original products (clothing and albums) i have realized something. for their record company its Guerilla Unit (their albums are realeased as Interscope/Aftermath/Guerilla Unit), but for their clothing company it is Gorilla unit

Well it stands for gorilla in "Betta Ask Somebody" Young buck refers to himself as a "Gorrilla" "raised in the jungle" surely pertaining to that fact hes in G(orilla)-Unit

G-Unot

If you didn't know...

also, some users that dont know much about this, want to merge these two together, wich i think is a really stupid idea. .::Imdaking::. Tlk |E-M 00:49:40, 2005-09-09 (UTC)

some big edits

I'm a bit of an outsider on G-Unit, but made several changes (as you can see). I took out a lot of stuff that either didn't make any sense to me, or was too badly or incompletely written for me to fix. I removed all the member bios, since they've all got their own pages, although I think a brief description about their "ranks" should be included (obviously 50 should be identified as the leader, etc).

Edit by JC, 10/5/06 === Apart from 50 Cent being leader, there's no other ranks within the group, so that would be pointless.

A question: For the sake of being informative for people who aren't in the know, can we clarify just exactly what G-Unit is? There seems to be some confusion throughout the article between G-Unit the group and G-Unit the record label. Perhaps there should be two different pages? The description of the "members" seemed unclear on whether they were all together members of a cohesive group (like a band), or if they're just all friends who sometimes record together and have a some sort of formal business relationship. Staecker 02:41, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Edit by JC, 10/5/06 === The exact relationship of Label vs Group within G-Unit is something that hasn't even been clarified by the group. The original members (i.e. 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo & then later Young Buck) are obviously the main core of the group, but with Olivia, Mobb Deep & M.O.P. now featuring on many songs and tours, but not always being part of the group, it's difficult to determine whether they're now group mainstays, or simply label-mates who're featuring on the tracks.

WTF

Why would you delete the member bios?

He refused to beef?

what does "refuse to beef" mean?

It means to refuse to have a feud or dispute with. This is obvious slang though, and shouldn't be in an encyclopedia entry. Barring objections, I'll try to substitute more formal language tomorrow. -- Hinotori(talk)|(ctrb) 10:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Recent acquisitions

I feel that we should remove this section, as that pertains to the record label and not the rap group. WeedBoy5708 17:54, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

OK What does it take to make an article?

This article is terrible! I don't understand this! You poeple are not using this Wikipedia wisely! Tell me this who started this! As far is it goes: Officially, Mobb Deep, Olivia, M.O.P. and Spider Loc are signed to G-Unit. M.O.P. and Spider Loc has not officially been apart of Interscope yet, so therefore it's still in the air. You are turning this article into a fansite. Look At the The DO NOTs at Wikipedia. I would like to see improvements in this article. Not a blovating page of nonsense. Thanks. LILVOKA.

Rumors

Ok. lets clear this up

1. Mike Knox is not signed to G-Unit he is just some guy who gives a shout out to g-unit websites

2. Paul Wall was in Ashanti's recent single "Still On It", and was featured in the "Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin" soundtrack, which clears him up. 50 Cent may have approached him at the Vibe Awards or he didnt, he still isn't signing

3. Kool G Rap's wife Ma Baker just signed to The Black Wall Streets official producer Nu Jerzey Devil' record label Livelihood Entertainment, so Kool G Rap is not signing to G-Unit

4. Keyshia Cole is not signing to G-Unit, nor is Olivia being dropped

5. Lloyd Banks does not want to leave G-Unit, that was a rumour from The Source (which has a well-known bias against G-Unit)

6. The B.G. should still be in Rumors section since he still has his own label Chopper City and is not signing anywhere until he releases his album in late February.

7. N'yvus nor Jayo Felony are signed to G-Unit West since that rumor was started before there was even a G-Unit West, and was claiming that they were going to sign to G-Unit, but then someone changed it to G-Unit West when it was created to make it more believeable

8. 40 Glocc should really be in the Joint Venture section considering that Lil Scrappy and Lil John are and there signed to a brach of G-Unit, and 40 Glocc is also signed to Infamous Records

9. People should only put artists that have been comfirmed in the G-Unit, G-Unit South and West sections, and people that have not been confirmed in the Rumors section.

10. People should credit their sources not like people who have claimed that Lil Scrappy is a member of Trillville, which is ridiculous.

11. There should be a Producers section, look at the Aftermath Wikipedia page

LILVOKA is right therefore Mase, Lil Scrappy, MOP & Spider Loc shouldnt be in the roster section.

The G-Unit

Includes:

  • 50 Cent
  • Lloyd Banks
  • Mobb Deep
  • Tony Yayo
  • Olivia
  • Young Buck
  • Spider Loc
  • M.O.P.

Note: The Game for the time being until Interscope releases a press statement is still on G-Unit. This is a fact. Mase is still signed to Bad Boy, it's still in talks to release him from the label. M.O.P. and Spider Loc are not officially signed to Interscope, yet! Lil' Scrappy is working with G-Unit but it's not clear on where it stands. Kool G Rap, Lil' Jon, DMX, Beanie Sigel, Paul Wall and Jayo Felony are not on G-Unit. B.G. is currently in talks with G-Unit, but as of today not a member. So therefore, in two weeks this article will be improved to a standard. If there are any questions with this article, please talk to me! LILVOKA.And 50 Cent has said and I quot " Olivia is a member of G-Unit

  • B.G. signed to Buck's independant label along w/ Scrappy in-case sum of yall aint know. He aint a part of G-Unit.
  • The Game left G-Unit on his own you idiot.
This isn't for G-Unit Records ... we are talking about G-Unit the group where Mase and Lil Scrappy are members, while Game is obviously not. RealFerrari 22:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

A lil Proof and Knowlege goes a long way

Also how about you take a look at Http://spiderloc.com/ an do a lil reading cuz it says hes signed.Haha you just got burned .Want More ? How about you go look at http://www.g-unitrecords.com/ The Offical G-Unit Site you see all those people hmm some of them aren't members according to you or maybe you should look at the bottom see all those icons I see mop mase and spider loc isn't that odd No.Remeber this page is about G-Unit And they are members so what you gonna do start asking questions before you give answers like man i'm not trying to be a prick but you ruined alot of true information and you don't know anything You Should add back all the info I had it was more correct than what you have now if your gonna claim you know something how about actually knowing something first.Thats it thats all nail in the coffin. Btw I'm TheEvilGenius420

Kanye West

Someone in the much defaced 50 Cent article recently made the claim that Kanye West was joining hte G-Unit. If true and it has a citation, put it in this article as well.

I`m just woundering what a R&B artist is going to do in G-unit? He`s a playa, not a gangsta

Olivia isnt a gangsta rapper but shes in G-Unit

Kanye West would never join G-unit thats ridiculous

Protection

I have added semi-protection to the page. Constant reverts and edits that are not sourced is time consuming and annoying to Wikipedians. Changes should be discussed on the talk page for un-protection or to the article.

I know that I have edited this article and cleaned it up numerous times, only to be fouled by fanfare and weasle words. Hopefully this will be curbed soon.

Please protect this page. It is constantly being vandalized RealFerrari 22:14, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

"Rap supergroup"?

Banks and buck are the only half decent rappers, G-unit is far from a supergroup. Pssht at u kids.

Agreed - a supergroup can only be so when the individual members achieved their own success prior to the formation of the group or at least prior to the release of the first album. Just as D12 cannot be a supergroup as only 1 of their members (arguably 2 perhaps) had achieved any success in the rap game before the release of Devil's Night, G-Unit cannot be a supergroup as only 50 Cent (and perhaps Young Buck to an extent with UTP) had achieved any success. An example of a supergroup would be the Firm, where all the members were already known rappers before the group's formation. Supergroups are rare, G-Unit is just a rap group. I just realised that the wikipedia entry of supergroup explains all that I've just said. Just read that, it'll clarify things.

So wouldnt that make NWA a supergroup of it's time?DogPHman 17:58, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi... umm post something wih an answer, if G-Unit isnt a supergroup, would it be something like if the following rappers "just" made a group named like The All-Stars or the Illest Killers: Eminem, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, DMX, Xzibit, Chamillionaire, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Lil Jon, Cam'ron, Master P, and Puff Daddy or something like that?

Kinda, they have to actually be skilled rappers tho. Cam'ron, Diddy, 50 Cent...all of them have no exceptional talent in my eyes. Lil Jon shouldnt even be in a supergroup. NWA wouldn't be a supergroup of its time. Where were MC Ren & Yella before that?

Request unprotection?

This page has been protected for the past two weeks. No discussion has occurred on the issue in the past week talk page. Are the issues being resolved and the disputed parties moving towards consensus? If there are no objections, I will request unprotection. Calwatch 00:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Members?

Sometime soon could we add a comprehensive list of the Artists in G-Unit, theres no info in the article right now. Cheers, Dubbya9 04:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Grammar problem

There is a misplaced modifier in this sentence: "After the rapper's debut release, The Documentary, 50 Cent formally dismissed him from his G-Unit crew for alleged claims of 'disloyalty.'" This grammatically incorrect because it seems that the rapper's debut release The Documentary was 50 Cent's when it actually was the The Game's. This can easily be fixed by just using this sentence (even though it uses the passive): "After the rapper's debut release, The Documentary, The Game was formally dismissed by 50 Cent from his G-Unit crew for alleged claims of 'disloyalty.'"

  • But it's still incorrect. You're presenting 2 rappers but still using 'the rapper's debut'. Here try this. "After The Game's debut release, The Documentary, he was formally dismissed by 50 Cent from 50 Cent's G-Unit crew for alleged claims of 'disloyalty.'"--Lil' Infamous (talk) 1:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Deejay and DJ are different spelling, but the spelling DJ is used in hip hop deejay is mostly not. So I changed it. --Mrrightguy10 00:57, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

subjective

G-Unit is a gangsta rap group founded by 50 Cent. The group first garnered a following in the underground New York City scene by independently releasing several mixtapes. The group's founder, Queens-based rapper 50 Cent, officially brought the group mainstream success by establishing it as a division at Interscope Records. Since signing to the label, almost all of G-Unit's members have released solo albums. They are the most famous and by far the most impressive and best rap group around.

Isn't that too subjective to be put in the article?

Yes, it is, that is why it was removed. --- Efil4tselaer 16:00, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

question

Recently i added that bang em' up smuff and domination needed to be added so then someone said that they were in a earlier version of G-Unit before the group. Also Shouldn't Mase be a former member because he got the boot after diddy and 50 dissed each other. Also to the person above album sales dodnt make carrers they just bring in quick cash if you sell enough CD'd

Bang 'em and Domination qualify to be listed in the list of FORMER members. Ma$e, however, was never inked to G-Unit, just showed up on some songs, probably for promotional uses. Or maybe something was in the works but not anymore. And what do you mean Mase "got the boot when 50 and Diddy dissed each other"? Fifty has been dissing him since back on - or even before - Get Rich Or Die Tryin' (Life's On The Line). Although it's said they have squashed beef now...or just agreed not to diss anymore.--Dlae 14:14, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

And I've just read "to the person above" (me) - huh?--Dlae 14:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

This beef was actually on both sides as before p. diddy didnt say anything to 50. In one song 50 says while dissing diddy the deal is done but if you look it up you'll get what he really says. Also when i said when mase got the boot i meant kicked out due to the beef

I know. I know.--Dlae 12:12, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

u do that

G-Unit members

Okay let's clear something. G-Unit is a rap quartet group. They consist of:

  • 50 Cent
  • Young Buck
  • Lloyd Banks
  • Tony Yayo

Stop putting Mobb Deep, M.O.P. Olivia, Mase Young Hot Rod, and Spider Loc. They are not part of G-Unit. G-Unit is only the original quartet. These guys are part of G-Unit Records, there is a difference. That's why these guys go under the G-Unit Records roster, not the G-Unit roster. Also, I propose that we protect this page because this page gets vandalized by a lot of G-Unot fans, so to prevent the guests from vandalizing the page, we should protect the page.

I agree. --- Efil4tselaer 19:29, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Former members

OK people, Olivia is NOT a member of G-Unit. She was only signed to G-Unit RECORDS, but she was never in the GROUP G-Unit. She has now left G-Unit RECORDS, so do NOT add her name to the former members section in the article. As far as I know, the only former members are Bang Em Smurf, Domination, and The Game. So please STOP adding her name to the former members section. Thank you. --- Efil4tselaer 16:42, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Body bags diss

It wasn't aimed at Young Buck, it's the opposite, so please remove that.

Game: "Me and Buck are still good. A lot of people thought in the "Body Bags" song, when I say that line, "F--- the whole G-Unit, who lied to Buck?" that I'm dissing him. I'm not dissin' Buck."

G-Unit or G Unit?

I wanted to ask if the group is calles G-Unit or G Unit. I actually thought it was G Unit but I'm not 100% sure. Their official logo is G Unit, but for example their clothing line is called G-UNIT CLOTHING CO. I also own some G(-)Unit Sneakers, on the outside there is the logo without the - but inside the shoeis says something like "[...]official G-Unit[...]" Now what is rigth?

I am pretty sure it is G-Unit. --- Efil4tselaer 15:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
but see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:G-Unit_Website.jpg. it is the picture that is used on the wikipedia website for g(-)unit and it seems to be taken from their website. there it says G Unit not G-Unit. --84.60.247.39 12:22, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
You seem to be right. They probably changed their name. but you probably wanted to link to this pic :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:G-Unit.jpg

NOTES

Young Buck was added to the group before Tony Yayo went to prison, they are both on stage together in the 50 Cent: The New Breed DVD, during the detroit show segment (Buck is wearing a throwback Washington Bullets jersey and Yayo is wearing a New York Knicks jacket and glasses) I make this point because there is a common misconception that Young Buck was signed as a replacement for Tony Yayo, which is not true. Also, THE G-UNIT RADIO MIXTAPES ARE OFFICIAL RELEASES, although mixtapes do not count toward an artist official discography as they are not albums. Another thing, G-Unit is not an active rap group, but the Beg For Mercy album was created to launch G-Unit records and the solo careers of its artists. Locked and Loaded will be a compliation from G-Unit records, not an album from the origional group, although the origional members will feature heavily in the release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.219.161 (talk • contribs) 08:49, May 2, 2007

I don't see why this line should be included as 50 Cent himself has said that most of G Unit "Tony Yayo, Olivia and Lloyd Banks" have had disappointing sales. (confirmed in an interview with Hot 97)

I prefer the line be changed to "50 Cent and Young Buck have released successful and popular albums" or to have the line omitted completely. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.244.209.188 (talk) 08:17, 7 May 2007 (UTC).

Cleanup

I did a lot of copyediting and tagged the article for cleanup. There are a lot of unsourced quotes and assertions here, and the language is not encyclopedic. Phrases such as "had a beef with" and "got locked up" are not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Also, names such as "50 Cent" should not be abbreviated to "50". Curtis Jackson already has a nickname. And there is no need to wikify every instance where someone's name pops up. Once at the beginning of the article is enough. Thanks! --Dchall1 23:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Seriously

This article needs some serious fact checks. This article is completely bias. This also has too much reference to name say: 50, Banks, Buck, and Yayo. Please use the common sense stance when writing this article. This feud section also states bias. Please clean this up. LILVOKA 09:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Website

I changed website address from www.g-unit.com to www.g-unitsoldier.com because www.g-unit.com led to G-Unit Records website (oddly, www.g-unit.com and www.g-unitrecords.com are the same website but with different addresses) and www.g-unitsoldier.com leads to G-Unit website. A special note for The-G-Unit-Boss: I will be reverting every your edit that violates Wikipedia:Manual of Style, especially such thing as wrong capitalization. You better stop "making article look better" that way. Thanks and peace! Daniil Maslyuk 06:22, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I dont mean to get on your nerves, but where in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style does it say about not capitalizing website addresses? If you tell me I would be delighted to stop capitalizing them. --The-G-Unit-Boss 11:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
First of all, Wikipedia:Manual of Style does not mention anything about capitalizing website addresses (therefore it means website address should be treated like regular words), secondly, note that Musical artist infobox sample template does not capitalize website address, and so do not featured articles (examples include Sly & the Family Stone, AC/DC and Pink Floyd among others). Ya got any objections? Thanks! Daniil Maslyuk 12:40, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Yeh I see what you mean, ok ill stop changing them to capitalized as I see that you were only doing what you thought was right. At first it seemed that you was just intent upon reverting all of my edits. Thanks --The-G-Unit-Boss 13:24, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

I have reduced the "Controversy" section quite a lot see here. We just need to add some information about their actual music and expand their biography section. --The-G-Unit-Boss 19:56, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Contreversy or Fueds

How G Unit's fueds count as being contreversial? But for rappers like Lil Wayne, it's only fueds? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.138.137.247 (talk) 05:27, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

it just depends how you rename a section header. If its named "Controversy" then it can contain fueds as well as other controversies however if it is named "Feuds" you would need another section if you wanted to add other controversies. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 09:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Colloquial Slang

"Disses" and "Beefs" are colloquial slang. They are NOT mainstream words of the English language. Wikipedia is aimed at everyone, but not everyone will know what "Disses" and "Beefs" are. Please, do not continue to use them in wikipedia. In my previous edit, I removed one of each example and replaced it with "Diatribes" and "Altercation's" respectively. Those are real standard grammar words. ScarianTalk 23:39, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

That's really funny. That's exactly the type of words I would expect some editors to use on an article like this. - Throw 20:10, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Former Members

I put in a cleanup-section tag in this area. It was heavily vandalized and contained questionable edits by users such as Rkorn542. Hopefully some more knowledgeable editors can tackle this daunting task. If it can't be sorted out soon I'll take a stab at it, but that would take the form of some massive revert, and I'm sure someone here can do better.WDavis1911 08:41, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Mixtape Section

I have added the mixtape section to the page, if that is alright. I thought it would be appropriate to include G-Unit's mixtape work also.

Thank you, but they're not notable enough to be here, their page at the discography is fine. --JpGrB 23:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Trivia?

Tony Yayo is the only member of G-Unit (past and present) to not have been shot before? I just thought it up just now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.24.92.67 (talk) 02:06, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Trivia sections are discourages. See WP:TRIVIA. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 18:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Hot Rod member of G-Unit

Young Hot Rod Is now a member of g-unit he is the newest member.

Hot Rod is actually an artists on G-Unit Records, hes not a member of G-Unit. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 18:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Associated Acts

What determines who is an "associated act" with artist xyz? For example why is Joe in this category and not Mobb Deep? Dramatello (talk) 00:19, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't actually think that Joe belongs in the associated acts section. Ill change it to G-Unit Records because all artists on the label should be affiliated. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 18:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Why cause he did one single with him. Mcanmoocanu

Members of G-Unit

I changed the members. There are only 4 members of G-Unit (the group): 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, and Tony Yayo. Everybody else signed to G-Unit Records, not the group. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.167.232.148 (talk) 05:08, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Wasn't Mase a part of G-unit at some point? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.18.232.93 (talk) 06:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Mase and Hot Rod were both signed to G-Unit Records. They weren't actually in the group G-Unit. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 18:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Hot Rod was not in the group. But really neither was The Game. now DJ Whoo Kid is a member they even said he was. Mcanmoocanu
The only members of the group G-Unit were & are: 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck & The Game. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 08:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Albums section.

It may be because the album is still charting and was recently released and such, but I am not sure why the Beg For Mercy album seems to have a small paragraph, with regards to Yayo not being able to record most of the album; while T.O.S. only had it's release date, while possibly the Young Buck situation may be mentioned, albeit a short summary. I'm not sure, and it may be the same reason as the main Young Buck page (the recentism), but I'm not sure. Just my thoughts and wonderings. --JpGrB 09:32, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Former Members/Young Buck.

The ref that's provided for 50 "kicking" Young buck out of the group doesn't appear to be working anymore. If someone can fix this? --JpGrB 09:39, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Done! --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 13:10, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

On Current and Former Members of G-Unit

I believe that it would do well for the accurateness of your page to include that Olivia was a former member of G-Unit and, likewise, that Spider Loc, Young Hot Rod, Mobb Deep, and M.O.P. are the current artists signed to the G-Unit roster. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.132.171 (talk • contribs)

They aren't signed to the G-Unit group, they're signed to the record label. There is a difference. JpGrB 05:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Lets not forget that Young Buck is no longer a member of G-Unit but he still is currently signed to the G-Unit Records roster. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Antbanks1989 (talk • contribs) 20:05, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Sambav Sharma member on Lloyd banks page.

On the lloyd banks article which can be accessed from here it has: 

"Christopher Charles Lloyd (born April 30, 1982), better known by his stage name, Lloyd Banks, is an American rapper and member of the rap group G-Unit along with Sambav Sharma."

Just wondering if Sambav Sharma is actually a member or if it should read "50 Cent and Tony Yayo" Lochie mac4 (talk) 06:00, 16 June 2009 (UTC) 16/6/09 (Aus)

Semiprotection review

  • 17:40, 2 March 2008 Spellcast protected G-Unit ‎ (Perpetual vandalism [edit=autoconfirmed:move=sysop])

It's been just over 18 months. I'm reviewing this to see whether semiprotection is still necessary. As well as welcoming the opinions of regular editors, I've contacted Spellcast, the protecting admin. --TS 16:34, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Some BLPs naturally get bombarded with a constant flow of drive-by vandalism and this was one of them. I suspect this is still the case, but it's been over a year, so let's see what happens when the padlock is removed. Spellcast (talk) 16:57, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Bang Em' Smurf's mixtape

The article says that Smurf made a mixtape with 50 cent, what was the mixtape called. I cannot find it anywhere. I am also looking for the mixtape 50 cent did with Jam Master Jay. Thanks. Sp0 (talk) 02:55, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Gang affiliation

You can think they are a great group of musicians all you want. Perhaps they are, perhaps they are not. Remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But there have been allegations surrounding the group regarding possible gang affiliations. That's why I put "ALLEGED". The sources suggest (yes, SUGGEST) that they are involved in various criminal activities. The three sources I put involve former members, the record label, etc. I realize G-Unit records is not the group "G-Unit", but the article can further support the claim that they are involved in criminal activity.

I have 2 albums from the group on my media server at home. Some of their rap is good, but as it stands, it seems that many reputable sources believe they could be involved in criminal activity. Until someone completely proves or disproves the claim, it should stay as alleged.

If anyone feels it is too much to put it in the first paragraph, at least put it in a second or third paragraph/sentence, something along the lines of "There have been numerous allegations regarding criminal activity..." blah blah blah. And if not, then at least have a small paragraph on it in the contents.

If someone still feels that I am wrong, please discuss this before simply taking everything I did down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.149.45 (talk) 12:54, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

"Founding Members"

Doesn't Smurf count as a founding member? He did grow up with 50 Cent—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.116.240.90 (talk • contribs)

I dont think that Smurf and Domination where actually "Official" members of the group. Thanks --The-G-Unit-Boss 18:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
No, no, I don't mean offical members. Bang Em Smurf grew with 50, along with Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. And the beginning of the G Unit page begins with founding members, in which Bang Em Smurf is an actual founding member because he grew up along with them.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.116.240.90 (talk • contribs)
I understand what you mean, but Bang Em Smurf didnt actually form the group with them. It was purely Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and 50 Cent was it not. Bang Em Smurf was just affiliated with them. Thanks --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 09:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok so if Bang Em Smurf and Domination are not classified as official members, then shouldn't their names be removed from the "Former Members" part? If their names should be mentioned on former members, then Oliva should be mentioned as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.138.143.10 (talk • contribs)

Olivia was never in G-Unit. She was actually signed to G-Unit Records. Also we need a source to confirm whether Bang Em' Smurf and Domination were actually in the group before we make major changes because the article has included them for a long time. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 08:44, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's what I meant. Because Bang Em Smurf wasn't initially in the G Unit group, he is listed on this page as former members, indicated that he actually was a member of G Unit, when in actually he isn't, but he was signed to G Unit Records. Then Olivia, who was also not in G Unit, but signed to G Unit records, should be listed as well then. This would seem logical to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.116.240.90 (talk • contribs)

During the days of Bang Em' Smurf, G-Unit Records had not been established. It was founded after the release of Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. Also Olivia was never in G-Unit as a group she was on the record label like Young Hot Rod, Mobb Deep etc. We need to establish whether or not he was in the group G-Unit or just an affiliate --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 20:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok, before I say anything, This is not an arguement ok? I'm just saying. Ok so let's say that Smurf was an associate, and he is listed as former memebrs. Domination is also an associate but he is also listed as former members. Therefore, Olivia who was also not in the G Unit group specifically, but she was an associate. Shouldn't she be listed as former members by that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.116.240.90 (talk • contribs)

No this isnt an argument, just a disscussion lol. Rather than adding Olivia, we should remove the other two? --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 11:56, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, a disscussion. I think removing Domination and Smurf would be correct as it would be logical. The Game is, well to me, is the only Official former member of G-Unit. Removing The other 2 would be logical to do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.116.240.90 (talk • contribs)

Yes, but we need to find out if Bang Em' Smurf and Domination were actually in the group in the first place. thats what we dont know. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 11:46, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

It has never been officially said? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.138.137.5 (talk) 01:04, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

Bang Em Smurf and Domination acutually founded G Unit, 50 later joined. 69.209.148.66 (talk) 18:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, actually 50 Cent, Tony Yayo, Sha Money XL, Domination and Bang 'Em Smurf founded the crew, Lloyd Banks was too young.When 50 Cent was shot, Lloyd Banks proved himself as a good friend and was accepted to join the crew.In 2005 Olivia joined G Unit.Also in the following years Hot Rod, 40 Glocc, Willy Northpole and Carnegie joined in.When the crew got their first successes with some Mixtapes, Young Buck joined.In year 2005 when the album 'Beg For Mercy' came out also The Game joined the crew, at this time Tony Yayo was in prison because of illegal possession of firearms and forgery.
