The crew’s newest Elf Rivera-director music video features the entire Unit.

50 Cent and G-Unit keep the momentum rolling this morning with the release of their new video for “Watch Me,” which was featured on their most recent EP, The Beauty of Independence. The release of this video comes one day after the group dropped by the Hot 97 studios for an epic freestyle session with Funkmaster Flex, in which they all took turns going in over various beats. Even with all this new material, the group isn’t planning on taking a break anytime soon, as they’ve already announced that their next EP is dropping in October. (Complex)

Watch the entire G-Unit tear it up in this new music video….

The Unit’s Lloyd Banks recently cited a lack of communication for putting distance between himself and 50 Cent.

“Me and 50 wasn’t talking for a while,” Banks said in an interview. “It was a lack of communication on both our parts. I don’t know what to chalk it up to. We been doing this for a long time. Over ten years. Went from being in a condo just planning over what we wanted to happen and to watch it play out…It wasn’t just me and 50. It was points me and Buck didn’t talk.” (“The Breakfast Club”)

Tony Yayo also explained what tore him away from the Unit head.

“G-Unit is the gift and the curse,” Yayo said in the interview. “I got emotional one day. You know I’m gonna tell the truth. [laughs] I got light-skinned on y’all. I got emotional and said, ’50 don’t rock with us,’ you know what I’m saying? I was going through a lot. But you see, the media took what I said — and blew it up. Everybody started running with it and got crazy with it. That’s all that was.” (“The Breakfast Club”)

Although the Unit had fallen apart in recent years, reunited member Young Buck recently promised his band of brothers were built to win.

“Don’t look for the downfall of G-Unit,” the rapper said. “Cause you’ll be looking for a long God damn time. You understand? But looking for the success of G-Unit you’ll get what you want to see real quick. But looking for the downfall homie you gon’ be stuck…Don’t pray on our downfall or look for it. Look for the success. Look for the good music. Look for the positive energy. And that’s what you gon’ get. Because even if you ain’t looking for it that’s what you gon’ get.” (This Is 50)

  1. People are quick to say 50 isn’t “Relevant” but has anybody’s name been on this site and all over other “hip hop” sites more than 50 since the Summer Jam Show & Animal Ambition Dropped in June????

    • Hell Nah, this nigga inspires me with his work ethic and hussle. And these niggas putting out good music

    • EXXXXXXACTLY BRO…
      LMAO
      Like the nigga hustle really inspire me in my field of business… it’s aggressive, comical, and the nigga is territorial like marking up turf or taking over. I see 50… no I ain’t cop that sms audio or animal ambition but brotha did cop the G Unit EP cause this shit they putting out has the masculine energy ALL FUCKED UP… i.e. Young Thug faggot ass

  2. I like their energy, and how their beat selection is different than whats popular today.

  3. Articles about Twitter and speaking on everybody’s issues = relevant these days. Meanwhile he skims over missing his son’s graduation. Suge being shot and breaking up with Mayweather are more important issues though.
