SOHH Squad
[With G-Unit finally back together and pounding out new music, Young Buck talks to SOHH readers about his interest in living up to fans' requests by touring with other rap crews like Dipset and The Lox.]
I never had any open situations with anybody. A lot of the dudes that had issues or have issues, they separated themselves away. It was more of people saying, “I don’t have a problem with you.” And then with me being amongst 50 [Cent], I haven’t heard or seen anybody looking for problems with anybody.
I think at this point it’s pretty clear and understood that we all are good with where we are. But I think it’s important not just for us but for all rappers to get to this money and do the game like that.
There’s enough of this sh*t for everybody. There’s enough of this for everyone to be able to take care of their family. I feel like everyone is fighting to be number one. So you’re always going to have that competition and rivalry.
I think it’s good for the game. It’s good to have those situations. It’s almost fan competition because they like to see that. You can look at Dipset getting back together and then even the Lox, with how they move, all of the fans are talking.
People are talking saying, “What about a G-Unit versus Dipset tour,” and sh*t like that. It’s not that there’s a beef with G-Unit and Dipset, it’s a competition thing and that’s what the fans want. It’s all about the music.
I don’t want to leave that because I enjoy it. If it ain’t real I ain’t with it.
would be the 1st non homo tour in years.. prolly wont happen unless they let rae sremmurd open for em smh
lol.
I’m a big Unit fan. Respect the Lox and Dipset but you can’t even compare the effect those groups had on hip hop with 2003-2007. They ran those years in a way no one has since that era. I’m not even talking about which group is better musically, although Unit wins there too.
Far as I’m concerned, their new shit is top notch. Better than anything I hear today. Its just they probably cant get the kids to come to the shows like they could before so they trying to broaden the market. Stupid fucking kids would rather go see a rich homie quan concert
” I’m not even talking about which group is better musically, although Unit wins there too.”
I’m betting you’re a white kid in the suburbs who think 50 is the biggest gangster in the industry.. White ppl aren’t real hip hop heads.. Real hip hop heads now the lox musically are better
Not saying g unit is trash but only a bunch of white little kids would actually think g unit cross over success makes them better than the legendary lox group
bar for bar the lox got the unit as a whole. but song for song nah the unit is superior album for album the unit is superior. the lox my niggaz dont get me fucked up im a unit fan but i knew back when 50 dropped piggy bank that the lox was gonna get in his ass #nohomo. i had no doubt about it lol.. and they did just that they punished him and the unit diss record for diss record bar for bar. But overall they aint on the units level song making wise and i think i have even heard styles or jada say as much as far as the song writing side of it
ya Jadas checkmate was harder than anything 50 could say back to him. but if your comparing the catalogues, the unit group and solo projects shit on LOX.
I say checkmate was tough than 50 hit em with the i run ny joint and that killed checkmate imo. At that point 50 had them niggaz. than sheek dropped year of the wolf crakin off on the unit and styles and jada dropped shots fired (killed my man in that joint straight killed that nigga). and a problem child .. them niggaz got in fif business i fucks with 50 and the unit but i noticed 50 backed off of that beef fast as shit and went straight political up at interscope pushing niggaz albums back lol.. He seen them niggaz gettin in his business lol… that whole shit was funny it was entertaining and thats why hip is all about lol
Nah sun I would say it was a photo finish as far as who was the better group…at the end of the day The Unit flag reigned supreme though…imo.
Unit bettter than the lox? Boy go to sleep…i dont care how much they sold…first nobody can halfway fuck with jada..between styles and banks, tie..and i like styles better but jada is just a tornado on the mike
lyrically, LOX are better. But there’s a lot more to it than just lyrics. You have to compose a good overall song. And the Unit are all above average lyricists too other than Yayo. The catalogues can’t compare man I’m not even talking about sales. The run they had from 03 to 07 is unlike anything we’ve seen since.
Yeah “lyrically”…that is all that matters..lyrics.
two real NY groups getting together for a tour a tour of dudes who dont rock skinny jeans and call they homies bae or kiss they bosses in the mouth. damn i think the east finna make a comeback lol
never gonna happen
way too many egos
50cent would be doing the Lox and Dipset a favor if he toured with them. Why would one of the most successful hip hop artists in history tour with 2 other groups? lol.. Young Buck needs to slow his role with his “Opinions’. And just be glad 50cent is f*king with him again. That’s like saying Jay-z should tour with Foxy Brown and Dame Dash lol
Get this straight…fifty had two good albums…BIG had two great albums…i say this bc ur logic is fucked up…the lox and dipset been hot, at least cam waaaay before 50 even thought to blow up…so itll benefit them all
FLOCKA
