50 Cent Says He Doubts There Will Be A G-Unit Reunion, Explains Why He Talked Business With Manny Pacquiao & Speaks On His Relationship With Floyd Mayweather Jr. [Video]
Video After The Jump
50 Cent returned to Ear Candy Mornings yesterday to sit down for a chat with Renada Romain. The two talked about how well the single "My Life" is performing, people doubting his music and if we will see a G-Unit reunion with Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks.
"Probably not," 50 said of the possibility of a G-Unit reunion. "You got people that grow in different directions. I've offered everything I could offer to G-Unit. I allowed them to be in front of my audience the entire time to develop their own fan base and have people recognize their attributes. And their defects at that point so what do you do? I don't care what other people want. I could give a f*ck if they want a G-Unit reunion. You can kiss my motherf*cking a$$ as far as that's concerned. I think when we get to the point [about] something the public is saying, it's a trend. It's an idea that one person had that other people are following. When did [G-Unit] dissolve? It dissolved as they didn't actually support the projects."
50 also discusses his relationship with Floyd Mayweather Jr., positives he's taken from their friendship and why he was discussing business with Manny Pacquiao at one point.
"My communications with Manny Pacquiao and his team was for Floyd Mayweather," Fif explained. "The company itself was initially being created to be a bargaining chip that they could actually split and look at it like it was a retirement plan. When you have a fighter that doesn't make money off anything but fighting and they're in that cycle of get the money, spend the money. You know that it's a comfortable flight, but the plane has no wheels. When it does land, it will crash land. So, if I'm sitting there and I'm trying to create that thing that's in between that allows them to be around what they're passionate about. And that's the sport of boxing. They've put everything into it. When I build it and you decide you don't wanna do it. When there's no income away from anything else but boxing and you know you can't fight forever. And you're saying 'I got 2 of 3 left in me.' And you see the actual fighter not fighting the toughest opponents. And navigating like 'let me fight who I think I can win [against].' When you see those decisions being made you go 'OK, hold up... let me start thinking about your exit strategy.' If that doesn't pop up then you don't have any logic with the way you view your life."
50 later predicts who he thinks would win if Manny and Floyd ever fought.

50 is right about people not supporting G-Unit. People are always calling for new G-Unit music, but when the projects drop they don't buy them. What is he supposed to do about it? He can't spend his whole life trying to make Yayo hot, and Banks has been doing well with the mixtapes but, commercially, things just ain't working out so great because the so called "fans" don't actually fork out and buy the music. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is. I can respect 50's stance on that.
Fact is, most of us know "Street King Immortal" might do alright, but it isn't going to do THAT well. Sucks to admit it, but you know it's true. Hip hop is all about trends and right now, 50/G-Unit is out of fashion. It's only us, the "loyal fans" who are still checking for G-Unit music, everyone else has moved on.

I think what 50 is saying is y should he put all the work in to make g unit hot again, when it was him who made them hot in the 1st place.

I think he was saying that the public can't pressure an artist into doing something that the artist isn't feeling. If that were the case, it would be going along with the flow or trend instead of an authentic artistic creation. As for his music, the type of gift that we know is within him does not go away. I think it's just a matter of getting into the mental space that allows access to it. It's hard to stay in that space when you have so much going on, but it doesn't go away.

@unitg, if that were true, why was BISD so underwhelming? Didn't he release a mix tape prior to that release? Also, I think this "I don't give a f**k " notion is somewhat of a front to mask his fustration with the lack of success of his last few projects. Think about it; when he was in the spotlight he was the self proclaimed "Mr. Interscope", "I run NY", "I stop artist release dates", & now it's " I don't give a f**k"? Any other artist would've been written off as irrevelvant at this point according to 50, but now that he's feeling the same affects that he took satisfaction in when it came to other artist, now it's "I don't give a f**k". Sorry, but I'm not buying that.
