50 Cent Talks About One Thing He Would Have Done Differently With G-Unit
The hip-hop world couldn't help but rejoice when news broke of a long-awaited G-Unit reunion. After releasing their first group project in years and acting as XXL's latest cover stars, things continue to look up for them. 50 Cent, recently chopped it up with RollingStone to discuss some regrets of being the crew's frontman as well as reveal that Street King Immortal will indeed drop in 2015. But what's one thing 50 would of done differently with G-Unit?
"I wouldn't have built something that required me as their center," said 50 Cent. "I would've built it so it functions on its own. When you look at it, they've sold millions of records on their own. If they weren't so strongly associated [with G-Unit], they'd probably have crews under them. They didn't really have an interest in doing that because they [already] had a strong association and had so much fun in the position they were in at that point."
50 went on to discuss how his relationship with each of the members began to fade due to his growing lack of interest in the group. He recalls an event with Yayo that eventually opened his eyes.
"My interest wasn't there for a while," 50 tells Rolling Stone. "It took for Yayo to say things publicly to me that I didn't understand [at the time] for me to reevaluate everything. I did so much for them that he didn't have reasoning for it. It's not that I have a problem with them, but I know, when I assess everything that's happened overall in my life, some people have developed unbelievable senses of entitlement.
While his honesty might come off as blunt, 50 assures it would take "something extreme" to break up the group again.
