According to 50 Cent, a diss record is inevitable. In a recent interview with MTV he also spoke on the group's next album, T.O.S.
"Terminate on Sight," 50 continued. "It's like a spinoff — the sequel to [G-Unit's 2003 debut] Beg for Mercy. It was a statement towards the competition, towards other artists. T.O.S. is the version where you get more aggressive. This record embodies that. I kinda know where I need to go, because I tested the waters with the material I put out [on our mixtapes]. I get to tell with the response to certain records where I need to be and chill out from other stuff."
Last week, 50 shook the hip hop world when he informed everyone, including Young Buck, for the first time that Young Buck will no longer be in G-Unit, but he is still signed to the label as a solo artist. He just won't be involved in the group activities. But Young Buck will still be featured on the G-Unit album. Buck is featured on the album's first two singles "Rider Pt. 2" & "I Like The Way She Do It".
"He'll still be on those records," 50 said. "I wouldn't pull him off of the records. I like the records the way they are. He's on the [album] three or four times. He's not gonna be in the videos, but he can shoot [videos for] his solo project when he's done — when he gets himself together."
To give Buck the boot wasn't just General 50's idea. The group came to the idea collectively.
"We feel the same way," Banks said. "If 50 gets resistance, we get the same resistance."
"50 took him and made him who he is today," Tony Yayo explained. "Where I'm from, you don't bite the hands that feed you. I just get confused. I just remember not having nothing. I never will bite the hand that feeds me."
50 also went on to say he was recently informed that Buck also is currently using cocaine & sipping syrup.
"Buck's probably high right now," he said, adding sarcastically, "He doesn't even get high anymore — he just maintains his [high]. You have to get sober to be high," 50 said. "When they say, 'Party like a rock star,' he goes beyond what they are talking about. Multiple, different sh--."
50 also went on to address the "inevitable" diss record from Young Buck.
"That's inevitable, in confusion, you gonna try to do anything you can do to try and be aggressive. I predict he'll say disrespectful things as we move forward," said 50.
"Terminate On Sight" is set for a release date of June 24, same day as G-Unit's arch-nemesis, The Game.
