Wikilinks

Why are there so many red links in this article? I suspect they are former articles that have been deleted. If so, not much point in providing a link to a non-existent article is there? Escaper27 12:33, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, red wikilinks are not discouraged, they are here to point out that we need an article for these artists. Thanks --The-G-Unit-Boss 13:43, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I happen to know there used to be a shadyville entertainment article. what I mean is there is no point saying See main article xyz when it doesn't exist. Escaper27 15:17, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean, I was talking about the dead wikilinks on the artists, I will remove the 'Main Article' dead ones. Thanks --The-G-Unit-Boss 16:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Jones is currently signed to Columbia Records, which is owned by Sony. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.13.206.7 (talk) 21:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About the released albums

You forgot 50 cents latest album!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.211.169.246 (talk) 20:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but 50 Cent isn't signed as a solo artist to G-Unit Records. --J p G r B —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 21:31, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Goat47 (talk • contribs) 23:44, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Why?" Are you asking why he isn't singed as a solo artist to his own label? --J p G r B —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 23:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yaGoat47 00:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)Goat47[reply]

Well, if I had to think of a reason, my guess would be, because he's signed to Shady/Aftermath/Interscope. I mean, I can not give an actual reason, but it just is that he's not. --J p G r B —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 00:50, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well I think an artist can be only ajointed up to at least 3 lables, including the main major lable. In this case, the main major lable is Interscope. Eminem, also signed to Shady/Aftermath/Interscope, brought in 50 cent and agreed to Dr.Dre to signed him to their own major lables (Shady and Aftermath). Then 50 would have to be signed to Interscope fully, to be fully signed to Dre and Em's lables.

Also, I think he is signed as a group member in G-Unit, which means only his group albums are on G-Unit Records, while his solo work is for Shady/Aftermath/Interscope. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.112.120.133 (talk) 04:29, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Side note, Eminem is signed under Aftermath/Interscope. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.13.206.7 (talk) 21:08, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is more artists

Mazaradi FOX And 40 Glocc are signed in a label in g-unit records. Somebody need to add them. Here is information about Mazaradi FOX:http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=116278723 And here is some about 40 Glocc:http://www.myspace.com/40glocc And Nyce should be on the list to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.149.80.7 (talk) 18:56, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WHY HAESNT THIS BEEN DONE YET —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.173.225 (talk) 23:00, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because MySpace isn't a reliable source. --J p G r B 01:25, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unreleased albums

I happened to be looking and I have two questions. The first is, should the link to The Big Withdraw be taken away, seeing as it redirects to Lloyd Banks? And the second is regarding the other album, Olivia's album. On DatPiff the album is available as Behind Closed Doors (the Album We Never Received) and it is listed as being by "DJ Tre'i Starzz , G-unit , DJ Whoo Kid". Could the link be used as a source, or even to make it somewhat "released"? I'm not sure, which is why I'm bringing both questions here. --J p G r B 09:10, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There used to be an album about The Big Withdraw but it was deleted at an AFD. Also, regarding Olivia's album. DJ Tre'i Starzz isn't G-Unit's official DJ so it was released as a mixtape. It was never pressed up and released through Interscope. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 09:25, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, i had just been wondering if special notice could be made. --J p G r B 09:30, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

G-Unit Philly

Is G-unit Philly A Group Or A Record Label? At Least We Should Have It In —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.149.81.219 (talk) 14:47, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've never actually heard of "G-Unit Philly", is there any background information? The only thing I can presume is something to do with Freeway. --H E L LØ ŦH E R E 15:14, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rumors

Ther is going rumors about an g-unit records album wich will feature all of the artists. should we make an special notice? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.149.81.219 (talk) 09:38, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's rumors, we don't note rumors unless they're very notable for some reason. --H E L LØ ŦH E R E 03:05, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Young Buck

Buck is no longer apart of G-Unit. him and 50 have recently leaked diss track to each other, and the shit is all over youtube. so it makes it clear that buck is no longer of G-Unit or G-Unit records. If you don't believe me than look on youtube. you will see tracks that were leaked. so if you don't mind i will remove Buck from the current roster list. Mcanmoocanu 19:57, 08 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

50 and the other members have stated numerous time since that he is still a member of the record label, and as YouTube is rarely a reliable source, I'm fairly sure others would agree it not be used here. --H E L LØ ŦH E R E 03:04, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

50 cent booted both banks and buck of the label. Mcanmoocanu

Then show a source for it. He, and the others, (Banks and Yayo), have stated he's still signed just not a member of the group. --H E L LØ ŦH E R E 22:39, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a reliable source. --H E L LØ ŦH E R E 00:35, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a reliable source per WP:RS. Please read guidelines and policies, and no shouting please. Oh, and new sections belong at the bottom, which is why it's been moved.... twice. --H E L LØ ŦH E R E 18:55, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
