G-Unit Breaks Down The Beast Is G-Unit…

Young Buck on “I’m Grown”

“I brought ‘I’m Grown’ to the table and I think Banks brought that record to light, though. I had played around with the hook and then 50 had changed some things around and then I think Banks was the one who just really went crazy. Then we was like, ‘Okay, we all gotta get it together [laughs].

Lloyd Banks on “Doper Than My Last One”

“It’s crazy, I actually had that record for a few months and it was a situation where I had The Cold Corner, I was working on that, but it just made sense to keep things in order the way they were working because we planned this since June, since Summer Jam. The first conversation we had, this whole concept was there, so I wanted to make sure I got that just to keep the confusion from anything.

Tony Yayo on “Boy Boy”

When you hear the lines on there, that beat; Illmind, he just got a different kinda flow, so when I heard the beat, it just sounded like some old ’90s kinda flow on there. And I just got on there and he [nods to Banks] wrote the hook. Young Buck got on there and Kidd Kidd spanked it, but I had fun with that one right there.

I think My favorite line is when I said, ‘My money up when the mils come / I’m L.A. Reid with the dope, son / I’m Jimmy Iovine with the coke, son / Watch time fly by, now I’m an O.G. / Bad bitch with double Ds, n—- Jordan couldn’t palm these / Feel the breeze.’ So it’s just like now, being around Banks and Kidd Kidd and Buck and 50, you just get that energy. And then you got Banks, he’s just lyrical, he’s Top 5 dead or alive, P.L.K. [Punch Line King], I just like to come with my line and take my time.
