here's 50's explanation for the yayo flop....And by company standards Yayo's album has to be considered a disappointment. While It moved 210'000 units its 1st week,2 months later,sales stood at 400'000, making it the 1st of g-unit's eight offerings not to go platinum.The problem? "so seductive," the lead single failed to ignite everywhere it was supposed to,costing the project invaluable support from parent company interscope. "The company is not used to to a record not automatically responding from g-unit and 50 cent," says 50 "So when it didn't respond in certain markets, they didn't react properly. We've never [before] been in a situation where we had to change a record." It's impossible, too that with 50 pulled himself in so many directions simultaneously----he spent much of last summer in toronto filming GRODT with acclaimed director Jim Sheridan--his artists will have to rely on each other as much as they do their boss.
And worse, MTV held its portion of the show until late in the evening, making him sit through an onstage jab from fat joe,who thanked g-unit for all the police prescence at the venue."The police prescence isn't there to protect me from them. The police prescence is to protect them from me," 50 says dryly,the boast so familiar that it hardly matters wheter or not its true. "They clowns man. Sometimes when kids touch things,you gotta spank their hand and tell and say don't do that." There were rumours of a backstage scuffle between g-unit and terror squad that night, but tony yayo, on the phone from new york puts it plainly:"Fat Joe? He did the Mookie Wilson.Ran out of there." 50 even sees the recent release of court papers detailing the plot hatched by one time queens druglord and murder inc. associate Kenneth Supreme Mcgriff to have him killed as a means of trafficking on his notoriety. "Regardless where they pick a juror from, the juror know's 50 Cent," he says analyzing the prosecution's strategy. And they'll understand this is the kind of person they need to keep off the street." (There's no love lost between 50 and preme. "They should let him out," says 50 so he can die in the street like he's supposed to. If he could touch down in the street and find out what the difference between 50 Cent without finances is and the new me...") "I can work against everyone feeling like i'm supposed to fail," says 50, "because originally that's the position that I come from."....
also speaks on game....."I was disappointed not only my judgement but Dr.dre's judgement,"he says ruing the decision to join Dre in executive producing the compton upstarts album, The Documentary,and lend an expert hand in hook writing. "Me and Dre don't really speak about it much. There's nothing really to talk about. Dre is the best producer I have ever worked with in my life, and you know what? His beats wouldn't have sold that kid's album.yayo also chimes in...."If I wasn't Tony Yayo, I would probably would diss g-unit too,"says Yayo, with characteristic bluster and self-effacing charm. "If I was broke in the hood,doing nothing, man that's how people are. My road manager got more money than Styles. Do the background check,man Are they purchasing?
