Feud with G-Unit

In early 2003, while 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Die Tryin' performed gymnastics on the Billboard charts, G-Unit’s general and highest ranking member, Bang Em Smurf, was caught an ill-timed weapons charge^{[citation needed]} over some local drama in his South Jamaica, Queens neighborhood while he was home from touring.

“Son left me for dead,” explains the 25-year-old Bang Em, who’s currently incarcerated in upstate New York’s Sing Sing Correctional Facility on that same weapons charge. “He didn’t send me nothing, and didn’t holler back at my peoples.”^{[cite this quote]} With help from his family, Bang ‘Em made bail, and upon release, used his keen business sense and street savvy marketing tactics to bolster his own movement- the newly-minted GF Records (Gangsta Flip). He quickly created a deafening buzz by flooding the streets with mixtape freestyles and scorching G-Unit diss records courtesy of an untapped well of talent named Domination — a younger cousin of deceased Lost Boyz hypeman Freaky Tah whom Bang ‘Em had been grooming since a teen — and who by this time had become the GF Records flagship artist.

Life after G-Unit

As the tension with G-Unit died down a bit, the labels took notice. Major labels wanted Domination, and so did independent labels, but eventually he and Bang'em opted to sign a lucrative worldwide distribution agreement with Koch Records. Total creative control and the ability to keep an unprecedented large percentage of the profit on each album sold were key factors in the completion of the deal.

And after experiencing various instances of industry blackballing at the hands of Curtis Jackson, Bang ‘Em and Domination choose to address the subject of their beef twice, on the self-explanatory “The Truth" and the Yukmouth track "He ain't a thug". Bang ‘Em, eager to prove he doesn’t need controversy to sell records, explains: “We're really just trying to make music. To me, all this 50 beef is overrated. Domination is talented, and makes good music, and that's what we wanna prove to the world.”^{[cite this quote]} Yukmouth (born Jerold Dwight Ellis, II October 18, 1974 in Oakland, California), is a rapper from East Oakland, California. ...

Though Bang ‘Em is still in jail until the summer of 2007, Domination has little reason to fret. His humble demeanor belies the confidence he has in himself. “I didn’t realize this was my calling,” he recollects. “It was a hobby to me. I was doing freestyles, and I was nice at it. I used to battle Tony Yayo on the block. I used to spit rhymes for 50; he actually stole a few of my lines. Smurf believed in me and pushed me to write songs. If you don’t believe my music, I’ll give you a copy for free, and then you tell me you don’t like it.”^{[cite this quote]} Tony Yayo (born Marvin Bernard on March 31, 1978 in Port of Prince, Haiti)[1] is an American hip-hop artist who is signed to the G-Unit Records label. ...
