Tony Yayo Speaks on G Unit

koskerou · 09-30-2008, 12:30 PM

Tony Yayo recently talked about why he believe G-Unit’s joint album TOS Flopped:
“Ain’t no love in the industry,” Yayo added, addressing the reception to the G-Unit group effort T.O.S. “You just have to be business-orientated. T.O.S. was a good album. The streets loved it. It wasn’t commercial. And basically, it’s something on the catalog; we go to the next project. I feel like a new artist right now. I feel like we’re starting all over.” Yayo said that the low sales for Terminate on Sight have only driven the Unit’s captain to make some of his best work to date. Still, Yayo said the meager SoundScan showing last time around had nothing to do with his camp’s musical quality. “T.O.S., I feel like sometimes the things that 50 and Jimmy Iovine go through trickle down on us,” Yayo said.
“50 is the kind of person, he has so much power and money, sometimes I think the label gets intimidated by that. None of his artists have to starve. Me and Banks and Buck, we all was good. If Interscope don’t wanna throw me an advance, I can always get the quarter mil, half a mil from Fif. I feel [T.O.S.] wasn’t marketed, period. Even with the iTunes, people tried to order the album, they couldn’t order the album. We had weak preorders. We didn’t go on a good promo run. … 50 has one more album left [on his Interscope contract]. If you’re Jimmy Iovine or somebody, when you know you have that leverage, why not let the G-Unit album fail so we can give you less money if you come back to negotiate with us? If the album does well, I have to give you more money.”
