Young Buck is Officially Out of G-Unit

Tuesday April 8, 2008
It's official. Young Buck is no longer a member of the rap group G-Unit. 50 Cent put months of speculation to rest when he broke the news on New York's Hot 97 FM yesterday. "You can take this as official notice," said 50. "You can look at that and see that's Game all the way," he said of Buck's recent acts of disent. "I was giving him the benefit of the doubt then." Game was kicked out of G-Unit in 2005. I wonder how long before we hear Young Buck and The Game on the same track. That should be a good collaboration.

THATS CRAZY!!! Buck is one of the hottest in G-Unit, and he just now starting to make great music. Banks and Buck are G-Unit, 50 and yayo dont…

I see there are a lot of smokers posting comments. Buck did not make the group, the original members had it popping way before buck got kick out of cash money. 50, banks, yayo had it popping from 1997 (underground) until now (main stream) cut it out. Buck is o.k. but g unit will sell without him trust me when i tell u this

(14) Vixen James says:

I feel son black. G-unit was on from the moment they hit the mix tape scene. They have all established themselves as solo artist. Remeber the wu-tang clan. G-unit will always be in the streets. Everyone, game included will be just fine. Oh yeah and Carmen ms 50cents, maybe if you spent less time surfing an more time reading, you could spell. Don’t be mad at substance boo. It’s a blessing.

Man, young buck was the oinly boi holding that click up, banks flunked, Mobb D Copped out, 50 cent bet against Kanye and couldnt pray to win, he pulled out(Luckily) and still got smashed. Young buck put g-unit into the southern heat wave, and ripped it up with his mixtapes. And who does fifty think he is playing wit a mans heart felt emotions like that by putting it on the net, that was weak and dirty man. Young buck was the man in that click, and should get the respect that he deserves. GET EM BUCK!!!

(20) Jay-Z says:

50 sucks men, his rap sucks as whenever he rap is very hard to hear the words out. I used to like 50 a lot but honestly speaking throwing Buck out of the game is really bad idea. Because Buck is G-Unit, nigga is hot in all the gang. There is NO G-Unit without Buck. 50 or Curtis you better run quick and bring nigga Buck back before is too late for you men.

i dont think its tha bad 50 cent and the game had beath with eatch other but tht is over now the game said so him self it will probs just happen again but with buck

(25) Robert says:

I think that 50 was right in a sense that just shows disloyalty here you are in a group and you start being friends with the enemy and I do know where buck is coming from game was like family at one point of time so how can you just stop talking to somebody just because 50 has beef with this certain person I guess they should just have a reunion for all of them to see if they can get the group back to where it use to be in 2003 much success to all of them
