Tracklist

01 Watch Me
02 I Don't Fuck With You
03 Digital Scale
04 Dead A Pussy Nigga
05 Changes
06 The Plug

It's 5:20AM in LA right now and today's my the first day of school semester so I woke up a little early to go to gym and damn new G-Unit EP came out.

I gave it a spin and man great fucking first impression. The production are classy mafioso/grimey 2005 G-Unit sound.

Watch Me basically sets the tone for the rest of the EP and if this is how the new G-Unit album is going to sound, I'm definitely getting my copy at November.

Even Kidd Kidd came correct on this one, he must be learning from 50 and Banks. Dude sounds much better than his previous works.

Clearly you didn't even give it a try. EP had no filler, banged hard as fuck.

Cam had an EP out recently? I gotta check it out.

I got you playboy

Just give it a try. I don't think Kidd Kidd was that bad on this EP. He came correct on all 6 songs.



so is this their first release after leaving interscope or what?

Animal Ambition was their first release after Interscope. This is their second.

G-Unit - Watch Me Produced By @HavocOfMobbDeep Live On Chelsea Lately

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x24n97c_g-unit-watch-me-performance_music

You should really check this, that live sound with the guitar makes the track epic 8), they really should re-record it in the studio like this!

I find that with a lot of artists that were popular in the early 2000's that I may not have been feeling at the time. With how shitty your top of the charts rap music is today, it really puts it in perspective.

Not bad but let's be real...this shit don't bump like it used too. G-Unit is not seen the same way. They lost what they had. This shit don't hit anymore.

Why the fuck is Kidd Kidd in G-Uinit??
50 threw Buck under the bus ugly and now he's back doing G-Unit songs??
Tony Yayo was never really a part of their mainstream success and he's nothing but a cocksucker! (Beg for Mercy).
Lloyd Banks remains the same...cool.
50 Is a fucking fake and time proved this.

Does anybody here really believe what these fools are saying? GGGGG-Unit??? Yeah right! GTFOH! There's NOTHING REAL about this reunion. I can't even take them serious anymore. Fools are getting all wet over this sht?? All these queers had beef with one another at some point but now it's all good lol smh!!

Only place I see negative reviews about these tracks. No surprise though. Boston Celtic forums aren't going to post optimistic things about Kobe's return this year either lol.

I grew up in LA most of my life and even I don't have that much loyalty to Game. Good music is good music. And Game flipping over every now and then kinda make me believe 50's words rather than Game anyway.

Listened to 1st track. Not bad. Listened to the song Changes. 50 should stay away from this type of track. I just think of him taping Young Buck and other disloyal shit. Turned in off and put on Beg for Mercy. Now that's ggggg-unit!
