Untitled

Terminate on Sight is the second studio album from the rap group G-Unit. [1][2] The title of the album was originally announced to be Shoot to Kill and then Lock & Load[1], with the eventual name being Terminate on Sight. The album is scheduled for to be released on July 1,[3] 2008.

Background

It has been confirmed by G-Unit members that recording for the album is currently in progress.[4][5] It has also been confirmed by 50 Cent that Terminate on Sight will be the next G-Unit Records release after Curtis.[5]

Concept

The album's title has been acknowledged by HipHopDX.com who said "As the title suggests, they [G-Unit] aren't exactly aiming for joy." In an interview with MTV, Tony Yayo revealed the reason behind the title saying that it "describes the aggressiveness."[6]

50 Cent commented on the method of songwriting and recording that the group are using. He said:

We ran through 18 records. But what I was doing at that point was I was allowing them to make the same effort that they would make for mixtape material, for the album. So we’ll put portions of that material that were made during that time span on the actual street. It’s not going to do anything but build momentum.[7]

In another interview with MTV, 50 Cent spoke about the album. He said:

It's like a spinoff — the sequel to Beg for Mercy. It was a statement towards the competition, towards other artists. Terminate on Sight is the version where you get more aggressive. This record embodies that. I kinda know where I need to go, because I tested the waters with the material I put out. I get to tell with the response to certain records where I need to be and chill out from other stuff.[8]

Music

Recording

During an interview, Spider Loc mentioned that G-Unit have recorded seventy to eighty tracks which could appear on the album.[9] However in an interview with AllHipHop.com, G-Unit have stated that there is currently eighteen possible tracks which could make the final album.[7]

In an interview with MTV 50 Cent confirmed that Eminem, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland have all contributed to the album, with Eminem's track being the last to be finished.[10] He said:

We gotta work with Em, that's it. Then we can be done with it. Production-wise, I captured what I needed. But I didn't want to not have Em's stamp on it. We probably won't get his vocals until he's heard the full body of work and he's excited about it. Before my work [goes to the public], it has to pass the Eminem test, the Dr. Dre test — it's a few tests before we push them to the street. That's why they can expect a higher quality of 50 Cent music than the usual artist.[10]

Production

Tony Yayo confirmed that Timbaland and Swizz Beatz will be providing production for the album, quoting them as "the standout tracks" and his "favorites."[11] Tony Yayo has also confirmed that Ron Browz and Eminem have produced for the album.[7] In an interview with HipHopGame, G-Unit also revealed that production will be provided by Polow da Don as well as some relatively new producers.[12]

Songs

The first introductory track entitled "Wanna Lick" features Lil' Kim.[2][13][14] The collaboration was made possible due to Young Buck bringing 50 Cent and Lil' Kim together to reconcile, which ended the feud between the two artists that started shortly after "Magic Stick" was released in 2003.[13]

On April 1 2008, 50 Cent released "I Like the Way She Do It".[15] The track was officially released on Itunes on April 24 2008. The track is currently number 75 on billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.[16] [15] The track also debuted on at number 25 on billboard Hot Rap Tracks.[17] Rider Pt. 2 was officially released on Itunes on April 24 2008 and is currently number 98 on billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.[18]

In a recent interview, 50 Cent spoke about a song for the upcoming G-Unit album, titled "The Party Ain't Over". He stated this song was reminiscent of "I Get Money", and features G-Unit and Young Buck. In the same interview, he also played an unnamed Swizz Beatz produced track.[19]
