Remy Ma Denies G-Unit Records Rumors
By: Yves Erwin Salomon
The Terror Squad's Remy Ma had a very public beef with Fat Joe and SRC Records CEO Steve Rifkind last month because she felt the two men weren't putting enough time and energy behind her debut album, There's Something About Remy. Reports began to surface that she might be leaving the Terror Squad to record for Fat Joe's rival 50 Cent and his G-Unit Records. But last Friday (March 17th), Remy Ma's management released a statement denying that the rapper was making a move to G-Unit Records. The statement read, "We definitely haven't heard anything about this and she's still signed to SRC/Universal."
Prior to the release of Ma's debut last month, Fat Joe explained how important the project was: "Where that puts us is in a hard position because Lil'Kim's first album that Biggie did with her is phenomenal. Foxy Brown's first album is phenomenal, so Remy has to make a phenomenal album. We understand what we need to do, you know, so she can be legendary and she can be, you know, hands down the greatest chick in the game."
Remy Ma was discovered by the late Big Pun in the late 90s and signed to Rifkind's Loud Records. Ma later re-signed with Rifkind at SRC Records after Loud Records was dissolved.

"ALLOW ME TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF"...
Its been a young minute sense I holla'd at yall at "Tre H", R.Motions, what tha fuck is really good, Fam. But enough 'a that cool shit, I wanna throw somethin' at yall on this Remy shit that'll fuck ya head up. Ok, so ya'll know I aint tha biggest fan of tha G-unit juggernaut right now. I respect they success, but all that dick ridin' goin on over there got me itchin' for somebody to knock 'em off they pivot. Now, that bein said, I must admit that Remy aint doin shit over there wit Terror Squad. A female rapper always has to have a strong male rapper with her. Kim had Biggie, Fox had Jay and Nas, and Remy woulda had it wit Pun. Joe is a well respected but only decent rapper, and the rest of the roster is non existant. I think it would be a good move for her to go to G Unit, they need a female MC. Remy's whole steez fits them well. Her flow complements 50 & Banks well, and GUnits access to top quality production is unparalled. If i were her, Id jump ship. I know it sounds shady, but she don't wanna end up like Shawnna, Rah Digga, Charlie Baltimore, Vita, and a whole host of good female rappers who never got they name out to be remembered.

I so agree with you as far as remy ma going to G unit. Remy Ma is way too advanced for terror squad. If remy was going at fat joe she would murda him. She needs someone like 50 to put her on the right track. Banks and Buck would complement her sound so much better and with 50 on the beats there is no way this girl couldn't sell millions. Remy Ma is in fact the hottest female rapper out. She keeps is so street and so hood how could she not represent the true meaning of hiphop. REMY IF YOU READ THIS: You fans would like to see you make that move!!! G UNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT FOR THA RECORD, THO...
IF JOE COULD FIND A NEW NIGGA TO SPIT ALONG SIDE REMY, GIVE HER A LEGIT TAG TEAM PARTNER, THEN SHE COULD STAY. REALLY REAL, TERROR SQUADS BEATS STAY ON POINT, ITS JUST UNFORTUNATE THAT JOE DON'T GOT THA CHARISMA TO CARRY THA WHOLE TEAM ON HIS SHOULDERS. TRUE, HER FLOW DOES COMPLEMENT BANKS AND FIF, BUT THATS CAUSE SHE CHANGED HER FLOW TO WHAT WAS POPULAR AT THE TIME (NAMELY, GUNITS). REM WASN'T RAPPIN WIT THAT HUMMIN',SLURRED MOUF SHIT SHE'S BEEN KICKIN SINCE "LEAN BACK". SHE SAID IT HERSELF ("FLOWS JUST CHANGED, NOW WE GONNA CHANGE THA GAME"). WHEN SHE DROPPED "MS.MARTIN" ON PUNS JOINT, SHE WASN'T RYMIN NO WAY LIKE THAT. AS FAR AS THA CHICK "STEPHANIE" GOES, IM AGAINST GUNIT GETTIN ANY MORE POWER. ON ONE HAND, AS I CAREER MOVE FOR REMY, ITS A GOOD LOOK, BUT AS A FAN OF THA WHOLE RAP GAME, FUCK GUNIT. I KNOW THATS HATIN, BUT I GREW UP WHEN THERE WERE ALL TYPES OF TEAMS WAS DOIN THEY THING. WHETHER IT WAS BADBOY/DEATHROW/WUTANG/BOOTCAMP/QUEENSBRIDGE (NAS,AZ,MEGA,MOBB DEEP,ETC) DAYS, OR THA ROCAFELLA/RUFFRYDER/CASH MONEY/TERRORSQUAD& VIOLATOR TIMES, I MISS THA DAYS WHEN I HAD SOME REAL OPTIONS. GUNIT GOT TOO MUCH ON LOCK. DBLOCK IS UNFORTUNATELY NOT A FACTOR DUE TO LOW VISABILITY, CAM AND DIPSET ARE MAKIN' JACKASSES OUTTA THEMSELVES WITH ALL THEY NONSENSE, ROC-A-FELLA NO LONGER EXISTS (TILL BEANS STARTS RECORDIN' AGAIN, AT LEAST), AND TERROR SQUAD ONLY GOT 2 RAPPERS. CASH MONEY'S A RAP OTHA THAN WAYNE, SWISHAHOUSE GOT NIGGAZ JUMPIN SHIP ER'TIME THEY GO PLAT. DTP AND P$C AINT SHIT WITHOUT LUDA OR TI, AND I DARE A MU'FUCKA TO BRING UP BMF OR BLACK WALLSTREET. THA FEDS IS GONNA HAVE THEM DUMB NIGGAZ ON SOME MURDER,INC. SHIT AT ANY MOMENT, AND TRUST ME, THEM CHARGES'LL STICK. ID RATHER SEE SOME NEW SHIT COME UP, NIGGAZ LIKE SAIGON, Lil'WAYNE, GAME, PAPOOSE,SLIM THUGGANIGGA,TRU LIFE, BUILD A TRUE TEAM AROUND THEM AND LETS GET SOME NEW BLOOD AND FRESH COMPETITION IN THA GAME AGAIN. SHIT, IM STARTIN TO GET REALLY BORED...

Caecar I respent your knowledge on hip hop and yes I do also think that 50 is conglomorizing the whole game but 50 is not looking for people to like him or what he is doing but to like his music. 50 is a natual born hustler and will try to flip anything he does and make it a hustle and you can't knock him for that. Me personally if I could do it that way and make a name and an empire for myself why not?? Everything this nigga has been touching since he dropped (commerically that is) has turned to gold (or plat.) I am not saying that G unit is the best group or 50 for that matter(but i do think that), what i am saying is that he has been consistant. Those groups that you named I don't disagree one bit with you but the only reason these dudes and groups are going to continue floppin is because they have no game plan and they are not TRU hustlas. Like camron says "I respect the hustlas and the grindas." I could hate your music and hate you as a person but I cannot get mad or hate if what you are doing is bringing in that paper at the end of the day. These companies in the "real world" have their businesses all over the place shutting the little companies down and it is legal yeah some people don't like it but they care.... Naw at the end off it all it is about the paper. That is how real niggas get down. Don't bash me for my comment just respect it.
