Last night was truly a night to remember in NYC (Big shoutout to
www.complex.com mag for getting me on the guest list so I could go to the show last night.) These last few weeks have been very busy and action packed for the legendary 50 Cent promoting his first independent album
Animal Ambition. Well there were no signs of fatigue in front of the sold out crowd at Webster Hall for his album release concert. Luckily for 50 he was joined by fellow G-Unit members to shut down NYC last night. YUP you heard it right, last night was the first G-Unit concert in years. This was the OFFICIAL G-Unit reunion, which was long overdue after the 7 year hiatus. Although they technically reunited at Summer Jam last weekend it was just a different type of vibe and feel last night.

Joined by Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck, and new official member of G-Unit Kidd Kidd 50 performed for over an hour and officially announced his return to the throne as the King of New York. 50 didn't miss a beat and looked right at home feeding off the energy of his fellow G-Unit members. If anyone was questioning if the Unit was actually cool with each other, those thoughts are all out the window now. Last night felt like 04' all over again (Yeah, I've been bumping G-Unit since I was 8 years old lol) for both the crowd and G-Unit members. Don't get it twisted it wasn't no joyfest G-Unit definitely kept it poppin and staticky like the old days. "N*gga f*uck all these other rappers it's G-UNIT" - Young Buck.. There was plenty of other quotes that stuck out during the night.They really didn't miss a beat at all. The setlist was perfect with the concert predominately being all vintage and cherished 50 and G-Unit mixtape songs. The best part about the night has to be that G-Unit enjoyed performing as much as the crowd enjoyed watching, you can tell all the members were really enjoying and soaking in the moment. They made sure to emphasize that they're back and playing no games. Between every song Yayo made it a habit of yelling out "THE UNIT IS BACK, G-UNIT IS BACK" It was really a special night for everyone in Webster Hall, it was just classic G-Unit. 50 proceeded to talk his sh*t throughout the night only difference is there was no Ebro to shut his mic off. In the middle of a mirage of G-Unit songs
How We Do came on and the crowd started rapping to it. 50 stopped the music and said "oh thats what ya f*cking with, what side ya on man, ya n*ggas confused me for a second" It was all fun and games for 50 and the Unit poking fun at every and everybody last night even ya boy Ja Rule.
"Damn homie in high school you was the man homie, what the f*ck happen to you", they did that line about 4 times in a row. At the end of the night the fans left very pleased and tired. 50 Cent and G-Unit had 3 encores, every time we thought the show was over the fans would start a G-UNIT chant and they'd come back out and perform more classic hits, it was just that kind of night. In classic 50 Cent style he ended the show like a boss " I want ya to get home safely there's a lot of police in the building courtesy of Slowbucks" *drops the mic*. What a classic night and a huge moment for 50, G-Unit and New York City.
Just a reminder everyone go cop that
