[Hip Hop News Now] G-Unit Releases Song Addressing The Recent Killings By The Police “Ahhh Shit”


The irrational and unnecessary shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri has sparked a racially intensive fire across the nation.  The 18-year-old Michael Brown died after being shot six times by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.  Brown was unarmed and expected to start college in a few days. 


The FBI has opened a civil rights investigation of the shooting and President Barack Obama issued a statement giving his condolences to the Brown family.  Obama has also committed the U.S. Department of Justice to conduct an investigation.  But is this enough?  How long is the African-American community going to have to feel like victims in their own communities?  Young black men are treated as target practice by the local authorities and all this nation does is protect those who have committed these crimes. 

How much more pain does the black community have to endure before we are treated like people and not the beasts that we are portrayed to be? 

While riots and violence continue in Ferguson as a direct result of the killing of Michael Brown, many Hip Hop artists have given their support and sympathies.  Yesterday, G-Unit dropped a track expressing their feelings about police brutality and the absurd killings.  The song is titled “Ahhh Shit” and features the Unit’s Young Buck, Kidd Kidd, and 50 Cent. 


Check out the song below and be sure to weigh in on this issue.  I would love to hear your thoughts on not only this song, but also on these senseless killings by the police.

[Hot New Music!] G-Unit – “Loyal”


50 Cent and the G-Unit have been on a pretty impressive run since reuniting at this year’s Summer Jam festivities.  At first glance I thought that the reunion was just another brilliant scheme by Hip Hop’s biggest bully, 50 Cent.  That may still be the case, but with a November release date scheduled for an upcoming G-Unit album and with the crew bodying tracks left and right, this just may be something special happening right before our eyes.  Either way, it is great for Hip Hop.

In the last month the G-Unit has already tackled Drake’s “0 to 100”, HS87’s “Grindin My Whole Life”, Jeremih’s “Don’t Tell ‘Em”, and more.  Now the Unit is back this 4th of July weekend with their spin on Chris Brown’s “Loyal” track.  This song comes just two days after the Unit dropped a freestyle to YG’s “Who Do You Love” and less than four days after releasing their version of Future’s “Move That Dope.” 


G-Unit is definitely putting in that work and showing that their movement is much more than a game (pun intended).  Check out “Loyal” by G-Unit below and also for your listening pleasures I have included their versions of “Who Do You Love” and “Move That Dope”.  Peep the tracks and let me know what you think.  Feel free to comment via Facebook or Twitter.
