For this release, G-Unit was composed of rappers 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck, with support from Tony Yayo, who was an original member of the group but due to his imprisonment in 2002 only appears on two songs.

"[3] As the album was recorded, Tony Yayo was sentenced to jail on charges of gun possession and bail jumping, and so he makes only two appearances on the entire record, on the tracks "Groupie Love", and "I Smell Pussy".

He does however make cameos in the videos for singles "Wanna Get To Know You" & "Poppin' Them Thangs".

Its bow was moved up from November 18 to thwart piracy, as was Beg for Mercy.

[6] By April 2008, it had sold over 2.7 million units in the U.S.[7][8] and has since been certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA.
