T.O.S.: Terminate On Sight
(G-Unit)
Reviewed by Nathan Rabin
July 8th, 2008
At this point, getting kicked out of G-Unit might just be a better career move than hanging by 50 Cent's side. Since getting rudely booted from the Vitamin Water pitchman's silly little clubhouse, The Game and Young Buck have been ubiquitous in the hip-hop press, while the other guy (Lloyd Banks) and the other other guy (Tony Yayo) bombed with solo albums and are widely seen as little more than 50's loser sidekicks. The once-fascinating, now-tedious gangsta-rap superstar's creative losing streak continues with G-Unit's dreary new posse album Terminate On Sight.

An album-opening cover of "Straight Outta Compton" titled "Straight Outta Southside" serves notice that fans seeking originality and fresh ideas should look elsewhere—yet it emerges as one of the disc's best tracks, largely by default. The disc's other standout track, "Rider Pt. 2," hops shamelessly onboard the Autotune bandwagon with 50's Vocoder-esque hook and nifty second-generation G-funk production from Rick Rock. Otherwise, the album alternates forgettably between derivative gangsta rap, labored humor, and fatally unsexy sex jams. "Kitty Kat" is the worst offender, with its asinine call-and-response between an anonymous hoochie whining "Owww, I need cash for my kitty kat" and the fellas responding with "I get pussy for free, so I'm hitting that." The title for 50's next solo album is reportedly Before I Self Destruct, but the increasingly predictable superstar doesn't seem in danger of imploding. He's just gotten boring, which is a far worse crime in the personality-driven world of gangsta rap.

the album sucked, it sold like it deserved, and you people are getting all emotional defending a shitty album. calm down

i didn't say it sucks because it didn't sell a lot. I said it sucks AND it didn't sell a lot. Sometimes things are good, and don't sell a lot. Sometimes things are bad, and do sell a lot. But every once in a great while, something that sucks also flops commercially, and that is what happened with TOS. It is a terrible album, no matter how emotional you get over it

let me repeat myself.....SNOOP ENVIES G-UNIT....now stop acting like a stupid hater that has nothing to do in his life....otherwise just explain to me how TOS was a wack album.....its the hardest shit of the year so far.....and its better than ur "Ego Trippin"......now quit that bullshit hating around cuz u do that with other gunit albums as well.....i would neg u for a second time if i could......

jdubz711 · 07-15-2008, 05:14 AM

man all you guys need to shut up and face the facts that sexual eruptions right and g-unit has fell off. g-unit sucks and everyone knows it and thats why no one bought the album.

dbone609style · 07-18-2008, 02:49 AM

TonyMontana131 · 07-24-2008, 07:28 AM

smh @ g unit groupies... i bet if 50 asked you would suck his dick! lol and niggas get all mad with tears in their eyes when sensible mothafuckas tell them how bad g unit is.... this is nowhere near beg for mercy quality.. this shit was boring.. nothing stood out to me... and as far as brizzle calling it a "classic"? ha! go listen to soulja boy and never ever ever ever ever again express your opinion on hip hop on this forum... and about snoop being "envious" of gunit, you must have a fat 20 piece in your pipe.. i wont even touch it.... when you graduate from middle school and get older and look back at how stupid you were and what horrible taste you had in music, i hope youll admit to yourself that TOS sucked and where you're supposed to have a sack, there's actually a vagina
