It's been over four years since G-Unit released Beg For Mercy, during that time a lot has happened to the Unit. Each have put out solo albums that all found moderate success, some more than others. The Game joined G-Unit, and got kicked out, and the latest departure is of course Young Buck. Now in July 2008 G-Unit have dropped their second studio album T.O.S. aka Terminate On Sight.
The album starts off with the hard hitting "Straight Outta Southside" which pays homage to the N.W.A. song "Straight Outta Compton". During the intro to the opening track 50 Cent sends out an R.I.P. to all of his enemies. As the albums continues it finds it hard to recapture the initial excitement it let off from the first track. "Rider Pt.2" see’s 50 put on his singing voice for the chorus, which usually doesn’t sit right but on this track it comes off well. The song is also one of the four to feature Young Buck.
While listening to the album many of the tracks just blend into one another; not many do much to stand out. Sadly the only time a song does tend to stand out is when the beat is just horrible. This is the case with track "T.O.S." and maybe one of the most unbearable songs to ever come out of the G-Unit camp, the Swizz Beats produced "Get Down".
The album only contains two guest appearances; "Let It Go" features a young Jamaican singer Mavado but the track is truly skip worthy. Ironically the "guest" that outshines 50, Banks and Yayo is the man who was removed from the group earlier in the year, Young Buck.
All in all another lack luster release from the G-Unit camp, apart from three or four tracks nothing great, or even good really came out of this album. – Morgan Eastwood
