G-Unit Clothing Breaks Ties With Mark Ecko
Rumors swirled that the rapper’s four-year-old clothing company was on its last leg with Ecko, and on Friday morning, staffers at G-Unit Clothing were notified that they would be let go.
Earlier this week, hip-hop news maven Miss Info reported on her Web site that 50 would likely retain complete ownership of the brand and attempt to relaunch the line with another manufacturer.
Problems with Young Buck, MOP & Olivia gone and now this, what’s good with G-Unit?

I never even knew G Unit was under Mark Ecko. Either way you can’t argue much with 50’s success rate. Besides any clothing manufacturer can make a shit that says G Unit on it.

m.o.p couldnt come out with a album beacuse they had issues in m.o.p not b/c of 50 he wanted to realese tha album same with olivia she couldnt come with any hit records so he had to drop her he was ready to release her album to

Ain’t no surprise here,actually I’m surprised it lasted this long.
LOL @ them tank tops with the bra straps.
Nobody wears G-unit clothing outside of G-unit,soon G-unit the label is also going to be folded.
February 8th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
i hope its gone for good, he doesnt need it.
February 8th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
ur moms good with g unit
February 8th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
that clothing was as wack as he is.
so stop the comparisions wit jay and puff
sean john and rocawear aint goin nowhere
gunit clothing went the way of willie esco clothing
so i guess everything that glitters isnt actually gold
he acts like its all good, but his money aint as long as we think it is.
the label is next, he cut off the rappers free features, tryin to sell that house real quick, records aint selling.
the future might not be so bright for 50 after all

more like ecko breaks ties with g-unit
February 8th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
who still wears G-Unit? (beside stans)
February 8th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
G-Unit is slowly but surely crumbling.
February 8th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
it was a 50/50 deal with ecko
ecko was basically getting half and g unit clothing was 30% of ecko earnings.
50 obviously thought it smarter to cut ties and get a better deal somewhere where he can have more profits.
but you young fuks don’t get that do you?
February 8th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
G-unit’s clothing comany sucked anyways not a big L to ecko
February 8th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
I’d wear FUBU or Vokal before I wear G-unit.Shit I’d wear a Mater P sneaker before rocking G-unit kicks.

Realtalk and everyone else peep this latest statement from Marc Ecko’s Complex website it says G unit still going
Four years ago, Marc Ecko Enterprises (“MEE”) launched the G-UNIT clothing line as a joint venture with 50 Cent. MEE is proud of what it accomplished since inception of the brand, but a decision has been made to explore transitioning this brand to a different apparel company in the coming months. Consistent with current industry-wide practice, there has been a consolidation in staffing within MEE and its G-UNIT division. Having merged specific functions, MEE will continue to sell and distribute the G-UNIT line, support the brand, and service its customer base. This will enable a smooth and seamless transition of the clothing brand in the event 50 Cent finds a new partner. Additionally, within MEE’s celebrity-brand division, a number of new and exciting partnerships are currently under negotiation, and are expected to be announced in the coming months. These initiatives, among other exciting ventures within the organization, will fuel the continued growth and success of MEE.

whoever wore them gunit brazere tops outside was a homo lol how the fuck u drop a rainbow wife beater wtf was marc ecko thinking
February 9th, 2008 at 7:50 am
nobody really found G-Unit clothing cool to wear it is not on the same level as roc-a-wear or sean jean because you could wear them without liking Diddy or Hov but with G-Unit clothes they were not casual enough so unless you are a 50 stan you wouldnt wear those clothes.
February 9th, 2008 at 9:41 am
Who the FUCK wars Ecko or G-unit???Lmao only “wiggers” wear that bullshit. Put that wack shit to rest. Fuck ecko too niggaz that cant dress wear ecko as well. Both cam eat shit.

February 9th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Its funny how everyone comes on here and says G-Unit is dead and fuck them and this and that but every time there is a post about 50 or anyone in the Unit, it somehow gets the most comments and is the most viewed. You guys need to come to grips with reality and realize that G-Unit is still hot and they hold a special place in your heart. They’ve now become a part of your everyday living and you need them in your lives. Im sure yall niggas be at work or school and be thinking..”damn…I wonder what fif and dem doing right now?” Thats why you come here to check if realtalk posted anything about em. Get real niggas. No matter what happens to em ya still love em. No homo
