50 Cent announced last Saturday the launch of his new imprint, G Note Records. VIBE spoke with the label’s flagship artist Hot Rod about how the deal came to fruition.
50 sat us all down—me, Spyder Loc… everyone. He told us straight up, ‘You got to make yourselves hot. I can’t just be doing everything.’ He wanted to see what we could do independently. This was back in ’07. G-Note has been established, but we just didn’t go public until now. The whole plan was to put out ‘Dance With Me’ as the first single on G-Note. I’ve been touring worldwide since 2007 and hit over 20 countries on my own. All the influences from the road, that’s what really took me into this new lane.
Hot Rod “Discusses”
XD
I just cant respect a rapper that wears wide receiver gloves…smh
@ Hot Rod
Who the fuck are u?
Way back since game stole the be easy beat (I think mjb on it) I couldn’t listen to this bs . G note records equals dudes fif don’t want on g unit but can make a living. Spider(wtf with the y now come on ) has always been trash only verse I felt him on was 300 shots…50 just concentrate on your own ish for a minute… You never know you might get your old fans (wayne stans ) back… Zoom zoom inc!
idk who dis dude is but good look n dance wit me sounds weak
Whatever happened to Spider Loc anyway??
Quite possibly the gayest rap name ever,Hot rod? Sounds like a faggot.

@ HOT ROD @ 50 CENT
3 YEARS OF TOURIN’ WORLDWIDE AND YA’LL COME UP WIT THAT WACK EURO-TECHNO AUTOTUNE BULLSHIT “DANCE WITH ME”??? THAT’S THE LANE??? HA!!!! THAT’S WUT’S WRONG WIT U RECORD LABELS!!!! YA’LL ALWAYS FUCKIN’ CHASIN’ FADS THAT ARE ONLY HERE SHORT TERM!!!! SO AFTER THAT EURO-TECHNO SHIT OVER THEN WUT??? YA’LL GONNA RIDE ON THE NEXT FAD??? FIF AIN’T A GOOD SCOUT AT FINDIN’ TALENT!!!! THAT’S WHY G-UNIT CRUMBLED AND G-NOTE WILL CRUMBLE AS WELL!!!! WHO U FOOLIN’ CURTIS??? HA!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
@ Mac Diesel
Whats the alternative tho, really??
Make an album that all the hip hop heads online love that sells 5 copies……….
I mean, the Gay Hot Rod Dance wit me shit is gay no doubt, but at least theres a 50% chance some girls might buy that………… Making a Hardcore Hip Hop record and then trying to sell it is a waste of time………..Your album could be called “Reasonable Illmatic” and it will go double copper after everybody downloads
G note and the artists will flop.Hot Rod and Spider has been signed to g-unit for 4years and never dropped an album,just mixtapes and bullshit songs.They will never blow up
@mac DIESEL
Good point!!!
Cause if labels knew how to scout talent instead of jumpin on the next hot thing,
They’d have stayin power and the money would fall in place.
But then again,
Thats what its all about:
The Quick Dollar!!!
now if that was the black eye pies that came out with that song everyone of u would be in his dick, haters. it is to late to hate on 50 and his crew. he has to much money
This song has NO buzz, so much for G note records.
G-NOT RECORDS= 50 CENT’S TAX PAY OFFS.. SMFH NO 1 IS GONNA LISTEN TO HOT WHEELS AND SPIDER JOKE
THREE WORDS: GAY PORN STAR!!! #FAIL
‘You got to make yourselves hot. I can’t just be doing everything.’
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I’m a fan and everything, but Fif, stop being a hypocrite. By 2007 things were already goin downhill n shit.
Never thought ide see the day where G-UNIT would be done. Wow! Just wow. They are actually finished. 50cent fell off!
@ Mitch 3K
“What’s the alternative tho, really?”
THE ALTERNATIVE IS U HAVE TO HAVE THE BALLS TO NOT CHASE THE QUICK DOLLARS AND FADS AND ACTUALLY PUT OUT GOOD PRODUCT!!!! WUT’S WRONG WIT NOT DOIN’ WUT EVERYBODY ELSE DOIN’??? CUZ EITHER WAY U GO, IT’S GONNA BE A HIT OR MISS ANYWAY!!!! U CAN CHASE FADS BUT THAT DON’T MEAN IT’S GONNA SELL!!!! THAT’S WUT’S WRONG WIT THE INDUSTRY!!!! THEY AIN’T GOT THE BALLS!!!! THEY RATHER PLAY IT SAFE AND DO WUT EVERYBODY ELSE DOIN’!!!! ONLY A SMALL FEW ARE ACTUALLY FINDIN’ GOOD TALENT AND PUTTIN’ OUT GOOD ARTISTS!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
somebody wake me up when this G Note thing is over
Who the hell would want pay to see this dude perform? he’s only released one single and has never put a record out!
it’s actually amazing that he’s even signed to anyone
@ Vann Figital Networks
I KNOW IT’S A BUSINESS OF SELLING RECORDS AND MAKIN’ PROFIT BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN U CAN’T MAKE MONEY BY NOT CHASIN’ FADS AND PUTTIN’ OUT BULLSHIT!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
@mac DIESEL
Feels ya on that but maybe I wasnt makin myself clear enough tho.
What I was sayin was:
Good talent builds soild fan bases and keeps labels up in the game.
As labels build rosters of good talent,
Money falls into place eventually.
The problem comes in when labels care more about money than they do talent and thats why we see label after label fallin off.
LOL @ Chi-Town!!!
50 Cent like Vinny Cerrato when it come to finding talent b
This guy lost all of my respect when I heard his name, “Hot Rod”. Like what’s the story behind that, he likes fast cars? Lame.
Useful to me. fggdfghfdsf
