G-Unit was founded shortly after 50 Cent left Columbia Records. The original members were: 50 Cent, Bang Em Smurf, Domination, Lloyd Banks, Sha Money XL & Tony Yayo. These rappers collectively established the group as a whole in 2000; however, after Yayo got a prison sentence 50 Cent signed Young Buck and along with himself and Banks became the three faces of G-Unit. Smurf and Domination left the group due to some problems with the General, 50 Cent.
After being shot, 50 Cent signed to Interscope Records. Due to the success of his commercial debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin', he was granted his own record label. This was when 50 and Sha Money XL founded G-Unit Records.
The group continued to work hard and released several mixtape series which earned them a lot of attention in the rap industry. The most prominent of these being 50 Cent Is the Future, God's Plan, No Mercy, No Fear and Automatic Gunfire. G-Unit have also started a mixtape series with their DJ, DJ Whoo Kid, called G-Unit Radio.
These mixtapes gave them a gigantic buzz throughout New York City, which eventually led to 50's first solo album Get Rich or Die Tryin' selling over 12 million copies.
Before the group had a chance to record its debut album, Tony Yayo was sentenced to prison for a gun-possession charge as well as bail-jumping. During Tony Yayo's prison sentence, the group signed Nashville rapper, Young Buck. They continued their activity, working on yet more mixtape recordings. In particular, their 'G-Unit Remix' to 50 Cent's "P.I.M.P." was successful.
During Tony Yayo's prison sentence, G-Unit recorded their debut album, Beg for Mercy. The album was quickly released on November 14, 2003 to combat bootlegging and had significant commercial success. Tony Yayo made only two appearances on the album, both on songs that were recorded before his arrest. The album peaked at #2 on the Billboard charts and sold over 4 million units.
50 Cent later went on to sign The Game, Mobb Deep, M.O.P., Olivia, Spider Loc andMase. The Game was asked to be put in the group by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. 50 Cent agreed, and gave 7 of his records which was supposed to go on his second LP The Massacre. After The Game went on the radio and said that he had no problems with some rappers 50 Cent had issues with, 50 felt that Game was disloyal and kicked him out of the group, which lead to the infamous G-Unit vs. The Game/Black Wallstreet meet and beat off.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you frown at me is it because I won't provide for you girl
your after me cheddar
And you friends they see it to screaming we know what your up to do girl
I'm after my cheddar
I gave you your style Gucci this Fendi that
Burberry bag shoes and the hat to match
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but no more Prada shoes
When I just want to chill you want to go out
See me parle with some other chick you want to show out
You say I'm wrong when I dog yo ass like I should
now you reminisce about all the time I treated you good
[Chorus]
when you think about me grinding my fans
You even got more watch on but it's to much time on your hands
They say behind every good man is a woman
So tash pull up stash the cannon linen
I'll never be your chofuer to the mall
You'll learn to appreciate cd's and posters on the wall
fatal attractions is mad real
Last bitch I deaded got mad and swallowed 50 Advil's
[Chorus]
They say money make the world go round
Material things make a hoe go down
I see you in your Prada Gucci and BCBG
Bitch I'm rich but I don't trick on GP
That's 5 dollar dresses and 10 dollar skirts
Bitch play the strip and put in work
Birds want to have my baby since I signed my contract
Now I got to double up in case the condom snap
Look don't ask me for shit man
I ain't got nothing for you man what?
Bitch what the fuck you mean I can't sing bitch
Bitch I'm Luther Vandross in the shower
G-Unit!
In "After My Chedda," G-Unit addresses the topic of gold-digging women who are only interested in a man's money. The chorus in the song talks about the rapper's frustration with the women in his life who only want him for his money, and how he is focused on making his own money. The lyrics target the women who flaunt their designer clothing and accessories and expect the rapper to keep buying them these things. He mentions that when he just wants to stay at home and chill, they always want to go out and show off, which leads to tension in the relationship.
The lyrics describe the rapper's reluctance to continue buying expensive items for the women in his life when they don't appreciate it, especially when he is trying to save his money. He mentions that women are materialistic and will do anything for money, even if they have to put in work on the streets. He also warns about the dangers of fatal attraction and how his ex-girlfriend was driven to suicide because he ended the relationship.
Overall, "After My Chedda" is a reflection of the negative effects of fame and money on relationships and the pressure that rappers face to keep up with the expectations of the industry.
