    G-Unit are complete dirt, both the game and 50 are not great either but i would have to say 50 since the songs he releases are more catchy than the games


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭scuba steve


    i like them both but i think Game has a lot more potential than 50has. Fair enough 50has a film and a video game coming out soon but it seems as if 50is going down thesame road as Eminem (not saying Eminem is bad or anything) but Game has his own style kindof. Hes not trying to be someone hes not and hes bringing West Coast rap back. Ya Ricey ive gotta agree, thats one of my fave songs of him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Orizio


    I would say that the whole of the G-Unit(minus the sometimes decent Banks)is rubbish,while the Game makes better music,although it helps when his producers are the likes of Timbo,Hi-Tek and Dre. ;) He probably is one of the best west coast rappers(not close to Kurupt,Ras Kass etc of course),but thats not saying much.

    50 gets respect for his latest flurry of singings though,even if he can't really rap or write.He's definetly running the commercial side of Rap right now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭Stompbox


    After reviewing both albums lyrically and ...beatfully?, I have found that these are the songs that stand out on each

    The Documentary:

    Dreams

    We Aint

    Hate it or Love It

    How We Do

    Put You On The Game

    Start From Scratch

    Westside Story

    Higher

    The Massacre:



    Enough Said. Personally, I think The Game is amazing, he is revitalising West Coast Rap and his songs range from mammoth beats(Start From Scratch, Higher, Put you on the game, How We Do) to songs oozing with flavour
    ( Dreams, We Aint( really likin' that chorus) and Hate It Or Love it)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 169 ✭✭hiphopfanno1


    50 is much better than Game. Game wouldn't be where he is today without 50.Games biggest insult is '(name of person hes insulting) can suck my ****. WOW

    I thought you liked Hip Hop seen as your Username implies you do.

    i went for that crazy cat the game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    I go for 50 easily myself. May I also make the point that most the producing on the Games album was done by 50 primarily. And also, Hate it or love it and How we Do both have 50 cent on it. 50 Cent runs hip hop right now and nobody can touch him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭scuba steve


    cheesedude, you could say that 50 is the top commercial artist at the mo but couldnt say he runs hip-hop. Ya Sweet, i love Games song We Ain't too, wicked song that is. The Documentary is probably the best album iv gotten in i dont know how long. Someone said about 50doing most of the producing of Games album, ya he did quite alot but Dre and Eminem helped their too and left 50get the credit for doing the producing because he hasnt done much producing like that before. but saying that im not trying to take any credit away from 50, i love all the songs that hes on with Game on the album, they were the sh!t, pity there wont be anymore of it now tho


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,109 ✭✭✭ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV


    i voted for i like em all, 50 cent outta control and window shopper(from the new get rich die tryin soundtrack) are awesome songs at the moment, game used 50 cents outta controls beat and made a song called mr potatoe head and disses g-unit so bad, hes like 50 aint gangstaaa yayo aint gangstaaa banks aint gangstaaaa and buck you know you aint no gangstaaaa, kinda lame of him

    Are you basing who is better on who is better at insulting people?Jesus :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]

    No I'm just saying he could come up with better than that to get back at Jay-z or G-unit or who ever he's beefing with. And beefing with Jay-z and 50 is not smart. I hope Jay rips into him

    I remember hearing an interview with 50 Cent. And he said, look at the songs that are out now....they all have me on it. All his songs in the chart are either produced by me or have me on it. Every time that album sells, 50 gets something like 3/4 of the money.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 233 ✭✭Pen0s


    the game by far

    50 has already said hes in it for the money and nothing more, if he wasnt makin money hed give in, in a secound.

    no obviusly alot of people are in it for the money but alot have some sort of love for the music, i dont believe 50 does at any level and the massacre was proof of that.me and a mate of mine had a massive argument about these 2 and came to the conclusion that game is better lyrically in alll departments except 50 does sound good on the hooks and 50 makes the perfect music for the Chav masses!

    and ghost unit ****s on 50 :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 169 ✭✭hiphopfanno1


    In all fairness The Game wouldn't be where he is today without 50


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 906 ✭✭✭big syke


    both are not great at all. used to like game but he is now begining to get on my nerves. things like slagging r kelly in one of his songs and then appearing (very badly) in his new single....ughhhhh annoying


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭scuba steve


    What about dre


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 906 ✭✭✭big syke


    What about dre

    what about dre, he has nothin to do with this stupid thread, hes not a member of g-unit and i dont think hes the game

    who are you getting smart with. I was talking to hiphopfanno1 not you, she said Game wudnt be here without 50 and i said what about dre. Stick that in your blunt and smoke it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    Maybe you should have quoted the post then, because it seemed to me anyway that you posted about Dre for no reason.
    Looks like Big Syke took it up the same way as I did.

    Ya but didn't 50 discover The Game before Dre???? I was under that impression anyway. Sure the Game was signed to Interscope for ages and didn't become huge until 50 was in his record


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,464 ✭✭✭Kristok


    Game was discovered by JT the bigga figga iirc and then went to dre back then he didnt rhyme so good thats why im not sure he can do it without 50. He was signed to aftermath before 50 I think but he defo didnt discover him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 906 ✭✭✭big syke


    who are you getting smart with.

    well obviously i was getting smart with you duhhhhhhhhhhh. just remember there is a quote icon mayb use it.

    Stick that in YOUR blunt and smoke it stephen


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭scuba steve


    i dont smoke blunts so, ah . . . . no. Game signed to Interscope before 50cent did any type of producing/ colaberation etc with him. So 50 didnt discover Game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,450 ✭✭✭evil_seed


    50 runs


    ...... on a feckin treadmill.:D He's been shot, so has Game. The last time there was a big argument/discussion about these to "ganstas" I put a link to an article that says exactly what I was thinking then and what I am thinking still about these two. So here is that link. http://http://www.playahata.com/pages/eyecalone/hiphopsmackdown.htm
    Enjoy!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,539 ✭✭✭ghostdancer


    Game, mainly because he can sort of rap, and not mumble like 50 does.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭scuba steve


    Evilseed, that link didnt work for me

    Strange Game always seemed like the mumbler to me,50 was always the one with the lyrical abilities of a 4 year old...;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    I think 50 Cent is the best rapper around today. I really like his voice. Same with Eminem.

    I guess technical and lyrical ability shouldn't be considered when deciding on the current great?Or are you just being sarcastic?Or have you just got a fetish for men's voices? ;)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,464 ✭✭✭Kristok


    Well while you tick off your box's and decide on who you like, I like most people like someone just because i like them and they dont have to fit a certain box outlined by people who think they know what there talking about but really dont. Ive said it before and ill say it again theres an awfull lot of snobs around here.

    Just like to point out this thread is completly off topic and should have been closed cause its just abuse anyone who says they like game or 50.

    Yes this thread has gone off topic, but so does nearly every other thread on this forum so i wouldnt get too worried about it if i were you, i should also point out that you were the one who started the abuse on this thread, valid points were brought up and you decided that its your duty to attack other posters, theres no snobs here, you just have an inferiority complex.

    As for picking your favourite rapper because you like his voice, its akin to picking a car bacause you like the colour, disregarding important aspects such as performance, cost and reliability. While the post wasn't relevant to the OPs' question it was relevant to the discussion taking place in the previous posts, its not your decision to decide when a thread should be locked, thats entirely up to Makaveli.

    Yea nice one actually read the thread from the start and youll see just how wrong you are. If someone wants to pick their favourite car because it comes in a certain colour thats no ones business but their own. There are snobs here your one of them.

    Jesus you do get offended easily don't you?Without even reading the post i'm going to guess it goes something like you don't like 50 cent=your a snob, elitist blah blah blah.If you want to run off to the mods then do,no doubt it will make you feel exceedingly proud.;)

    I'll give this one more chance-in my opinion,basing your fave rapper on his voice is asinine.Disagree?Of course you do.Do I care?Nope.

    Besides my fave rapper is Cormega,and his voice takes a lot of getting used to.But i don't mind because lyrical he is one of the greats.I'd rather be fair and base my opinion on a rapper on his skills rather then one of his inate characteristics. ;)

    No he didn't discover him he made him famous. Who honestly had heard of The Game before The Documentary(His album)/ or This Is How We Do(his first single with 50)?The Game only blew up when 50 got involved

    Probably that you are a snob and put down mainstream artists because it makes you feel superior and cool, and that you are only jumping on the bandwagon while actually knowing nothing about rap music. At least that's what I would take from it.

    Attica! Attica! Attica!

    I know plenty about rap music. Man, I was responding to a post. Think I'm cool? What are you 12? Sorry if I offended you, ye f uckin muppet :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


    Ban me, this forum is so fu ckin ridiculous and pointless I couldn't give a flying s hit...

    Well actually read the posts and youll see the infighting started way before I even decided to post anything. I have no problem if you said in your opinion 50 is rubbish its when its said like 50 cent is rubbish and your an idiot for liking him thats when i have a problem with it. Dont know what makes you think im going to report the thread to a mod ive never and have no interest in doing so, im saying this thread is nothing but personal attacks by people who think they have some moral high ground over the rest of us. It seems that every thread started around here about something comercial usually ends up with someone like klimseven coming in calling people idiots and then it just gets completly off topic. Show me a thread about someone like mf doom or something that has ended like this id be shocked if there was one that eneded in this mess thats because the people who like comercial rap dont stick their noses into threads about something they dont like and defo dont call people names because they dont like the particular artist.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 345 ✭✭Klimseven

    I never called anyone an idiot. I wasn't at all rude or insulting. Read my post for proof.

    Post links to the posts where people are called names in this thread in order to back up your statements.

    You seem to be of the opinion that if people don't like something they can't contribute to the topic. Why is that? What an interesting place this would be if everyone agreed with everyone else.
    You imply that people who don't like commercial rap stick their noses into these threads, who are you to say people can't post where they want to?
    Why do people who only listen to commercial rap not post on MF Doom threads? More than likely because they have never heard his music and thus have nothing to contribute to the thread so I don't see your point.
    Yet again it's a case of you pulling out the snob card as you so often do.
    From reading your posts on this thread it appears to me that you have compiled a little list of the music snobs on this forum. I said in a thread before that I feel you have issues and I still think you do.

    If you find posts abusive or unproductive or off-topic, report them.

    With a voice comes lyrics and I love his energy and what he raps about. It fascinates me and interests me. Is that enough of an explanation for you? Am i not underground or ghetto enough for you? Don't mind me, I am just rambling to a complete pigeon, they don't usually "get" things.

    Just ignore the haters. Where ever you go there are going to be people who are just out to be haters no matter what. Some people might call me a Game hater ,even though I don't hate him really I just think 50 is a lot of more talented and has more potential as a rapper. Maybe everyone should stop their attitude of thinking their opinion is the right opinion, myself included??
