    nothing new bud this is the 3rd or 4th time game has said sorry to 50 in the last few months, game even imithed 50 wrote the hook on hate it or love it last night on twitter.

    would be a great thing for day hip hop to have all members of gunit back but games only reaching out because he needs g unit, game has zero buzz and has fallen off the face of the planet along with the red album.

    game is comical, he's just making himself look like a clown again

    The Game should never have bitten the hand that fed him in my opinion - without 50 he probably wouldn't have a career

    Saying that, they should reunite, they made some great tunes together


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,431 ✭✭✭Hugh Cream


    yeah game definitely only interested in this because hes irrelevant at the moment.
    i honestly believe 50 sees game as an emotional wreck,too feminine to ever truly trust again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,213 ✭✭✭PrettyBoy


    This will never happen, Game wants to do it because he believes G-Unit will go straight back to the top if they have all of them back together but, even if they did put aside all their differences, I don't think they would be near as big as they were before.

    50's more interested in acting these days (though he's featured in a few recent hits), Game and Buck aren't doing too much besides mixtapes, Yayo is useless...Banks is the one doing well at the moment, deservedly too, probably the best lyricist of them all.

    Game should at least contact 50 quietly though, like Jay and Nas did and surprised everyone. Made himself look like an idiot doing it on Twitter, reads like he was drunk or something.

    As much as i like some of Games music, I can't stand his name dropping in songs, and any publicity he gets is always calling out someone to generate heat, if you took the name dropping away from Game he has zero to talk about. This is no diffrent, and I doubt 50 has any intrest with him, the man is all talk, why would you bother colaberating with someone like that anyway.

    he's just a clown in all fairness, here we go again



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 578 ✭✭✭30txsbzmcu2k9w


    I feel a bit sorry the guy. Should I?
    Couldn't care less about G-Unit tbh, their music never did anything for me.
    Hate it or Love it on the other hand is one of the best tracks of the last 10 years


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,092 ✭✭✭Le King


    50 Cent is finished in the music industry and G-Unit were always rubbish collectively. Bank's new album is ok, nothing great. 50 hasn't had a hit since last year and Yayo is just rubbish. I don't know why Game needs to feed off 50 again. I imagine their is some sort of commercial advantage to this.

    G-Unot.

    Wasn't G-Units last album some sort of crappy collection of RNB love ballads?? The Game still has more bite to his music than anything 50 cent or the rest of his clowns have ever put out. Yeah he name drops too much, but I'd buy a Game album any day over any crap Yayo or them put out.

    i hate to say it but you gotta be a g unit hater cause to say theyve been rubbish collectively is just wrong.
    and maybe the reason 50 hasnt had a hit since last year is because he hasnt had music out in over a year.

    EDIT:yep a hater.
    damn its like 2007 all over again lol.

    You don't need to be a hater to realise that G-Unit are "collectively" atrocious and 50 cent is just plain ****.

    you do,only a hater would be so petty as to completely write off everything g unit ever done.
    someone who wasnt swayed into the genre when the white,blonde haired genius appeared on the scene could and would vouch for their back catalogue of classic hits.

    ok serioulsy why is this going of topic, this thread was about a g unit re-union not a 50 vs game thread.

    but since we are of topic and i love a good arguement lets do it:D

    G units last album was t.o.s now if you listened to this you would know it couldn't be more the opposite of what you said. seriously go and listen to it and prove me right, there's nothing but aggressive content bar 2 songs.

    the game has more bite to his music how? they both do the same style of hip hop and gunit and 50 were clearly more succesful both on the mixtape scene and the comercial scene as a whole so maybe thats just your personal opinion.

    without 50 cent you would not of heard of the game, infact he was going to be dropped by dre until interscope stepped in and put him with g unit, he was then signed to aftermath/gunit records in a joint venture by dre and 50.

    my point you never bite the hand that feeds you, you dont see 50 getting emotional about something em or dre have done, he has nothing but respect for the pair, even when dre brought game back in.

    id 100 per cent agree with hugh cream, how can an artist have a hit if he's not putting out music? 50's last album was bisd that was last year in 09.

    if you are going to be sitting game's corner dont talk about hits, countless singles have floped for the red album honestly iv lost count of them, he is making terrible music at the moment.

    50 is actually featured on a few tracks at the moment and they are doing well in the states, he shot a video for a track called tooth and booth it with snoop dogg today.

    game has never had a hit without a feature, he relys so much on other artists its not even funny just look back at the track listing for all his albums every second song has a feature, his lyrics are just plain bad, he is bi-polar as fu*k its just ridiculous.

    game has one classic album documentary co-produced by 50, he even said on twitter that 50 wrote hate it or love it arguably his biggest hit and game denied that for years. 50 cent was featured on the games 2 biggest songs hate it or love it and how we do, as far as hits for game you could add one blood ft junior reid and my life ft lil wayne to that list, thats it seriously im struggling to think of more.

    G unit collectively sold 6 million records with one album alone beg for mercy and that album is pretty good so they cant be that bad and that was without game!. beg for mercy has done better than any game album including the documentary so that says it all.

    id agree with a lot of people 50 cent is no where near as good as he used to be but he still makes hits and better music than the game period.

    i said this before i enjoy both of there music but there's only one winner here and its 50 and g unit sure they had a few flops along the way but what camp doesnt? even eminem and jay have had bad albums. what 50 cent has achieved musically in a short period of time is beyond game's wildest dreams.

    what have Black wall street ever done as a group and a label? i doubt anyone outside of game fanboys even heard of any of them, they cant even get 1 album out collectively or individually, where as g unit are a worldwide success.

    game doesn't just do this to 50, he also hounds jay z from time to time dissing him one minute adoring him and saying sorry the next, as well as crying for dre for years until he finally got back in.

    the g unit mixtapes are obviously before his time.

    In terms of sales, 50 has been more successful than Game. G-Unit collectively have not.

    Beg For Mercy has not sold 6 million copies. Where are you getting these figures from?

    That's your opinion...

    What about BWS? Who's talking about them? Different story altogether there.

    Game, Banks and Buck are the only people in the entire G-Unit line-up that have had any sort of success, Game being the most successful by a big margin. 50 signed established artists like Mobb Deep, M.O.P., Mase and a ton of other nobodies and every one of them flopped.

    G-Units last album hasn't even gone gold, they had 15 minutes where they were on top but that's over now. I don't think even Game and 50 reuniting could get them back to where they were. G-Unit Records has released 2-3 hit albums since 2003, the rest flopped and that's why they are far from a worldwide success.

    jesus christ,are you a 14 year old who still thinks its 2007,theyve all moved on,you should too.
    but just to clear up everything youve said because basically the majority of it is wrong.
    mase never signed to g unit so your wrong there.
    mop never released an album on g unit so thats hardly flopping,again your wrong.
    all of 50s albums have been a success world wide,50s world wide fan base is huge,wrong again.

    grow up and move on.

    Ah I forgot the Mase deal never went through, my mistake. I never said M.O.P. released an album though? I just said almost every album released under G-Unit records flopped, with the exception of 2-3. I think we both know that if 50 let M.O.P. put one together it would have flopped hard, just like Mobb Deeps effort.

    Also, when did I say 50 hasn't been successful worldwide? You're assuming he's a G-Unit records artist - wrong. He is the co-founder, not an artist. All four of his albums have been released under Interscope/Shady/Aftermath. Not one of them has been released under G-Unit Records. Get your facts straight.

    This could go back and forth all day. Why not just stay on topic (Game reaching out to 50)?

    i never said g unit collectively were more successful than game i simply stated that beg for mercy has done better numbers than any of game's albums individually.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beg_for_Mercy ,

    awell as being named in the top 200 albums of the decade, http://www.billboard.com/charts-decade-end/billboard-200-albums?year=2009#/charts-decade-end/billboard-200-albums?year=2009&begin=181&order=position

    now thats that anyway.

    this is where it went off topic

    instead of giving thanks to that comment why didnt you pull dark jager up on it? what has that got to do with game being bi-polar?

    since ye were all high and mighty giving jabs at g unit why not really get to the facts about bws and game and how incredibly weak that label has been since it started.

    the only reason game got that successful is because he went against 50, you either stand under your mentor and be a bit under him or go against him and get that little bit bigger in the short run but you look at game's career now and he will tell you himself it aint worth it thats why he's trying so hard to get back with 50, he has pharrell and dre and still cant make a hit i mean come on.

    get rich = hit...............8x platinum........15 million worldwide
    massacare = hit...........5x platinum.........11 million woldwide
    curtis = hit...............platinum..........no figures for worldwide
    before i self destruct......gold.....no figures
    hunger for more = hit...........platinum
    straight outa cashville = hit......platinum
    beg for mercy = hit......2x platinum....6 million worldwide
    toughts of a pridicted felon = hit..... 790'000
    the documentary = hit......2x platinum.......5 million worldwide
    rotten apple = hit...... platinum
    get rich soundtrack = hit.......platinum........3 million worldwide


    flops

    mobb deep........250'000(us only, worldwide not given)
    lil scrappy........ no figures
    buck the world.........350'000(us only, worldwide not given)
    t.o.s........270'000 (us only, worldwide not given)

    if you want me to post another link to prove that just ask and mase was never with gunit, diddy never released him and 50 booted m.o.p because he said they weren't making good music.

    even though t.o.s was the best selling group album that year, spin off groups never do aswell as the main artist i.e g unit,d12,ruff ryders,dipset etc etc

    11 hits and 4 flops isn't that bad pretty considering gunit the label is only active since 03.

    Your a fanboy. Just admit it. Game has been better than 50 since The Massacre. Lloyd Banks has spent too much time going to clubs rather than trying to live off 50 Cent, which he should be doing like Yayo. Because they are garbage rappers. Lloyd Banks or Yayo couldn't sell a copy without Fiddy. Now Fiddy is concentrating on his movie career, Banks is trying to g out on his own again and fail.


    I can't understand Yayo, when he releases some decent stuff then he can diss people until then he shouldn't say a word because when was the last time he had a hit? Never.

    im a fanboy coming from the chap who is saying g unot:D:D grow up you sound like a child. your the one who started this off topic debate with your g unot comments just because your hero is making a clown out of himself again.

    thats your opinion mate but i think if that was the case he wouldnt be mentioning 50 in nearly every interview and song he does and he defeintly wouldnt be saying sorry time and time again:D

    you lost me on the the whole staying at home, going to clubs part, what are you on about chap?

    im not defending tony yayo but how's he dissing? he's clearly not a great rapper but when you have game shouting out a g unit re-union every few weeks trying to get publicity he has every right to tell him to pi*s off.

    lloyd banks was always the best rapper out of the whole lot, banks would rap circles around them all, and he's the only one making hits at the moment period.

    Can you get an actual source on those Beg For Mercy figures? The cited references on the Wiki page are garbage, one is Yayo claiming 4 mil sold and the other is a dead link.

    Ah I forgot the Mase deal never went through, my mistake. I never said M.O.P. released an album though? I just said almost every album released under G-Unit records flopped, with the exception of 2-3. I think we both know that if 50 let M.O.P. put one together it would have flopped hard, just like Mobb Deeps effort.

    Also, when did I say 50 hasn't been successful worldwide? You're assuming he's a G-Unit records artist - wrong. He is the co-founder, not an artist. All four of his albums have been released under Interscope/Shady/Aftermath. Not one of them has been released under G-Unit Records. Get your facts straight.

    This could go back and forth all day. Why not just stay on topic (Game reaching out to 50)?
    ok so your getting pedantic and technical,well technically all g units artists albums fell under the g unit/interscope umbrella so not technically a g unit album if you want to get pedantic.
    and your biggest over sight has been the assumption that the majority of albums have flopped,barring 2 or 3?
    well for those who make assumptions based on what their favourite rappers say,all you need do is take a look on wikipedia to find out how none of the albums g unit/interscope dropped actually flopped,as you seem to think,go look.
    all placed either at number one or in the top three,aand all sold relatively weel in the opening weeks,not get rich numbers but by no means flops.

    i fully agree,we could go back and forth all day which is childish,and it ruins threads,but if you do wanna go back and forth at least get your facts right.
    or dont base your facts on stuff game has said,your a grown man? stop acting like a 14 year old game fan.

    wiki is usually right or not far of it, it has yayo on there for 790'000 sold, just type in g unit records on wiki.

    here's the link for the numbers beg for mercy done in america alone where they match up to wiki's stats.

    http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH_RESULTS

    i dont know of any official sites for worldwide sales other than wiki iv tried searching for one, its a common known thing most big mainstream artists will sell more worldwide, and you have to remember this was in 03-05 where 50 was breaking soundscan records he could of sold a blank cd back then:D

    the fact beg for mercy was on billboards top 200 albums of the decade where a lot of others weren't is a good enough indication that it sold 6 million worldwide even though the billboards are for america only.

    why is that so hard to belive? i even know at least 4 or 5 people with this album in my area it was fairly popular with 2 or 3 good singles.

    instead of giving thanks to that comment why didnt you pull dark jager up on it? what has that got to do with game being bi-polar?
    I agreed with the majority of Jagers post, that's why I thanked it. Is there something wrong with that? There's no denying that G-Unit often come out with very R&B heavy tracks (Wanna Get To Know You, Smile, Ride Wit U, etc.) I didn't take it as a dig to G-Unit though, I like those songs... :confused:
    since ye were all high and mighty giving jabs at g unit why not really get to the facts about bws and game and how incredibly weak that label has been since it started.
    What has BWS got to do with this topic? Why would I start talking about BWS for no reason? Doesn't make sense...It's more of Games cronies more than anything else though, seems like nearly every rapper has his 'own label' thse days. For all you know Game could have set up his own company (BWS) for tax reasons ;) and never intended to make a huge, worldwide record label.
    the only reason game got that successful is because he went against 50, you either stand under your mentor and be a bit under him or go against him and get that little bit bigger in the short run but you look at game's career now and he will tell you himself it aint worth it thats why he's trying so hard to get back with 50, he has pharrell and dre and still cant make a hit i mean come on.
    The main reason Game was so successful is because he was working a lot with 50, the biggest rapper at the time. Game owes a lot of his success to 50. If anything, he became less successful after he cut ties with 50. Am I wrong?
    if you want me to post another link to prove that just ask and mase was never with gunit, diddy never released him and 50 booted m.o.p because he said they weren't making good music.
    Yes, please post a link from a reputable source and not Wikipedia.

    50 Cent booted M.O.P. off the label because he knew they would flop, just like Mobb Deep did. Mobb Deep lost a lot of their real fans when they sold out and signed to G-Unit. I mean Prodigy getting a G-Unit tattoo was pretty ridiculous :pac:

    +1. Not one of those links says that Beg For Mercy sold "6 Million copies worldwide".

    Mate, I'm not being pedantic, I'm stating facts. Listen to yourself. 50's albums were released under Shady/Aftermath/Interscope. Nothing to do with G-Unit Records. So, technically, they were not released under G-Unit. Hate to break it to you, but 50, as a solo artist, is not, nor was he ever, a G-Unit Records artist.

    G-Units albums were released under G-Unit/Interscope. So, technically, it was released under G-Unit.

    Understand? Or do I have to explain it to you again?

    MUFCboy and Hughcream: Openly stating that your only source for this information has been Wikipedia really isn't doing you two any favors. RIAA, fair enough, but Wikipedia? Come on lads, I hope you're not expecting anyone to take you seriously...

    None of them flopped? LOL.

    Did it say that on Wikipedia too?
    wiki is usually right or not far of it, it has yayo on there for 790'000 sold, just type in g unit records on wiki.
    Really? It's that easy? Wow. Thanks for the tip.

    i dont know of any official sites for worldwide sales other than wiki iv tried searching for one
    May as well take Wikipedia as gospel then!
    its a common known thing most big mainstream artists will sell more worldwide
    Eh...not really.
    the fact beg for mercy was on billboards top 200 albums of the decade where a lot of others weren't is a good enough indication that it sold 6 million.
    Wow. I'm convinced.
    why is that so hard to belive? i even know at least 4 or 5 people with this album in my area it was fairly popular with 2 or 3 good singles.
    That settles it then. Sorry I ever questioned your sources!

    Lads, we were way off with the Beg For Mercy sales figures! I know Wikipedia said 6 Million yesterday but there must have been a sudden spike in sales over the last 24 hours...
