For years Game Stan’s and others have claimed that his 300 bars diss and the “Gunot” movement played a huge role in Gunit and 50 cent’s eventual decline in terms of mainstream relevance




But how true is that really? :patrice: Others have argued that their time was coming anyway

He definitely accelerated their decline. He shouldn't have been int he crew in the first place, nor should buck. They could've been their own aftermath artists who colab with gunit, but the label got greedy

50 did this loser charity with hate it or love it, and how we do...they should've been the lead off singles for The Massacre or the second gunit album.

Hubris of course got the best of the game and he thought he was bigger than gunit and 50, and fukked up a serious bag for yayo and banks specifically.

Game was a hoe for taking sides against G-Unit…


50 is the reason why Game didn’t end up still on the shelf.


Funny how he had no issues with going at Ja Rule, Joe Buddens, and Yukmouth but when it came to Nas and Fat Joe he was like.:whoa:

No crew respects a turncoat.


Game however proved that he could hold his own without G-Unit.


He lost the war once he apologized and kept dissiing

50's decline was moreso of him basically going at alot of peoples favorites on some bully shyt(Nas, Fat Joe, Jadakiss)... Game was too bipolar to be takened seriously by 50 and them even though some dope records did come from him during that period

50 was going out like 96 Pac…

Anyone who sided with Murder Inc or said a slick remark behind the scenes or in the open was getting dissed.

Fat Joe and Jadakiss got dissed by 50 due to getting on Ja’s NY song just like how PAC dissed Jay-Z for letting Big take shots at him on Brooklyn’s Finest.


Game was a puppet for Jimmy henchman though

We , live in action, are seeing how an effective battle victory can elevate your profile.

Game fell off right alongside gunit. You can't claim responsibility when all their statures plummeted at the same time

Game did major damage to G-Unit fanbase pride because G-Unit was presented as invincible and Game bullied em by himself. Bandwagon jumped off after that.

But, real battle was won because Game consistently made heat from 2005-2016. And G-Unit was mostly ass after 2005. Listen to some of them 2007-2009 tracks :scust: most that shyt was pathetic, nobody except 50's Balkan stanbase would say otherwise.

Buck was down with UTP before 50…


Signing to G-Unit was probably the best thing for him after he brought that Blood Hound song.

50 was a writer for those songs he gave Game so he was gonna get paid for it anyways.


Shyt, 50 was eating off Game for a couple albums after he left the Unit.


It was diabolical for him to trademark G-Unot as well.

This one of the WOAT hip hop myths to be honest.

50 "gave" them tracks to Game because he saw an opportunity for himself and his label. Dre and Jimmy Iovine was going crazy over what Game was doing, but they wanted a guarantee hit single so asked 50 to help. Game was obviously better and more charismatic than anyone on G-Unit so 50 agreed. 50 got paid big money, got an EP and label points off The Documentary. It was a long ass way from charity.

What never get mentioned is Curtis got mad because Dre and Jimny Iovine both thought The Documentary was better than The Massacre. And it was. When they moved The Documentary release in front of Massacre is where the trouble really started.

Stop it.....Game was (is) a grown man if he didn't feel like dissin Jada, Fat Joe and Nas ect that was games decision.

This wasn't some kiddy high school "If you aren't friends with my friend then you can't be my friend" type shyt

Game was only put in G-Unit for marketing purposes. He didn't get his battle scars from the dirt like Yayo and Banks did. That alone makes sense why Game didn't feel the need to be one of 50's attack dogs (Same goes for Buck)

Game definitely derailed G Unit at a rapid pace. Dude released a dvd called stop snitching stop lying where he was jus shytting on g unit on the streets for an hour, shyt was mad entertaining.

Then he had the mixtape to go with it. I saw in real time people switching from g unit stans to shouting G unot every day.

He had love for those artists tho. Plus, im sure him being managed by Henchman played apart in it as both Joe & Nas had some affiliation to dude.

How did he NOT prove he could hold his own? As oppossed to...?? Banks? Where he at? Yayo? smh.. Buck? We all saw how it went for him.

Thats a huge stretch

Right..like we saw happening to Spider Loc. What happened to his G-Unit album? Lol. He was so "loyal" to G-Unit right? Went at all them nikkas.

But ended up a crash dummy like we thought

Game played a part in it but let’s be serious here, Game did himself no favors by popping shyt then apologizing. He’s a self made lame…when kinda hurts GUnit cuz they signed a bipolar manic and Fif gave helped him create a better album than the massacre.

GUnit with 50/Game/Banks/Buck/Yayo was my fav time in hip hop…
