How much credit does The Game get for the decline of G-Unit?

[Mac Ten]

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

Buck chose to sign back to G-Unit…


At least Game had some industry connects as far as features goes. He had many verses from Nas and Wayne over the years.

Folks wasn’t running to work with Buck after he dissed 50 either.


Yayo is cool with his position. He’s the Spliff Star of G-Unit.. always playing his position

Banks left 50 despite them having some internal strife. Unlike Game and Buck, he left and didn’t go siding with the opps

 

[Mac Ten]

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)

Yet Game still chose to take up the beef with Buddens and Ja Rule…

U can’t pick and choose when to ride for the team.


Why u think PAC was mad at Snoop???


U dont bite the hand that feeds you.



Buck was doin better with 50 so he owes him some loyalty. He was a CM reject at the end of the day. Dude became a star on that label. Homie was getting mad calls for features.



He would have went back to Nashville broke in the hood somewhere after the Juvenile thing didn’t work out.

He gets no credit. The only reason they declined is because as always Hip-Hop moves onto a new era eventually.

Yeah right. G-Unit was looked at as invincible before 300 bars. G-Unit was not those guys anymore after that, especially young buck

90%

 

[Da King]

100%

After he dropped 300 bars g unit was an official joke

 

[backbreaker65]

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.

This is a bold face lie.

Budden said himself that his beef with Game started where he thought he could diss G-Unit on a song with Game back on a old DJ Clue tape before Game's debut. He's also the guy who leaked the Change of Heart shyt.

Ja shyt was definitely out of loyalty for 50 tho. But he was also a scapegoat for dissing Hov at the time.

Banks left 50 despite them having some internal strife. Unlike Game and Buck, he left and didn’t go siding with the opps

We know it wasn't Banks leaving 50. He got dropped. 50 made a whole post on IG humiliating dude when he became a free agent. And there's a reason why he continues to shyt on Banks in interviews and at his show today.

And this was all after the picture with Game in Dubai that 50 was not happy about.

50’s terrible singles like Candy Shop, Amusement Park, Disco Inferno, Best Friend etc played a major part as well.

People had 50 fatigue by 2007.. and Kanye ended him

Also 50 just stopped focusing on making music and wasn’t out there buying quality beats.

Honestly, 50 could have made way more popular music over the year’s but he got focused on making money from TV.

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

Game definitely doesn't deserve 100% credit because 50 was obviously beefing with Jimmy Iovine at the same time who effectively pulled the plug on 50/G-Unit around Curtis for all the mixtapes with studio quality songs being leaked.

Jada and Styles dismantled 50 but lacked the star power of Game to really make an impact on 50s career. They're like Budden or Push in the Drake beef who basically slapped Drake around first and left material there for Kendrick to use in his battle. Game was big enough to create a whole G-Unot movement and gather the industry for the One Blood remix to effectively ostracize 50 from the industry and make it cool to hate on him.

Sha Money XL wasn't picking 50s beats anymore by the Curtis album because 50 was beefing with him too

There's a huge shift in quality of music when Sha was around and once 50 got rid of him.

 

[King Poetic]

Didn’t jimmy henchmen pop up as game manager at the time which caused the friction with game and g unit, since chris lighty and Jimmy didn’t like each other..

Game always wanted to lined himself up with henchmen types in the industry

50 expected bigger things for Banks…
I can understand that part. He was going to move further than Yayo.


The Game part… Banks and Game was on some rap shyt and it nvr got serious between them. Ironically Buck and Game clashed with each other at NBA Allstar game and then became friends.


50 ended up squashing the beef with Game too and he possibly knew that Game was gonna get at 50 again for a reason so he kept him at Arms length.


Banks could diss 50 back but he’s too loyal for that.

When Ross was cracking slick about 50, Banks still brushed him off unlike Buck who would dap him up.

It definitely started the decline. As a young kid 50cent was like the baddest nikka in rap.

Then game killed that nikka with 300 bars. Then 50 went at so many other rappers.

Jadakiss killed that nikka. 50 only could respond about the money he has and after that I started losing interest.

I caught that 50 is a great artist but avg lyrically and these other rappers where killing him
