G-Unit stan propaganda. Shut it off after it said 50 gave Game tracks because he such a standup dude and how 50 didn't like having to cover for Game dissing people

Them tracks went to Game because he was a priority for Dre, and 50 seen the potential in him. 50 was trying to make G-Unit a real label and Game was the most talented and charismatic artist he had, that's what record labels supposed to do. 50 got label points and Executive Producer credit on The Documentary and songwriting credits on every track he worked on. That shyt wasn't charity :mjlol:

50 got mad that Dre wanted to release Documentary before The Massacre. Got mad Game ain't want to diss artists he idolized like Nas and The Lox just because 50 said so. But he gonna turn around and complain about having to mend fences for Game dissing others. Really? Dude that got on the radar with the ultimate clout chaser track in How To Rob? Dude that was beefing with half the industry?

Then he fired Game live on the radio, like that wouldn't provoke a reaction.

Thing is, 50 and Game was always gonna end in disaster. And neither of them innocent victims. Game always been loose cannon, dude's a bipolar alcoholic. 50 a control freak and toxic personality who got a problem with anyone (Black) that don't fall in line and kiss his ass. Eminem basically the only industry person he never beefed with or fell out with. He had problems with everyone else including his day ones.

After 2005, G-Unit was creatively bankrupt anyway. The G-Unot shyt hurt them because they was supposed to be the boogeymen everyone was scared of and Game bullied em by himself, while making better music. But biggest thing was they kept recycling the same songs, same style hooks, same subject matter and audiences got bored. They couldn't adapt. And burnt way too many bridges. They had a limited network of top producers and hitmakers that wanted to work with them outside the Shady Aftermath camp.

50's ego and brand took a massive hit when he lost the manufactured sales battle against Kanye and never recovered. Went from 700,000 first week in 2007 to doing the same numbers as Rick Ross and Jadakiss in 2009. Been scared to drop a new album since the dud that went double tin foil in 2014, because he know he gonna get clowned on again when he does 20,000 first week.

Above the fray.
Shows that game was disloyal and ungrateful, even if you think he owed Dre and not 50. Dre signed him and 50 gave him a bunch of hits to kick start his career, and game hurt their pockets in return. According to Jim Jones, that was always the game's intent when he started working with 50.

Disloyal and ungrateful.
Rappers feud and battle all the time. His beef with 50 was just another public feud.

In your last post you said that Game started what became the downfall of 50.,??? How is any of that true?
Look up the date they publicly squashed the beef, and track what 50 did after then.

50 had a , had big album & singles released, soundtrack album and singled AND film months AFTER that. And continued a good group and label run after that. Until his run ran its course.

Game has nothing to do with it.

50 was bigger than Eminem in 2005, game started dissing him that year and never really stopped. By 2007 50 had fallen off a cliff, the gunot campaign did severe damage to his brand and he had to manufacture a beef with kanye to come close to selling a fraction of what he was use to. By 2009 50 lost support of his label and could barely go gold.

At the time, and today I feel that Game was right.

Dr Dre would have kept him on the shelf, if he didn't decide to attach him to the 50/G-Unit momentum so he owes Dre. Not necessarily 50 Cent.

Interscope didn't jerk 50 so he got the full payment/credit for his work with Game. And it expanded 50's reach by having a hot rapper from another region of the country under his banner.

Banks and Yayo were with 50 before he blew up and signed on for any of the problems that others had with him. Streets or industry.

Game didn't come up under 50, and signing on to 50's feuds with other rappers would limit his career. Smart to distance himself from all that dumb shyt early.

But he signed on and was dissing Bang em, Domination, Joe Budden, Yukmouth and them.

Y'all making it like he was a by stander the whole time. Even went out his way dissing JayZ and 50 had to tell him to chill.

AGAIN

After his first album he became a pop star where success is measured differently than just quality of music.
In theyear the beef with Game took off, he released a chart topping solo album and big singles, a big film and soundtrack and singles.

Clothing brand label, international tours, endorsement deals, expanding the G Unit roster and group and solo hit singles after that year.

At some point, spread out so thin width so many projects released.....creative energy was tapped and other themes and artists had taken over the popular sound and were the "it" men.

It happens, and he had a good run. Game had nothing to do with a big pop star having a mid career stall

He released that album before the beef kicked off, and that was the last year 50 was a mega star. After that year, none of his artists could move units like before the game beef. All his new artist flopped.

Even the grodt soundtrack struggled to go platinum, released the same year as the massacre and had a ton of hits.

A lot of people don’t know that beef essential started because game became a priority over him at interscope and he felt threatened. 50 was looking for a reason to set it off on him and game reacted the way he reacted.

I took Game’s side back then because 50 was beefing with Nas while Game showed Nas the utmost respect lol. And 300 Bars was incredibly entertaining.

But 50 was definitely in the right looking back. 50 helped Game put together a better album than Banks and Bucks and in return Game shytted on him.

Everyone wanted 50 Cent and G-Unit to fail by all means necessary so they got behind Game. Folks got tired 50 bullying their favorite rappers.

It was so bad that the Hip Hop Police was willing to set him up by having P plant a gun in his whip.


Game was a hoe for that and that’s why he couldn’t get on that stage.


It’s crazy how Jim Jones keeps throwing that story out there too.

Game not jumping in 50’s beef is funny because he jumped into Tyga’s beef with Durk and he also jumped into Drake’s beef with Ross
He did jump in all of 50s beefs to be fair, he bombed on Murder Inc all the time, he bombed on Smurf and them, he bombed on Yukmouth, Buddens, etc… all for going at 50/G-Unit. He just didn’t want to go at Nas, Fat Joe and Kiss because he had great rapports with all 3 of them already.

Yall are right tho, he knew what he signed up for and 50 did way more for him than he had to or maybe should have, so I’m not trying to save him…I’m just saying tho, he was ridin, just couldn’t go at those 3, 🤷🏽‍♂️. He could have just not dissed them lol, he didn’t have to declare it in front of the world on the radio and all that, just don’t say anything and see if 50 says something to you about it, lol.

Problem with 50 stans is they like a cult. Very similar to Trump supporters. To them, he never made a bad move. Never got emotional and overplayed his hand. Never did no one dirty. Every problem he ever had was someone else fault. They hate other rappers for being clout chasers, fabricating beefs for attention and social media antics, but never say a word about 50 building his whole career and brand off the same things.
