The only beef that limited 50s career was him taking shots at Jimmy Iovine. Tony Yayo makes more money than Game now just being a hypeman,so imagine where Game could be now.
[Long ass video] Looking back on the 50-Game Beef, 50 Cent was in the right and Game was disloyal and ungrateful.

A man put you in the position to feed your family and make millions and you go out your way to go on the radio and say you have no problem with his enemies 
All he had to do when asked about certain rappers was say at the end of the day I’m G unit and didn’t have to diss them or talk crazy just be a solid individual but nah he’s a bipolar clown

Both things ended up being true.
Game is highly emotional and a wild card that probably can't remain loyal under someone for too long.
And loyalty to 50 ended up meaning nothing for Banks, Buck, Yayo, etc. 50 ended up shytting on all of these guys eventually.

Pretty much where I am with it too
Game's obviously got mental health issues & 50 may be smart but he's been shot up to the point he's got issues and everybody's an enemy in time. Everyone loyal to him ended up publicly embarrassed by him, can't even give birth to the nikka's kids and escape it lol
Combine that with labels getting tired of his antics and hip hop changing sounds, it was going to end ugly for both 50 & Game in the business one way or another.
This thread made me look up old clips and found this one where 50 said Game's across the street and around the corner, not on Gunit anymore. Say whatever you want about Curtis, his broke dude's habits down before the world knew. Even had the answer in 05 for why Game wouldn't be as big an artist when he was one of the only things bigger than Game around then. Game can rap so it must be the songwriting never thought about it like that

I remember when his father died he had rip posts about him praising him highly. Weird all around.

Probably because Game was in a better position in 05’ as he was really popular at the time. He didn’t feel like it was necessary to be part of some beef for someone else.
Nowadays he will diss anyone and do pretty much anything for attention.

Game should have did that but his snake azz was ready to go rogue behind the scenes…
Him and Young Buck are both some snakes.
I like Game’s music but he’s a fukk Nikka.
I don’t even think most of BWS is cool with Game.

Buck is a little different. 50 was going around during the press run for that G-Unit album basically calling Buck a junkie (while on national tv in front of millions of people). It wasn't until that happened that Buck started publicly speaking against G-Unit.

They were both right.
A) 50 was right that Game should have showed more loyalty to him. 50 helped him blow. Game should have paid him the same respect 50 paid to Em and Dre.
B) 50 was wildin. Unlike Em and Dre, 50 was beefing with EVERYBODY and expected Game to not work with these people. That's alot of opportunities I have to give up as a entertainer because you keep having problems with people. And the loyalty didnt pay off as 50 has problems with Buck and Banks now.
Soooooooo I understand both viewpoints
My only comment here is 50 shouldn't have beefed with everybody and Game should've stopped dissing 50 after he "won". Mentioning 50 over and over and over again for years made him look mentally disturbed. And it makes 50 look better in hindsight eventhough he was being unreasonable for the reasons mentioned above. Game should've kept it respectful and thanked 50 for starting his career. And by that, I mean how Cam can thank Mase for starting his career without adding in insults or backhanded compliments.

The bolded is the only reason I can understand Game's POV.
That nikka was beefing with everybody.
For a modern example, Durk and Von weren't gonna do songs with NBA because of their problems which is understandable but, Von probably would've felt some kinda way if Durk had beefs with 10 of the hottest rappers out and acted like he couldn't interact with them.

Buck was saying “Eff G-Unit” at shows and was being too friendly with 50 Cent’s opps…
I don't know about Dre seeing potential in Game, 50 says Game was on the verge of getting dropped by Aftermath and Interscope.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
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.
The point about them being a bad cocktail is true.
That's what 50 say, but he got his own agenda. Him and Game both compulsive liars
Game ain't even start rapping seriously until 2002. He signed with Aftermath in 2003 and they put him with G-Unit less than a year later.
Dre wasn't really working with Game directly until he heard Dreams, then he got heavily involved. They started knocking out tracks and Dre and Jimmy Iovine put him with 50, to capitalize on the G-Unit buzz and so 50 could help with some of the hooks and widen the pop appeal. But that only happened because Dre and Iovine realized they had something with big potential. 50 obviously saw it too.
