Game better than G-Unit?? , coming from a guy who got his screen name from a lyrical gem of an album?

Come on man, all game did was name drop, when his first album dropped, there was a tally/count out, dude said Dre like 500 times, he is far from lyrical.
i loled at the dre part. documentary is a classic though and the next two were great albums.

Everyone was dropping bombs back then. I still remember listening to Banks Hunger For More. Good lord that had some jams.

Just listened to "Don't Push Me" for the first time in forever. Ohmyyyy.

Hunger for More was pretty good. Probably my favourite debut album between Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, and Tony Yayo.

They reunited at Hot 97's Summer Jam this year and put there issues aside. 50 still doesn't like Game.

Well, that's good. He's a big part of G-Unit, but also probably the least memorable.

Game didn't join til later on, I think he made cameos in the Stunt 101 video I could be wrong

I know about Game's history with G-Unit. I just thought I'd make a quick comment on his absence from this reunion.

I liked The Documentary, but I didn't really follow Game after that.

It sad when I think about Cassidy kid had so much promise, he had his small moment but he should've been a top Mc in the game by this time.
 
Lol at people calling game betrer than anyone.

Dude jacks rapper's styles on songs he's on with them, can't carry his own album, and has to name drop 15 people on each song. Dude is trash.
Had a better debut album than any other G-Unit member.

The Documentary felt like it had a lot more work put into it than the others, but it's a shame he didn't really follow it up. At the time, it felt like Game was going to be the next big thing with that album.

doctors advocate was great.not each album is going to be a classic.

Body Bags > Stop Crying. And I like both guys. Can't believe people think Game can't rap because he has a lot of references in his songs on Documentary when the whole album was supposed to be about 'west coast Resurrection,' so of course he'll name drop. Plenty of shitty rappers who name drop that can't make a hit.

Changes is pretty bad. I'm not feeling it in general. Young Buck with the bombaclot impression made me want to dissassemble and remove the speaker out of my mp3 player.
 
Haha, because the generation I came from was so far/above and beyond what has been out since the G-Unit days, it's hard for me to give props to rappers people look up to today, they just don't stack up (imo)

I love my hip hop grimey, in the projects

Man, it's sometimes easy to forget just how huge G-Unit was. Motherfuckers were running to swap meets to buy fake G-Unit chains.

Is 50 Cent signed to Interscope/Aftermath/Shady anymore? What about Lloyd Banks, Yayo, Young Buck?

Yep this. And you didn't even mention A Tribe called Quest and Black Starr. Hell, I even liked Capone 'n Noreaga when they were together.

I would also like the answer to this. What the hell happened to all of them?

Nah 50 finally got out of interscope this year after they sat on his final contractual release for like 3 years. Jimmy Iovine continues to be a shady sob.

The rest were dropped a long time ago.
 
It's so obvious that this is nothing more than a last ditch effort by 50 to generate buzz for his dead career. Once he feels he has rebuilt his movement he'll drop the group like nothing, just watch. He doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself.

The music is trash.
 
Game is annoying but I enjoyed him when he was rapping with g-unit members. Some legit nice songs. Hate it or Love it was amazing. Also when the chips are down. Also any other song he may have done with shady/aftermath and co like the song with eminem.
