Final G-Unit Sale Numbers

[OchoCinco]

nas also is in a lyrical game miles above 50 and gunit and that has a big thing to do with it ...not jus the beats

[R-Tistic]

The singles were pretty bland...not terrible, but nothing that moves you. The club reaction is like "eh, ok..."

Damm though, that is probably the worst first week in G-Unit history...even Yayo did twice that in his first week.

[Blood$]

ouch...

but LMAO, they deserve it (no hate)

ya thats true, but I mean g-unit's hooks were horible. Nas had great lyrics and catchy hooks and got some dope singers on the hooks.

ya thats true, but I mean g-unit's hooks were horible.

yea, strange too...50 is usually mad good on the hooks.

[Sikotic™]

I predict Curtis will blame it on the economy.

[chicharo]

g-unit is finished, but the poor output and sales of this album is due to some kind of friction between 50 and jimmy more than just the straight failure of the unit. it could have easily had some generic timbaland single and decent promotion if relations were still good at interscope...

i think it just comes down to making good music. being 50 cent is good enough promotion. he had no problem selling when dre was behind the boards cause it good music. and i think making buck look like a bitch was the worst promo move ever, dude was still going to be on your album talking gagnsta shit and u release a tape of him crying talk about shooting yourself on the foot.

[Matty]

thats very true. if 50 still had the dre (although the its been a while since dre produced a hit record) behind the boards it'd be a wrap. same goes for a timbaland single cause tim is consistantly making good music from a production viewpoint. that single he had on curtis might of been corny but musically it sounded better than the rest of the album and for that reason crossovered well. i just think there are politics at the moment preventing 50 from either releasing any 'good' music or he's on strike from making any kind of quality mainstream record.

Let me play devil's (or 50, same thing at times.  ) advocate for a minute since I am bored.

50 has all but shown he is done with Interscope with this release.

Being the ego maniac he is, he personally wants his "last" album to go out with a bang, so he is saving all his resources (Dre, Timbo, etc) for a grand finale album to show what Interscope will be missing once he leaves

Any non 50 solos from now till his release will most likely be on a low budget and low promo. (Translation: Yayo and Banks are FUCKED!)

If he really wanted to stay with Interscope he could have come up with a better product then this album ( I liked most of it, but BFM was damn near a personal classic for me)

Now back to reality. This shit is funny as fuck! You live by album sales, you will die by album sales. Game take notes, you might be next if ya ain't careful.

lol yeah, this reminds me of what Eazy-E said:

in a game called 5 minutes of fame,you wasted 4 mimutes; now you got seconds left, kick it

This news makes me very happy.

Don't get me wrong, there are some 50 Cent and G-Unit records I've loved, and I thought 'GRODT', 'Beg For Mercy', 'Hunger for More' and 'Straight Outta Cashville' all had some awesome tracks. But Curtis Jackson, as much as even ringtone rappers like Soula Boy, is responsible for further commoditising rap music. More than any other rap act I can think of today, he has used his business acumen to help him develop a facade, a public image that he can't let slip - and with every billion-dollar deal he strikes, it becomes more laughable that he still insists on putting out such cliched, so-called hardcore bullshit. Since 'GRODT', 50 has failed to evolve as an artist in any respect - in fact, his music is arguably much worse. This is the proof that hip-hop heads are tired of it.
