How strong is the G-Unit empire really on DubCC?
« on: May 30, 2005, 03:04:11 PM »
You're not wearing Dickies like me, you're wearing G-Unit Jeans and Sneakers. Like I said, Ralph Malph, you can't be as cool as me.

Made me wonder... How strong is the G-Unit empire really? Do you own any of their clothing products?

I bought The Documentary but not because of the G-Unit affiliation.

I downloaded Get Rich Or Die Tryin' and The Massacre.

Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and Tony Yayo are worthless to me.

G-Unit does make some nice shoes and clothes but I wouldn't buy any of it.

I listen to all of the mixtapes (where some of their strongest cuts seem to appear), but don't own any of their releases minus ''Get Rich Or Die Tryin'' and ''The Documentary''. Listened to the various other albums, but the only one I would consider purchasing in the future is ''Straight Outta Cashville'', as I felt that it was pretty good. Didn't even waste my cash on ''The Massacre''. As for the clothes, I don't own the shoes (far too pricey over here anyway!) but I have a couple of G-Unit tops. Some of their clothing is nice, some of it is horrible. Just depends on what I see and what they have out at the moment.

So, I suppose you could say that I'm far from a die-hard G-G-G-G-Groupie, but I still check out their material from time-to-time. All this talk of them signing Mobb Deep, MOP, Spider, Kokane, Gorilla Black, etc, is beginning to annoy me though. It's going a bit OTT.

I enjoy G-Unit.  I have most of thier albums.
Their clothes actually look pretty good from what I've seen but I wouldn't wear them.

You can't deny they got a little empire thingy going on, I was just checking to see how people here are fitting in the G-Unit marketing. After all, we're hiphop listeners & customers.

As for myself... There's no way you'll ever catch me wearing anything with a G-Unit label on it. I just feel like it's wrong, wearing clothes that directly relate to a music artist. It reminds me of some stereotypes I hate: those wearing D12 caps or Nirvana shirts. I really wouldn't be caught dead wearing it. I know they have some quite nice shoes and their clothes are allright too, but the G-Unit emblem simply ruins it for me.

On the other hand... Their music, well, you can often find me criticising it, but I actually own copies of too many of their cd's
50 Cent - Guess who's back
50 Cent - Get rich or die tryin'
G-Unit - Beg for mercy
The Game - The documentary
50 Cent - The massacre

I should have bought Young Buck's album too, I was really looking forward to it but when it finally dropped it got distributed real crappy... Once the record stores near me had it (several weeks after it dropped in the USA), I already downloaded the album and I was like - fuck it. Better luck next time, Buck, because his album is actually banging. If you ask me now, that's the second best G-Unit release so far, after The Game's.

IMO G-Unit has the one of the best clothing lines in hiphop. I got the new camo shoes and 2 or 3 shirts.
