Game sold what, 500K-600K more than Banks ?
"The whole Game and 50 cent beef was my fualt, I caused it. I didnt want game to suffer the lack luster sales that G-Unit memebers llyod banks and young buck had
I doubt he sold 4 mill worldwide. But the fact is Game wanted to in g-unit, why else would he get pissed the hell off when 50 kicked him out. If he didn't care he would've taken the money 50 made him, and walked away. Fact? Game wanted to be in g-unit more then 50 wanted him too.
Fact is Game is a 50 Cent wannabe.But its nothing wrong with that.Every rapper wants to take the 50 spot.The fact is Game would have never blown the way 50 Cent did.He didnt have an "In Da Club" or "P.I.M.P." record.He didnt have so much hype and he doesnt have one thing 50 cent does.And thats a talent for song writing.And everybody thats saying how 50 screwed Game.In think its not like that.Game and 50 both said that Games album was going nowhere when he was only on the Math.If you ask me,Game would have been another Hittman if it wasnt for GUnit.

It's definitely his trademark and the one cut he'll be remembered for. Game was meant to drop "Higher" as the first single, which had the potential to be a huge, huge hit that would have easily eclipsed "How We Do" IMO. Not saying it would have performed as well as "In Da Club", which was a truly phenomenal success, but "Higher" would have given Game a further chance to prove himself without 50. As for Game not having a talent for song-writing, I sort of agree. 50 has an undeniable talent at that, in that he can write catchy tracks and the kind of hooks that get into your head so quickly. Game's lyricism HAS improved but, bar the afore-mentioned "Higher", I think it remains to be seen whether or not he can write hit singles.Finally, 50's "spot" is definitely slipping. Get Rich outsold The Massacre easily - although The Massacre was still a smash hit, no denying that. His movie flopped, and each subsequent G-Unit release seems to sell less than the one before (although I'm confident that Mobb have the potential to outsell shitty Yayo). I've said it once and I'll say it again - he's drawing ever closer to over-saturating the market. 50 may be poweful, but as he's said numerous times before, Em and Dre hold even more power (remember the MTV News spot and 50 was asked about this? Sway asked him something like who holds the most power and Fif answered really solemnly "Ultimately, it all comes down from Dre" or somthing similar. You know 50's fiending for that spot!) and rule Interscope before he does. He can't really rival their success. Maybe in some markets, yes, but not overall.

Maybe in some markets, yes, but not overall.I agree with most of that, but I don't think Higher would have had nearly the effect as "How we do", even though it woulda been better for Game seein that people wouldn't say he was ridin off 50 for a hit. I thought Hate it or love it was a great song but TERRIBLE choice for second single, being that 50 was on the first two main singles, and not just a hook or a verse but as much (and more) lyrics than Game. Higher was hot, but it didn't have that catchiness or that 808 kick feel to it that makes people bump it and love it in the clubs.
