50 desperately needs this album to be successful.
Like I've said before, Buck is the only core G-Unit member that I'd actually give a chance at this point. Banks and Yayo are nothing more than 50 cent part 2 & 3.
Its more that theyve realized hip hop aint just GUnit. Both 50 and Buck are working with lots of people from outside the camp for their projects.I think they both relaized from the beginning that name GUnit alone wont keep them at the top.This is even better if you ask me, I was getting tired of them only collaborating with their in hosue producers and artists.
Quote from: Jrome Is The Truth on January 28, 2007, 11:46:45 AM50 desperately needs this album to be successful. Not really...mostly, he just needs his own next album to be successful. Crews in hip-hop rarely stay at the top when there's one rapper who's their focal point...like how nobody's checking for the St. Lunatics anymore even tho Nelly still sells records. But if 50's next record doesn't do well, then yeah, that's pretty much going to signify that G-Unit is done for.
At the end of the day, 50 provided for his homies and crated them the path for cretaing worldwide known LPs on major label.Just check Nelly and St. Lunatics, Snoop and DPG, Luda and DTP, Em and D12, Nas and Bravehearts...And anyobody that doesnt realize that Banks, Buck, Game and Yayo did their numebrs the first time off 50s hype is a fool. Even 50 himself has said that around the time GRODT dropped, they could have released a blank cd and still go plat. Now they have to step their game up. Those are 50s words not mine.I cant remember the last time 50 hyped a cd as much as Bucks. Wheter or not it does its numbers I think its gonna be a great cd. But still GUnit aint over till 50 flops.
^^^^ Em needs to understand that too..
50 makes maaaaad cake from all G-Unit releases. I don't know the exact numbers of course, but I'd be willing to bet its at least 25-50%. Hell he still gets 25% from Game and he's on Geffen now. I'm pretty sure he's concerned with how his artists are selling. He's investing time and money on these artists. Plus there were all those rumors about how Interscope was allegedly severing ties with pretty much everyone on G-Unit except for 50 because they were losing money on those releases. Now who knows how accurate that is, but I bet there is some truth to it and no way would 50 want that to happen.And granted, 50 can release an album and it's still gonna go platinum, but Em & Dre eat off of his album sales too. So when he sees his brand failing, the writing's already on the wall. That's gotta have him concerned.
