Does anyone know who was signed to Aftermath first... 50 Cent or the Game?

yeah i thought so to, also i think the fact that Shady brought him in as an artist first Dre just co-signed and put 50 out first, Game was signed in 2002 right? and 50 was signed in 2003?

50 Cent was signed in 02

Neg....50 was signed first......if that was the case why wasn't game on 50's first album? Game was independent at that time I got his cd's when he was fuckin wit JT tha Bigga figga!

Probably because they had already started recording for 50's album by the time Game started coming around, plus they probably didn't want to scatter a no-name rapper all over 50's album.

I think Game was signed to some Aftermath developmental contract first. Game has some cameos in 50's first video on Aftermath, the In Da Club Video. Blink and you'll miss them. Don't know the exact dates

I always thought Game was signed and on the shelf waiting before they even signed 50. But once they signed 50 it was clear nobody else was getting any of the spotlight for a while lol.

Like Tony Yayo, Young Buck, and Lloyd Banks? Besides, he said featured, not heavily featured.

But they were at least in his G-Unit crew.  It's not much different from Nelly having the St. Lunatics on Country Grammar.

But not in the beginning, and definitely not in the end.  Adding him to G-Unit was at the suggestion of people outside the group... supposedly Jimmy Iovine was one person who thought that Game should be on there to give the group a guy from the West Coast who also happened to be in-house.

I think these are all the songs 50 & Game recorded together:

Game, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks - It's So Hard (The First Track Game recorded with G-Unit)
50 Cent, Game - I Warned You...Don't Push Me
50 Cent, Game, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck - I'm So Sorry
50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Game - Where I'm From (Remix)
50 Cent, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, Game - Y'all Ain't Fuckin' With Us
50 Cent, Tony Yayo, Game - Do You Remember
Game ft. 50 Cent - Count On Me
Game ft. 50 Cent - Westside Story
Game ft. 50 Cent - Hate It Or Love It
Game ft. 50 Cent - How We Do
50 Cent ft. Game, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck - Hate It Or Love It (G-Unit Remix)

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

But some of those could b "a feature" vs him actually bein n the group like buck banks n yayo

50 was signed first. According to one Game interview, I believe it was on "Life After The Math" DVD, Game says when he first joined Aftermath, they were in the studio recording "In Da Club".

As for the G-Unit group thing, I've never thought of Game as a member. He's never been credited as one. Buck was, Game wasn't.
