50 Cent to release sophmore effort in June 04'

Well yeah, that's why I said "almost". But he has a grip of similarities with both Pac/Big.

Anyways, for those of you wondering, in my Lloyd Banks "Mo' Money In The Bank" mixtape insert it sais 50's "GRODT" is almost at 10 mil worldwide.

50's definately got all he needs for success right where he is. He's got a major label backing him up and several connections to other power figures, like Snoop and P.Diddy - to me it's quite surprising that we haven't heard a 50/Puffy collabo yet, especially since Puffy's love for the man is obvious.

But what comes to Buck's prediction of 1.5 mil for G-unit in its first week - not gonna happen. Sure, it's gonna push major units since now the audience knows what 50 and G-unit are all about and how talented they all are, but 1.5 mil in its first week? C'mon! 50 sold unusually lot in his first week since EVERYBODY was SO hyped about him and his album. The hype G-unit has compared to what 50 had is almost nonexistant in my eyes, at least for now...

I'd agree, but then again if it ends up being marketed as equivalent to a new 50 album, that would be a different story in my eyes. Plaster 50 predominantly on the cover and posters, add a sticker to the front of the CD saying "The Shady debut of 50 Cent's crew..." and maybe a million a week isn't so out of the question...? time will tell.

6-7x platinum and near 10 mill. worldwide = Made man
Every 50-album from now on will go at least 3x platinum.
50's hitmaking talent + Dre's production/experience + Em's hype machine = XX Platinum

Yeah, that's like the perfect combination.
