One has to consider that "Have A Party" was released to hype Mobb Deep as well. "The Infamous" and "Put Em In Their Place" haven't gotten much airplay either, but #3 is not bad for them. Then again, Yayo debuted at #2 and his record was considered a flop by "G-Unit standards".

What's really funny is they went to G-Unit to do big numbers yet somehow did less their smallest debut week since Juvenile Hell!  Unreal!!!!!!

But really, it woulda been so easy to get them some sales.  All that had to be done was to release Outta COntrol as their first single (take 50's verse off so people know its a MD song) and then release Have a Party as their second single.  Platinum, EASY!  Instead, 50 takes these songs for a sdtrk and a rerelease of his album...............and this guy is considered a business genius???!!!

Well, I hope they're happy with their situation.  And I'm laughin at anybody thinking nobody knew this album was dropping.  I saw these dudes on MTV doing promo's, AHH had interviews, they were on Shade45, they had recent exposure for "Hav a Party", and whatever that wack ass video that was the lead was getting some rotation time. 

I think it's hilarious that they went to G-Unit thinking they would push major units now with Curtis "Interscope" Jackson ::) backing them.  Turns out to be one of their biggest flops. 

And where's RBXtra at?  I want him to explain to me why Nightmares didn't show up on this album...

Disappointing, but I pretty much figured it all along.  "Put Em In They Place" was pretty good, but I just couldn't see that song crossing over (and it hasn't crossed over; I haven't seen it enter the Billboard Top 100 yet).  Maybe "Give It To Me" will do better, but I doubt it.  The problem is simply that Mobb Deep is on a sinking ship at this point - G-Unit is most def falling off, so the days when they could put out an album and expect Gold at a minimum in the first week are over.

Some people act as if street songs never did well.This is dope but like I said before it ain't good enough for a single.Imagine Raekwon putting out Knuckleheadz as a single & shooting a vid for it.I love that song but 1)it doesnt fit for a single & 2)it wouldn't sell any units.

Where did game sell 5 million.... 50 didnt even do 5 million and massacre was the 2nd best selling album of the year behind mariah carey.  I never said he was a flop either.  he was sucessful.  But after he blew he lost of respect for the stupid shit he would say or do.  There are not too many heads that respect game anymore.  Most look at him like a joke now.  Step ya game up.

I dunno, I never would've guessed that "Quiet Storm" would be such a big hit, either; it seemed too dark.  But it was.

Every crossover hit Mobb Deep's ever had blended catchiness with raw street gritiness; at their best, they were one of the few commercial groups that could strike that balance.  "Put Em In Their Place" is gritty, but it ain't really all that catchy or anything.  It just didn't have what they needed to cross over.

so if all the beef didnt go down with Game and 50, would g-unit be in the same state?  IMO, they would be at the top as they were before Game dropped.  50 wants everyone in g-unit to be his bitch.  and because Game thinks he is just as good as 50, he basically took what everybody thought, and he said it while ryming.  and g-unit was the biggest thing out at that time.  its not that Game only took the credibilty of 50, Banks, Yayo, Buck; but he took the credilbilty off the NAME of G-Unit.  so who ever joins the group, no matter the prior status, while drop dramtically in credibility.  Yes, The Game fucked g-unit doggystyle.   :banana_dsf:

Lmao, Game didnt do shit. Its natural for the people to get tired of the same sound. GUnit has been on top for the past 3,4 years. Of course they gonna stop someday. 50 Cent is still gonna go multi plat, hes not gonna leave the top that easy.

Nobody, outside the internet fans, even knows about Game disses and shit like that. Most of the people that are buying albums, buy them after they see the video on MTV or promotional adds...Its not becuase Game dissed GUnit.Lol

GUnits future will depend on the next 2 releases. From Banks and Buck. I think 50 gonna change some things now. But he probably knew signing Mobb Deep and M.O.P. was a gamble.

about mobb deep sales.........no doubt dissapiointing, gunit is slippin big at the moment........yayo and now this....its time to go back to banks and buck and hope they sell like they did first time around, but noone can deny they slippin hard at the moment, cuz they playing the same song different name everytime around...same topics, generic shit......thats why to hear busta come out with touch it so was dope, cuz that shit is dfferent to what anyone else is droppin right now

As Detox Is Coming has said, all of this is stuff he did on mixtapes, and the majority of the TRL crowd that bought Game's and 50's albums doesn't pay attention to that shit at all.

If shit that goes in the streets is what destroyed G-Unit, then under that logic, Game must also be destroyed.  His credibility took as much of a beating this year as G-Unit's.  His own brother and all of his homies turned on him and told everyone that they only let him rep Cedar Block to give him street cred for his rap career.  Then that picture of him throwing up Santana Blocc when he's supposed to be a Piru came out.  And now, his entire record label has fallen apart and he's pretty much helpless to put it back together.  Furthermore, nobody can deny that 50 held as much responsibility for "The Documentary"'s success as Game himself...people only became interested in him after he joined G-Unit and started hanging out with them on MTV, plus the album's two biggest hits were both songs that featured 50 singing the hook.  I'm sure Game will continue to sell decently as long as he's got Dre and Eminem behind him, but there's no way he's ever going to live up to what he accomplished on "The Documentary", so I doubt his career is guaranteed much long-term success.

Also, I like Eminem, though I don't like "Encore", and I ain't white.

If what Big Samo said is true, then it's not on a G-Unit album.

He's mistaken.  The track that he's referring to has always been a Dre / Busta track.  Busta talked about how they brought a box full of dirt into the studio, and started digging the dirt out and sampled it into a beat.  It has never been a beat for MD, nor have they ever suggested it was. 

I just think it's hilarious how Mobb Deep got fucked out of their 2 Dre beats.

Disappointing, but I pretty much figured it all along.  "Put Em In They Place" was pretty good, but I just couldn't see that song crossing over (and it hasn't crossed over; I haven't seen it enter the Billboard Top 100 yet).  Maybe "Give It To Me" will do better, but I doubt it.  The problem is simply that Mobb Deep is on a sinking ship at this point - G-Unit is most def falling off, so the days when they could put out an album and expect Gold at a minimum in the first week are over.

we're in the middle of g-unit crumbling. Game took most of their credibility, they will be the next death row in 2 yrs. ;)

It may be true that G-Unit is crumbling, but Game sure as hell ain't the one who's responsible. We don't listen to dickriders.

And where's RBXtra at?  I want him to explain to me why Nightmares didn't show up on this album...

Because it didn't get cleared...that has been said already.  I'm not buying into your BS conspiracy shit, so don't even bother.

so if all the beef didnt go down with Game and 50, would g-unit be in the same state?  IMO, they would be at the top as they were before Game dropped.  50 wants everyone in g-unit to be his bitch.  and because Game thinks he is just as good as 50, he basically took what everybody thought, and he said it while ryming.  and g-unit was the biggest thing out at that time.  its not that Game only took the credibilty of 50, Banks, Yayo, Buck; but he took the credilbilty off the NAME of G-Unit.  so who ever joins the group, no matter the prior status, while drop dramtically in credibility.  Yes, The Game fucked g-unit doggystyle.   :banana_dsf:


Game did not take credibility from G-Unit at all. G-Unit did it to themselves, imo by 50 always hatin on Ja for singing on records and turning around and doing the same thing. G-Unit was immensly popluar at their peak, but like anything that is that much exposed, it becomes overkill and people get tired of it. They are both ( G-Unit/Game ) equally being laughed at by the industry. Plus, that G-Unot shit is played out.

1)Their constant play on the radio, they're gettin played out
2)The Game
I'm sorry but if some y'all didn't notice that Game had his part in destroying G-Unit, I don't know, you've gotta be blind.

It'll be better then the doc, it just won't sell as well. But Game has his share of groupies and like UKWII said, he's on Aftermath. He'll get his magazine articles and music videos so he'll do alright. Plus Interscope will market him better then they did for Mobb Deep. :P

well i ment better sales ways, ofc it will be better of quality, I HOPE SO. but the fact that an aftermath artist has to wait 100 years for an album of him gets released on the label doesn't really sound promising it'll come out soon

Lmao, Game didnt do shit. Its natural for the people to get tired of the same sound. GUnit has been on top for the past 3,4 years. Of course they gonna stop someday. 50 Cent is still gonna go multi plat, hes not gonna leave the top that easy.

Nobody, outside the internet fans, even knows about Game disses and shit like that. Most of the people that are buying albums, buy them after they see the video on MTV or promotional adds...Its not becuase Game dissed GUnit.Lol

GUnits future will depend on the next 2 releases. From Banks and Buck. I think 50 gonna change some things now. But he probably knew signing Mobb Deep and M.O.P. was a gamble.

Said it better than I ever could, Detox Is Coming.  Don't worry, tho...Suckaa Free has a long history of Game/BWS dickriding, so he's not worth bothering with.

why im i ridding, because i post news about the game and BWS in the west coast connection?  look, before game strated beefing with g-unit, they were at the top. yes, i do understand that after a while shit gets boring, but game was like the fuckin catalyst(he speed shit up). Before Game, g-unit have beefed with many rappers, none have which  dramticaly hurt them.    as soon as Game starts beefing with them, they start to loose steam.  if game didnt do anything when he was in their camp, you cant argue that they still would be at the top.  maybe 50 would have not probably signed anyone after game, if he stayed.  so to say im a dickridder, fuck you.  beeyatch.

LOL @ people thinking Game "took down" G-Unit, they did that job pretty good themselves, peep game:

50 played out his jokers: two 50 albums, Banks album, Buck album, G-Unit album, then when he thought "they'll buy anything", he started slipping:

* Yayo album - Not only complete garbage, 50 thought that if he put his mug on the first single/video, it would sell. A Yayo album was a bad idea from the get-go.
* GRODT OST - If not the worst soundtrack, it was a little bland, and soundtracks usually doesn't sell that much, especially not when the movie itself gets poor reviews.
* Mobb Deep album - Their worst album yet, 50 thought that a gang of 50 cameos and even some unknown ass producers would save the sales, even without a proper single?

With this line-up of poor albums, you don't need to look no further for a explanation of the sales.  :grumpy:

but as an artist, most of the heads that i know are still checking for him -- his flow and punchlines have gotten 1000X better, and nobody can deny that he ripped g-unit way harder than anything that they did to him.  that shit was so defiant and hateful, kinda like no vasoline, malcom x, and ether... whenever the "underdog" goes after the top dog like that and does a good job, people are going to show respect.  regardless of all of the bullshit that he's done EVERYONE is going to be checking for his album.

When it all comes down to it, who really cares about this shit anyways...they had their beef, in my opinion Game made them look like clowns, and overall I like Game much more than anyone outta the G-Unit camp. But that's not going to stop me from bumping G-Unit tracks, because most of the time, G-Unit material comes correct on production. Both 50 and Game are capable of making dope music, so it's not really an issue of taking sides as far as my personal opinion goes.

The Yayo album didn't sell too well because it was released on August 30th, 2005. Had Yayo dropped an album on August 30th, 2003,  it would've been a different story. Like it or not, Yayo was a hot commodity at the time because G-Unit had just started really taking off, the Free Yayo shit was taking off and Tony Yayo himself had a decent amount of skill before he was released from prison. He got outta prison, became lazy like most G-Unit artists and started putting out the same tired shit that keeps getting reheated time and time again. I liked his album in a way, I thought he had some dope production...but it's understandable why he didn't do big numbers.

The Mobb Deep album is solid, imo. The lack of any big singles will hurt them, unless they put out something quick and it catches on.

if banks and buck dont sell........interscope gone be pissed at game.........im pretty sure they already are mad pissed........the nigga made them nuff paper, but played a major role in them not making as much as they use to off gunit..........

it'll be interesting to see how much banks sell.....i think he'll do good, he got alot of bitches who like his shit, and the eminem groupies will def cop it cuz of his involvement in the album.........will easily sell mo than mobb
