Lil Scrappys album is gonna flop. Banks and Mobb Deep can't even sell gold. M.O.P. is missing in action. Young Buck is the dopest one out of the crew, but he's gonna flop too. This is karma coming back to bite 50 Cent in the ass for all that shit he was talkng about other rappers not selling records.

Everything that goes up comes down eventually

thats for damn sure...g-unit is hip hops backstreet boys and dipset is hip hops nsync...the shit will die down eventually...may take awhile...but it'll go away

Mobb Deep went gold. When other labels have 7x plat (GRODT), 3x times plat (Beg For Mercy), 1.5 plat (Banks), 1x plat (Buck), 2x plat (Game), 5x plat (50), 700.000 (Yayo), 2x plat (GRODT Ost), gold (Mobb Deep) and probably going gold (Banks), then we can talk. Untill then GUnit records remain one of the most succesfull labels in the past few years.
And youre acting like theyre the only ones flopping. Everbofy aint selling this year.

Come on man, cant you see gunit is on the decline? They sold a lot their first years, when the hype was still big. Now it's pretty much over.

Of course it is. No one can sell like that for 4 years. It was normal for them to starting to sell less.
My point was to the people that started saying that GUnit is floppinh.
My point was that:
a) They been sellling like crazy for 3 years, of course its gonna die down eventually
b) everbody else aint sellling shit

50 gotta be hungry on Before I Self Destruct. Bring it back to the Power of the Dollar days, the GRODT days.. Get hungry Fiddy.
But in the end of the day, Fiddy is a dope rapper, 50 brought back the gangsta rap so all y'all haters go ride games dick or sumthin'..

do people expect them to outsell everyone everytime an album is released by them and if they don't its a flop? lol i'm not a big g-unit fan so i'm not really backing up anyone but it seems this is a big deal to a whole bunch of people on here for some odd reason

Why do you only focus on G-Unit flopping? DMX flopped, I don't see topic after topic on that. And how is selling consistantly 300,000 records flopping? Seriously. Read Detox's post man.
US sales:
Yayo - 700,000
BFM - 3 million
50 - 18 million
Banks - 2 million + 300,000 with his new album
Mobb - 500,000
Buck - 1 mill+, with a new album coming out
EVERY label goes through a downspin. You fools are calling "going gold" flopping, when how many hiphop artists when gold this year? 15? Maybe 20? Selling albums in the hundreds of thousands is not flopping. And by your standards, half the albums released in the US are "flopping". When 50 Cent, or a G-Unit group album flops, then G-Unit is finished. Flops = Sells less then 200,000 albums in a month. Thats realistic.
You G-Unit haters, should STOP making topics. Get facts to support your bs arguements. G-Unit isn't as big as it used to be, but until they actually have a real album flop, then make a topic. Fools.

key word, but you still have to go forward and GUNIT is falling fast...

lol @ using excuses to cover up their flops! g-unit is flopping...get used to it g-unit groupies....
-
who gives a fuck about sales... the point is the quality of their music is falling off...

what does mobb deep have to do with g unit? I really don't like g unit(tho mobb deep is ok) so i for the most part don't know what's up with them but I know every time I hear 50 and his people rap on artists I like tracks, i get really sad because it's like "damn, such poor art is so profitable versus hard workin black folks like daz and bad azz who get happy when they go over 100 000. the popularity of gunit really says alot about education in america". that's how i get really. every time.*tear*
also as far as game dick riding....I like Game because he's some one from the west coast that gives being a lyrically mean MC a spirited ass effort. 50 rhymes thug with hug lazily, mono sylabbic and he's rather unpleasant to listen to. it ain't dickriding, it's just preference. I'd like G Unit to be gone not because I'm a hater but because
a) I find I have an unpleasant time when their music comes on
b) They prevent good music from being made (Game/Dre)

I would like someone to direct me to some g unit music before the 'quality had fallen off' and please don't say power of the dollar because I'm not down to download some shit. I'm talking aout some shit I can buy at best buy or circuit city, kthx. when you have to exert effort to hear a quality product from an artist, there's a problem.
-T
-
Until 50 releases his album and flops I wouldn't say Gunit is over...and I don't xpect him to do past numbers, only TI and Jay-z released albums that hit plat this year so If 50 sells between 2-3 million I would consider it a sucess in this generation...

who gives a fuck about sales... the point is the quality of their music is falling off...
exactly...if they actually tried to put some effort into their records instead of making the same type of songs all the time then people might still buy their records...and of course they are flopping, their sales are getting worse with every new release...i dunno how the fuck you can't see this unless your blind.
what does mobb deep have to do with g unit?
??? mobb deep is on gunit records...

Banks second album is way better than his 1st one. The rest havent released their second albums yet (except 50) so your theory doesnt make sense.

Hey well at least they have made more money at this point then you will ever. I'd like to see u, better yet anyone on this site to come out and sell even 1/8 of what Banks does.

"Banks second album is way better than his 1st one. The rest havent released their second albums yet (except 50) so your theory doesnt make sense."
can you explain exactly how the fuck his 2nd album is better then his first? theres way too many fillers on the 2nd album...1st had some dope songs like warrior pt1 & 2, southside story, and some others...

His 1st album tried to appeal to the mainstream too much, some really weak commercial aka universal cuts.
2nd is all about Banks, hes got his typical dark, NY vibe on it. Same with Obies 1st and 2nd LP.
