seriously. i mean i doubt bishop would be i don't see why it wouldn't happen if they want to get him more mainstream recognition. to be fair it probably won't happen cause of the main reason that nobody is checking for g-unit anymore but they have tried to put less 'thugged out' rappers onto the label. he's been throwing a few props and good looks out to 50 and hinting there is some tracks between them so either way i think it's same to assume he'll be on ems album. i think he hinted on the some stuff with eminem quite some time ago.
i'd like to see him on the 50 cd on a feature too, maybe with dre and em too, just to show some unity at the label and that he's got some got approval over there. thoughts?

Bishop really isn't good. I don't know what people see in him. He's good sometimes but for the most part he comes off wack.

You really think he is that bad?
-
I can see him fucking with Em because of the Detriot connection. Him joining G-Unit seems unlikely.
-
I don't think 50's gonna add anymore members to G-Unit, and Bishop wouldn't fit anyway. Em and 50 are probably gonna be on Bishops album but not the other way around.

the only thing is that bishop is more of a back pack rapper than a g ???

Lyrically, Bishop is hot. I'm shocked when I see how little support he gets on this forum, just a lot of criticism (none of it constructive).
Back on topic, you'd think there would be an opportunity for some cross coast appeal with Bishop and 50; I'm surprised they haven't really collaborated. Maybe because Bishop can come off soundling like a West Coast 50 Cent at times?

HaHaHa.......HaHaHa.....HaHaHa..... G-Unit ?!?!.....HaHaHa..... are they even still makin music, last song i herd from them was Poppin Them Thangs, only because Scott Skortch tricked me into think that was a Good Doctor beat.
seriously lets make it a point to not ever mention G-Unit on this forum.

I agree that the hate is getting out of hand ;)
Thanks, will read through that later.

I could see Bishop on a track with Em, could work very well. I'd like to see that happen actually - as said, it would get him more mainstream exposure.
But with G-Unit - nah, that wouldn't work.
-
can't believe how many people don't feel bishop at all either. there might be some kind of argument for him having a lack of 'swag' or whatever but it's undeniable that dude's got flows, lyrics and a deep respect for the culture/the real 'dope cats', like keith murray. look at all the dope producers and rappers he's linked up with. and i'm not saying he's not dope by association or anything because these dudes definitely wouldn't be fucking with him if he was as wack as people make out.
maybe this trend has been heightened by bishop's recent dissing on game. we know this forum and the internet in general is full of a lot of hardcore game stans who think game is the second coming of the westcoast. truth is he's nothing special and his most recent album was mediocre at best. i certainly forgot about it quickly. he's got nothing to say apart from a load of gangsta rap cliches and the endless name-dropping. sure it can be very entertaining on the right tracks but it's too simple to make an argument for him being a great mc or having much substance.

I think there's some truth to that. It's a shame because I'm a big fan of Game too and I'm not gonna pick sides in some petty beef that doesn't affect me.
i'm not saying that Bishop is better than Game either, they are two very different rappers who both happen to be from Cali.

Stat Quo is on the of the realest out. Every interview dude spits the truth. I wish dude success.

word that stat interview was a great listen thanks shade. dude sounds like he's keeping it real 100%.

Gotta Respect Real Talk..
On another note:
Bishop Lamont, Myself and Nune went out to Hollywood last night to pay respects to the homie Warren G for his Birthday!
After the discussion I had with Bishop.. it reconfirmed a lot of things that I already knew about the fate of the music industry.
One of my goals has always been to educate my fellow artists on what they can do to survive this armageddon..
...hence why you are starting to see events like Artists poppin up in the DUBCC Community..
-
is bishop gonna start posting? :laugh: OMG BISHOP TELL US WHAT DETOX SOUNDS LIKE OMG!!! :0
haha
-
So, what exactly is you opinion on the Bishop situation?
-
Jesus, if Bishop joined G Unit, imagine all the hate he would receive (undeservedly IMO) automatically just for that affiliation.
I think he's dope, regardless what label he's on. I could give a fuck if he's on Death Row, G Unit, Koch, Aftermath, Shady, Universal, or selling CDs out of his fucking trunk.....all that matters is he keeps making dope stuff!!!
-
Word, I can see him going that Immortal Technique route. That's the future of this shit, unless the corporations and government dictate the internet, shit ain't turning back to the way it was. Personally, true art can't be controlled - not saying a dude shouldn't be able to eat off his product because one deservedly does.
-
Man are you all serious so u telling me that Grow Up shit is wack??? Come on that is one of the realest tracks I heard in a long ass time, muthafuckas listening 2, to much Souljah boy bullshitt to know what good rap is these days.......Remember Game dissed him first and he spoke the real on Games funny ass ways....... so whats the problem???
-
lol after all the fools that have been kicked out of g-unit why would a stupid mother fucker join.
and lets all be honest theres toooooo much hate on g-unit......beg for mercy, hunger for more, get rich or die trying, straight outta cashville, and the documentary are all hip hop classics. i dont give a fuckkkk what u say cuz thats the truth. i will say that aside from the massacre & buck the world.....g-unit sucks ass now. they lost all there hunger cuz they made wayyy too much money. when they first came out tho? nobody could fuck with them.
and stop hatin on bishop the dude is solid

agree with dude bout stat quo, i liked him fuck if eminem or dre decide to retire they at least have to put their label artists out kno what i mean? its bull shit
-
I'm feeling that Stat Quo interview and I'm feeling like music as an industry is definetly on its way down. I look at something like MTV and it's crazy to me that TRL is off the air. So what does MTV even have as far as its big outlet to push music now? Is it all just gonna be that "Date Rape My Daughter" fake reality bullshit now or what? Anyone remember when they actually would do those half-hour news specials on new artists or on Pac's new albums/movies after his death or when 50 had a new project? Do the record companies just know it's over and are just plain not putting the attention into this shit anymore because it seems like the promotion has been lacking for awhile on many sides?
-
I don't think 50's gonna add anymore members to G-Unit, and Bishop wouldn't fit anyway. Em and 50 are probably gonna be on Bishops album but not the other way around.
50 doesn't add anybody anywhere. jimmy iovine duz..

50's deal with Interscope is up after the next album and that supposedly includes the G-Unit label deal.

I feel what you're saying. He's not the greatest rapper in the world but he's definitely above average. His lyrics are more complex than Games (at least imo) and he has a good amount of songs with substance.
-
Bishop biggest problem is his vocals and flow...and I don't even think they're that bad but... either he's hit or miss. On tracks he usually spits quality shit but comes off like he doesn't care and therefore the effort is half-assed. I don't mind him adopting a lazy-as-fuck flow every now and then but I also want to hear an aggressive-hungry flow which he does have one but lately the passion doesn't seem to be there.
While I also enjoy his take on other artists and the music industry (at least 20 percent of his music is about this), he needs to pack more heat into his vocals to convince me he cares more about rap. I don't want to hear more music from him that goes like "Rap is wack. I'm bored with rap." If so shut the fuck up and quit. I assume he's saving the quality for his album.
Some cats voices are just naturally better sounding. Game tends to have a nicer sounding voice then Bishop. That's no excuse as to why Bishop is a worst vocalist. He just needs to work harder on them.
I'm kind of shocked with his vocals being weak (though they are street album tracks) because everyone says Dre wants that shit to be perfect and he'll have you repeat a line 300 times before he'll let you pass.
Other than that a lot of cats hate on Bishop because he had some minor beef with Game but approve of Game going against Bishop. They some two sided fools.

Nostradamus; :P
Not going to happen
-
well it hasn't happened...but bishop's album hasn't dropped either. doesn't even seem like 2010 is a possibility :-\
g-units days on interscope are numbered though.
-
yeah 50 doesnt have the same power over at interscope anymore
he isnt mr interscope anymore...gunit is pretty much dead as a label, staff, and group like game said
