I find it amusing that people are so interested in when labels or movements fall off... it's as if people expect acts to have a never-ending run.Put it like this; I can't think of one crew or label that was hot that didn't run out of steam eventually. It's nothing surprising, it's just the cyclical nature of music - especially hip-hop, which is obsessed with trends.
Lil Scrappy's new album, which is executive produced by 50 Cent and Lil Jon most likely wont hit 100,000 in sales. Even though this album doesn't carry the G-Unit imprint, it has alot of 50 creative control on it.
He was better without G-Unit

And anyways, all these G-Unit "flops", if you can call selling 300-500k a flop, were OK albums. 50 Cent/G-Unit aren't releasing bad music by any means.

They have most likely barely broke even, based on all the money they put into promtion and paying off clear channel,chill2 years ago yes, this year no. Nobody selling shit.And these GUnit projects other than 50s dont have a high budget. They use lots of up and coming producers. Buck said that they get lot of money from it becuase they dont use hjigh budgets.And lol at the whole another 50 Cent project will flop. First of all 50 had little to do with it and when other artists create such a powerfull label that sold crazy numbers for 3 years than we can talk. Its normal that in time only 50 will remain selling.Scrappys album is one of the best from the Suth this year and as long as GUnit keeps releasing dope music I dont care if they sell 5 copies. Neither should you.

^ I like how you are questioning his logic and "level headedness" while you make "Is Fergie west coast rap" topics. With all the Game groupies on this forum, its good to have a few 50 fans on here. AND OF course he cares about Lil Scrappy's sales. THATS THEIR JOB. Nas, 50, Snoop, Game, make music for MONEY. Thats how they eat, feed their families. Every person on a music label cares about sales. They have too.

Thats how they eat, feed their families. Every person on a music label cares about sales. They have too.Exactly. EVERYBODY cares about sales. And if anyone has the right to brag about them its 50.But when he doesnt sell as much as he said there are like 5 topics about it. But when Game say hes gonna do 1 million first week and then does 300.000 its "he was just playing around, you didnt actually believe him" crap.I might come of as a 50 Cent groupie but thats only becuase there are so many completley biased comments and contradictions here that its just too funny.
He judges his opponents with sales. Snoop only sold 270.000 and 50 said his album is the shit. Of course hes gonna clown Fat Joe for his sales.And about the Lil Scrappy project both 50 and Lil Jon said that 50 didnt do much but collaborate with him and other GUnit artists + that Em joint. Lil Jon was the main man behind the project.
