When you started this thread what way did you think it would end up? I gave my thoughts on Game reaching out to 50 on the first page but then it (predictably) went off-topic. Now, for everyones sake, shut up and get over it :pac:0 -

I agreed with the majority of Jagers post, that's why I thanked it. Is there something wrong with that? There's no denying that G-Unit often come out with very R&B heavy tracks (Wanna Get To Know You, Smile, Ride Wit U, etc.) I didn't take it as a dig to G-Unit though, I like those songs...
What has BWS got to do with this topic? Why would I start talking about BWS for no reason? Doesn't make sense...It's more of Games cronies more than anything else though, seems like nearly every rapper has his 'own label' thse days. For all you know Game could have set up his own company (BWS) for tax reasonsand never intended to make a huge, worldwide record label.
The main reason Game was so successful is because he was working a lot with 50, the biggest rapper at the time. Game owes a lot of his success to 50. If anything, he became less successful after he cut ties with 50. Am I wrong?
Yes, please post a link from a reputable source and not Wikipedia.
50 Cent booted M.O.P. off the label because he knew they would flop, just like Mobb Deep did. Mobb Deep lost a lot of their real fans when they sold out and signed to G-Unit. I mean Prodigy getting a G-Unit tattoo was pretty ridiculous :pac:
+1. Not one of those links says that Beg For Mercy sold "6 Million copies worldwide".
Mate, I'm not being pedantic, I'm stating facts. Listen to yourself. 50's albums were released under Shady/Aftermath/Interscope. Nothing to do with G-Unit Records. So, technically, they were not released under G-Unit. Hate to break it to you, but 50, as a solo artist, is not, nor was he ever, a G-Unit Records artist.
G-Units albums were released under G-Unit/Interscope. So, technically, it was released under G-Unit.
Understand? Or do I have to explain it to you again?
MUFCboy and Hughcream: Openly stating that your only source for this information has been Wikipedia really isn't doing you two any favors. RIAA, fair enough, but Wikipedia? Come on lads, I hope you're not expecting anyone to take you seriously...
None of them flopped? LOL.
Did it say that on Wikipedia too?
Really? It's that easy? Wow. Thanks for the tip.
May as well take Wikipedia as gospel then!
Eh...not really.
Wow. I'm convinced.
That settles it then. Sorry I ever questioned your sources!

considering the comment had nothing to do with game being bi-polar and you being a game stan i think so, im sure if that was the other way around you'd be quick to reply and by the way let me clear this up you agreed with jagers post even though he was wrong:D go back and read the comment.

lL answer that question with a question considering this is where it started, what does all this g unot stuff and g unit being rubbish got to do with game being bi-polar? so again pretty for the 2nd time if people are critising g unit well then why not critise bws since we were off topic anyway;), please thats one of the worst excuses for bws being terrible.

no, but le king seems to think so, i was actually replying to him;), game owes his mainstream career to 50 and dre period without them he would of been dropped and would of been just another rapper you probably would of never heard of, i think dre could of put anyone half decent from the west with 50 and it would of had the same outcome as game success wise to be honest.
Yes, please post a link from a reputable source and not Wikipedia.
I can get the american sales but as i said i cant find a worldwide database for them other than wiki. your more than welcome to search yourself if you feel that strongly about g unit outselling any of game's albums individually.

are you a parrot now? you just repeated me about M.O.P more or less i basically just said thatye mobb deep flopped i said that also
that wasnt the first time mobb deep flopped but its a big deal because they were signed with g unit right:rolleyes: what have tattoos got to do with anything? you do know the slagging game gets over the covered up butterfly tattoo from his stripper days :rolleyes:

if you check wiki you would actually find most of the information is correct or close to it, but im sure they do have mods to tackle fanboys like yourself making stan like changes.
Really? It's that easy? Wow. Thanks for the tip.
you obviously got the hang of it, im sure you have game's bio edited to your point of view.
May as well take Wikipedia as gospel then!
better than taking game's word or jagers anyway which judgeing by this thread is exactly who you seem to do.
Eh...not really.
Eh yes really in a lot of cases's. Can you back it up where's your source that they dont???
Wow. I'm convinced.
look pretty beg for mercy outsold all 3 of game's efforts individually dont cry about it.
That settles it then. Sorry I ever questioned your sources!
another great reply, being sarcastic only makes you look like more of a childish stan.0 -

OK, the comment reads as follows:
"Wasn't G-Units last album some sort of crappy collection of RNB love ballads?? The Game still has more bite to his music than anything 50 cent or the rest of his clowns have ever put out. Yeah he name drops too much, but I'd buy a Game album any day over any crap Yayo or them put out."
How is anything in that post "wrong"? It's his opinion and judging by all the thanks that post has, others feel the same way. I agreed with his post because I think Game's music can be more aggressive and can have more "bite" than G-Unit singing about making their girls "smile". I prefer Game as an artist to 50/Banks/Yayo and I would buy his album before I would buy any of theirs.
Jagers post is not right or wrong, but I share his opinion, simple as.lL answer that question with a question
So you won't answer the question? OK.considering this is where it started, what does all this g unot stuff and g unit being rubbish got to do with game being bi-polar? so again pretty for the 2nd time if people are critising g unit well then why not critise bws since we were off topic anyway;), please thats one of the worst excuses for bws being terrible.i think dre could of put anyone half decent from the west with 50 and it would of had the same outcome as game success wise to be honest.
Dre signed Game, not 50. The G-Unit collab was marketing at it's best, nothing more. 50 Cent is down as executive producer, but what did he do? Write 2-3 hooks? Good on him. He was happy to jump on board the project because he knew himself that it was a good business move.
Interscope and Dre we're milking the East meets West story, potentially the two biggest artists in the industry, from two different sides of the map, working hand-in-hand with Dre, the biggest producer in the industry. Jimmy and Dre looked at Game, a pure, relentless West Coast blood, and 50, the underdog from New York that climbed his way to the top, and they saw dollar signs. And it worked well for a while...I can get the american sales but as i said i cant find a worldwide database for them other than wiki. your more than welcome to search yourself if you feel that strongly about g unit outselling any of game's albums individually.you just repeated me about M.O.P more or less i basically just said thatif you check wiki you would actually find most of the information is correct or close to it, but im sure they do have mods to tackle fanboys like yourself making stan like changes.you obviously got the hang of it, im sure you have game's bio edited to your point of view.better than taking game's word or jagers anyway which judgeing by this thread is exactly who you seem to do.
As far as taking Games word...maybe I have? I'm not sure what you mean TBH. I guess I could say I have taken Games word in the same way you've taken 50's word (eg. "I wrote all of Games songs, he would have been shelved if it wasn't for me"). You believe every word of that, but how do you know it's true?Eh yes really in a lot of cases's. Can you back it up where's your source that they dont???look pretty beg for mercy outsold all 3 of game's efforts individually dont cry about it.
'Doctors Advocate' and 'LAX' have sold more than T.O.S., that's just a fact. Do you really care though?another great reply, being sarcastic only makes you look like more of a childish stan0 -

here's the link for the numbers beg for mercy done in america alone where they match up to wiki's stats.
http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH_RESULTS
i dont know of any official sites for worldwide sales other than wiki iv tried searching for one, its a common known thing most big mainstream artists will sell more worldwide, and you have to remember this was in 03-05 where 50 was breaking soundscan records he could of sold a blank cd back then:D
the fact beg for mercy was on billboards top 200 albums of the decade where a lot of others weren't is a good enough indication that it sold 6 million worldwide even though the billboards are for america only.
why is that so hard to belive? i even know at least 4 or 5 people with this album in my area it was fairly popular with 2 or 3 good singles.
All the RIAA site says is 2 x Platinum, which means anywhere between 2m to 2.99m which isn't really exact. I'm actually genuinely curious to see what the real figures are and I couldn't find any source for worldwide figures other than Wiki which itself has no source for them.
Charting on the Billboard Top 200 isn't really that high of an indicator for worldwide performance unless you're Michael Buble.
How many of those 4 or 5 people you know have The Documentary? I'm not taking a dig here. I'd just like to see a source other than Wiki being used to back up figures. If there isn't one then you have to be prepared for people not taking it as gospel.0 -
When did you school me? All I did was discredit your whole argument before telling you to shut up, which you did. Safe to say I learned my lesson
I've said nothing that could be discredited,nor have you even attempted to discredit anything I've said.
I'll admit you did tell me to shut up,and I've been hurt deeply since the telling off but I'm over it now and ready to continue schooling you.:cool:0 -
