And it was Yayo who brought Banks to 50.
50 didn't sign Cole because he thought he was “one of these skinny jeans nikkas”

And it was Yayo who brought Banks to 50.
So he had the chance to sign Nicki Minaj, Danny Brown, French Montana, Meek Mill, and J Cole but somehow ended up with Kidd Kidd..

Cole dodged that bullet...G-Unit was already dead at that point, he would've been fukked, stuck with guest verses on 50's struggle mixtapes on some Kidd Kidd ish
Or would 50 have gave Cole 10million dollars like Shawty Lo (to do nothing apparently) instead of the 360 deal he signed with Roc Nation

Game was sort of forced upon him by Interscope and Jimmy Iovine, Fifty didn't even wanna do that situation at first. They had to talk him into it.

50's worst mistake is when he started listening to haters and stopped singing his own hooks. No drake is going plat doing the same thing.
dont 50 wear Skinny jeans ?http://hiphop-n-more.com/2013/08/j-cole-reveals-sha-money-xl-wanted-50-cent-to-sign-him/
Sha Money XL told me once that he brought you to 50 Cent before you signed with Roc Nation. What do you remember about first meeting him?
I didn’t meet 50 when Sha was trying to introduce me, but there’s a crazy story. I was unsigned and my name was starting to get around the industry. I took a meeting with Paul Rosenberg and a meeting with Mark Pitts, but my stuff hadn’t got to Jay Z yet. Nobody was making a move. “Lights Please” and “Lost Ones” were making their rounds, but it wasn’t no real action yet. I ended up in Connecticut at 50’s crib and he wasn’t home that night but people was still in his crib.
Were Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks around?
Yayo, Sha Money and a couple other people were there, but Banks wasn’t that night. Yayo was going nuts, like, “Son!” When I see Tony Yayo today we still talk about that. It was a crazy night. After that, Sha Money was trying to fukk with me heavy. He was like “Son, look, I’m playing 50 your shyt.” Supposedly the story is that he played 50 my shyt and 50 wasn’t sure. Like, “I don’t know, man. Is he one of these skinny jeans nikkas?” He couldn’t see it, but it was a good time in my life. It was brand new, fresh. Being in that crib was amazing.
Imagine Cole w/ G-Unit
Prolly could've been way bigger under 50 than Camel and 50 would've had someone better than Kidd Kidd
Cole dodged that bullet...G-Unit was already dead at that point, he would've been fukked, stuck with guest verses on 50's struggle mixtapes on some Kidd Kidd ish

Shawty Lo didn't actually get 10 million out of the actual deal, it was if he actually find actual talent for 50 so your former assessment is more on point.

the consensus is right, 50 is TERRIBLE at signing artists..
this nikka signed Kidd Kidd, Paris, Shawty Lo, Olivia and fukking Hot Rod,
, and this dude wanted Pastor Mase, 
. didn't he sign Spider Loc too? 
i thought the Pauly D signing was smart tho, because of the jersey shore fame, but that shyt is over with,, that was dumb too
this nikka signed mobb deep after jay-z already bodybagged them
he dropped a Tony Yayo album,
etc....
terrible ear for talent, if he was smart he'd invest more in Banks. instead of giving Banks more promotion money this nikka blew his budget on signing Govener or whatever that nikkas name is,
LMFAO @ Mike Knox
