The game running the west coast / 50 running the east coast/ Buck (in time) running the south.

Who's fault was it that it never happened?

50 started all that beef with The LOX, Fat Joe, etc, ruined it.

I agree that G Unit didn't live up its full potential, Game, Buck & Banks first albums was all dope, IDK how Oliva would have turned out though.

Disloyal ass nikkas. I mean nah, it wasn't on Game to diss Ja & Fat Joe, but if the nikka who cuttin ur checks got serious beef wit nikkas, you don't go against the grain and clique up wit them nikkas on some fukk shyt. 50 a very sensitive, yet morally sound individual. He only makes an ass outta himself when nikkas force his hand. Other than that, he's a financial/marketing genius, and with the team on the same page as him, more videos & promotion for nikkas like Banks, and a few more major signees, these nikkas would be runnin the game to this day.

Dunno if they coulda been as big as deathrow, but Game and Buck's career coulda both been bigger had they not bit the hand that was feedin them..

Game was shelved for how many years before 50 put him on... Buck was a relatively unknown southern artist until 50 picked him up also... Think what did Game was his relation with Henchman and Buck lost his mind on them drugs

Nah, in the mainstreams eyes, nothing more than D-12 with a bit more tough talk. It is what it is.

There won't another Death Row or anything similar... shyt, there won't even be another No Limit, nevermind Death Row.

Bigger than Deathrow:comeon:? Snoop and 50's debuts(yes I'm callin grodt his debut:mjpls:)were top 3 most highly anticipated debuts of all time...but after that I don't. See where u comin up with this:mindblown:...they don't have a Kurupt,damn sure didn't have a Pac or a Dre...prime Cash Money could've come closer had they stayed together.

Nah the quality music was just not there to maintain longevity, but I understand where you were trying to go with your logic.

They did have Dre, he wasn't signed to G Unit but he was in that camp (Shady/Aftermath)

50 was the "Pac" of G Unit, lets be honest here they have LOT of similarities just 50 lack socially conscious songs in his catalog, closest he came was Business Mind on that mixtape.
