buck making a cameo on game's 'my life video' on the tail end of game's beef with 50 probably got under 50's skin even though 50 let buck back onto the TOS g-unit album but it was 'featuring young buck' so buck probably got lower dividends than the rest of the group members...similar to banks' picture with game in dubai but it's alright when the boss 50 talks to game in the club, then no big deal...the double standard of it all like a jealous ring leader.
the taped crying phone conversation was probably a trap for the game but 50 used it on buck when buck got desperate and wanted to come back. game dissing the members one by one saying that they can only afford lower budget SUVs or the ones that are leased by 50 on some birdman vibe when 50 is just making sure that the group members don't spend their money on anything stupid was probably that on that control tip around the time when co-authoring the 50th law with that 48 laws of power author
50 said years later that his g-unit experiment was a flop because the members couldn't flap their wings and go independent but it's 50's control habits that made them deliver all their hits under the g-unit branding (or for free on mixtapes) for 50 to profiteer and get a cut of their success...50 can't have it both ways -- either let your artists roam free and make a mess learning from their own mistakes or keep them on a tight leash and have them be extremely loyal and docile around 50 like tony yayo but be completely dependent on 50 when making choices

and yet again, LA has a large rap market that has been starving for years before the game came along and selling 5 million to just LA's population is easy compared to other localities of the east coast traditional boom bap heads that hate that new sound, down south bootlegging, and the midwest riding to what's hip with limewire. they tried to go global with regional acts and 50 kept on signing down south new orleans or west coast crip replacements just to spite buck and game for them to keep g-unit representing all regions when the ring leader wants to clamp down on complete control -- 50 should have handed his g-unit members a copy of 48 laws of power before they joined and told them to study that so they were at least on the same page of not surpassing the master or doing something unauthorized by 50
50 moreless used buck as a sacrificial lamb to show other g-unit members what would happen if they betray 50, leveraging what remaining control 50 has over the rest of the g-unit discography, and buck got screwed into bankruptcy but at least he has a mouthpiece to talk about it without label contracts stopping him to make that podcast money like every other rapper nowadays
