nothing...they flooded/dominated the market w/ music and had an insanely successful run that wasn’t gonna be sustainable forever...if anything the same thing that helped them “hurt” them in the long run and that was oversaturation...but imo if they didn’t attack the market in the way that they did they wouldn’t have achieved such high success
What REALLY Happened to G-unit?

Maybe, but their untouchable run was over at that time. This was at the time the new generation was coming up. People were more interested watching Drake & J. Cole becoming superstars.

50 didn’t steal Ja’s style at all

funny enough he had the opportunity to sign a lot of people who turned out to be stars but opted not to, that g unit pendant should be roc pendant status these days

Nothing happened.
They had their time on top like a lot of crews for a minute, and then time moves on to the next.

I feel like Wayne, Ye, Ross, and them show how to...survive the times...maybe even Jadakiss, Fabolous, or Pusha T.
It's not always about being the most successful...but staying successful and relevant and outlasting.
G unit and 50 had way more potential than what actually occurred.

Yea G-Unit sold a ton of records, but lasting on top was kind of short lived. It happens to a lot of groups but not many can match up with guys like Wu-the Tang, Bone Thugs etc. and it’s not always about sales, it’s about making good music & longevity. A good example is Fat Joe, he never sold as much but he’s been around making hits for decades.
Ross clearly is in a better position than the other 2 currently.
He can still make music worth listening to and get talked about currently.
Nah.. Nobody cares for Ross.. It's all about the new generation or rappers.
They became caricatures of themselves..
50 brought a lot of toxicity to NY rap, and destroyed the unity and camaraderie that had existed and NYC never recovered. G Unit killed NYC rap
For all their trying to hog the limelight, they were very average musically and thus not sustainable over time.
