Did anyone think their phone was tripping at the beginning?

Banks never really cared for the spotlight tho. But he had the potential to be a star. But at least he’s still active...

50 always says his respect for Eminem comes from em helping him when he couldn’t help himself. 50 got the leg up then did the rest himself. That’s what 50 expected from the gunit members but he doesn’t feel they helped themselves and he wasn’t going to carry them the whole time. That’s why he’s done with them.

That Beg for Mercy album was one of the best group albums in Hip-Hop...

As much as I enjoyed G-UNIT we never got to see G-UNIT's full potential.

I’m from Serbia and rap was a new thing here during the 2000’s but 50 was the man as soon as he appeared. You had local clothing stores making 50 cent branded clothing, it was crazy when I think back. Dude has this menacing aura, like he has the power to singlehandedly make or break people in the industry.

I grew up in the early 2000’s listening to them. Regardless of what people think nowadays they had A LOT of bangers back to back to back

Them G unit days was lit. Each member just had their own vision nothing wrong with it

I believe after 50 got shot up that changed him as a person. He was the next upcoming hot rapper everyone was talking about was gonna blow, he was on Colombia he was with trackmasters everyone was in his corner and his best friend life was great!! Then when he got shot it all disappeared nobody wanted to deal with him anymore and he couldn't even get anyone on the phone all that industry shit was gone. He had to rehabilitate from the shooting then use all his money to get back on his music grind and climbed his way all the way back up to being that next hot rapper. I think that experience made him cold hearted the dude doesn't get along with ANYONE he cant even love his OWN SON and almost every artist hes ever worked with hes flipped on. 50 is very intelligent and driven but hes emotionally broken he needs some real therapy but hood dudes dont do therapy so it's a wrap.

G-Unit failed for a lot of reasons, the beginning was great. They had a two hit records and they made their own fan base real quick, but imo it all fell apart due to constant beefing and infighting. 50 should have just let Game go if he didn’t want to be there or make him fulfill his Contact and then cut him loose, but it became a huge issue with G-unit putting out songs to beef with The Game and other rappers instead of actually making Hit records and Touring. Another thing was that 50 had beef or started beef with every new NY Rapper, so when the rest of G-unit tried to get features for their songs everyone turned them down. It was a catch 22 imo the rest of G unit can fight 50’s battles and beefs or go in the booth and make actual hit songs, both choices have their consequence.

G UNIT will not be forgotten!!

"G-G-G-G-G-UNIT!!"

G Unit was so busy with The Game they forgot to make money.

Lloyd Banks is one of the most underrated rappers of all time

50 doesnt really respect anyone who doesnt have the same work ethic as him. Also the book 48 laws of power is his bible, if you read that book you will understand a lot of the stuff 50 does.

Fifty is a monster he's not even cool with his son, his biological son

I see where fif is coming from. Dudes just harsh af about it

50 cent is a sociopath. I sort of feel bad for g unit rappers but they knew who he was and stood by him. The game was the only smart guy who saw the fall of g unit

They make 50 cent look like a mini Suge.

G-Unit had a legit reign of dominance 2003 - 2006.

"The problem lies with in whether 50 provided the nourishment that he believed he did. Or, if in actual fact his overbearing nature sapped their will to follow in his footsteps". That was a really good way to phrase that. Well put.

50 is a ferociously ambitious individual who thrives off competition and negativity. The other members of G-Unit didn't necessarily share those traits or his vision, so there was bound to be problems.

50 cent does not know when to stop and always takes things too far, when he has an enemy he will stop at nothing to crush them. See how he can’t get past the issues with his son.

Now it kinda makes sense why Game was so adamant about having a powerful person like Henchmen between him and 50's business dealings...

Banks is still dope. His FNO mixtapes with Dj drama are classics

He experienced a traumatic event in his life that changed how he views relationships. Of course he’d want to forget a crew that he sees as a another failed attempt at having a real family of his own. Add a high-functioning work ethic and some sociopathic tendencies, and that’s the kind of businessperson you deal with.

"Hip-hop gold rush of early 2000's." Facts.

G unit is legendary they will never disappear out of history

I love that Eminem looked out for D12, even having Bizarre do an intro on Music to be Murdered by. I've read 50 cents last book , he doesn't seem to have any close friends that he's known for any real amount of time. Em mentions on several songs that he grew up with D12. Rip Proof. I also hope one day 50 can make peace with himself , I felt his book was very angry at everyone . Angry at his Son , his ex , etc, angry at G Unit. Not a good way to live

0:20 the audio isnt right?

I swear I see skillshare everywhere Yo those were some bars

Hot off the f#&$% presses let's get it. If yall read this I hope you get money today ✊🏾💯

G-unit or no G-unit.... Lloyd banks still is one of the greatest lyricists to this date..

Still one of the best groups of all time, all good things come to an end. Love the unit. Still got loads of their music in my library!

black on black . Vlad is surely LOL somewhere..

This was my first video and I subscribed. You've got an excellent way with words. The Gunit era will not be forgotten.

I would NEVER EVER do business with 50cent

We were told on all the mixtapes and albums that Tony Yayo was gonna blow up as soon as he was released. Then he came out, went to #2 off the work they put in for him, then after that he just disappeared and nobody even thinks of him as part of the main 3 lol.

wow another video? man, you are spoiling us! keep up the good work though, can't wait to see what's next

G Unit was hard!!! These kids today will never know how fifty cent had grown ass men wearing spaghetti strap tank tops (yes them tank tops he made had them skinny ass straps! If u know u know!) and g unit sneakers 😂😂😂 wit the durag and hat combo

G-unit was my favorite group ever man growing up in the 2000’s was the best !

“If you don’t sustain your value in the market place I’ve got to pay you your value at the market rate.” - 50 Cent Deep

I relate 2 Banks. A lotta true artists just wanna be artists. Let the suits push paperwork and let me rap. 50 is more a hustler than a rapper and it's always showed. It's a different mindset, indeed.

50 does have a pretty bad record when it comes to relationships with friends. Literally the only person that 50 cent has had a consistently good relationship with is Eminem probably.

Any body got clips of 50 smacking dudes on the bus? Legendary 😂😂

I was a G Unit stan back in those days. Good times.

Bruh, you should never trust people like 50. He's going to use you until you aren't useful anymore. He doesn't have meaningful relationships.

I think that's why game became a decent star in his own right. He wasn't waiting on 50 or the others, he went out and do his own thing.

50 leave a trail of bad relationships....

You cannot deny that 50 has a psychopathic attitude, but the 1 thing i cant understand is: Yayo, banks, buck and game knew from day 1, who 50 cent is and how he gets down. They made a deal with the devil and then act all suprised, when 50 did the same shit with them, like he did to all the other people/rappers around them. And they sided with 50 everytime, until it was their turn. 50 is who he is, he hasnt changed but the g unit crew are hypocrites.

This type of stuff is inspiring to young brothaz in the hood what I don't like is when camaraderie dwindles behind pettiness smh

The Game damn near single handedly dismantled G_Unit with 300bars in addition to other dis albums (let alone tracks)...That and 50 had g_unit beef'n with everybody so they couldn't collaborate with anyone

It’s weird to remember how seriously people took 50 cent. Like ever since the blood on the sand game I’ve kinda just seen him as a meme, someone who’s for sure talented but someone who represented taking street machismo and pridefulness the point of parody. It’s weird to remember just how dominant 50 cent was for a time. Before Kenya came out with a more vulnerable and at times light hearted image that tough guy image was what a lot of people wanted.

The unit will never be forgotten to many hits

Now it's clear why 50 is the executive producer of Power.

The Game wasn't 50's protogae, he was more of one of dre's protogae than 50's.

KZfaq only just recommended this channel to me. Wtf.

Kinda hard to branch out when you beefing with every other artist. Love 50 but he could’ve handled the Unit a lil better

I rocked my "Free Yayo" shirt in Highschool...shit was hard

Great editing

Yayo and Banks didn't really have star power in the way 50 did.

The music scene is constantly changing, old sounds get recycled into a newer vibe and old gimmicks do too. If you don't change withe times sadly you get left behind. Some people just got that unstoppable drive that many wish they had. The 90's will forever be credited for many good artists and songs.

This channel should have a milli followers. Greay job brother very articulated know your stuff and quality vids. Thank you

Man it is what is. But real talk, we gon always love G-Unit coz of tha impactful memories they left behind in the game. Things don't just happen man!

Buck still the best to me. Straight out of Cashville is timeless imo.

Was just thinking about this question today walking down the street with stunt 101 in my headphones which is so fire

That's like michael jordan saying he wants to erase his 6 rings

I just found your channel from the Vlad TV video you made... my guy your content is top notch! E Z subscribe.

10:52 50 Cent Ft Tony Yayo Like My Style Yayo: "50 you need some help?" 50: "Chill Yayo I got this"

Young bucks drug problems mixed with bad financial decisions led to him falling off and losing all connections with the music industry. He was his own worst enemy

Thank you for the link to skill share!

one thing is true Banks did have alot of potential. Cold Corner tapes.

I still listen to g-unit.. was my favourite group growing up!! And still is.. how can you erase their over 10 year reign in the hiphop industry??

Damn skill share dropping a bag this the 5th video today I seen with a skill share ad😅😂

The audio of 50 in the beginning is jacked

That cant b the real Curtis Jackson doin his day 1's like that those G Unit mixtapes made him b 4 buck b 4 game,That aint HIM

I don't care what anyone says Buck killed his verses on Beg For Mercy and any guest spots and his Albums were better then Banks and Yayo. He should of blew up more then he should of.

50 enabled them . If you notice ppl who use to run with 50 only start talking crazy about him once he stops doing shit for them . I think he saw g-unit with banks , yayo, and buck still being successful in music while he’s doing what he’s doing now and could come back from time to time and make some music.

G unit Vs Dipset Verzuz ... needs to happen 💯🗣

That bet for mercy album is solid 9/10 very underrated

The guys were too laid back. 50 did a lot but the guys were chilled.

Shout out to everyone that had a G unit chain growing up 😂🔗

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this but your video has and audio issue at the very beginning with the 50 video. Not sure if that's for copyright or smtg but wanted to let you know. Love the vids and I hope you enjoy making content for us!

I still listen to a song or 10 from g unit every week or so

Because of their horrible G-Unit tank top i guess..

50 May forget them but most others will not

Justin T., Bobby B., and every other group 1 had the main member go on to their own solo stardum.

50cent used g-unit as a stepping stone to get where he's at today he made alot of money off of g-unit but they had a good run its a shame how they broke up like that i was a big fan of g-unit but i still bang there songs to remind me how good they were together it was a hell of a ride

No wonder The Game has managed to stay alot more relevant than the others. He left that shit cause he knew what wasup. Star power/hustle or not 50 wasn't gonna let his "peoples" get close to his level.

They should've tried to become business partners with 50

That beg for mercy album a certified classic.

Rider pt. 2. That shits dope we was just bumping that shit the other day

50 was lyrically never on the level of Game or Banks! bruh game took them on single handedly. Only Banks impresses me. Banks would have been one of the GOATs. He's awesome. Game always kept releasing a high quality of hiphop though.

I couldn’t hear anything when you played the interviews. I don’ know why

That's crazy. Young Guru's on Skillshare. Good for Guru. That's wild. Btw shout outs to Guru for really making himself a valuable team member of Team Roc as opposed to just a dude that hangs on. That's how you do it. My man got a whole career.

Those original G-Unit mix cds we used to cop at the ave were the stuff of legend!! Off Mustafa!! Every month a new joint would hit. Those were the days smoking spliffs on the way to the Colesium ... to get the latest

This one hurts me the most. Gunit could've been the greatest hip hop group of all time. As it is they gave us classics in such a short period. 17 year old me would have never believed what was to come. Sad.

𝓖 𝓤𝓷𝓲𝓽. Forever

Is the first 35 seconds being played in a different frequency or that’s just no sound ? Lol

Seeing the narrator of these videos explains why he can't pronounce GZA correctly...😂😂😂😂
