Here are 5 reasons why I [Gyant] think that G-Unit’s recording career is pretty much over.This feature is staring to become a weekly thing. Here we have yet another hip-hop album that I’m afraid is going to be a commercial disappointment in the eyes of the music industry. Curtis Jackson, a.k.a 50 Cent and them other boyz have dropped their new album T.O.S. Terminate On Sight. But there is just one thing missing [and no it’s not Young Buck] interest!
1. OVER SATURATION: I know that I don’t have to tell you that 50 Cent is EVERYWHERE! Albums, Vitamin Water commercials, movies and everything else puts the bad boy of hip-hop in a very vulnerable position. I mean let’s be real; this is basically another 50 Cent album with features. Nobody is interested in the old man and the rumored former gay porn star. And, with Curtis resulting to his usual high-octane – lets bully around another rapper – antics people have grown tired of the marketing scheme[s]
2. YOUNG BUCK: While nobody can deny that Fiddy isn’t the leader of G-Unit crew Young Buck brought a lot of fans in his own right, to the previous projects. The South has a lot of love for Buck and now that he is gone from the group subsequently are some of the fans. Lloyd and Tony don’t have a strong enough fan base[s] to generate enough interest.
3. LIL’ WAYNE: Call me crazy, but I really didn’t see a point in anyone in hip-hop releasing an album after the news hit about Lil Wayne’s CD sales. The New Orleans representative made history with his highly anticipated album, so you just knew that the buzz as going to certify that his album would dominate the charts for at least two to three weeks after its original release date. G-Unit should’ve just sucked up their pride and pushed the album back two more weeks to let people absorb and them move on from Shawn Carter.
4. THE TAPING OF THE YOUNG BUCK CONVERSATION: The way Fiddy released that tape of Young Buck crying over the phone, in my opinion, was one of the most disloyal and presumably messiest things you could do to a person. It isn’t the nature of their conversation that was particularly interesting to me. It was the sneaky back handed way Curtis went about doing it. While nobody can argue that 50 Cent isn’t an entertaining dude to record your boyz conversation with a “just in case” mindset shows your disloyal and not to be trusted. And isn’t hip-hop all about the stories of the streets? if that’s the case aren’t loyalty and trust valued over most other things? I am in no way saying that Young Buck wasn’t at fault because he was. But anyone who records conversations as an insurance policy needs to own up to the fact that they are messy and aren’t to be trusted. If anyone in 50’s camp would talk to him on the phone regarding a private matter is crazy and deserves whatever they get. He’s shown that he is not to be trusted.
5. Do I really need to add a 5th reason?
Either way it’s not looking too good. The News department is already reporting that Wayne is set to be number one again.
