As the news spreads of 50 Cent’s apparent steep sales drop for Before I Self Destruct, former protégé turned rival Game has emerged to take the credit.



In a recent interview with Complex.com to promote his forthcoming R.E.D. Album, the Game pointed to his on wax G Unit feud from 2005-2007 as what began his rivals’ “downfall.”



“It’s just Hip-Hop and I think that he’s more bitter towards me then anyone else he’s had drama with because look what I did to his brand. I killed G Unit,” Game told Complex.com. “I killed the clothes, I killed the brand, I killed Tony Yayo, Banks, and Buck at that time. Like I really f**ked up a lot of money for that dude. Not only for him but my label, Jimmy Iovine, who at this point, I’m apologetic to.”



The feud was all but finished record-wise until 50 Cent recently aimed a few bars at Game on “So Disrespectful.”



Along with the lyrical taunts (“Game you’ll never be my equal…I’m in a tax bracket you’re never gone see/When you cross me”), the Queens mogul has rebuffed any attempt to reconcile, despite mentor Dr. Dre and Game making amends.



Regarding 50’s stance, the Compton emcee feels the rivalry has run its course and does not make any sense business-wise.



“Me and his beef is old at this point. It’s pure comedy for me at this point. When he says something, I laugh. If I shoot a shot back it’s just a joke at this point,” The Game explained. “Nobody is going to kill each other. Nobody is gonna beat each other’s ass. I’m not gonna do none of that. So we might as well get along. We exist in Hip-Hop…We’re not f**king WWE wrestlers, we’re not boxers man, it’s just Hip-Hop. It’s just make music or don’t make music. It’s not a gang war, like he’s not a Crip and I’m a Blood, and this ain’t f**king ‘85, and I’m not gonna ride through his hood and do a drive by, like it’s not that serious.”



Instead of challenging Jay-Z the midst of his Before I Self Destruct promotion, The Game advised 50 could switch up his tactics and garner more attention with a reunion project.



“If we said tomorrow Game and 50 are coming out with an album, you know how many motherf**king antennas would go up? We could still sell a million records just off promoting it alone,” he offered. “I mean, I understand the business aspect of it. I understand that you know, he’s got a big ego. I’m just not one with it, I don’t have one. I forgive and forget and that’s life. One day you’re alive and the next day you die. So why spend it bitter and mad at the f**kin’ world, man? I don’t understand it.”



With “Baby By Me” as the current single, 50 Cent’s Before I Self Destruct is projected to sell 160,000 copies and land in Billboard’s Top 5.



At press time, Game’s The R.E.D. Album is slated for a February 2010 release on Interscope. For the full interview visit .

I will be honest. G-Unit ain´t what it used to be and I feel that downfall. But Game didn´t kill nobody. G-Unit was heavy in 2005, 2006, 2007... When Buck got kicked out from G-Unit than it starts really go off. Banks is still doing good shit and he is waiting for Fif to get a new deal. His mixtapes are crazy. Banks will come with good album for sure.

Game is selfish bipolar bitch. One day he stay with Fif cuz of Dre or some tears over his face, another day he talks about years how he was killing it another day it´s once again G-Unot. He said lot of things about Fifty but more things he said about him was like he was talking about himself. Black Wall Street is find nowhere. I don´t even know if there is still some Game´s label. BWS Clothing never doing good. He never achieved what Fifty did and he never be so high as Jay-Z or 50 Cent.

game and his stans are delusional. ok since 2005 g unit and 50 cent have suffered huge drops in sales. what about eminem? he went from 10 mill an album to 2 mill, did game kill him? even britney spears aint selling i suppose game killed her?

the whole music industry has suffered, 90% of artists are suffering a huge drop in sales not just 50 cent. a little thing called a global recession came along and it hit 50 cent way harder than 100 game mixtape songs that the casual fan didnt hear.

Faruq

i hate game i could he possibly compare himself to those who made him has he forgotten about 'HOW WE DO' someone should please talk sense into that guy.

genedahustla

Thats the shit I hate about stans....... ya'll motherfuckers and yo leader 5-0 were always laughing and making fun of other artists album sales from Fat Joe to Triple C's. Now 5-0 is self-destructing, now all of a sudden u blame it on global recession?????????? How many copies did the GOAT Jay sell 1st week,and that was how many weeks ago?

I mean what the fuck?????ya'll serious man? GTFOH with that bullshit.....50 cent contributed to animosity that exists in Hip-Hop 2day and he is finally paying the price for.

What goes around comes around my niggas....and KARMA is a BITCH.

Memo

Game didn't kill nothin.Everybody got hard times.This is hard time for 50.He was unlucky cause album leaked 1 month ago.And also, people(who ain't listen rap too much) usually buy 50's album because of club hits.BISD ain't includin a club hit like "Just a lil bit", "Candy Shop", "In da Club" or "AYO Technology".I think these are the reasons he couldn't sell this album too much.

Trizzle

wrong gayme!!!! really wrong aspect on the situation bipolar fuk tard!

you just want to be able to do records with others and not just your wack clique!

sounds like somebody is mad
blue print 3 was a much more 'commercial' album with rnb features and club songs. when 50 cent releases an album filled with these songs such as the massacre or curtis people like you hate on him for going soft. so what does 50cent do, he takes a risk and releases a much more aggressive album which was always going to sell less but be more appreciated by his fans. result = PEOPLE LIKE YOU HATE REGARDLESS.

B.A.N.K.S

You on point my dude ... he the reason niggas was divided.. but then when HIS ALBUM is coming he all of a sudden wanna bring everybody together in NY

Nigga said BP3 was more commercial... Jay only got 1 song thats hit radio and it only appeals to one state .. ask a nigga my way in CALI if they bumpin "new york state of mind" .. fail ... The nigga 50 got 2 girlie singles Baby By Me and it features NEYO and whats he releasing next ohhh... Do You Think About Me if that aint commercial then i dont know what is ?

So then where are the REAL 50 Cent fans ? They let they man down.. 150k for somebody like a "50 Cent" is a flop ... NO MATTER HOW YOU PUT IT .. The excuses just stop it niggas u embarrassing yourselves.

Side note: Game killed them niggas back in the day on 300 bars he the reason yayo flopped and olivia was shelved .. true story (if you deny that then you REALLY delusional)

50 is on forbes top list EVERY year. gunit clothing STILL makes more in one year then game has made his entire career. game thinks he killed gunit? that shit is beyond laughable. he might as well start saying his real name is marvin and hes actually from mars. cuz that would be more believable

take you L game. you must have quite the collection of them by now

Da MD Kid

how did he kill the brand? that would mean ppl would actually of heard of his own brand and support it... but thats obviously not the case seeing as to how no one has ever heard of Blackwallstreet

he didn't killed g-unit bo he had his effort in it, no doubt.

B.A.N.K.S

why u always say somethin about "g-unit clothes" ? they stop making that shit like what a few yrs ago .. so he ain't making THAT MUCH money off it if production stopped, that means its just a bunch of old material out there circulating .. hell them niggas dont even wear it.. so i did too my g-unit shit has been collecting DUST... if anybody interested in some clothes i'll sell.. i got stuff that they've worn in pics, tours, etc .. some real nice shit.. it just sits in the closet

And here it goes again, is anybody surprised about that

Tha Unit On Top

Is he serious?

If he thinks he did anything he is on crack.

SO if Game was still on G Unit, Banks would have sold more? Really?

He didnt do shit to anyone, why did sales drop? I dont know, why did Game go from like 600k to 356k to 240k? Banks and Yayo did that then, right?

It couldnt be sales for EVERYONE dropped, more downloading and Banks and Yayo and Buck werent interesting enough artists, didnt make super pop hit records, so back in 04 and shit, sales were great, economy was fine, people would buy records, Mike Jones, Paul Wall in the years to follow sold, so everyone was selling, BFM, HFM, SOC were dope albums and Fifty was the biggest rapper in the world, thats why they sold, but to think Game dissed them so thats why people didnt buy there records anymore, like if Game didnt diss them and was featured on Rotten Apple it would have sold more?

Come on. Yeah he dissed them and did all that, it was his way of getting attention, and no matter what anyone says, thats the only time he did get attention, talking about Fifty/Ross, saying Fuck Fifty on stage, talking about Fifty, his beefs, etc, now talking again, instead of worrying about himself and his crew, or well, what crew.

And him talking about a reunion, cause thats the only way people would pay attention to Game again.

But sorry game, even if they did an album together, it aint selling a million first week. Fifty/Em, maybe.

Tha Unit On Top

One of the dumbest things ever uttered on this board, thats real fucking talk.

So Game dissed them, thats the reason Yayo flopped as you say? 220k first week and what, 800k to a mill worldwide, not exactly a flop.

On house arrest, dropping the same week as Kanye, who sold 860k first week, think that might have a bit more to do with his lower sales then the rest of G unit had, plus him being the worst artist in the crew, think that has alittle more than Game dissing them.

Frankly, Game hurt himself dissing them, after a while people were clowning on him being a jolted lover bitch, plus with the stripper, tongue ring, change of heart, nobody takes Game seriously, expect kids from Europe and Australia and shit.

Of course he was gonna take a big hit with an album leaking a month early, then pushed up, stores aint even selling it, called BB and chick said it dont drop till next week, so with that said, he was gonna take a big sales hit, but even still, under 200k for him is a flop.

BuckEm

lol hes trying to take credit for 50's low sales, lmao, imma be askin "who killed game???" when his album does 90k first week.
