G-Unit–The Game feud

The G-Unit–Game feud is a Hip hop rivalry that began in early 2005.

Origins

Game signed onto Aftermath Entertainment, it was later arranged that he would work with 50 Cent and his hip hop group G-Unit. The sudden feud between the pair, who had been marketed as having a mentor/protégé relationship, started soon afterwards. The two were able to put their differences aside for the release of The Game's debut album, The Documentary which was released on January 18, 2005. The album was a success for The Game and had three singles that featured 50 Cent. The release date of 50 Cent's second album, The Massacre, was pushed back in order to accommodate The Game's album, causing a rift between 50 Cent and Interscope Records. Tensions would rise during the filming of the music video for The Game's third single, "Hate It or Love It", when 50 Cent refused to shoot a scene in the front seat of a car with The Game, instead sitting in the back (The Game's brother, Big Fase 100, would replace him).

50 Cent later dismissed The Game from G-Unit on Hot 97 radio. After the announcement, The Game, who was a guest earlier in the evening, attempted to enter the building with his entourage. After being denied entry, one of his associates was shot by a security guard in the leg during a confrontation with security. When the situation escalated, both rappers held a press conference to announce their reconciliation. Fans had mixed feelings as to whether the rappers created a publicity stunt to boost the sales of the albums they had just released. Nevertheless, even after the situation deflated, G-Unit criticized The Game's street cred. The group denounced The Game and announced that he will not be featured on their albums. 50 told the media The Game keeps an AK47 under his couch. During a Summer Jam performance, The Game launched a boycott of G-Unit called "G-Unot" (which ended after 50 Cent trademarked the term).

After the performance at Summer Jam, The Game responded with "300 Bars and Runnin'", an extended "diss" aimed at G-Unit as well as members of Roc-A-Fella Records on the mixtape You Know What It Is Vol. 3. 50 Cent responded through his "Piggy Bank" music video, which features The Game as a Mr. Potato Head doll and also parodies other rivals. Since then both groups continued to attack each other. The Game released two more mixtapes, Ghost Unit and a mixtape/DVD called Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin.

G-Unit posted a cover of The Game's head on the body of a male stripper for "Hate It or Love It (G-Unit Radio Part 21)" mixtape, as a response to The Game displaying pictures of G-Unit dressed as Village People. Although he was signed to Aftermath Entertainment, The Game left the label and signed with Geffen Records to terminate his contractual obligations with G-Unit (although others claim 50 Cent pressured Dr. Dre to kick him off). G-Unit member Spider Loc had also begun to insult The Game on various songs. With tracks such as "Stop Bitchin'," featuring Mr. Criminal from Hi-Power Entertainment, "[...] Boy" and more. In addition, The Game released "240 Bars (Spider Joke)" and "100 Bars (The Funeral)" both attacking G-Unit, Spider Loc and others. 50 Cent's response was "Not Rich, Still Lyin'" where he mocks The Game. Lloyd Banks replied to the Game on a Rap City freestyle booth session. The Game quickly released a "diss" record called "SoundScan" where The Game pokes fun at Lloyd Banks' album Rotten Apple falling thirteen spots on the Billboard 200 chart and disappointing second week sales. Lloyd Banks replied on his mixtape Mo' Money In The Bank Pt. 5: Gang Green Season Continues with a song called "Showtime (The Game's Over)". Lloyd Banks states that 50 Cent wrote half of The Game's first album The Documentary and pokes fun at The Game's [...] thoughts.

In October 2006, The Game extended a peace treaty to 50 Cent, which was not immediately replied to. However, a couple days later, on Power 106, he stated that the treaty was only offered for one day. On The Game's album, Doctor's Advocate, he claims that the feud is over on a few of the songs.

Failed reconciliation

At one point, it was reported that Busta Rhymes wanted to get 50 Cent and The Game together on the same track which was to be included on his album, Before Hell Freezes Over. This way, he intended to end the feud between the two. Busta Rhymes commented on the feud. He said:

However, the reconciliation did not happen any time soon because of Tony Yayo's alleged attack on James "Lil' Henchmen" Rosemond, who is the son of Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond. Tony Yayo was arrested on March 24, 2007 and was accused of smacking Lil' Henchmen for wearing the shirt of his father's record label, Czar Entertainment. Czar Entertainment manages many artists, including The Game. Tony Yayo, 50 Cent, and their entourage allegedly approached Lil' Henchmen in a black SUV. 4 men jumped out of the car. Tony Yayo then showed the 14-year-old boy that he had a gun, and he then proceeded to antagonize and slap the child. Tony Yayo has been charged for assault and he was later released with a $5,000 bail. He has pleaded not guilty. 50 Cent has strongly denied his involvement and has stated that he was in his home in Connecticut when the alleged incident occurred. He also stated that Tony Yayo did not hit Lil' Henchmen. 50 Cent thinks that the people who are trying to ban him are the same people who started the "G-Unot" campaign. He thinks they are trying to go after him by using the Lil' Henchmen incident as an excuse to ban him.

Feud continues

In February 2007, The Game and Young Buck got into a non-physical altercation at a club, during the NBA All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas. In an interview with SOHH.com Young Buck describes the situation:

Although it was believed that Young Buck and The Game made peace and put the incident behind them, Young Buck recently confirmed in an interview with SOHH.com that the 'beef' is still on. Young Buck said Recently The Game had an interview with MTV and addressed an apology to 50 Cent and G-Unit and said "Jimmy always says, 'Man, I told you guys not to break up the Beatles,' " Game said. "He says he told John Lennon the same thing a long time ago. But I was young, man. I was dumb. I did a lot of dumb things. I felt me and 50 clashed. I'm not gonna dis 50...He had his side, I had my side. I did what I felt was necessary for me and my career to have longevity and survive in hip-hop and music to be around when I'm Quincy Jones' age;— not just be Quincy Jones' age, but be a Quincy Jones. Now, four albums in, I can honestly say from Banks to Buck to Dre to Yayo to whoever, if it would have kept going, endless paper. Millions of albums sold;— because we were great together."

There was also a physical altercation between 50 Cent's protégé and then new G Unit member 40 Glocc and Game's protégé and friend BWS Member rapper Compton Menace also known as The Menace. It was stated that Compton Menace initiated the fight. G Unit Member's 40 Glocc and Spider loc also had a non physical brawl with rapper Lil Wayne and his mentor rapper Birdman when they were in Compton for a video shoot 40 Glocc and Spider loc being member of the street gang called Crips and Lil Wayne who claimed to be a member of the rival gang of the crips called Bloods along with Game claiming the same as Wayne in the non physical brawl Wayne and Birdman supposedly ran into their car fearing the G Unit members Spider Loc and 40 Glocc and other crip members along with them, although this appears to be fake due to the past Wayne and Birdman share. This is even harder to believe due to the fact that Wayne and Birdman both were born and raised in New Orleans, the [...] capital. All this shows violence and gangs were also embroiled in the feud just as in the East coast vs West coast battle(a battle in the mid 90's involving rappers from both the East Coast and the West Coast mainly involving rappers Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur.)

However, several days later Tony Yayo stated in an interview that G-Unit won't accept The Game's apology saying several times that The Game is bipolar. Tony Yayo continued on saying one day The Game is sorry and the next day its f-k G-Unit. Tony Yayo did state though that The Game was right on them together consisting of 50 Cent, Young Buck, Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks, and The Game, were as good as The Beatles. A week later though, The Game was at his concert in Sydney, Australia and dissed G-Unit again, telling the crowd to shoot at G-Unit if they come to Sydney. This was about a week after The Game apologized to 50 Cent, Jimmy Iovine, and G-Unit.

Game hooks up with Young Buck

After being dismissed from G-Unit, Young Buck appeared on a remix to The Game's song Game's Pain, as well as appearing in the music video to the song My Life, which featured another former rival, Lil Wayne. A mixtape by The Game and Young Buck was also confirmed, The Commission, The Game & Young Buck - Laugh Now, Cry Later. When Young Buck left the Unit he had made multiple tracks with The Game dissing G-unit.Rapper Juvenile was embroiled in the feud as he sided with G Unit dissing Young Buck(after buck was booted from G unit)

On November 9, 2009, 50 Cent released his newest album, Before I Self Destruct. Included on it is a track called "So Disrespectful," aimed at continuing his beef with The Game. He insults The Game with lyrics such as:

Come on Game you will never be my equal- your homie shoot dogs- my n*ggaz shoot people, I'm what you're never gonna be- I'm in that tax bracket you never 'gon see (...)

referring to his estimated $400 million plus gross worth.

On the first single from his 2010 LP, R.E.D. Album,"Shake" The Game disses G-Unit yet again by firing more taunts at members of G-Unit with the lyrics:

"Me and fifty aint agree on [...] so I had to (Shake) aint no telling what he putting in that protein (Shake) seen the candy shop video look at this [...] (Shake) and thats the same [...] that made the [...] Young Buck (Shake) I’m surprised that Lloyd Banks and Yayo didn’t (Shake) wasn't selling no records so Jimmy told 'em to (Shake)

Including radio freestyles and songs that appeared on both albums and mixtapes, there were over 100 diss tracks involved in this feud.

Later days of beef

In November 2010, Game tweeted an appeal to 50 Cent saying he was willing to end the feud and all 50 had to do was pick up the phone and call. However, the appeals were ignored by Jackson despite encouragement from fans.

In December 2010, Game mocked Lloyd Banks album sales on Twitter, which had fans question whether he really wanted a G-Unit reunion or not.

In September 2011, 50 Cent released a track that dissed Game and Lil Wayne. Game responded on Twitter that he would "kill" 50 when he had studio time.

On July 8, 2012, The Game and G-Unit rapper 40 Glocc got into an altercation at a Hollywood hills pool party. In a video clip, allegedly, shot by The Game via Game's iPhone during the fight, 40 Glocc is seen running into a bush after being beaten up by the fellow West Coast rapper.[13] 40 Glocc also begun a lawsuit against Game due to assault and battery and defamation of his character.[14] Game said the lawsuit was the biggest shock of his life also calling 40 a coward.

On November 27, 2012 50 Cent released the second single for his upcoming album, Street King Immortal. The song features fellow rapper Eminem and singer Adam Levine. In the song 50 Cent raps "I tried to help niggas get on, they turned around and spit/ right in my face, so Game & Buck can both suck a [...]..." Game later responded to this saying nobody cared about 50 Cent and he might record a sequel to "300 Bars and Runnin" in order to finally "kill" 50 Cent and G-Unit. 50 later said that the song was recorded two years prior and he currently had no ill wills toward Game. Nevertheless, Game responded with a bonus track off his Jesus Piece album called "Blood of Christ," which attacks G-Unit, 40 Glocc, Shyne and Diddy.
