Banks had it all, he just wasnt into that behind the scenes **** that comes with it
When you have tracks like karma,southside story, im so fly & on fire
That should tell you his versatility as a rapper,
has game ever had a single for the females & please dont say "wouldnt get far"
he's just as or more versatile as Banks. what Banks lacks is personality, nobody wants to listen to a boring dude with a voice that sounds like he needs a throat lozenge.
Banks had it all yet the dude cant even hold a interview if 50 aint sitting right next to him 50 done called the man lazy to his face on live TV and he just sits there looking like Natalie Nunn twin brotherBanks had it all, he just wasnt into that behind the scenes **** that comes with it

Realist post ive read....reppedDudes keep saying "When was he the top rapper" that's real subjective. The Doc was a great album and Doctors Advocate was too and both albums sold real good. So from 05-07 if he wasn't the top dude he was definitely in the mix. Him, Kanye, Wayne, T.I. At that time you coulda picked either one of those dudes. A lot of y'all are just going by which rappers YOU like as usual.
Dre doing six beats doesn't mean anything. U obviously don't know much about what a PRODUCER does. Mixes and masters, not to mention he teaches his artist how to make songs, the little things that Dre has his artists do really shapes and molds them. It shows in all his artists from Em to Stat Quo. Most of em have had other successful artists and became good producers in their own rights.That was the point, it's because Game was the first to get a cosign and be from CA. That's what I'm telling you. If Banks or Buck were from CA, THFM or SOC albums are also doing the same numbers. Dre only did six beats and it was probably less than that. So this isn't a Dre type classic from his old days.
I've never heard anyone say the beef was because 50 was jealous or worried about Game being bigger. Even years ago when message boards were going crazy, this wasn't being said. 50's debut album is double platinum in three weeks, Game was a threat? That **** doesn't even make sense. So I guess 50 won't work with Game now because Game is threat and could be bigger today?
The beef was 50 was the general, the other four were soldiers. Game thought he was better than them and tried to run ****. 50 said nah, I'm the boss. Follow orders or get out. Game said F you, I'm doing me and started dissing G-Unit. It's that simple, there's nothing more nothing less. 50 has said why would I do music with someone I brought on and put out and then bites that hand that fed him. It's literally, that simple. Game can rap but his music hasn't been as good since 50/Dre were helping him create music. LAX was awful and RED was okay. Jesus Piece could have been a soundtrack with all those features.
HE ABSOLUTELY DID NOT HAVE THE FIRST ALBUM OUT IN 10 YEARS!!!! U must mean first big mainstream album and thats not by default.I'm enjoying these conversations with just you two. It's only you two that are completely lost in this world.
1. No one on here will ever say that 50 is or was bigger than Dre or Em. They would be a fool.
2. You guys are acting like Game sold so much because he was so much better. No, it's because it was the first rap album to come out of CA in almost a decade. So the point was, it could have been Banks or Buck with their albums and it would have done the same numbers because CA was so desperate at that time.
3. Jimmy Iovine had said YEARS ago, Game was working with Dre and wasn't getting anywhere. Dre had given up and was ready to drop him. Then Jimmy said lets put him with G-Unit and see what happens. Let's not make it seem like this guy was so good that Dre had to sign him and put out his album because it was the complete opposite of that.
4. Back when G-Unit was at their peak, damn near everyone though Banks was the best rapper. Very few people though Game was the most ruthless or the best like you were saying. Banks was KILLING those mixtapes back then. My goodness
5. If 50 isn't willing to take on Game, we never even hear The Documentary because he gets dropped from Aftermath. So not sure what the hell you guys are getting at with the whole Dre talk.
Doesn't mean anything that u bought his albums, if you didn't know he put all those artists on mixtapes and he was the guy they looked up to since (in ur words) "he was the only guy to have a rap album on the west in 10 years"...
"50 had Game in Connecticut for like a month. He worked on the whole album. 50 got the whole thing started. 50 was writing the hooks. He wrote the hook for ‘Hate It Or Love It.’ He wrote almost all the hooks on the album, seriously. You'll see it on the credits." - Sha Money XL
Westside story was recorded in 2002 and was suppose to be on All about the Benjamins Soundtrack so how was it 50s?
Where exactly did I say West Side Story was 50's. I just said he wrote the hook, which was crucial to the song. But as far as actual evidence that's out there regarding these songs, what I posted from the article is really all we have.
My fault G
