The G-Unit just got smaller. 50 Cent announced Monday night (February 28) that the Game has been excommunicated from the crew because he feels the Compton rapper isn't loyal.
On New York radio station Hot 97, 50 told DJ Funkmaster Flex he was
disappointed with comments Game made on the station Saturday night, when the West Coast MC revealed he would not be getting involved in the beefs 50 is stirring up with "Piggy Bank" (see "50 Cent's LP Pushed Up, Harsh 'Facts' Sound Like Disses On Leaked 'Piggy Bank'").
According to Flex, Game even said he was going to do a song with Nas. "He's gone," 50 scoffed. "He might as well make the record."
50 also said Game should stop saying "G-Unit." "He thinks he's doing me a favor when he says that."
During his conversation with Flex, 50 claimed Interscope was going to drop the Game until 50 stepped in and got involved with The Documentary. 50 also insisted that he's making more money off The Documentary than Game is, and that he wrote more choruses than he's credited for.
Believe it or not, Game was on Hot 97 earlier in the evening, talking to host Angie Martinez. When listeners called in to ask about his and 50's problems, Game simply said he was going to continue to make "good music." Two nights prior, Game had said on-air that he and 50 did not have to be friends as long as they worked toward that same common goal: making good music.
For weeks there'd been rumors of friction within the G-Unit camp, but they'd always downplayed or outright dismissed the talk, and they even held it together long enough to shoot a joint video for The Documentary's "Hate It or Love It," which debuted Monday on "TRL."
A rep for Interscope had no comment on the implosion.
***** At Hot 97 (NY) may be G-Unit/Game related*
Call me crazy, but I think 50 a lil jealous of Game. Buck and Lloyd did ok in sales but they didn't really still 50 shine, but then here comes Game bustin out the scene and stealing a lil of 50 spotlight. That's just what I heard
How come Games cd sound nothin like how Game was spittin on The Black Wallstreet?
What you mean, when he did the "Untold story" project with JT? Black Wall Street is his company, and he's never released anything on there, so I don't get if you are askin why he doesn't sound like he did on that old album. Well his style has changed a lot since thne, for the better too, and bein with Dre and them they definitely brought a better style out of him than how he used to sound when he rapped just like Shyne.
50 is somewhat jealous of Game, even though Game hasn't sold as much as him and even though Game isn't as big as him. It's so much drama that's been goin on with them, I'm somewhat happy that I am away from L.A. and haven't been at his crib much. But I go back Thursday for Spring Break so I'll probably find out more details then.

Game is trying to get on 50's level and he's trying to do it the same way that 50 cent did (wit the beefs and all that and being on 50 and eminems d**k) and 50 aint having that so......he has to put him in his place.......NEW YORK

But didn't Game say that he wasn't trying to be all about the beef and that he was just trying to make money for him and his family?

Yea, He said that but actions speak louder than words...He dissed Joe Budden, Bleek, and Jay-z among others... And He went on to say "I'll crush Chris & Neef".
Basically what 50 Did in '99
Personally, I think 50 lost it, kickin out the hottest new artist is one thing, but goin on four very respected MCs - two of which are established legends - is something else.
Dude definately gotta death wish on him.
Side note: Looks like Irv Gotti was right about 50. He called a last year in a Vibe article. He said sooner or later the streets will turn on him just like he got the streets to turn on Ja Rule. Irv called it....

he's right... Irv said that all the way...
and Riley's right...
'99- 50 came up coming at all the hot artists... especially Ja... and 5 years later, Game did the same thing... i guess 50 got tired of the same path... but just b/c Game has his own mind and doesn't want to get involved in 50s beefs... shouldn't be a valid reason to be kicked out... even though he did say in one lyrics "When I met Banks, I told him I was a ridah..." and that really did contradict what he said in his lyrics... and rappers are sposed to tell the truth... which brings up another thing... Jada was right... why do rappers lie in 90% of their rhymes...
:?:
who knows... i'm just rambling... but even as a 50 fan since 99/2000... this is just too much... he already came up w/ beefs, he doesn't need to continue on... just make music and money and leave beefin alone... especially if it's not needed :x
