"G-Unot Skit" lyrics - THE GAME

Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson never would have gone diamond if not for Eminem's massive fanbase buying into his exaggerated image
His rhyme schemes are super basic, his flow is choppy and unfullfilled, his vocal projection lacks serious passion and conviction, and his personality is regressive as fuck
He exudes such an obvious insecurity about himself in his incessant need to control everyone around him. He is his biggest obstacle. As his overtly aggressive and false sense of entitlement soiled his relationship with Dre, Jimmy Iovine, members of the Shady/Aftermath/Interscope family, and the industry at large. He is constantly reported as being an unpleasant person to do business with but always gets away with it because the industry doesn't want to sabatoge any chance of ever getting to do business with Eminem: the most lucrative talent in the game
Speaking of Eminem, he signed Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson not because he saw an exeptional talent lol, but because the palpably 'believeable' gangstery with which he honed his brand - was the 'toughest' feel coming from rap since the brazen of the 'I Just Don't Give a Fuck' rapper himself
The Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson brand image, in its percieved authenticity, while far from carrying the attributes of what launches a mainstream success with genuine staying power, held 3 elements that made it the only visible force that could penetrate and conquer the 'authenticity' of the white emcee's controversy-fueled 'goatery'. It was a black, tough people's champ of sorts and it was looking for a victim to launch itself into a publicity-fueled notoriety that can be further capitalized into relative fortuane
While 'Fif' had his eyes on Jah Rule and Murder, Inc as the sacrificial lamb of this scheme, Eminem knew no better, but was quick to recognize the competition, and chose to sign it as opposed to losing his empire to it
If not Jah Rule, it would have been Eminem. Eminem would have had to contend with the spirit of black pride that rap was born of. He felt the culture's respect but also that they were ready for the crown to be returned to the people of its origin. At his peak, exhausted of the all-soul-consuming stress of super stardom, Eminem didn't have the knowledge, spirit, energy, direction, mentorship etc and intellectual wit to know how he would approach an equally, but different, fortuitiously aggressive personality with the backing of the people who are growing bored of his schtick/dominance. So rather than contend he became an ally, embracing a relationship with a socially insecure, dominant control freak that's condescending presence alone caused one Marshall Mathers to abandon his shock rap sarcasm, in favor of appeasing the constant g-checking energy of 50 Cent, by beefin and G-Rappin adopted foes that were formally 'friends'
It is to say, Eminem had to stress and beef for the sake of brand loyalty which through him into even more disarray. A disarray that led to his semi-retired hiatus. Which transferred even more of his massive fanbase's attention to the interim of 50 Cent's relatively unskilled emceemanship
50 Cent, the one time superstar who once had a $500 million networth, who now only has $30 million lol, was a super star, diamond selling 'one hit wonder' not because of talent and an organic evolution of market demand, but because of Shady/Aftermath's slick marketing to Eminem's international fanbase
If Game was instead signed by Eminem and marketed with the same machine to the reach of Eminem's audience - he too would have gone diamond
