50 cent game envy me

When it comes to hip-hop, every rapper in the game at some point has made the claim of being greatest of all time. However, only a few embody the skills, have achieved the accolades and also showcased the longevity to truly take on the crown. One person that believes they fit the criteria is 50 Cent, and with over two decades in the game and millions of records sold the New York rap vet may be right — right?

Earlier today the chart-topping hip-hop mogul sent out a tweet that seemed to simultaneously announce both his dominance in the game and retirement from it. In contrast, it has been over seven years since 50 Cent dropped a solid studio album, and his bankruptcy changed the way many people saw his big baller status as a rapper. All Rights Reserved.

I know a G. Since The Game was publicly dismissed from G Unit by 50 Cent in over diss records have been released in what's fast becoming one of the longest feuds hip hop has seen. This is the history of their beef. Game was placed in G Unit by Dr Dre as a way to boost his presence ahead of the release of his debut album 'The Documentary', which had three singles featuring 50 Cent on it.

The release date of 50 Cent's second album 'The Massacre' was pushed back in order to accommodate The Game's debut album.

Word is that 50 refused to sit in the front seat of a car next to Game, instead taking a back seat. After hearing 50's comments The Game returned to the radio station where he was also a guest earlier that day and attempted to enter the building. In the scuffle, one of the men accompanying Game was shot in the leg by a security guard.

The peace treaty didn't last. It wasn't long until G-Unit criticised The Game's street cred and sent him packing once more, announcing he will not be featured on any of their albums.

In September Game must have been feeling bad about his attacks on 50 Cent, as when he paid Angie Martinez a visit he said on air that he wanted to "talk and just to see where our heads are and see if maybe we can come to an even playing field — respectfully to each other", appealing to 50 to work together to "figure it out as grown ups".

It was all quiet on 50's end. Picture: Instagram. But I was young, man. I was dumb. I did a lot of dumb things… 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. A few days later, in January , Tony Yayo spoke on behalf of G-Unit when he said that they would not be accepting any apology from The Game. Game tweeted 50 in November saying he was willing to end the feud, asking 50 to just pick up the phone and call. We hope Game isn't still sitting by the phone… Cause 50's yet to act on the request.
