G-Unot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
G-Unot is a movement started by The Game. G-Unot is a boycott against 50 Cent and his members of G-Unit (Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck, and Olivia). G-Unot formed after the release of The Game's You Know What It Is Vol. 3 mixtape. The Game created this movement as a protest of inflammatory statements made after the rapper was discharged from G-Unit. The phrase G-Unot is a pun on the group G-Unit. G-Unot is now a popular pejorative term to refer to the group G-Unit.
The Game's major debut album was surrounded by controversy. Following its release, 50 Cent felt that the rapper was disloyal for stating that he wanted to work with artists that G-Unit were feuding with. 50 Cent and G-Unit attempted to dismiss the street credibility of The Game hip-hop radio station Power 105.1; unaware that The Game was simultaneously on Hot 97. Later that night, 50 Cent went on Hot 97 to denounce the Game once again.
The feud escalated as Game and members of his Black Wall Street crew stood out front of the Hot 97 building. There, a member of The Game's entourage was shot after a heated argument with a body guard. Soon after, a drive by ensued with an AK 47 at Violator Records office, then unoccupied, resulted in the office sustaining numerous bullet markings. Cameras outside the office identified an individual with possible Blood affiliation. Though the crews publicly squashed the beef and jointly donated money to charity, within a few weeks, 50 Cent and the rest of G-Unit continued to make incendiary comments about The Game. The Game attacked 50 Cent's reputation at Hot 97's 2005 Summer Jam, and on his How The West Was One tour. The Game then released "300 Bars and Runnin'" addressing several of his enemies on his mixtape called You Know What It Is Vol. 3. The Game also started wearing clothing with the slogan: G-Unot.
The Game threatened to sabotage the sales of Tony Yayo's album by asking his fans to purchase The Documentary and then mail the copy to The Black Wall Street Records offices, whereas he'll personally autograph each copy and include his next mixtape titled Ghost Unit.
The Game also released a mixtape and DVD titled Stop Snitchin Stop Lyin, and is said to be the last of the "beef" between him and G-Unit. The DVD contains controversial images and footage about what occurred before and after being dropped from G-Unit including the beginnings of the G-Unot movement.
