Is G-Unit Finally Over?
It’s been four days since T.O.S. dropped and it seems like everybody is waiting for next Tuesday when sales reports are in so they can scream, “G-UNIT FLOPPED!” There’s nothing official yet but we have sites claiming it’s set to do about 700,000 first week and sites saying it’s projected to do about 110,000.
If they do indeed only move 110,000 units, it’s safe to say that it’s a flop and G-Unit is no longer the super group that they used to be. But yall gotta remember that their first group album Beg For Mercy only did like 370,000 the first week and eventually went platinum. Group albums really never do that well anyway.
This is all pretty hilarious though. The Game and Buck fans are quick to claim credit for G-Unit’s downfall. The 50 Cent fans are all in denial about the possible 110k sales number.
Is this the end for G-Unit? Probably, if they flop. 50 Cent doesn’t look like he has much pull anymore over at Interscope. They’ve made too many enemies in the industry and they’re definitely feeling the backlash right now. I think we can all agree that G-Unit is just not as strong as they used to be. It’s a shame because they’ve been releasing nothing but good material since the start of 2008.
OTHER NEWS…
Coming out later this year is 50’s last album as an artist on Interscope Records entitled Before I Self Destruct. This will be his fourth solo album.

Here are the pics and a video from the G-Unit Terminate on Sight BBQ held at Flushing Meadows Park in Queens. It was pretty packed and everybody looked like they had a lot of fun in the video. G-Unit’s sophomore album Terminate on Sight is dropping on July 1st, 2008 so be sure to go cop that!
