I can def see that on the horizion already. So with that said - THANK YOU G-UNIT!!!

Gunit came up off beef with dudes who were on international deals.. I mean what can you say, theyve pumped out shitty music for school girls, private school kids and try hard thugs and they done it fucking well might I add..
Thats what set rap into the big identity crisis.. Now a days a lot of kids have lost the feeling of what rap music is about.. They see g-unit on the tv with flashy chains, money, cars, hoes, guns, diamond encrusted watches and everything else straight out the custom made jewlry shop.. And cause g-unit has marketed their shit so well its reaching people who would of never heard rap.. Think about how warped raps image would be to some people looking from the outside, they dont think NWA, pac n big etc etc, they think 50 cent, lil jon, chingy, puff daddy, w/e other bullshit MTV throws in the mix..
Rap is alternative man, its a culture thing.. I hope to god people who actually have ill skills on the mic, go back to the lime light.. Theres new generations comming up all the time, hip hop gotta pick its act up or shit wont change..
Gunit aint got shit to do with paveing the way for hip hop culture to take back the rap industry.. Thats on future famous rappers that are comming up these days to set in their mind..
And with 50 cent releasing computer games and movies thats gonna grow increasingly hard.. So while G-unit is a big part of the rap industrys modern history, its gonna be real hip hop heads that take it back to the essance..
Its a good time to be starting a rap career lemme tell you.. As long as ya got ya head screwed on..
