G-Unit Album: “Beg For Mercy [Edited]”
Description :
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. <p>G-Unit: 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Tony Yayo. <p>Producers include: Denaun Porter, DJ Twinz, Dr. Dre, Hi-Tek, Dirty Swift. <p>This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. <p>Queens rapper 50 Cent ascended to the pinnacle of the hip-hop world in 2003, and the latter part of the year saw his crew, G-Unit, drop by with their own ubiquitous single "Stunt 101" and debut record, BEG FOR MERCY. Far from an entourage cashing in on one member's immediate success, the success of both 50 Cent and G-Unit is more of a chicken-and-egg situation. Since 1999, G-Unit's mixtape moments have been among the most sought after on the streets, helping to pump up 50 Cent's status until he exploded onto the mainstream. <p>Unsurprisingly, BEG FOR MERCY delivers a blistering attack of street rap that survives on its own merits. While 50 Cent opens the show on "Poppin' Them Thangs," he quickly blends into the mix, as G-Unit features two other more-than-able lyricists equal to the task and well-versed in trading off with the wildly talented 50. Lloyd Banks brings an arrogant strut that plays off Buck's subtle yet angry drawl. Together and separately, they both play off 50's familiar laid back style. The most intriguing moment on BEG FOR MERCY is the torn "Footprints," which inserts a renowned religious poem into the middle of the gangster world, a fitting summation of the unique world view of G-Unit.

- You better Beg For Mercy if you paid $15 for this BS!

For what possible reason did Amazon disabled 0-star reviews? This CD doesn't even deserve a 1 because it cost $15! There is about 3 good songs in this entire album and that IS NOT worth $15! It's no wonder piracy is so rampant. With albums like this, how could it not be? Even Cary Sherman (president of RIAA) would rather download the few good songs off of this album than buy it.

I am telling you guys that this is an "MTV album". In case you don't know, an MTV album is an album where the only good tracks are the ones they let you see on TV. If you're think the rest of the album has anything resembling good music, you're sadly mistaken. Here's how the album is in the first ten tracks:

1. G-Unit - This first track is stunningly horrible. The beat is crappy and the lyrics is forgettable. Supposedly, Ludacris is featured in this track. Either he played an unimportant role or being around G-Unit manage to screw up his normally memorable singing. Either way, talent is wasted.

2. Popping Them Thangs - The first good song on this album. It's catchy and the beat is good. It also happens to be the first track where Lloyd Banks proves to be a walking punch line. I mean, listen to this lyrics by him. "Slow down, little *****, don't exceed your speed. 'Cause I will put G's on they fitted like the Negro league."

3. My Buddy - Simply put, it is boring. The beat is nowhere near as bad as the first track, but it is no Popping Them Thangs either.

4. I'm So Hood - Same problem as #3, except the beat is more ridiculous and the lyrics are more non-sensical.

5. Stunt 101 - Needless to say, this the second good song. Like I said, this is an MTV album. As one of the few good songs on this album, it has the same attributes as song #2. It has a good beat, the lyrics are catchy, and Lloyd Banks will throw a few lines at you.

6. Wanna Get To Know You - Oh God, it's Country Grammar all over again. From rap to something resembling R&B, so many groups are doing this. The beat here is like something from N-Sync and the lyrics sounds like it came from a 50 Cent when he's intoxicated. I HATE this song!

7. Groupie Love - Not as bad as track #6, but not better than the other bad tracks. The beat is horrible, the lyrics is horrible, and that damn woman that keeps moaning in the background pisses me off.

8. Betta Ask Somebody - What is there to say? It sucks. It has the same problem as the other tracks. This particular track sounds like it has just a bit too much trombone. The instrument is so distracting, that I have a hard time hearing the lyrics over it. Then again, who cares what the lyrics are? All I got from it was something about Mexicans.

9. Footprints - Wow, this is bad. The beat is MUCH worse than even the first track, the lyrics are non-sensical, and I'm still not sure if they even rhyme at all. The worst part about this track is the chorus. 50 Cent keeps talking about sets of footprints and I'm not even sure what the hell is he talking about.

10. Eye For Eye - From the title, you would think it is something about revenge. If it is, I couldn't tell because I was too busy gagging at more bad beats and even worse lyrics. I just wanted to choke Lloyd Banks here.

And the album continues similarly. This has got to be THE worst rap album I've ever heard. After track #10, the only good track is maybe G'd Up.

Really! This album is so horrible that I emailed Amazon complaining about not being able to give a zero! Do yourself a favor, people. Get a GOOD album!

- Teeny Bop S**t !!!!!!!!

What da hell is this??? Another pop group mixed with some R&B crap. F**k She-unit. Dont let the cover pic fool you lil teeny bopperz. I guess 50 cent's mean lookin face attracted many suburban teens and think his crew is gangsta. oooo Im shiverin and scared of his seriously mean lookin face with his serious crew. Lmao!!! 50 hangs around with silly boy clown name Eminem (the goofy boy that never grows up and wont stop cryin). What an embarrassment. (Dont forget the D12 handicap silly group...lmao). Look at 50 cent at television, 50 got security on his nutz and you think he's gangsta??? Pleeze!!! Wow he got shot nine times. He's an idiot for gettin shot nine times. I bet he couldnt even tell from a real gun to a toy gun, dats why his dumbazz got shot so many times. You dont hear Tupac gettin shot multiple times because he knows how to dodge bullets. Go get some 2 pac cds and forget this She-Unit crap. And fo all of yous sayin 50 is the next Tupac, pleeze Shutup!!! U f**kin idiotz.

- What is this crap?

How can you people call this music? All they do is talk about being rich, killing people, and doing drugs. All rap sounds the same. It's a broken record. We get it your rich and supposidely kill people. Does that make you cool or something? This has to be some of the worst music in history.

- simply AWFUL

The shallowness of this cd is something incredibly offending! Songs like "i smell pussy", "poppin' them thangs(?!)" and "groupie love" are songs that are simply stupid. (...)I don't reccomend this cd to anybody, especially not to 14 year-old girls that are having problems finding themselves in this horrid world! Anyway try listening to something more intelligent. UNDERGROUND HIP-HOP 4EVER!

- Genital Unit Stands Proud!

This is Genital Unit's best album yet. Previously, all their stuff centered on the agonies of coming out to their friends and families. Now that they have finally done so and have received happy blessings from everyone in the hood for their courage and sensitivity, these three homeys can relax and stop with the self-loathing. Now they can express their feelings of joy and wonderment in exploring alternative lifestyles and lovestyles in the protective comfort of a gay-friendly environment in the Compton area. The first track is particularly touching: Jam master Slicey Dice reveals his determination to release the dainty woman that has long been trapped within the hulking frame of a macho-posturing thug rapper. To hear such heartbreaking conflict finally come to glorious resolution as Slicey vows to undergo gender-reassignment surgery gives hope and encouragement to all the other homeys in the L.A. rap scene suffering from similar identity conflicts. Be bold, be brave, my beautiful gay black brothers!
