    I like it, it’s an okay project. The others are just much better IMO...

    grodt 10/10
    BFM 9/10
    Doc 8/10
    SOC 8/10
    HFM 8/10
    TOAPF 6.5/10

    Buck The World and T.O.S are good too

    Off topic but what I’d like to see next (it will never happen) is a documentary or series based on the g unit story. Have you watched the WU’s series? s----s fire, something like that would be great for g unit.

    This was hard, besides the placement of Yayo's album. All of these albums were day one purchases for me and were the soundtrack to my junior and senior years of high school.

    I don't get how some of you can put TOAPF above any other album G-Unit put out. It helped to have some catchy hooks and features but Yayo is garbage

    Also, Young Buck will forever go down as one of the greatest what-ifs in hip hop. I honestly believe he could've reached T.I./Jeezy levels under better conditions.

    d---, these were my formative years lol.

    Obviously GRODT and Documentary at the top of the list and Predicate Felon at the bottom, the other three were all interchangeably great though. I'd throw the Massacre, GRODT soundtrack plus the Mobb Deep album (even though it wasn't great) in the mix too, though they'd all be in second-level quality tier

    Am I the only one who thinks The Massacre is as good as GRODT?

    I think GRODT has better lead singles(Candy Shop and Disco Inferno <<<<<) but the album cuts on The Massacre like Baltimore Love Thing, Get In My Car, This Is 50, Ski Mask Way, Position of Power have aged better than some of the cuts from GRODT. But that's just me.

    Anyways, for me, it's:
    1. GRODT/Massacre tied
    2. The Documentary
    3. The Hunger For More
    4. Straight Outta Cashville
    5. Beg For Mercy
    6. Thoughts Of A Predicate Felon

    To me GRODT and The Documentary are 10/10. BFM is 9/10. The rest are 7-8/10 depending on my mood

    I haven't seen it yet. Yeah, it would definitely be dope, but only if they try to be objective and show both sides of the beefs (Ja Rule, Game, Jada, etc.).

    I think everyone was sick and tired of G Unit by the time he eventually dropped so he got a bit of a raw deal. That being said even though the production and features helped he was never a good rapper.

    d--- I didn't know Thoughts was so disliked compared to the rest of the debut albums. I've always liked Yayo's agressive delivery a lot, the production is great, and the features are lit too.

    G Unit had such a great opening run. Shame that pretty much all of them dropped so dramatically for their second albums.

    If I could be bothered, I'd rank the whole lot. But don't have time. A do know though that Terminate ok Site would be last.

    I honestly really liked that mobb deep album. 50 made some good tracks with them. The reason for me why people look down on that project is because of the more mainstream route they took on it. That s--- had some bangers tho for real.

    The Massacre is a great album, but GRODT is a timeless classic in my opinion. The Massacre is a bit too poppy at some points (Candy Shop, So Amazing, Build You Up, etc.), while on GRODT literally every single song is a street b-----r. The best songs on The Massacre (Position of Power, I'm Supposed to Die Tonight, Ski Mask Way, etc.) are GRODT-quality, but the album as a whole is less consistent.
