Poll Better Movement: 50 Cent/G-Unit (03-05) vs DMX/Ruff Ryders (98-2000)

Better Movement?

  • 50 Cent/G-Unit (03-05)

  • DMX/Ruff Ryders (98-2000)

Results are only viewable after voting.
DMX killed the whole shiny suit era and brought the streets back, but G-unit changed the mixtape game. Ruff Ryders changed the way music sounded, 50 changed the way it was sold.

Both were impactful, but Ruff Ryders was a movement where g-unit was 50 and them
 
So we gonna act like this didn't exist???

I had to think about this for a min, it's damn near a tie.

Both had classic albums: X's first 2, GRODT & The Documentary
Both had arguable classic group albums: Vol 1 & BFM
Solid projects from the other members

I'd give the slight edge to Fif & G-Unit cuz they still have multiple classic mixtapes under their belt.

Both had classic debut albums but 50 never could match the hype of GRODT. 50's numbers slowly started sliding with each album he dropped while X's numbers kept going up. Ruff Ryders imo, had DMX, Eve, & D-Block (The Lox). G-Unit had 50, Banks, Game, & Buck. On a talent level both squads were equal. They both had short runs in their prime.

This pretty much is a slight edge to Ruff Ryders only because they got the street game back sparking after all the soft party & bs songs coming from Bad Boy in '97 which started a new movement & sound. Ruff Ryders had some competition with Roc-a-Fella/Cash Money being that they blew up at the same time. By the time G-Unit came around they had no competition and hip-hop was slowly turning into TRL/Pop music so G-Unit had an easier road to just dominate when they came through.

Yeah G-Unit as a whole probably could have lasted at least a entire decade before the flame actually burnt out. 50 caused the demise of G-Unit starting petty as beefs w/Fat Joe, Shyne, Kanye (not an actual beef), and in-house beefing w/Game & Buck.

I understood the Ja shit but 50 treated his ppl like shit (including Banks) and like his subordinates instead of his boys.
