What Happened to M.O.P on G Unit?

In 2005 was at the height of his career it seemed like nothing would be able to topple his empire. On March 3, 2005 50 cent dropped his second studio album called the Massacre. The album came in at 1.15 million copies sold in it’s first week, it debuted at number one on the billboard 200 those numbers were significantly better than his debut album’s sales, which came in at 872 000 copies sold in it’s first week.
At this point in his career everything he touched turned to Gold/Platinum. 50 put his entire team on, he was able to amass a lot off success due to his businesses and even though he started beefing the game he was able to push forward and drop more hits.
Now 50’s beef with the game did take a toll on him. After beefing with game, 50 felt like maybe he should keep all his hits to himself because if you think about it he was responsible for a lot of the games first huge hits, 50 Cent's second album 'The Massacre' was pushed back in order to accommodate The Game's debut album so he felt betrayed by the game however he decided to put old grievances aside in the name of making good music and work with a duo from Brownsville New York called M.O.P.
(play clip)
The members of the group include lil fame and billy danze. M.o.p is known for bringing that hard hitting gangster sound to hip hip, Their most popular songs are ante up and cold as ice off of their warriorz album released in 2000 and this is the album they put the spotlight on them on a bigger scale.
There’s was a time when m.o.p’s place in g unit looked solidified. With the influence of 50 they were Mere moments away from raising hell in the rap world however in an unfortunate turn of events their time on g unit came to an abrupt end And this left their fans wondering what Happened to M.O.P during their G unit run.

You now what the real issue was with M.O.P, Olivia, Mobb Deep, Spider Loc, Mase And Hot Rod even with Buck, Banks And Yayo 50 was giving Them big checks without them having a hit record when you give money to people without they deserving it or they not working hard for it whats going to happend they are going to be lazy and they don't gonna put the effort to work hard because they know 50 is going to give them a big check anyways with or without Selling hit records Yayo for example after his album he didn't sell much i always hear that yayo is a wack rapper but yayo had expensive jewelry, cars and condows he had more money then a platnium artist at the time, Olivia had no single but 50 payed for her make up artists she was spending so much money on clothes like she tought she was Ciara Or Beyonce, Spider loc and Hot Rod had no hit record at all but 50 made them custome jewelry M.O.P and Mobb Deep before the deal wasn't Flashy at all they were grimey and hood but with the g unit deal they had matched g unit clothes and jewelry look at the xxl magazine you see what i mean, Banks And Buck spending so much money on custome cars and jewelry and alot of drugs and that was the problem they was thinking about status and not good records not because 50 was signed at interscope or had dre and eminem in his team you guys needed to proove yourselfs even harder before g unit blew up they was hungry even yayo was dope listen to the old mixtapes after the deal 50 needed to call Banks everyday so he can come to the studio 50 was trying to let Banks stay relevant and using his talent because he has the talent but he perfer the money look at Banks Now where is he now NOWHERE and thats what 50 tried to do but you can't help someone thats doesn't want to be helped 50 gave them money so everybody know that G unit had alot of money, That his record company is big and succesfull and he also did it to let the other record labels see that his artist was straight and good and not having a slave deal (contracts) not like those other artist that had rent cars and houses then the next month it was going to be posessed Like death row or puffy's label. And fif did it because he had the same situation when he was at colombia records the money that they offerd 70% he needed to pay jam master jay for studio time and his album budget so he was pretty much broke. In prodigy's book prodigy is talking about a gunit meeting where 50 was mad at M.O.P's manager because they where working in the studio of his mansion but they didn't make good enough records and 50 was tired to talk to his artist what to do and when they gotta do it thats why he dropped all the artist because he was tired to do the work for them !! Lesson learned never expect that the feeded one is going to work harder then the person that ain't feeded he is hungryy and want it all !!!!

should have touched on what Prodigy said about MOP leaving in his Book, 50 claimed that MOP hadn't recorded that much music at the meeting he held with nearly all G Unit signees in New York and Young Buck And Spider attending the Meeting via conference call. which is strange because Tony Yayo said on one of the Dubcnn interviews he did that MOP had a full album of songs recorded. (+20 Joints) 50 just started to crumble when it came to his grip on the Industry after 2006.

It's simple... M.O.P. signed at the wrong time. G-Unit fell off for a few reasons, The Streets did not respect 50s Masacre album it was soft compared to Get rich or die trying this lost him some credibility. G-Unit was corny the name was corny, the clothes and sneakers was corny and the slow jams was corny which lost 50 more credibility. Tony Yayo's album was complete trash, Young Buck's was bad to this further hurt the brand.The Game won the beef, The Game killed them he was the final nail in the casket. Then came along M.O.P. but it was to late by then G- Unit had fell off. The only good thing G-Unit had going for it was Banks but he never reached the heights he deserved. Lack of features and 50 refusing his artist to collaborate with other big artist and starting beefs with everyone did not help.
