G-Unit Invades Panama

News
50 and the Unit recently traveled to Central America last week and performed at the Figali Convention Center. Jet-setting ain’t easy, but it sure is fun.
I doubt there is any artists out there other than (Eminem) who
can fuck with 50, when it comes to Worldwide presence.
cant this niggas perform area. or in their town always running overseas ………..always this small ass place
10,000 Panama. Respect The Grind.
Just name 1 crew getting in like these dudes…. Just 1
ARENA.
seems like 50 and g-unit are the only rap artists left that tour internationally.
Lmao… Jay Z sells out in seconds everywhere he goes. Who goes to g-unit concerts? Go a head ill wait.
@Damone
Jay-Z is unknown outside United States,U.K & Canada. & none of Jay-z’s concerts were sod out in U.S wiith the assist of Trezy songz,jeezy…..they averaged 11-14k, capacity of those shows were 18-20k.
They don’t know jay outside the U.S. you crazy man you sound like 50. There’s no bigger black act then Jay period sorry. Plus name a tour 50 then that made more money?
jay z sold out everywhere u dickhead….london 35sec ,,,,,,,,,everyone is booking him as headliner so stop .
@damone
you sound funny, when did jay-z tour in Europe ?, South America? Middle-East ?…lol..Like I Said, the only place jay-Z Tours is in “UK,USA,Canada”…..Peace,
50 Cent is known more world wide then Gay-Z …..yall need to stop dickin get the facts straight
oh boy here’s goes the debate. it’s 50. let it begin.
Well, i’ll say stop hating. 50 perform big venues. U gotta be a hater if u didn’t see the spot he performed overseas, they were venues. and oh yeah, he didn’t have big guess to bring the fans out. they came to see him only. So u can argue Jay-z, but mad chics come out to see Trey Song, and other artist. They didn’t come for jay-z alone.
That’s real talk ya dig.
Jay shutting everything down he’s the number act out man let’s be real
Compare 50 Cent world world sells to Jay-Z then u will know who the winner is
Wow 50 has some loyal dudes if yall really think that. So if someone anywhere in the world wanted a hip hop headliner they choose 50 over Jay?
50 cent rite now is not “HOT” in haters term an yet still he is gettin performances in other countries u don’t see niggas who have no.1 hits singles…..
Ok blueprint 3 sold in one week what 50 has sold on bisd.
@damone
Ok 50 cent sold in 6 years what Jay-Z sold in 12 year with only 4 albums….
^^^Im talkin about total album sells world wide not his last album because 50 Cent is trash now …but all the albums compared to Gay-Z albums he sold more Global
@ whoever is talking like Jay pays them
Jay-Z touring game is on steroids right now coz of Live Nation. (Ask Jay-Z was his touring game was like before) They paid him a shitload of money. The only way they can recoup that investment is to make sure Jay-Z gets loads of performance slots…. right…. left and centre. If Jay isn’t performing, they are officially losing money. They have 150Million reasons to make sure Jay-Z is fully booked.
Live Nation pay for the dj, the live band, the light show, supporting acts and do additional promo… not to mention their worldwide network of promoters. Basically they go the extra mile to make sure his shows are the shit (his shows ARE the shit).
Not to take anything away from Jay-Z… 15 years at the top is no freaking joke but 50/G-Unit relies purely on their catalogue. They are not getting booked coz some1 is trying to cross-market an investment, they are getting booked coz their is demand for their music.
I don’t know why people are always trying to belittle the next mans accomplishments. Shit is sad.
@damone
shut your trap.
it has nothing to with loyalty. it’s facts.You pulled you comment out your anus with no actual fact. chill kid.
anyone in their right mind knows 50 is a bigger international artist. He just came from a 35 date overseas tour, with venues. Jay-z date extension of the BP3 overseas tour is a no more than 8 dates.
Jay-z worldwide sales ain’t even half of what 50 done, and that’s with his 11 album vs 4 CDs. Common sense say more sales more fans.
I mean 50 has one bad album sales wise and now Jay-z bigger than him in popularity?
Chill kid, your nut riding is getting out of control if you’re gonna ignore facts just so u can win for Jay-z. SMH
^^^^historian…..wats with the wiki page
He had Em and dre backing him hard plus he was shot a millon times so his buzz was strong and get rich went hard. Jay was underground with no push on reasonable doubt did it with his on money. Who has a stronger base Jay because he’s not a character he’s real.
JAY Z IS THE NUMBER 1 RAPPER IN THE WHOLE AND U ALL KNOW IT LOOL……..50 IS SO 2003……HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED PERFORMING FOR 5OO PEOPLE
I don’t give a fuck who’s touring & sellin out the most shows, my single “CAKE!” is available on iTunes now so go cop that bitch so I can sellout sum muthafuckin shows. LOL *serious face* :- |
Like Riley from The Boondocks would say
“FUCK WUT THE FUCK THAT NIGGA DOIN UNLESS HE PUTTIN MY BLACK ASS ON! no homo, I NEED MY PAPER NIGGA!”

Mediatakeout.com is hilarious!! Smh lmao.. NO I did not go 2 jail 4 anything Domestic.. I got arrested in for smokin in a car from jae millz twitter about 1 hour ago via UberTwitter
Jay-Z aint even known more world wide then Lil Wayne …..Jay-Z came out 1990 and its 2010 if it take you that long to get number one single and be the top rappers then thats a loss!…@real talk Jay-Z aint more known then Eminem
I wouldnt listen to Jay he was lil wayne and Em is a white rapper vanilla ice sold records.
@ damone u sound dumb with ya em vanilla ice shit but your right i believe Jay the better artist and has a bigger presance but i remember when jay had european tour for erm was it Kingdom Come or The Black Album? but anyway he did a european tour it never sold out in the UK or Ireland Or Canada Look it up just saying!!!
IM NOT HATIN ON JAY IM A BIG FAN HE IN MY TOP 5 DEAD OR ALIVE
Ok, this is just ridiculous now. Cats saying anything to belittle 50. even with the facts in the video or tons of info online, or just common knowledge they saying stupid stuff.
i dont see the point of going back and forth with anyone who clearly dont like 50.
“Kanye shrug”
@damone
No i didn’t forget Hard Knock life tour. I remember well that the Up In Smoke tour broke it’s record, then recently Lil Wayne America’s Most Wanted tour doubled what the Hard Knock Tour did.
Please stop pulling feces out rectum to debate people.
50 gets money no doubt and I copped all his album but the last he just lost me with his disrespect to other artist plus I know what he raps is not true needs to grow alot but oh well he got more paper then he needs.
Just so no one forgets. Eminem is more well known worldwide than Jay and 50 combined.
80+ millions albums worldwide and damn gonna be near 100 mill with Recovery, no other rapper can do that or will do that. Yeah most of you are gonna hate “dude is a cracka” Yeah a cracka with more album sales and more talent than your favorite rapper.
Anyways between 50 and Jay, I gotta go with 50. He tours a lot more than Jay. Not only more in the US but more worldwide dates.
LOL at cornball get the facts bro it take Wayne an extra 24 shows let’s go off the same numbers of shows. Man people hate then some Jay
@ wow
If Jay rapped like Em would he sell 80 million?
HELL. No. But please answer.
Its funny how when someone drops some FACTS like dude did about Live Nation’s role in Jay-Z’s success we start seeing simple azz ”wats wit the wiki page’ ‘ remarks…..only furthur proof wat was said mustve struck a nerve.
Im a fan of Jay and 50. In 2010, Jay-Z is the bigger artist for sure if we’re talking about the U.S and UK. Jay’s last album was way more successful than B.I.S.D so obviously that plays a role in his increased popularity. But how does that suddenly make 50 irrelevant? His worst selling album that haters love to use as proof he’s no longer relevant outsold 99% of what dropped last year….does that mean hip hop in general is now irrelevant.
Somebody said something bout him performing for 500 people? LMFAO…where did that happen because there are thousands at this venue just like all his other ones. Not to mention that if he was one of these trashbag acts performing in front of 300 people in some local sweatbox yal would be cheerleading that person on and talkin bout how they got shit on lock.
We backwards azz thinkers when it comes to evaluating success in hip hop.
damone, you’re really stupid kid. does it matter how many shows?
what about Up In Smoke? let me stop with you. u not logical. smh
@ damone
A lot of his sales, of course i’ll admit are bought by a lot of white people.
But then again white people buy hip hop albums left and right. If you made money by that, you would never ever complain. On the other hand he has someone like Dre backing him up. I mean honestly if someone has Dre in their corner they’re going to sell like crazy. Look at snoop, he’s a high selling rapper. Not to mention Eminem has loads of talent, which helps him in the game. People rapping about bitches, cars, rims, that’s honestly played out. Hence why most southern rappers fail.
Albany4life
chill kid. dont waste your time. dudes apparently hating and say anything cause they don’t like 50. facts do nothing for them.
@ wow Em is nice I likes. At the end of the day its what’s best suits you I like jay because his music just reminds of myself in the city growing up and he raps from the heart about things he seen in life plus his flow is just crazy. Em jay they both go hard just you can’t compare numbers with Em to say he the best because he has a bigger money pool.
Fuck 50 and Love Jayz 😀 beats
@ Damone … boy shut your pie hole
Jay is arguably the best lyrycist alive…. but there’s some levels he CAN NOT fuck with 50 .
like FANS and HITS.
Jay is nice but … without Alicia Keys, Rihanna and all those pop acts he had on his album Jay would fill now fuckin stadiums.
HOW MANY STADIUMS DID JAY SELL OUT WHEN HE WAS DOING AMERICAN GANGSTER ?
gtfoh …
50 did a fuckin show in Columbia or Chile I think in front of 50k fuckin people earlier this year…
and trust me 50 can do the 5 borough tour whenever the fuck he wants just like he did in 2007.

Remember that Jay-Z is getting asked to HEADLINE a shit ton of European music festivals.

“CAKE!”
Available on iTunes & every other digital retail outlet
curtis is a bitch
selling out night clubs while HOV SELLS OUT STADIUM AND ARENAS
HOV THE G.O.A.T.
damn errybody ridin the dick of that beamer benz or bently like that nigguh made the best rap song in last 25 years or sum .get fuck out of here banks u just got the song with the hook sent to u and layed out the verse any nigguh could have had that shit. u aint shit nigguh
none of ya’ll niggaz is international, i remember back in 06 when hov went to perform in Angola that nigga even had official government escort and shit, but when 50 was there he had ecscort too but it was nothing comparing to Hov. ya’ll don’ t understand when Hov is overseas even politicians want to meet him that’s some real diplomat shit.
When Jay z came to Seattle he sold out the Key Arena (former home of the Seattle Sonics) with opening acts that no one was really familiar with like J.cole and Wale. So I do believe Jay z has the power to sell out arenas off the strength of his catalogue alone.
