Between 50 Cent's fearless bravado, Lloyd Banks's lispy lyrical proclamations, and the Southern drawl of Young Buck, the G-Unit's buzz factor alone have placed them atop the rap game. Their debut, Beg for Mercy, demonstrates how they plan on staying there. Their secret? No throwaway beats, keep the thugs happy. The sheer range and diversity of head-nodding beats--supplied by everyone from Hi-Tek and Dr. Dre to 7th EMP (who shrewdly samples Bach)--makes you forget their rather linear range of subject matter. Yep, the G-Unit is obsessed with violence and guns, but death threats never sounded so good. On "My Buddy," for instance, they cleverly describe in no uncertain terms how they feed this buddy--with bullets--and why they take him on family outings. Gunshot sound effects included. For some balance, the crew tries to disprove any theories that they're all about shootouts: Banks serenades a hottie on "Smile" while R&B crooner Joe drops by on the souled-out "Wanna Get to Know You" to prove that thugs need love too. It all makes for one of 2003's best releases. --Dalton Higgins

Customer Reviews

gggg gun-it
This album is just lazy garbage. Beat are boring, thier flows are tired, and the lyrics are the same thing you hear in all popular rap, only less clever. Go buy some old wu-tang or something!

a decent effort
but 50 Cent, Tony Yayo & Lloyd Banks just aren't that creative. this whole album sounds similar. there isn't one standout track & I'm a fan of 50 Cent's! in fact, he's the only one of the bunch that is actually worth listening to! I don't think people give him enough credit tbh.

Lloyd Banks is interesting cause he could be better then he is! there's potential but he's doing like 50 Cent, he's promoting cheap tracks & not getting the success.

& as far as Tony Yayo goes, well at least 50 & Lloyd have some charisma & know how to present themselves & sell their music. Tony doesn't have any style, he's the least talked about. & unless ur a big fan of G-Unit, you probably wouldn't even have heard of him. there are just a couple of tracks where I actually notice he's rapping!

there are some catchy songs on this album! don't get me wrong. I like G-Unit but it's more of a guilty pleasure. kinda like 50 Cent. you either like him or you hate him. the best songs on here are the most popular ones! like Poppin' Them Thangs! & also Eye for An Eye & Lay You Down & Beg For Mercy! cause they are the most catchy songs!

in all honesty, I don't think this album is worth a purchase but at least a listen! cause it's not as bad as people make it out to be. if you don't like rap then why do you even listen to it. or come on here & review it.

it's also not an album for serious rap fans. it's just songs to have fun with! don't take it anything they say seriously & it's all good! they don't even take what their saying seriously so I don't understand people that do.

& in all honesty, I think G-Unit would work better if they had Young Buck instead of Tony Yayo cause at least Buck has had some success on his own & has some sick beats!

anyhow, that's just my two cents. you can agree or disagree but w/e. it's just the dissing of 50 Cent is driving me crazy. cause I find it rather un-necessary.

Great Album
Listening to it as we speak. I bought it the first week of release its great. Also rap is not only about beats what u talking about.
