In this wishy-washy, hemming and hawing world, I find my brother refreshing
Me: So why do you suppose G-Unit [50 Cent's group] made it big while D12 [Eminem's group] didn't?
Ronnie: Because D12 sucks.

And it's hard enough to make it as a rapper's sidekicks ... never mind a white rapper's sidekicks.
Remember Thug Life (Tupac), Junor M.A.F.I.A. (Biggie), Flipmode Squad (Busta Rhymes), et al.?
Besides Lil' Kim (Junior Mafia), I doubt your average hip-hop fan can name a member of any of those posses.
Posted by: Joe Grossberg at May 12, 2005 10:37 PMThat "Purple Pills" or "Purple Hills" song was good. Then again, everything else I've heard by them kind of sucks. And they all look like they're in their 30's. So your brother has a point.
Then again, I don't really like anything I've ever heard from Eminem. So maybe I'm not the best person to judge.

About G-Unit, I may not be able to tell apart Tony Yayo from Lloyd Banks from Young Buck but I do know all their names. I think I know one D-12 guy is named Keniver or something but that's it.
