None of then have gone platinum or sold anywhere near the amount of albums that 40 has so how are they his biggest artist? Exactly, they're not!

Actually I think In A Major Way has hit platinum. And he definitely went gold "in a normal amount of time" with it and Tha Hall Of Game.

I found this on another Site


Rapper/Producer Lil' Jon released a statement today, which will clarify months of speculation about the status of his protege, Lil' Scrappy. Jon announced that his BME Recordings is currently negotiating a deal with 50 Cent's G-Unit Records.

"We entered a mutually beneficial agreement based on each company's creative strengths," Lil' Jon told AtlantaUrbanMix.com. "On a artist by artist basis, BME will help solidify G-Units artist in the South, where BME has a stronghold. I'll also do production for them, and G-Unit is gonna help market some artists signed to BME; the first being Lil Scrappy." Though full details about the deal were not available at press time, both labels did confirm that the arrangements are in final negotiation stages.

The statement officially ends months of speculation about whether or not Scrappy will be leaving BME to become a G-Unit Soldier. While the "Prince of Crunk" denied such rumors in an interview with Ozone Magazine last month, 50 Cent reportedly made it official during a recent interview on BBC's Radio 1 Rap Show in London. During the October 15 interview, 50 told host Tim Westwood that Lil' Scrappy was "coming over to G-Unit." Reps for G-Unit Records declined requests for a comment.

Founded in 2002 by Lil' Jon and childhood friends Vince Phillips, Emperor Searcy, and Rob Mac, BME is preparing new releases from Trillville, Lil' Scrappy, Bohagon and E-40.

i rly dont think this relates too much to the headline... maybe just a little bit... but not as big as the bay "storming the industry"... 50 cent got too many big name artists under his label that he wouldn't rly push an artist from another record label... but if E-40 under G-Unit... at least 75% of bay rap fans dislike G-Unit... and i don't know how bay fans would react...

Thank You Exactly dude don't know what he talking about.

Lil Scrappy & Trillvillle's album went platinum.

40 Watta don't even have a buzz no more so how is he the biggest star? He was on top in the early 90's with MAJOR WAY and HALL OF GAME

Except you both wrong and 40 did go platinum with In A Major Way, and gold with Hall of Game. And 95-96 ain't the fucking "early 90's", for fuck's sake.
40 ain't a fucking microwavable rapper, buzz ain't got shit to do with anything. It's a fuckload of people who'll automatically buy any album he puts out just cause it's E-40. If Lil' Scrappy and those others cats left Lil' Jon's label tomorrow and came with their own label, who would still give a fuck about em?

My OPINION. This merge between Lil Jon and G-Unit is business. 50 Cent need to gain a new audience, so why not get Lil Jon's-he has had almost no beefs, so his rep is good, that automatically will bring sales to G-Unit and Vice Versa! Will this do anything for our AMBASSADOR, I don't believe much yet. I see that Lil Scrappy might benefit, and or Trillville, BME's most popular and biggest selling artists, they're hot right now. So the Industry machine might make them bigger. E-40, I'm afraid it's gonna put him on the back burner and we won't see his album for some time. E-40 deserves a big push with this next album, some say it's do or die for him on a major. His fans are here, some still hating on his desicions, but we're not him, so I wish E-40 good luck. And all you readers check out the next issue of XPLOSIVE MAGAZINE where we'll talk to E-40 about the whole situation.

lmbao, the ignorant..you gotta luv em. Why dont you check the soundscan or billboard before you post. It'll save you from lookin like a real asshole.

E 40 -
In a Major Way Gold in '95
Hall Of Game Gold in '97
Element of Surprise Gold in '98
In s Major Way Platinum in '02

Doesn't look like early 90's to me, more like late 90's.

Lil Scrappy & Trillville
Gold in '04

Please step you music game up before you open your mouth. 100

Go here search for these artist and see for yourself.

If e-40 was the hottest artist on BME, they would release his album sooner than later. Late 90s is still awhile back considering we're in mid 2000s. I wanna see e-40 blow up again but i see where g-unit and lil' jon might wanna push lil scrappy more mainstream.

e40 sells what 300k an album now? just liek too short... i HATE e40 on this new bay production, it does not work. the tracks 40 was the tighest on were the mob tracks with slumping slow basslines that he could do his fast high pitched rapping on, another reason he and blegit always sounded so good together (polar opposites)...this new high pitchd production hes been using is WACK
