G-Unot is a movement started by the former G-Unit member, The Game. G-Unot is a boycott against 50 Cent and his current members of G-Unit (Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck, and Olivia). G-Unot formed after the release of The Game's You Know What It Is Volume 3 mixtape. The Game created this movement as a protest of inflammatory statements made after the rapper was discharged from G-Unit. The phrase G-Unot is a pun on the group G-Unit. While G-Unit originally stood for 'Guerilla Unit', G-Unot has several accepted expansions, the most comon of which is 'Gangster-Unot'. This pun highlights The Game's ambivelance towards G-Unit by casting doubt on the G-Unit crews credibility and questions the manner in which they represent themselves.

Origins

The Game's major debut album was surrounded by controversy. Following its release, 50 Cent felt that the rapper was disloyal for stating that he wanted to work with artists that G-Unit were feuding with. For this deviance, The Game was formally dismissed from G-Unit by its head, 50 cent. These tensions were rumored to have arisen over a track The Game had recorded with former G-Unit nemesis Joe Budden in 2004, as well as The Game's refusal to follow the rest of G-Unit into feuds with Nas, Fat Joe, and other rappers 50 Cent derided on his The Massacre album. The breaking point was reached when 50 Cent and G-Unit were dismissing the street credibility of The Game on New York City hip-hop radio station Power 105.1; unaware that The Game was simultaneously on the air at rival station Hot 97. Later that night, 50 Cent went on Hot 97 to denounce the Game once again.

The feud escalated as Game and members of his Black Wall Street crew stood out front of the Hot 97 building. There, a member of The Game's entourage was shot after a heated argument with G-Unit. Though the crews publicly quashed the beef and jointly donated money to charity, within a few weeks, 50 Cent and the rest of G-Unit continued to make incendiary comments about The Game. The Game attacked 50 Cent's reputation at Hot 97's recent Summer Jam, and on his How The West Was One tour. The Game recently released "300 Bars and Runnin'" addressing several of his enemies on his mix-tape called You Know What It Is Vol.3. The Game also started wearing clothing with the slogan: G-Unot. This feud is the first of many feuds where two rappers from the same label are currently engaged in rap feuds with one another.

The Game threatened to sabotage the sales of Tony Yayo's album by promising his fans to purchase The Documentary and then mail the copy to The Black Wall Street Records offices, whereas he'll personally autograph each copy and include an official mixtape titled Ghost Unit.

The Game also planned on releasing a mixtape and DVD titled Stop Snitchin Stop Lyin, and is said to be the last of the "beef" between him and G-Unit. On the prequel to "300 Bars and Runnin'" the rapper released two more disses towards G-Unit. The single "120 Bars" and "240 Bars" To the new member of G-unit Spider Loc. and the DVD discloses that the song would be the end of the feud between him and his rivals. The DVD will contain controversial images and what occurred after being dropped from G-Unit including the beginnings of the "G-Unot" movement and its release will be in 2006.
