This Gramps Rockin' G-Unit Clothes Can Ride With Me Any Day
All of my grandparents are dead and I’m always in the market for a couple new ones. If this guy submits an application to be my grandpa then he flies to the top of the stack. The very top. Taking two of the coolest things in the world (G-Unit and old wise people) and combining them is a can’t-miss idea. He could tell me about the time back in his day before the internet when milk was a nickel but he can also tell me the New York borough each G-Unit member is from (other than Young Buck, obvs) and knows the lines to all the songs off Beg For Mercy. Sounds like a perfect situation for me.
I’ve said it on here before but I was the biggest G-Unit fan in the world in the early 2000’s through the mid 2000’s. I knew (and still know) all of their music by heart and I wore G-Unit clothing from time to time. Yep, I was that kid. Picture the white kid wearing G-Unit shirts that every high school had and I was him. No shame either. Actual pride. I loved my G-Unit shirts. And we found out recently that G-Unit s having a reunion album that 2005 Trent is fucking PUMPED about it. I feel like people forget how big of a deal they were in their prime. The best way to describe how popular they were is to remind people that they were popular enough for Tony Yayo’s solo album went gold. Tony Yayo is the worst rapper of all time but the G-Unit hype machine was so powerful back then he sold 214,000 the first week. I don’t know what Yayo did or how many guys he killed for Curtis Jackson in their previous life in Queens but he did something that made 50 want to keep him around.
PS- Obligatory “Grandpa Unit” joke.
