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 300 Bars mixtape. The Game created this movement as a protest of inflammatory statements made after the rapper was discharged from G-Unit.

The Game's major debut album was surrounded by controversy. Right after its release, 50 Cent felt that the rapper was disloyal for saying he wanted to work with artists G-Unit were feuding with and he formally dismissed the rapper. Although details stated that 50 Cent said the Game had recorded with former G-Unit nemesis Joe Budden on a track that was released in 2004 and claiming that the Game had no beef with any of the rappers 50 Cent targeted, refusing to follow the tradition of G-Unit by not participating in the feuds. 50 Cent and G-Unit were dismissing the street credibility of the Game; unaware that The Game was in on controversial Hot 97. Later that night 50 Cent went on Hot 97 to denounce the Game once again.

The feud escalated as a shooting that night outside the radio station as a member of The Game's entourage was allegedly shot by a G-Unit street team member, though the Game claims the shooter to be a cop. They tried to squash the beef and donating money to charity but within a few weeks, however, 50 Cent and the rest of G-Unit decided to continue to make incendiary comments about The Game. The Game attacked 50 Cent's reputation at Hot 97's recent Summer Jam 2005, and on his How The West Was One tour. The Game recently released a 15-minute-long song titled "300 Bars and Runnin" addressing several of his enemies on his mix-tape called You Know What It Is Vol.3.

The Game had actually written parts of the song when he was still a member of G-Unit, and finally released it after a concert in which he threw his G-Unit chain into the crowd, claimed that G-Unit is full of snitches, and questioned Olivia's gender. The song also contains subliminal jabs against other well-known artists, like Memphis Bleek and the Young Gunz. The mix-tape contains other diss tracks to Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, and Olivia. Thus, The Game started the new revolution of G-Unot. The Game has also started wearing clothing with the slogan: G-Unot. This feud is the first of many feuds whereas, two rappers from the same label currently engaged in rap feuds with one another.

The Game also 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 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 the final diss towards G-Unit. The single "120 Bars" 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 proposed to be an insider's look at what occurred after being dropped from G-Unit including the beginnings of the "G-Unot" movement and its release will be in 2006.

The Black Wall Street mixtapes

There are currently three mixtapes that contain diss tracks against the group G-Unit.
