G-Unit's rise to the top was carefully orchestrated by Sha Money XL. He was with the label from the inception until 2007. After leaving his job as president of G-Unit Records, Sha Money XL accepted a job with Def Jam.
Last summer, 50 Cent was in heavy talks with Def Jam about moving G-Unit over. Sha Money XL was heavily involved in this deal, helping make the move. Had the deal taken place, Sha would have been in charge of G-Unit, once again.
But, 50 Cent ultimately signed with EMI Records and he would take G-Unit with him. Still, Sha Money XL harbors no hard feelings toward his former partner. Watching Game put together his latest album, Sha Money XL offered his opinion.
Ever since Game left G-Unit, immediately following the release of his debut album, his career has been on a gradual decline. With the constant delays with his latest album, The R.E.D. Album, Sha Money XL feels he would fare better if he were still with G-Unit. While Sha Money thinks G-Unit is better for the long term, he feels a hit record would do better for Game than anything else.
