Beg for Mercy then sold 330,000 copies in its 2nd week to peak at #2 on the Billboard 200, while moving another 195,000 units in its 3rd week. Its bow was moved up from November 18 to thwart piracy, as was Beg for Mercy. It debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200, behind 2Pac's Tupac: Resurrection, & Jay-Z's The Black Album.

In its first week of sales, Beg for Mercy sold 377,000 copies. He is also mentioned in the lyrics of Poppin' Them Thangs when Young Buck raps, "You ain't no Crip like Snoop, / You ain't no Blood like Game." He does however make cameos in the videos for singles " Wanna Get To Know You" & " Poppin' Them Thangs". His image is seen on the brick wall of the album cover as he could not be photographed due to the jail sentence.Īt the time of the album's release, rapper The Game was just placed in G-Unit, therefore he is not photographed, nor does he make an appearance on the album. "All the music I put on the mixtape circuit was 50 Cent and G Unit." Īs the album was recorded, Tony Yayo was sentenced to jail on charges of gun possession and bail jumping, and so he makes only two appearances on the entire record, on the tracks "Groupie Love", and "I Smell Pussy". "I've been promoting G Unit since before I even had a record deal," says 50.
