As 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". His image, which is from a photo taken from the photo shoot for Get Rich or Die Tryin', is seen on the brick wall of the album cover as he could not be photographed due to the jail sentence.
At 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. He does however make cameos in the videos for singles "Wanna Get To Know You" & "Poppin' Them Thangs". 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."

In its first week of sales, Beg for Mercy sold 377,000 copies. It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, behind 2Pac's Tupac: Resurrection, & Jay-Z's The Black Album. Its bow was moved up from November 18 to thwart piracy, as was Beg for Mercy.[4] Beg for Mercy then sold 330,000 copies in its 2nd week to peak at No. 2 on the Billboard 200,[5] while moving another 195,000 units in its 3rd week.[6] By April 2008, it had sold over 2.7 million units in the U.S.[7][8] and has since been certified 2 Platinum by the RIAA.[9]
No Mercy, No Fear is the second mixtape by hip hop group G-Unit, released on August 1, 2002.[2] Originally released independently as a free mixtape,[3] it was re-released in 2006 by BCD Music Group.[1] No Mercy, No Fear was recorded after the group's de facto leader 50 Cent had signed a $1 million deal with Aftermath Entertainment and Shady Records following the release of his 2002 compilation album Guess Who's Back?.[4][5] It featured the hit single "Wanksta", which was added onto the 8 Mile soundtrack album and later as a bonus track on his 2003 commercial debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin'.[6][7] It also contained the freestyle to Puff Daddy's song "Victory", from the album No Way Out, which was later used on Bad Boy Records's compilation album Bad Boy's 10th Anniversary... The Hits.
Described by Billboard magazine as a classic,[7] No Mercy, No Fear was released during 50 Cent's and G-Unit's 2002 mixtape run,[8] in anticipation of his debut album.[9] According to Billboard, the mixtapes caused "tremendous buzz amongst hip-hop fans and artists".[10] Vancouver Sun wrote that the mixtapes "widely circulated" for several years after the release.[11] By rapping over instrumentals from other artists and then releasing it for free, with No Mercy, No Fear and the other contemporary releases 50 Cent revolutionized hip hop mixtapes,[12] creating a blueprint for later artists, such as Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, and Drake.[13] The mixtape was ranked No. 5 on XXL's Top 20 Mixtapes list.[citation needed]
Ten years ago was one of the all time great days in rap album release history. On November 14, 2003 Jay Z dropped his classic "retirement" album, The Black Album, 2Pac dropped the soundtrack to Tupac: Resurrection, and G-Unit dropped their debut album, Beg For Mercy.
Nowadays, The Black Album is generally regarded as one of Jay's best albums and a certified classic. But what about G-Unit's Beg For Mercy? It was certainly a big deal at the time, though it debuted behind both Jay and Pac's albums, it still sold 377,000 copies its first week out and eventually sold over two million copies. But the question remains: Is G-Unit's "Beg For Mercy" A Classic? It's been 10 years, so it's definitely enough time to decide if its a classic or not.
On the 10 year anniversary of the album, Complex staffers Joe La Puma, Jack Erwin, Rob Kenner, Nick Schonberger, Dave Bry, David Drake, Insanul Ahmed, Brandon Jenkins, and Justin Davis gathered around a campfire an email thread to debate. And then we all screamed, G-G-GGG-G-UNIT! Here's what happened:
That's the thing though: Listening to the album this morning, 10 years later, feels more like a nostalgia trip than listening to an actual great (much less classic) rap album. I'm not putting this album on and listening to it cover to cover, which is my test for "classic" status. Too much filler. For the love of Christmas, it's got a song called "My Buddy," which uses the chorus from an '80s jingle for a stuffed toy as a metaphor for gun ownership. I mean, my fucking buddy. Really? That disqualifies the whole thing from classic status on GP.
Joe: The "classic album" title makes a lot of hip-hop fans catch feelings, but to me Beg For Mercy is worthy. When you think of "classic" rap albums, a canonical list comes to mind: Illmatic,The Blueprint, and even Jay's Black Album, which dropped the same day as their album. But that's the thing: Crew albums? What crew album can you think of that would even be in the conversation. Diplomatic Immunity, maybe? For my money, Beg For Mercy ranks at the top.
50 was imposing his will on the rap game. He's was changing rap into something more like his own image. For me, "Footsteps" is the joint on this album. That song so perfectly captures 50's ability to make a really catchy pop chorus out of something unexpected. A Christian parable?! ("First there was two sets of footsteps in the sand/Then there were two sets of footsteps in the sand/When times get hard and the shit hits the fan/God don't walk with me, he carry me, man.") 50 takes this little poem, one that you see hanging in old people's kitchen, like carved into a piece of lacquered wood, and delivers it in a voice that still sounds like what he's really saying, is, "Yeah, so don't fuck with me. Because I got the power of God with me. And I'll kill you."
2003: After the seven-time platinum success of Get Rich Or Die Tryin', 50 Cent and his co-conspirators at Interscope/Aftermath/Shady were looking to capitalize on the Queens rapper's overwhelming popularity. Enter 50's crew, G-Unit, and the release of their debut album, Beg For Mercy, the first album on 50 Cent's freshly minted G-Unit Records imprint.
While the crew would dissolve amongst in-fighting and very public beef in the decade after the album's release (and 2014 reunion for the XXL cover story), Beg For Mercy is symbolic of the era that it was released in. 50 Cent was the hottest act in hip-hop and brought his crew along with him to enjoy in the spoils. Beg For Mercy is one of the greatest crew records in hip-hop history.
Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 62.7/100, a mean average of 53.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 53.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.4. 0852c4b9a8
