Dr. Dre fans will remember the time he appeared on the iconic May 2004 cover of XXL rocking a G-Unit t-shirt alongside The Game as well as then newly signed Aftermath artists Busta Rhymes and Eve.
Reflecting on the infamous cover during a recent Rap Radar podcast featuring The Game, YN revealed that Dre only donned the G-Unit colors to please 50 Cent because Game had recently joined his Guerilla Unit.
“I called Dre and Dre was like, ‘You gotta put my n-gga The Game on the cover,'” Elliott told Game during the new sit-down. “And then you was G-Unit, so Dre wore a G-Unit shirt to please 50 [Cent] at the time. That’s why Dre’s wearing a G-Unit t-shirt on the cover.”
The Game responded in approval: “Ah, that’s dope. Nah, that’s some real Dr. Dre shit, man.”
With the 2004 issue in his hand, all of the memories started coming back to The Game, who recalled rocking the heavy jacket while braving the brutal heat of Los Angeles to the point he was sweating through the bandana seen on the magazine’s cover.
“This was a proud moment,” Game said. “I remember how much sweat the bandana was catching. It was hot as hell in that jacket. It was a sunny day, but a n-gga had on a whole coat.”
Eminem Recalls 50 Cent 'Covering' For Him During Drug Addiction
Less than a year later, 50 kicked Game out of G-Unit in March of 2005. The two remain at odds to this day and have sent several jabs at each other over the years, with the most recent exchange being earlier this month.
Dr. Dre and 50 Cent reunited on stage at the Super Bowl LVI halftime show in February, which recently took home a few Emmy Awards.
Earlier this week, 50 celebrated his “Crack A Bottle” collaboration with mentors Dre and Eminem reaching another milestone after the Grammy-winning track eclipsed 200 million streams on Spotify.
“Not Bad for a kid from South Side I’m gonna make sure i do that song on my next run. @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi,” 50 wrote.
Man i’m Trash. blood.
Back to the stripper poles Jayceon. Seems you’re real into swingin on the pole on some white man sausage lately.
That your friend 50, his mum was a lick other women. As said by himself! He fatherless and learn his homo ways from there
I bet Gayme would make a lot more money stripping than rapping as of late
Game smell like dookie
Rofl…you ain’t right….lol
Aside from all the sensational promo Games album is fucking FIRE!!
No it’s not. And all his goofy tik tokking makes me not wanna listen to him anymore. Game would be considered top tier if he would stay off SoMe and dont do interviews.
Game was a real deal,a phenomenal rapper. Don’t know what happened.
The super bowl happened
What’s worse is it seems like he is getting bad reviews on purpose. Everytime he talks it’s like he’s setting himself up for failure. Is he doing it on purpose or is he really just that mad he is not thinking shit through.
His old music still makes him top tier. Em released revival and came back harder with kamikaze. They can’t put out albums that sell millions everytime. Look at em he has sold less and less since revival as dope as he is. Happens to everyone. Comics get booed offstage at some shows rappers get stupid when they get cash. Shit goes to their heads. Can’t please everyone.
50 tried the head phone stealing move and lost 17milli. It hit him hard too, nowadays he’s not so rich.
He’s fine. What’s “not so rich” ? 50 M’s I’ll take it.
Game way to extra with all the hoe shit. Attention is one hell of a drug.
Game sounding like Irv Gotti now smh.
Drillmatic is dope as hell!!!
Boring album. The features sounded better than the artist
The Game’s new Drillmatic album is fire. I listen to it everyday before and after work.
You’re not fooling anyone, we know its you spamming in the comments how good Flopmatic is!
They need to stop beefing
DrillMatic is the dopest double album since All Eyes On Me…slicing thru your hating hearts like a samurai sword… every track goes ham…admit it…it’s okay..I won’t tell…shhhh!!!
