Game Says Tyler, The Creator Is “West Coast Eminem”

    Compton, California’s Game recently referred to Odd Future’s Tyler, The Creator as “the west coast Eminem.” During a recent interview with VIBE, Game spoke on why he rhymed the way he did on “Martians vs. Goblins” and explained why he enjoys Tyler’s work more than most other newcomers. 

    The aforementioned “Martians vs. Goblins” features a series of lines about celebrities. He claims he’ll throw Rihanna in front of a train and “tie Lil B to a full tank of propane.” He also says he’s had romantic encounters with Erykah Badu and Lebron James’ mother. Why did he decide to rhyme on a song in this fashion? According to Game, Tyler influenced that rhyme style. 

    “The reason I did that was because I was on a song with Tyler. When you’re on a song with Tyler you can say whatever the fuck you want,” he explained. “I always say what I want but  I don’t think I  go as far as Tyler…I think he’s like the west coast Eminem.”

    He then added that Tyler is one of the up and coming artists he looks to, saying he likes him more than most other newer artists. 

    “He don’t give a fuck. He just rhyme about whatever and it’s like right out of an open book. I like him more than I like most new rappers. He don’t really want anything other than just to rap.”

    Game’s R.E.D. album is out now.

    1. Yeah game dont know tyler the creator, he said goblins his debut album.
      and he doesnt want to ‘just rap’ hes been saying lately he’s bored of rap and there will be like 3 rap songs on wolf

      1. I know right? Hip Hop Dx really need to stop riding Game’s dick and try to explore other type of Hip Hop sh*t that is been putting out from a lot of indie record label. Beside, The Game is literally too in love with Eminem and Dr. Dre as he mentions these two artists sooo many freaking times now. It’s getting annoying.

    2. game tell us about your album which btw flopped real bad
      that shit will never be gold
      don’t tell me he had a nº1 album cause that don’t mean shit, 50 BISD was number 5 and it sold 162k

    3. WTF HE HAS LOST HIS MIND RED SALE FUCKED HIS HEAD UP EM PUT IN TO MUCH WORK TO BE COMPARED TO LIAR THE CREATOR OF JACK SHIT GAME HAS BEEN VERY DISRESPECT FULL

    4. tyler the creator is no where close to eminem in terms of flow, Rhyme Schemes or versatility

      Only thing Tyler can do is rehash Idea’s Eminem himself got tired of 10 years ago

      Hopsin is closer to Em, at least that kid can rhyme, Tyler is all Controversy and no Rhyme talent, his flow and all the technical aspects are on par with the worst of the worst

    5. so can we find out why dre dont fuck with you your album gets leaked and flops and you refuse to talk about it.the last time we heard from dre and snoop was when they smokin and drinkin to jay-rock album hahha

    6. I think what Game meant was that Tyler is basically B-Grade plagiarism of Eminem with all the provocation and little of the depth that made Em interesting (I know he talks about his dad some but he comes across as an attention-starved little bitch that is pulling girls pigtails to get people to notice him rather than a genuinely hurt person).

    7. Oh and the rhyme skill. As noted before, Tyler isn’t a very good rapper and Hopsin is a much better Eminem comparison.

    8. Game say this, Game say that, Game say Dre dre is Gay, Game is Gay, Game say he meet Easy E, Game say he is the Best from the west, Game say one of his friend was playing with is phone and give the number out LA sherrif department, Game say RED is the best album out this year,Game work for DX so he is always writting about himself on here, Game shut the F***UP! you talk to Much and i know you be reading these post so take note

    9. fuck game and fuck all this artists dickriding these new fools that don’t know shit about hip hop, i can’t stand this anymore and btw this is a dumb article , i want real news , i don’t give a shit what game said about this and that

      1. 1) What makes you the expert on ‘real’ hip-hop?

        2) If you are tired of it, find somewhere else to bitch, because they’re gonna keep doing it.

    10. game the best gangsta rapper alive right now, hahah all u punks listen to j cole and shit ahah get the fuck outta here game the realist in the game .. haters go an suck a dick

      1. Real talk this nigga game fell off and the best gangsta rapper alive

        GANGSTA RAP AIN`T DEAD IT DIDNT DIE IT TOOK STEROIDS TO THE HEAD AND BECOME CROOKED I

    11. Game’s doesn’t have any credibility anymore, so him saying this is like him saying that R.E.D. is album of the year…it’s not true.

      1. he was thinking he top 5 dead or alive he act like he wrote the documentry and created the concepts he really think he a rap legend

    12. Game seriously need to stop riding Eminem’s and Dr Dre’s cock and try to explore other artists’ music will ya? I mean c’mon is this even news worthy?

    13. when you hear a new eminem song or freestlye i bet you he gonna have a line about not comparing him to no other rapper i wonder how game gonna take that shit

    14. This dude talks too much , his album bricked huge, and it was dope ahahah,im shocked at how little WTT did… cause that was a serious album .

    15. WATCH THE THRONE , ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

    16. I’ve been one of hte most critical of Slim Shady on these boards but what the fuck is this nigga Game talkin about? This nigga now just sayin stupid shit. Feminem is garbage now but even he’s still better than this faggot Tyler the Creator who blows balls. Nigga game is now just talkin out his ass. Tyler and the rest of Odd Future other than Frank Ocean are just lame ass niggas who get attention by sayin the dumbest shit. Fuck these niggas!
      Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      “I sit on God’s Throne, they just Watchin with binoculars” – Lil B

      1. fuck lil b sorry trash ass he is not talented i love how his fans try and say its because hes smart and we dont understand… naw we understand hes a fucking retard and sucks ass at rapping what hes got going for him is dumb asses like you trying to rep his shit when its pure trash… i dont give a fuck if he is” positive” in his rhymes his shits are elementary and basic as fuck lil b is gggaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrbbbbbbbbaaaaaggggggggeeee! stop hyping that shit damn lames its pathetic dude is wack and his fans are fucking retards!! based music hell that shit is like slow bus music and all you retards that listen to it sit in the back of the short bus fuckin dummies

        Bad Meets Evil – Hell the Sequel
        Pharaoh Monch- War

        What you talkin bout son?

    19. Talk about your shitty album, you faggot. This guy doesn’t even have sense enough to dissapear for a while after is flippity floppity ass album didnt do any real numbers numbers. Talk about how tyler the creators album nearly had your first weeks sales when that dudes not on a major label. Either way, whether he’s the west-coast eminem or not, he’s pulling more weight than you. Go back to G-unit and beg for fif’s forgiveness and maybe he’ll help you bang out a real album again

    20. SMH, now I know how the old heads use to feel when we compared Nas & Biggie to Rakim & Kane, they use to look at us stupid and shit, lol, cause I’m lookin at Game crazy as fuck right now for comin out his mouth with that dumb shit……

      Maybe I’m just too old but Tyler seems like a poor mans, 2nd rate Bootleg version of Brotha Lynch Hung to me, he’s no where close to Eminem Lyrically

    21. Game wtf, i cant believe you can compare Eminem to Tyler…

      Eminem is fucking untouchable at this time and I dont like you saying he Tyler is repping the West….

      1. So, Eminem is garbage and STILL better than ALL of the greats put together when it comes to pure skills. Have you heard his incredible flow techniques? This guy ain’t human, nobody touches him, the rhyme schemes are out of this world. Most talented at straight rapping ever.

      2. since when does eminem suc?…how can you even say that…even if you hate him you cant deny that hes a beast, look at some of his recent tracks not flow but lyrics…so shut the fuck up have a coke and smile

    22. We ain’t thugs for the sake of just being thugs
      Nobody do that where we grew at, nigga, DUH!
      The poverty line, we not above
      So out come the mask and glove cause we ain’t feelin’ the love
      We ain’t doing crime for the sake of doing crime
      We movin’ dimes cause we ain’t doin’ fine
      One out of three of us is locked up doing time
      You know what that type of shit can do to a nigga mind?
      My mind on my money, money on my mind
      If you owe me ten dollars, you ain’t giving me nine
      You all ain’t give me 40 acres and a mule
      So I got my Glock 40, now I’m cool
      And if Al Sharpton is speaking for me
      Somebody get him the word and tell him I don’t approve
      Tell him I’ll remove the curses
      If you tell me our schools gonna be perfect
      When Jena 6 don’t exist
      Tell him that’s when I’ll stop saying bitch—BITCH!

    23. Man im a big fan of game myself but he really needs to give it a rest , seriously look at this guy tyler , looks like a fuckin baby monkey

    24. Some of the themes in their raps are similar but there still quite different. It could make for an interesting collab though.

    25. PEOPLE NEED TO STOP BEING SENSITIVE. GAME SAID TYLER IS “LIKE” THE WEST COAST EMINEM NOT THAT HE IS EMINEM…. READ AND USE YOUR BRAIN PEOPLE IS SIMILAR CONTENT BUT DIFFERENT LEVEL AND THATS WHAT GAME IS SAYING.

    26. Tyler sux an the Red albulm was overrated..only classic Game got is Documentary, Tyler the Creator will nvr drop a classic & is really far from Eminem. He has creativity and is outspoken but Em’s ryhme scheme was untouchable something Tyler cnt do

    27. LOL, I can’t stop laughing about the fact that nobody cares about his shitty album. LMAO @ him performing songs from 50 when he’s supposed to promote his new album. Nobody wants to hear his new garbage songs.

    28. Niggas be throwin out classics like they was candy. Only niggas realeasin classics now are Jay, Kanye, Nas and Rozay. Teflon Don hottest ablum in the last 5 years.

      Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    29. when did we start comparing these weak ass rappers to Eminem ?

      for every horror rap song Em has made, he has a meaningful one as well.

      1. i was just about to say that then i seen your post haha hopsin so ill, but real talk Hopsin is WC Em, he should jump over to shady or atleast do a track w 5’9″

    30. damn, i wish i the west coast eminem, too bad im too afraid to respond to hopsin cause dude will eat me for breakfast..his white eyes are too scawwy for me

    31. WHY! WHY DOES HIPHOPDX HAVE TO COVER THE SHIT THAT THE GAME SAYS HES A FUCKING PIECE OF TRASH HE MAKES NOTHING SPECIAL AT ALL! FUCK THE GAME AND FUCK THESE ARTICLES

    32. Tyler sucks. Hes not even close to eminem. Em raps about fucked up shit but its funny and cool and the song is usualy catchy. When Tyler raps about fucked up shit on his dark and wack beats it makes u wana kill yourself. I cant listen to a Tyler record with out geting depressed. Also Tyler’s flow is boring.

    33. why is Tyler, the Creator a west coast Eminem? Is it because he has the balls to diss an R&B singer, Bruno Mars, and not anybody else? Hopsin ripped him a new asshole and the pussy didn’t respond, sp he’s not Eminem in terms of dissing people, he IS Eminem in terms of sucking ass.

      1. Eminem is straight garbage, he’s never going to be as good as he was. He also disses people then says they’re hot in the game and that they’re talented (Lady Gaga). He’s a pussy now, that just changed the way he raps, and people still think he’s some amazing dude. Yelawolf and Eminem are terrible.

      2. I agree with you nope. Used to be a huge Em fan but dude is absolute garbage since Marshal Mathers LP. Yelawolf might be the worst rapper ever. Now Em is slowly trying to ruin Royce’s career.

    34. If you’re an Idiot then read this article and believe what it says.. and do that with every other fucking thing in your stupid life… NOW if you have a fucking brain keep reading.>

      If you wanna compliment an artist(a real artist not these fake ass niggas).. you don’t say your the next anyone You tell em You’re the First You. So why the fuck is game saying this? idk – idc
      Who the fuck is Hopsin? IDK I’m not gonna look him up either.. i gave tylor a chance and listened to his shit when i first heard of him.. it was unbearably whack. The only thing i wonder is why they are trying to push this shit down our throats..Look at all the MTV new artist nominees.. all terrible.. all the articles on this website are about bullshit.. My comment will be buried by a mountain of gay shit that has nothing to do with hiphop in less then 15 minutes.. fuck this garbage fuck all these sellout clowns.

      1. difference is Hopsin is actually good and worth your time to look him up and listen to him. you dont want to? Your loss straight up.

      2. OKay My mistake the niggas not whack.. but you stupid mother fuckers posting shit about him in a tylor article makes me think hes whack jsut like him.. the stupid contacts make me think he’s tryna be gimmicky just like tylor. if that niggas got some real shit to spit he should just stick 2 that.. and not try to distance him self from whack niggas like that.. real talk no self respecting dude would listen to tyler ( that shits dumb for fat 12 year old kids who wanna pretend they hate god to get attention) i thought that hopsin shit was the same crap… But he wasn’t i checked ur link.. it was tight.

      3. also i clicked on your shameless hopsin plug listen to the nigga and gave him a chance but u didnt even read what i originally posted. you motherfuckers wanna keep saying the next eminem like thats a compliment.. smh. how do you niggas not have the mental capacity to understand that isnt a compliment.. A real nigga wants to make his own mark.. not be the next anything.. game saying that shit down plays talor and would insult em if he gave a fuck what game shit..

      1. here’s a headline – VANN DIGITAL NETWORKS IS A FAGGOT!

        i was gonna type a story which would have completely withdrawn the above statment, but u only read headlines because ur a total fucktard…

    35. i’m tryin to type rite now but Emmy’s cock is ALL the way in my rectum!!! Yes I can call him Emmy and no I can’t spelle.

      1. My point is nobody knows or cares about Hopsin except folks who hate Tyler and think those few lines he dropped were clever. I have the Raw mixtape. Heard it once and that was that. Back into obscurity he goes

      2. @ bkstylz: If that’s what you think, then you’re the biggest IDIOT on HipHopDX. Don’t hate on somebody if you really haven’t heard shit yet. That wasn’t even rap, he was just raging that time, hence the title, ILL MIND OF HOPSIN 4. If you want to hear him actually rap, check out: GAZING AT THE MOONLIGHT or NOCTURNAL RAINBOWS. Or The whole RAW Album. BRACE YO’SELF & ACCEPT REAL HIPHOP “JOHN”. Tyler is good but overhyped just like MIMS, lol. You’s just a WAG, I’m tired.
        Peace!

    36. He’s only comparing Tyler to the “Slim Shady” part of Em. You know, the dark killin sluts rapin etc, Lyrically.. I don’t believe Tyler is close to Eminem yet, definitely has potential though

    37. Tyler the Creater will never be Eminem in the West Coast, East Coast, Mid-West, South East, fuckin North America, Asia, Earth, the Milky Way Galaxy, or where ever the fuck else you can think of. Game, you just lost a lot of respect.

      1. Swear these fanboys are on some borderline gay shit. He’s talkin bout how they both say w.e they want. ‘U jus lost a lot of respect’ .. jesus christ

    38. Tyler is garbage. Using atheism to gain fame is wack and don’t deny it. Even though no young rapper can touch Em right now, Hopsin is the closest your gonna get. Tyler and the rest of Odd Future are wack.

      1. but using drug dealing, tales of murder and fucking every girl is ok?
        please
        tyler can rap about whatever the fuck he wants to rap about

      2. Are you serious? Eminem is at the worst he has ever been. Anybody can touch Eminem at this point. He couldn’t out rap Birdman.

      3. Couldn’t outrap Birdman. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, he just outrapped the whole Slaughterhouse with ease several times, you dumb fucktard.

    39. aye Game homie please speak for yourself. im from the westcoast straight outta cali. long beach 562 to be exact.i love your music but you say this is some bullshxt. dont even compare that wacc ass goblin to eminem. hes nothin like him. shady way more lyrical and that marshall mathers lp is one of the greatest in hip hop history. im 20 years old i try to listen to tyler but his music is bullshxt he aint shxt compared to eminem. cmon Game you know real hip hop just cuz he from our side dont mean u gotta say he’s our version of eminem. lets be real

    40. read the interview retards – he isn’t saying that Tyler is as good as eminem, he’s just pointing out that they both have absolutely no boundaries in terms of what they are willing to rhyme about.

      If you read further than the headline, u wud have understood this.

      Also, Tyler the Creator is fucking garbage.

    41. So does that mean in a couple of years Tyler is going to start making garbage pop music? C’mon Game how can you compare Tyler with that wack little faggot?

      1. eminem sucks dick like no other. that collabo with royce couldn’t even reignite his career. eminem is dead to hiphop, forget he even existed.

      2. Best rapper of all time, J Cole. I like nice music 🙂 Haha I don’t understand how you people can listen to Tyler talking about killing specific people. When Eminem did it, he left it nameless so there’s room for imagination. But Tyler does it like he’s speaking from a personal point of view. Haha damn, The Creator needs to get shot. I hated Bruno Mars but because of Tyler I don’t change the station when his song comes on anymore. Stop the hate everyone.

      3. Eminem would easily rap circles around Tyler off the dome. LMAO @ this even being a consideration. Eminem’s rapping on Hell: The Sequel shits on the rap game, if you see all the technical aspects to it.

      4. you all can suck on my balls like they were fifa lollipops bitch niggas wolf gang mothafucka get wit it or get gone wolves run this shit yall niggas is sheep so i suggest you stay behind ur computer cus sheep get devoured out here pussies

    42. shut up f@gs tyler is pretty similar to eminem. get over it. eminem is better lyrically obviously.

      watch interviews of eminem form 1999 and interviews of tyler now. it’s practically the same person

      1. LOLOLOL at that comment, tylers one bitch ass nigga, eminem on whole nother level, and there not the same person, DETROIT is different from wherever the fuck tylers from

    43. yo people r so fuckin ignorant, eminem is without a doubt in the top10 of all time. ask any rapper and see what theyll say, not sum fuckin bro ass nigga sittin as his computer hatin. niggaz can be racist too…games sayin tylers like “slim shady”, how he ryhmes bout killin ppl nd shit thts the comparison……nd anyone that says em fell off is a fuckin idiot, look at the lyricis on recovery…..dope

      1. Top 10 of all time? You know you are so little ass suburban white kid who just started listening to hip hop a couple of years ago. You have to be out of your ,mind top 10 of all time.

      2. honestly cinavenom…?
        Recovery sucked fuckin dick but Em is Em, a top 10 without a doubt. anybody who says otherwise is on somethin, he made enough classics to retire after Eminem Show. and in response to what you said to the other dude, my favorite MC of all time is fucking Guru so you know I didn’t just start listenin. and by the way fuck you racist, your the reason these cornballs up here promoting disrespectful shit

      3. Top 3? So in your twisted little mind Eminem is better than Nas, Kool G Rap, Big Pun, Biggie, Rakim, Raekwon, AZ, Big L, OC, Black Thought? If you think so that proves my point. You little kids don’t know shit about hip hop. Listed are ten emcees that Em couldn’t touch if he rhymed until he was 100. Em had three good albums. But just because he reaches out to the depressed white suburban kids you somehow think the dude is god. Maye top 50 I would say.

      4. cinavenom u are a faggot who is also retarded. who gives a fuck if he think seminem is top 10, its his fuckin opinion so get the fuck off the internet if u think no ones opinion is valid, im my opinion eminem is probably one of the best rappers of the 21st century, even though he went mainstream in 1999, YOU ARE A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT still though

    44. tyler is bitch made ass low grid dick in booty nigga, that fuckin faggots a joke, walkin around with all them niggas like hes the shit, fuck that puss ass excuse of music, fuck it all. that crusty cunt bitch, fuck TYLER FUCK HIM, god damn

    45. Game this Game that.. man fuk what the game thinks he thinks everybody is dope someone slap this dude he trippin tyler the creator then west coast eminem WTF get outta here lol get back to whatever u do next time keep your opinion to yo self you talk to outta yo azz hahahaha

    46. People have BEEN comparing Tyler’s style to Em! Didn’t those two men just meet each other? Why are you people so mad when it’s obvious Em & Tyler respect each other? LOL!

    47. ah what? yo I love game but come on, every word that comes out of his mouth doesn’t need to be frontline news. I couldn’t give less of a fuck about Tyler the fucking Creator anyway. that’s a wack ass comparison.

    48. Tyler is an attention whore. Also, although I found his yonkers spit descent, I was down with his satanic symbolism. It’s like he’s back in the nineties when rappers where comming with satanic elements left and right just for attention. That doesn’t make them bad, I’m just not down with satanic stuff, unless you’re a Satanist, and in that case it’s your philosophy or whatever you wanna call it, so you ain’t faking it, it’s your life style. Snoop, Cypress Hill, Onyx, etc… just to name a few. Snoop is one of my fave, but I’m not into fakeness, nor satanic cults.

    49. Tyler is an attention whore. Also, although I found his yonkers spit descent, I wasn’t down with his satanic symbolism.

Snoop, Cypress Hill, Onyx, etc… just to name a few. Snoop is one of my fave, but I’m not into fakeness, nor satanic cults. So I wasn’t digging his act for a while.

    50. Tyler has the audacity to say that his music isn’t Horrorcore, and calling people faggots, that think his music is horrorcore. The fuctard doesn’t even know what his music is.

    51. Game, don’t ever refer to Tyler as the west coast Eminem ever again please. I love you and all but your boy Tyler is a prick and I really want to push him off a cliff.

    52. Remember, GAME said he’s dope. He likes to jump on bandwagons and since Tyler and Odd Future is the new shit to be up on, he’s going to follow suit. But, to be an added Stan, he had to copy Tyler’s flow. May the Tyler the Creator/OFWGKTA name-dropping begin…fucking hell.

    53. Games a dick rider.. whoevers Hot he tries todo a track wit… this nigga is such a bitch… he an OK rapper.. but as a human he a bitch thats why people dont support him.. even on the West

    54. There’s some great comments in here.

      This statement couldn’t be more false. Eminem has some of the best rhyming skills on the planet. Tyler, as much as I like him, just says weird shit.
