This week’s Purp & Patron 
double-mixtape from Game marks a key element in his reunion with mentor Dr. Dre. The two Compton, California natives have been making new music for over a year together, as Game brought his R.E.D. album to Aftermath Entertainment, after leaving his original label for Doctor’s Advocate and L.A.X.
In a new interview with Complex.com, Game spoke about “Soft Rhodes,” the Ashanti-assisted song on Purp & Patron‘s disc two . “The whole version didn’t leak, so that’s why I threw the [Dr.] Dre joints out because they had already leaked,” said Game about the song recorded in July. Game also spoke about the choice to have Ashanti on the song, who was formerly signed to Murder Inc., a foe of 50 Cent and G-Unit at a time when Eminem, Dr. Dre and Game were also involved in the war on words. “[In terms of having a song with Ashanti], I don’t think she was riding with anything. She separated herself from the beef if anything.”
Interestingly enough, Game did not leave the Long Island, New York singer out of his line of fire. On 2005 hit single “Higher,” Game rapped “And I’ll do anything but I won’t fuck Mariah / Even if she had Ashanti butt naked in bed / ‘Cause she got a forehead just like Tyra.”
Despite past words, Dr. Dre initiated the symbol of truce. According to Game, “Dre called me and was like, ‘You ever work with Ashanti?’ and I was like, ‘Nah.’ He was like, ‘Are you opposed to it?’ And I said, ‘Nope.’ So we did it.”

R.E.D. ALBUM ALBUM OF THE YEAR SERIOUSLY NIGGA IT IS(if not then Detox)
but anyways 2011 is going be better than 2010!!!
GAME>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>YO FAVORITE RAPPER.
Shit if he was to sell on the same day fiddy came out with his album he would outsell him like that niggaa!
Your so right. RED was the best album of 2010 oh thats right it never came out. So of course its coming in 2011.. Game getting his album Detoxed so it should be out in about 3 years from now. Game is weak as shit now and Dre fell the fuck off, when is the last time you heard a Dre beat that made you say damn that shit is hard.
@GTFOH
at your mama’s house while she was suckin’ my dick.
@GTFOH
I have to agree that it has been a while since Dr Dre produced a ‘hard’ track.
He seems to make accessible / commercial beats these days. Granted, they appeal to a certain market…
@ GTFOH listens to soulja boy and OJ tha juice man.
@ GTFOH The best track he’s done in the past couple years was Catalina of Rae’s OBFCL2… That shit was hard.
that Ashanti and Game joint is fire.. Dre shouldve added Ja rule on that joint.
BULL SHIT…WEAKEST SONG ON THE TAPE!
DRE BEATS ARE WACK THESE DAYS RELAPSE BEATS WERE BORING SIMPLE AND GAY AS FUCK….WHERES CHRONIC STYLE BEATS?

damn, lotta haters talkin about dre fell off when the last shit he did was the chronic (2001).
they sayin that cuz that was 10 yrs ago. they also fo got it was a classic and barely ANYONE can make a classic anymo.
game didnt diss ashanti on higher, he was sayin mariah is so ugly he wouldnt even fuck her if ashanti was wit it. Hes sayin she sexy if anything
thats how i always took it as well…
If Game had Mariah and Ashanti “butt naked in bed” at the same time, he’d probably shoot his load before he gets his pants off.
LOL milli2g. I know that would be me too.
DRE IS DEAD!!!

2 fags. Dre dick riders
Fuck allya
Will someone please tell Game that he doesn’t need Dre for his music to be hot. There are at least a 100 other HOT up and coming producers out there he needs to research. Dre is quickly becoming a HAS BEEN and I swear after hearing leaks off that Detox album (that may never drop) I’m not impressed, and really aint checking for Dre’s music like that. Sentimental-ass, Sensitive-ass-dudes all on this site riding Dre’s dick. REAL Dre fans should really be offended w/Dre, knowing he hasn’t met our expectations, especially coming from an artist of his caliber. Em & 50 got Dre all lazy…
who u think dey inspire to b
Everyone saying dre fell of is an idiot, after 2001 look at the artists hes out out and is responsible for how many artists and classic albums…the artists you are listening to right now wouldnt be around if it wasnt for him
there all sucking one fat dick and your all worried sucking on each others dicks
How is that line a diss against ashanti? If anything hes saying shes fine. Dx is looking tired..
the game from higher “And I’ll do anything but I won’t fuck Mariah
Even if she had Ashanti butt naked in bed
cause she got a forehead just like Tyra!”
Is it me or does Game do the same things 50 does in terms of dissing people constantly. I understand that rap is like wrestling, but gracious can you say CRABS IN A BARREL.
