The Game has been on a tear lately, repeatedly explaining why he believes he’s a “better” rapper than Eminem. It all started when he appeared on Drink Champs earlier this month and confidently stated, “Eminem, Eminem is Eminem. I like Eminem, he’s one of the fucking good MCs, great MCs. I used to think Eminem was better than me. He not. He not. He’s not.”
After doubling down on his sentiments last week, The Game returned on Tuesday (March 8) with a flurry of tweets outlining why Eminem’s new Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) record for most certifications still doesn’t make him a superior rapper.
“All this talk I see on the net saying Eminem is better than me because he sold more records is like saying McDonald’s is better than Tam’s burgers, it’s FALSE !!!” he began. “They just put more money in McDonald’s & promoted the shit out the happy meal dangling toys in kids faces.”
He added, “Translation for those of you who don’t know how major record companies do business: it’s a machine designed to work for the artists who PLAY NICE in massa’s house. I was TOO REAL, TOO UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK & cut the puppet strings early on in my career n decided to rebel.”
The Game 2.0, who seems more ravenous for rap domination than ever, then suggested Eminem has only been as successful as he is because he’s more or less the chosen one.
“Major labels are known for BUYING ALBUMS & paying off everyone to boost sales of the artists,” he continued. “THEY CHOOSE to shine the light on. If you ain’t dancin’ to massa’s tune, you lose your budget & the machine is taken off your project and put to work on another artist who’s willing to SD [suck dick].”
He added he was “tired of the lies & bullshit propaganda they throw out here for fans to gobble up” and now that he’s “back outside” he says “this entire shit bout to get shook the fuck up!!!!”
The Game then laid how what it takes to be considered a G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) and pointed out Eazy-E, 2Pac and Nipsey Hussle were all killed as soon as they started speaking out about the nefarious aspects of the music industry.
The Game Doubles Down On Being A 'Better Rapper' Than Eminem: 'Let's Get Up!'
“To successfully become a [goat] approved by both fans & the industry (rap peers, execs etc) you have to do exactly what they want you to do,” he wrote. “Eazy, spoke out about it… he died. 2pac was vocal about everything, he died. Nipsey empowered the community, championed independence, he died.”
As The Game’s rant went on, he made it abundantly clear again just how little he cares about Eminem’s sales. In fact, he doesn’t care about anyone’s — even his.
“Fuck how many records he sold, you sold or I sold,” he said. “That’s just #s on paper n some little awards that ain’t no bigger than my YMCA trophys.”
Game the only one having this debate right now and it’s sad as hell. Mf need help.
Game is speaking truth though. Eminem fell off greatly since the eminem show and lose yourself. Encore was just a shadow of eminem show, relapse had him trying to act tough after being sober, and the albums after that were just him doing pop music with rihanna and pink. The Game stays true to himself since he left aftermath and stays true hiphop.
Oh, I know man. I try to check out Em’s shit when I can because we from the Mitt and he’s been repping hard since forever but I only gravitate towards his older work for real. I’d probably still take EM diss for diss tho
(Second post responding to you)
What the hell is going on w this man?
The Game charted higher recently with eazy than eminem’s last pop song, last one standing. That’s what’s up.
He did, but that had way more to do with Kayne being on it than Game
Yet another untreated chemically imbalanced talent going on a illogical tangent.
He is a freethinker like kanye. That’s not being imbalanced. That’s just not conforming to media sterotypes.
It’s that you Game? lol
game just saying the truth – he’s not dissng em just the perception of em his white pride fans promote online. Ems biggest liability is his white pride fans the ones that listen so they can say white people the best at rap too. they are a small minority with a big voice. streaming is anti-black tailored to troll rappers and white audiences high stream numbers aren’t any indication of song quality in any genre including rap / hip hop
Also to you game haters out there, he never said he sold more albums that eminem, just that he is lyrically better than him. You can be a megastar by selling out. Didn’t make taylor swift or justin timberlake good artists at all.
Every time there’s a Game link this dude Truth be up in the comments tryin to save this man. Game been wack since LAX. Why you think he’s out running his mouth right now? He’s trying to get people to notice him, and whatever lame project he has coming out soon. Its the new way to get hype in the industry. Plus this dude emotional as hell. He aint been the same since his butterfly tattoo and Burgandy whooped that ass. He mad he will never be a legend.
His only lame project was The Documentary when Dre required him to change his style to suit 50’s. Every project after that was dope!
Also, game is already a legend
Hey little lamb
There’s a reason why Eminem is your favorite rappers favorite rapper. Game has an album dropping so he’s using his usual tactic of creating fake beef for promo. He don’t want smoke with the white boy though.
What is eminem going to do to game exactly? Release another lame diss song like when he went after Machine Gun Kelly (who bodied him with his diss song).
Aww I feel sorry for you kiddo 🙁
Yeah MGK bodied him so hard that MGK decided to change genres and become a Kurt Cobain wanna be. ?
I like the game, dude has some great albums. The thing is, no one sticks around the game for too long cuz dude is always changing his mind and mood. “If u play with Dres name im on your ass” “nobody wants smoke with the white boy” this is qoutes from game himself. This Guy is all over the place. Sad cuz he makes great music..
He’s a free thinker like Kanye.
U make it sound like a good thing?? Free thinking my ass.. game starting to sound like his manager, yelling on day and apologizing the next…
No. This is not free thinking, this is what you call speaking before u think. Allmost the exact opposite thing.
He is emotionally unstable like most black men in America.
next week…he will be apologizing…..but folks thinks he’s keeping it real…… he’s a clown….
So many 50 stans up in here. He can’t even get a project out these days while game drops classic after classic.
it’s that you game?
0 classics. how many albums can you really label classic. none of his albums are in the top 100 in rap history.
I’m tired of this idiot, 3 post about the same shit!
This literally has nothing to do with the color of your skin. Just stop. He’s only going after Em cause he is low hanging fruit due to his skin color. If he went a Jay-Z he would get a wildly different response. For how welcoming hip-hop is supposed to be, it is very separated based on skin color more so than actual skill.
All this talk Game is doing, just release a diss song already so Em can release his and we’ll see who’s better.
Game could beat Em. Just listen to 200 Bars. Complete ether to Joe Budden
This is what happens when your career fizzles out and you lose all your publishing to a woman due to a sexual harassment case for 7 million, you become a bitter jealous spiteful shell of person that’s so intolerable that even most your own family members dislike you.
Off his bi polar meds again. This guy from change of heart and his failed career. Only rapper I know of to get his whole life’s earnings taken by a chick from VH1. Stop it you a joke Em the GOAT
Game is insane. Or a fool or both. People forget Marshall Mathers was a dirt poor white kid who grew up in the worst parts of Detroit. I know people heard the story but It Really Was Like That. He had almost ZERO chance of getting a record deal let alone sell billions of records. What Em did is an anomaly and will never be seen again. This is just hate, acknowledge the greatness and keep it moving. You had no problem With the Interscope machine when they were pushing The Documentary did you
GAME IS A BUM. DUDE SPENT THE WHOLE 2010 DECADE EMULATING STYLES AND CATCHING BRICKS.
Lmao Game shut up
Game 200 bars shows what he could do in a battle. Him vs Em would be a Jay-Z vs Nas type battle. Game at his peak could beat Em in a battle. Now both are older but it would be best battle since Hov Nas.
game can’t write a hook. every one but maybe 3-4 songs are replayable.
I’m a big fan of both artist. The Game is a certified spitter….. He can go! And Em… That’s Em. But seriously, Game seems so desperate lately. Hes spent more time being rich and famous than a being a street dude…I only say that to say this.. Who gives a fuck of your back outside… You aren’t top ten. Your a mid level consistently average rapper. And eminem ain’t a battle rapper no more. He’s dam near 50. But ain’t NOBODY fuxkin with his pen. Quit it lol
The Game seems desperate? Why, because he points out the obvious?
Eminem isn’t top 10 either. He’s N’Sync in baggy pants winking at white girls who feel left out by daddy. Or angry white boys who never got that car they asked dad for. If you go back and listen to his catalog, it’s groan inducing. Like roll your eyes out of your head, how did I ever listen to this garbage eyeroll.
Dre’s the reason either of them had a career. But in all honesty, they’re both wearing depends and who GAF.
Game ryt bout dis situation. Em only RIAA Certified but he not street certified or world record certified lyk King Tekashi is.
Eminem is “14-year old white girl wearing baggy pants” certified.
again he’s not singling out just Eminem, he mentions everyone including himself.
If this is some cap just to go out like a chimpanzee kamikaze then he’s listening to the wrong kanye. He don’t see that kanye using his cap ass to make stem player official
There is a ulterior motive to game suddenly making comments about EM. Promotion for new album maybe. Something just feels off.
They’re all senior citizens just trying to get a little media attention.
Game is a 14 year old girl. The only red he rocks is his tampon. The nwa on his chest stands for “never wipes anus”.
Hey, why would you insult 14-year- old girls like that, though?♀️
14-year old girls think both of these creepy dudes are terrible.
Speaking of 14-year old girls:
“My step daaaaaaaaaaaaddddd OMG my step daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!!!!!!!!!”
lmao
The only thing I got from this article is that Game is the Hip Hop Tam’s Burger.
The Game is actually a more interesting rapper than Eminem, but white teenage girls don’t relate to hood stories. They relate to “Step daddy beat me and I need to cry on record about it” stories. N’Sync sold records, too. They’re not better than The Eagles.
Teenage girls are not Em’s market but nice try,lol
Let’s be very unapologetic here. After all this praise that Eminem has received, the Game goes on Twitter like a 12 year little girl tweeting how ‘Em ain’t shit. Sounds like a desperate cry for attention. Sorry dude! Find a better way to hide your jealousy!!
Eminem is one of the most miserable MFers on the planet. He’s afraid to go outside most of the time and when he does make a rare appearance, he looks like he’s about to shake to pieces. No one on earth would actually be jealous of Eminem. He’s almost a total recluse who – as communicated through his music the last 10 years – lives in the year 2002 like some Twilight Zone character.
Yeah who would want most rap records sold, 10+ #1 consecutive records. Who wants a 150 million dollars, who put 50 cent on. man it would really suck to be the GOAT you fool. /s
Eminem’s last three albums sound like a ragging teenage girl spilling their guts to a pink diary. Game has NEVER spit anything as repugnant and stupid as “My step daaaaaaaaaaddddd!!!!!!!! My Step daaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddd!” It’s embarrassing.
who fuck are you dont come with nonsense ,you fucking hater and there is a rap song for this kind of shit you talking about. damn you asshole .listen too your pop and leave eminem out.
Your a fucking idiot… Anyone who can’t admit Eminem is the greatest rapper/musician/lyricists ever is just hating.. he’s the career killer.. anyone going at slim basically drops off the earth afterwards…
The G. O A. T. hands down Eminem

He had a song talking about his step dad… so what. EM is a legend and The Game has plenty of songs I skip when I listen to his music. What’s embarrassing is those clowning those who are considered great by plenty of their peers but you think your opinion matters,lol
Incorrect. Eminem is just a pop star who benefited from MTV’s last big decade. He came out at a time when Ja Rule went triple platinum and rap was the new rock. He’s popular because he’s white and had Dr. Dre backing him. He’s an actor and pop star. Please stop equating him to hip-hop music. He’s not. He’s just a pop star. And pop stars sell albums. Ask Britney. Ask N’Sync. Ask anyone from that era.
Eminem’s sales before Dre: 1,000. He didn’t even win the rap Olympics he loves to talk about, that went to some black rapper who was better than him but never got a record deal because he was black, and white boys who buy albums don’t relate to stories by black rappers. They relate to “I gotta get out of this trailer or I’ll go crazy” stories, people who look like them. But for Dr. Dre, Eminem never sells. He’s never seen. And he knows that. He’s mentioned that. More proof: Just look at Dre’s net worth compared to Eminem’s. It’s obvious Dre is a genius at taking mediocre talents and making them huge.
Eminem wasn’t signed before Dre,lol. EM is Hip Hop. Mediocre talent is probably describing you but EM is a legend. What rapper never got a record deal because he was black? Lol
Lol, The games best song is 60% 50 cent. Plus, Em runs his own label. Wtf is this fool actually on about??
Awwww!!! He caught feelings over a white man being better than him. How surprising!
