The Game is readying a follow-up to 2019’s Born 2 Rap titled Drillmatic. Ahead of its release, the 42-year-old Compton native has been much more visible, doing interviews and regularly popping up on social media. He also reignited his long-running feud with 50 Cent.
The Game was famously placed into G-Unit by Dr. Dre and Interscope Records executive Jimmy Iovine in the early 2000s, which included 50 Cent, Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and Kidd Kidd (later).
50 Cent and Game went on to collaborate on the gold-selling single “Hate It Or Love It” in 2005. During a recent Instagram Live conversation with Fat Joe, The Game denied the G-Unit boss was responsible for his career.
“I was in a group with those n-ggas, but I wasn’t breaking peanut butter jelly sandwiches in half with [them],” he sad. “I didn’t see them n-ggs until it was time to work. A lot of people like, ‘N-gga, 50 put you on.’ No, 50 did not put me on.
“People don’t understand that. At that time in L.A., I was it. I was the n-gga. That’s why Jimmy [Iovine] took me and told 50 he was putting me in G-Unit. And 50 accepted it because my name was ringing bells in the streets of Hip Hop.”
The Game and 50 Cent engaged in a social media sparring session last month after 50 Cent clowned The Game for getting snubbed by Iovine at a Los Angeles Lakers game. He also took credit for writing The Game’s songs.
“LOL The man didn’t even look at him,” 50 wrote under a video clip of the alleged snub. “Get this guy out of here 50 wrote the records. LMFAO.”
The Game Sends Warning To 50 Cent Following Dr. Dre Career Comment
Game fired back at 50 Cent and claimed he didn’t even notice Iovine, then challenged 50 Cent to write another hit.
“N-gga, I ain’t even see Mr. Burns,” he wrote. “If you wrote my records … write you one today and put it out n-gga! Your rap career died wit them loli pop strap tank tops … you a actor, [and] that’s why you ran to tv […] leave this rap shit to n-ggas who can spell correctly and actually got bars, goofy n-gga!”
GAME STR8 BEASTIN ON THESE NICCAS
SHUT YO BUM ASS UP, YOU AINT FUNNY OR SMART
Jayceon ain’t 50, and he ain’t game, he lame, he tame, bitch he’s mild sauce, he ain’t ready to make that flame switch, he’ll end up in the same situation, same shit different day, just different gangstas in his face (from Jimmy Henchmen to Wack 100)
Kidd Kidd was not in G UNIT until years after Game left/ got kicked off. Also I thought he was gonna retire because rapping in your 40s wasn’t cool.
“A lot of people like, ‘N-gga, 50 put you on.’ No, 50 did not put me on.” Mmm yes, he did.
All I know is Game only got two dope albums. Rest is below average with a couple hot joints at best.
That at the time, is what we considered being ” put on”. Until recently we never heard anything about a buzz he had in LA. To the hip hop community Game was introduced to us via 50/ G unit by way of Dr. Dre’. Buzz in the streets in LA wasn’t like having a buzz in NY at that time. Dre knew that that’s why he passed him to G unit. If he was that great Dre would have been After Math right?
His best and really only essential album was released under G-Unit/Aftermath, which means fif connected him. If he had a connection to Dre w/o fifs help, then it would have only been released under Aftermath. Game wanted to be G Unit bc they were hot. He had to get help from an NY rapper to get an album released with a producer in his hometown LA. Don’t think you were “it”.
Im white af and dont know phuc all about nothin but ya,he DID. Now swallow and give the credit where due. Gaym got more skill than 5-0 but all are nothin w/o Dre push
Game is trash he a stripper b talkn about lolipops tank tops lol. . I cant wait for Em to DESTROY his trash aka fake blood career. Then he can go b on nick cannons show full time bum
Any of y’all white boys wanna fuck my girl while I stroke my little chub and watch?
Can I pee in your mom’s butthole??
Of course 50 didn’t put him on. Became obvious quickly that 50 was not very talented as a music maker and was nothing but a one album wonder with Dre driving the bus. Has he even made one intriguing song since that album? Not in my opinion other than maybe 1 or 2 off Massafarce.
Lmao you’re a moron
Who do you think is the top, Game or Kanye? Tough call right?
Com on dawg, Kanye might be a douche but he can’t compare his catalogue to Games
Who gives a sheet . That was almost 20 years ago.
I remember when How Do You Want It Weside Story dropped. I was searching for the songs in 50’s catalogue but couldn’t find them. I was surprised to see it was a Game songs.
Its A lotta Hate towards Game in these comments, but Game been holding his own for years after he left Dre and 50…shredding diss tracks and everything else. West coast don….#Hateitorloveit
the game being a lil b!tch using an attack on eminem to sell albums a b!tch move and that’s why he be getting hate. He also been brainwashed by ConYe and he butt hurt some rappers literally put a bitch in the top 50 and left his sulky ass out. #HeDidItToHimself
I’m looking forward to hearing Game’s New Album
After 20 fucking years they still talking about who wrote those songs? Facts are Game biggest hits are with 50, and game never made a hit record after those even Kanye or Lil Wayne could not save he’s career. 50 got like 100 hits or something! That’s why game was not at the Super Bowl, he ain’t no superstar he is not that famous and nobody knows he’s music!
Game is nice, sure he name drops, thats his thing always has been lets get over that. But its been said the reason Dre hadn’t put him out and may have left him in the shelf like he’s done to others is because he couldn’t make a hit. 50 was brought in to help with the hooks. Those songs with 50 was 50 songs he gave to game, game added his own written verses but 50 did his own and hooks. Game got caught up trying to legitimize his gangsta, look at the in the club video and other few videos after that, he wore no red. Then got with henchmen then wack. One seems like he was exporting game and the other too busy trying to be the star. Im no spelling bee champ but how game gonna say spell right and put out wit. Oh and 50 had hits after die trying dont front
Look at the thumbnail. Game tryna act hard and act cute at the same time LMAO
Here we go again with this bipolar male stripper lol. He’s salty about how often he tried to get back to working with 50 and got rejected every single time. He looks like a male but has pretty much all female characteristics. All this ninja did was make rap music, he never evolved beyond that and now in his 40s, is still jealous of 50.
NO ONE WAS CHECKING FOR GAME WHEN HE WAS DOING THE SHYNE COSPLAY. WHEN HE GOT SIGNED HE WAS SITTING ON THE DRE BOTTOM SHELF UNTIL CURTIS SAVED HIS CAREER FROM LIMBO.
