Much has been made of the collaboration between Game and Pharrell Williams. While most of the talking regarding the pairing has come from Game’s end, the Neptunes producer gave his own account recently.
In a video interview with Hard Knock TV (watch below), Pharrell says Game is “one of the most underrated emcees in the game. Pun intended. He is. He is.”
“West coast mentality with an east coast understanding,” describe Skateboard P of Game. “He’s a quintessential emcee. I’m sorry, he’s one of the best.”
“He has maybe thirty or forty records,” revealed Pharrell. “He’s just picking the best twelve. We worked on a huge body of work. He has some great records from Dr. Dre, he has some dope records from Cool & Dre…he worked with Preemo. His Preemo record is…whew!”
Watch the interview below:
1ST
FALSE! The most underrated emcee is Z-Ro. UNDERSTOOD EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody knows that Game is just alright as a mc…the most underrated is Chamillionaire…
Game is Gangsta Raps answer to canibus, cant generate a buzz without someones name in his mouth. Without Beef, nobody cares about dude, you know your useless when you got a single produced by the Neptunes with Justin Timberlake singing the hook, and it comes and goes without notice, lol
Games only hope at this point is to start a beef with Drake or put Eminem on his single or have Lady Gaga dance around in his video, one of the three because he, on his own, aint got no ones attention and that album is never coming out
Co-Sign to a tee. Though I disagree with the point that Canibus needs to beef to sell records. Rip The Jacker and C of Tranquility prove that.
you white mother fucker
Fuck that, Black Thought is one of Hip Hop’s most underrated.
Co-sign.
i dont think Game is underrated in this Pop – Hop era.. He is definately in the top 5 rappers alive list.. RED will be a classic
lyrically? pharoah monche is better, more under-rated. Monche goes, Im in a cinematogra(free) state of mine, Game doesnt think that far! Royce da 5,9, Trice they are under-rated!
Royce had the chance to have a great career but he himself fucked it up. Instead of talking to Eminem himself when D12 was dissing him he went right back at them with disses. Stupid move. He’s also trying to beef Canibus now just because Canibus dissed Eminem and he wants on Em’s label. One of the members of his group gets punched out and Royce does fuck all. Royce is like Gorotex from Non-Phixon, an ill lyricist but horrible at handling a career.
Inspectah Deck.
Deck is not underrated. He made some of the greatest verses of all time with the Wu and all but his discography is straight garbage.
I think he is. Absolutely not getting enough creds for his flow, lyrics and delivery. Also, Uncontrolled Substance is fire.
Game is a totally average rapper. He’s an N.W.A-wannabe. He needed to beef with 50 to gain attention from the masses. His albums are all average to good, mainly because of the guests who make the albums better.
most underrated: no order
Black Thought
AZ
Pharoah Monch
Chamillionaire
Killer Mike
Rass Kass
Chino XL
Brother Ali
Crooked I
Devin the Dude
pharrel jus sayin that shit cuz he producin half his cd…GTFOH
game wack now he even tryin to get wit banks cuz da unit hot again…
Game Is being given all the resources to succeed and isn’t delivering . The song Phantom is Dr.Dre’s sickest beat in a while with Robin Thicke on the hook and Game makes a song about Phantoms WTF? Nobody has a Phantom, People feel like dickheads bumping that shit and Game is a dickhead for making that shit in this recession.
That was a toomp beat you fucking mongoloid.
What the hell is Pharrell thinking The Game is an average rapper who is much bigger than he should be. Their are a lot of rappers who are less known and much better than The Game.
Lookin forward to RED!!!
whenever that shit come…
documentary was siiiick, doctors advocate was even better, and lax was dope too
so i dont expect any thing other than a classic for red, now that the nigga game back with dre
i agree game is a dope mc, and he makes some good shit
but seriously, people like AZ are underrated
This has to be a joke. Game and underrated? He is overrated as fuck, the only good album is ”The Documentary”.
AZ, Joe Budden, Elzhi, Vakill, Hell Razah, The Last Emperor, Access Immortal, OneBeLo and Cormega are underrated and are 100 times better than game, he is a faggot.
If you really think your a hip hop head, then you’ll know damn well that premo is the man to bring out the best in almost every mc. From the newjack kid up to the OG legends, all have there best bangers on a preemo joint..nas common jay z royce 5″9 the list goes on…….
So if game wants to prove himself all over again to the cynical, doubters haters or whatever you wanna call em it’s a good move putting yourself out there with hip hop’s finest beat producer
didn’t kanye and banks already pull this stunt? watch how far this goes
word.. GAME is the est rapper alive..
pharrell is a fucking faggot, he’s not making rap his making pop music. game is untalented, most underrated rapper: Z-ro.
every person on this list is more underated than game. i do admit he has 3 greatly produced albums, but as an mc hes nowhere near the top.
this is a rapper who’s been over looked too many fucking times
did it take a pharrell cosign for people to realize this?
J
stop calling him skateboard p already, he dont put in his time on a skateboard, hes a poser

Ha ha pharell is hyping Game up for his upcoming album. Game underrated???? Game is just an average rapper who has the luck to rap over dope beats.
The Documentary isn’t a classic idiots. How can an average rapper make a classic???
Game must find a job in advertising because in his albums he’s always promoting other rappers and producer.
My fault Game is really the KING…. the king of namedropping
dude GAME is the sickest rapper besides eminem and 2pac to ever live. you smokin crack. All GAME shit was classic and yall talkin bout banks and them pussy ass new york gunit niggaz like they ill!GAME put a end to them pussy ass unit niggaz in 06.

This picture of Pharrell looks so gay.
i thought game was a fast developing mc over the coures of dropping those albums and various diss joints to g unit and other artists but these days it seems he out of steam, early! lyrics are just not there.
SLOW DOWN…Drake’s album was not comparable to Reasonable Doubt or Illmatic. His mixtape was better than his album and yes I am a fan, but you are getting a little ahead of yourself.
Black Thought is the most underrated MC.

i thought game was a fast developing mc over the coures of dropping those albums and various diss joints to g unit and other artists but these days it seems he out of steam, early! lyrics are just not there.
Every (hiphop & rnb) artist has become that way… Labels are fucking up because they (make) the artist state the release date like eight or nine months before then like a month or two before the the album is ment to drop its delayed (artist give a lame fucking reason like to do more joints or more features) but the real reason is the label wants more money so they think they have to promote more.
But what they don’t know is us fans get extremely fuycking frustrated (well I know me & peoples do) I can’t recall one album in the last two maybe three years which has actually dropped on time!
Drake actually dropped on time on June 15,2010 I was happy with that,as it was a and still is a Classic album,comparable to Nas illmatic,Reasonable Doubt,In My Mind,and College Dropout
actually lupe is the most underrated rappper,ever.
nope not even close dummy
actually this has some validity to it…lupe is quite possibly the most underrated…his intellectual prowess places him far beyond where people thinks he should be…
Thx for saying this…
Lupe is the most UNDERATTED RAPPER IN HIP-HOP PERIOD,CANT WAIT FOR LASERS ON MARCH 8,2011
Game is the most underated Westcoast MC
Common is the most underated Conscientious rapper

Seeing that Pharrell is the executive producer on R.E.D, is anyone surprised with this?
I was gonna say that too, haha.
NEXT GAME WILL BE SAYING PHARRELL IS BETTER THEN TONY HAWKS
TOO MUCH BULLSHIT IN RAP TODAY. GAME IS OVERRATED, TAKE AWAY THE NAME DROPS HIS TRACKS WOULD BE ABOUT NOTHING THESE DAYS. BRING BACK THE G UNIT DAYS WHEN HIM AND 50 MADE FIRE

THE GUNIT ALBUM WAS FIRE.. THE FUCK YOU CHATTING? YOU SOUND LIKE MAD GAME STAN
I COULDNT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT 50 OR G UNIT I WANT GOOD MUSIC AND GAME AINT DROPPED GOOD MUSIC SINCE HE WAS WITH 50 AND G UNIT FACT

what a joke! trying to do the kanye/banks thing.. atleast kanye was right but banks is one of the most buzzing artist right now so he aint underated no more! HFM2 NOV 23
where is red?????
no doubt boss, i’ve felt this way myself. i’m glad pharrell is putting him on.
game is over! wasnt hi album meant to be out 2 months ago!? he dropped like 4 songs off it and none of em popped one bit!! he even managed to flop on a song with justin timberlake on it.. dude is over!
Thats because your Bitch-ass dn’t know good music even if it came up and beat your ass and pissed on you!
Look at Game’s “Sound scan” song he’s rapping like “Young Buck, when your album coming out? Naw.. fa’real .. go ask 50 when your album comin’ out”
Now look at Game, one year of pushbacks, so now I guess we gonna ask Game when his album is coming out.Naw…fa’real, when his album coming out?
pure comedy
I don’t doubt Game for a second…boy has got ear for music, so i don’t doubt him for a second…he needs to hit the studio with Kanye as well now
False!
Game is a hoe ass nigga. I remember talkin bout him on a forum like this and actually got E-Gangbanged on by his BWS bitchboys. LOL… He’s trash, and his label is trashola…Game Over… + Ras, Immortal, and Pharoahe are WAY BETTER SPITTAz… FUCK GAME….his address is 1547 Hillcrest Ave Glendale, CA 91202. Go tell him I said that….
Your a hater,Game is 10x times more successful and more influential in the game than any other lames you just listed.Game went 5x Platinum worldwide,and what had Ras Ass,Pharoahe CARCUS SOLD.I mean Pharrell Williams has sold more records than them,and hes admitted hes not bonified MC/rapper,you know you like Game,and probably got a couple Cds in your home,and songs on your ipod LAME
You get an L for that comment
Thats why Pharrell is my nigga,and chad,hell The Whole Neptunes and Star Trak/BWS
ummm..i usually dont comment on bullshit rap artists but GAME IS WEAK AS HELL..always has been..always will be..his music is forgettable..very forgettable..what the fuck is a west coast mentality and an east coast understanding?..thoughts anyone..any track he ever did with a big-name rapper..easily one of the weakest verses..nobody u know can even recite a Game verse..or lyric..out of any nigga to get acclaim in the last ten yrs..he is easily the worst..no solo hits..fuc outta here..pharell was bein “nice” about it..he know dude a lame…
I get money like Junior Mafia used to,

Lunchtime I was sellin’ behind the bungalows,
baggin’ up rocks the size of melons,
That’s when the fiends start tellin’ you can
catch ’em on the couch everyday at 4 o’clock – Big Dreams By The Game if you don’t think thats HOTT you must be on fuckin Crack!
@Anonymous , that verse is wack compared to his old shit . 300 bars is 1 of his best songs . And the mothafucka dissed the shit outta everyone , nigga is a problem whether you want to believe it or not .
R.E.D will be a classic.. cant wait
All of you fuckin haters need lay off the fuck off go do something else with your bitch-ass self. The Game is better then all those other clowns in G-unit 50 cent is bitch he hasn’t had a good single since the massacre and Lloyd Banks is still the same punk bitch rapper he was in his first album he was just able to get on one good fuckin record he has no skills as an mc unlike game.
ALL I GOTTA SAY IS GAMES NEXT ALBUM WILL B BETTER THAN ANY OF 50 CENTS COMMERCIALIZED ALBUMS…THE GAME IS REAL AS IT GETS AN TO ALL U HATERS IL BET HE WILL FUCK U UP ONE AN ONE LIKE HE WOULD 50,BUDDENS,YUKMOUTH,BANKS,YAYO THATS TRUTH
