The Game hopped in a spirited Clubhouse room on Saturday night (January 30) where he made some bold claims about his rhyming prowess. While speaking to KXNG Crooked and Glasses Malone, he was asked who he felt was the best rapper to come out of Compton, California.
Although Game later admitted he’d indulged in “a few shots of tequila” and was feeling “real Rosecrans and Wilmington,” the 41-year-old rapper insisted he was a better MC than fellow Compton native and Top Dawn Entertainment’s golden child Kendrick Lamar.
“Can’t nobody in Compton outrap Game,” he said. “Can’t nobody in Compton out-rap me. Kendrick my n-gga. Kendrick doing his shit. I love that n-gga to death. I flew past Kendrick when that n-gga was on foot in a Range Rover and showed him how to do this shit. Don’t play. Don’t play with Game name. Compton, n-gga. Hardest n-gga in Compton, rapping, lyricist, me. Any n-gga that say any different, I’ll body him and any n-gga he fuck with.”
As far as some of Compton’s finest, Game rattled off MC Ren, DJ Quik and Kendrick as examples but kept the crown when it came to the G.O.A.T.
Game did play a role in Kendrick’s ascent to rap nobility. As K. Dot was getting his career off the ground, Game would often let him open at his shows. He’s also include him on several songs over the years, including 2006’s “The Cypha,” 2011’s “The City” and 2015’s “On Me.”
The Game Says 50 Cent Is The Only Rapper He'd Battle On Verzuz
In December 2020, the former G-Unit member told Power 106 there was only one rapper who he’d consider battling on the Verzuz platform — his former rival 50 Cent.
“You can’t really talk about Fif and Hip Hop without somebody bring up Game, and you definitely can’t say Game without somebody saying, ‘But oh, 50 wrote all your hits. You ain’t shit without 50.’” he said. “It’s a Game and Fif, Fif and Game thing.
“And so as far as the Verzuz is concerned, that is the only person I would even entertain doing a Verzuz with, because it just makes the most sense and nobody else can really go with me. I’m not sure that we gon’ do it, but if we do, I’m definitely down to sit in a room with him and have some Le Chemin Du Roi.”
Game really is underrated as a rapper. I guess some of his bipolar antics and his namedropping turn a lot of people off, but his bars were on point back in the day. I only say back in the day because I haven’t kept up with his albums since Blood Moon.
FACTS. I agree with game on this. The weirdo antics got him publicity early on, but it’s killing him now because nobody will never take him serious. I was never a Game fan, but respected his music. My level of respect went WAY up when he dropped that Documentary 2, Documentary 2.5 and 1992 back to back to back. I finally saw him outside of the antics and appreciated it. Kendrick gets the nod from most people because of the concepts and subject matter. Rapping ability? I’m taking Game.
Hello Jayceon how are things?
I’m OK, but trying to get back into stripping bro. Love you
He’s right to a degree. But DJ Quik had the compton streets on fire long before Game. Tonight and Born n Raised still bump in my ride.
Old ass
You lil Young ass mafucka
ill take game over kendrick all day anyday
Now u on foot….comparing yaself to that man smh…the greats don’t have to speak
I agree with him.
Im a big fan of both of these cats. I would give the edge to Kendrick. But Game been in it 20 years. Gotta put respect on that. And Game consistently putting out heat, none of his albums wack. Kendrick needs 2 more projects, then we can have a clearer picture.
Game I agree you are high on something, because last time I checked king Kunta kill you on your own shit….
Kendrick doesn’t drop enough to be considered a GOAT imo – ain’t nothing hit like GKMC
Better than Kenny? I agree, but it’s like how biggie was better than pac lyrically. Subject matter, game isn’t touching kenny, ever. I’m also not comparing them to Pac and Bigg. Game and kendrick might be legends now, but pac and big are gods.
Yeah whatever. King Tee and MC Eiht are Compton’s kings. They were dropping albums when Game was a child. Eiht still doing it!
Yo! Shoutout to you homie for bringing up Big OG King Tee. You spelled it Tee as in before he went just T too. You’re a real one. T kills it.
Let’s see game battle K bar for bar. Not stripping on a pole, but actually rapping. You can use references to other people all day too. Still get scorched. Homegirl that aired you can keep the winnings. Dumbass. Make some decent new music, you irrelevant ass idiot.
The winner is always the former stripper that covered up a butterfly tattoo with an LA Tat. The guy who has to reference 100 better rappers every track. Not the guy that can actually rap. GTFOH
Shut up and pay the woman, CREEP.
Game make the shit look easy Kendick make the shit look corny … Game’d eat that boy’s neck out …
Didn’t have to name drop Kenny at all, shoulda came correct and went str8 at fiddy.
So this dude has to claim he’s better than top tier rappers just to barely stay relevant as a b-list celebrity?? Hahah bray if you were top tier you wouldn’t have to name drop for a career. Accidental bars right there lmao
