The Game has claimed Dr. Dre has never actually produced a song for him — not even on his debut album, The Documentary.
During an appearance on Uproxx’s Fresh Pair series, the Compton rapper told co-hosts Just Blaze — who produced the album cuts “Church for Thugs” and “No More Fun & Games” — and sneaker customizer Katty Customs that Dre oversaw his 2005 LP, but never actually made any of the beats.
“Dre didn’t do any beats on The Documentary,” he said of his former Aftermath boss. “But I didn’t say he didn’t oversee it. You want Dre to oversee anything ’cause he’s a mastermind when it comes to that. But as far as doing a beat for The Documentary? No. And I’ve never had a Dre beat in my career.
“And again, with all the influence and all the appreciation that I have for Dr. Dre, the fact is the fact. So you know, a bunch of dope producers that Dre had under him or whoever — Scott Storch, the Just Blazes, the Swizz Beatzs, the Timbalands — helped me put together my classic album.”
The Game continued: “I basically had to get on a plane and come to Baseline [Studios] to work with you [Just Blaze] and get these things done. I did the same thing with Storch, I did the same thing with Swizz, I went to Miami to work with Timbaland, so I can’t give Dre credit for the Just Blaze beat.
“It’s a Dr. Dre executive produced album, but people just don’t understand the underlinings and how the business works. I’ve never had a song with Dre on it and Dre been in my video. [Snoop Dogg] has a ton, [Eminem] has a ton. I don’t have none.”
Despite The Game’s claim, Dr. Dre is credited with co-producing eight songs on The Documentary, including “How We Do,” “Hate It or Love It” and “Westside Story.” He’s also listed as an executive producer alongside 50 Cent.
While The Game and Dre don’t officially have a music video together, the legendary producer did make a cameo at the beginning of The Game and 50’s “How We Do” video.
The Game Admits He Was 'Hurt' By Dr. Dre Super Bowl Halftime Show Snub
The Game previously downplayed Dr. Dre’s role in his success during an appearance on N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s Drink Champs in February, claiming Kanye West did more for his career in two weeks than Dre ever did.
The interview reignited The Game’s long-running feud with 50 Cent, who couldn’t help but to taunt his bitter rival on social media over his remarks.
Either he knows he doesn’t produce his music or is just still shytting on him. It’s whatever at this point. We already heard before Daz ghost produced for Dre on Doggystyle. We also heard DJ Quik was another ghost producer. And Scott Storch was another dude who gave him The formula for Still Dre
Scott did the keys. He didn’t produce the song
Don’t forget Warren G. Dude helped Dre a lot!!!
Dre him self was interviewed with diffrent TV station he made mention of jay z wrote his still dre song and snoop doog also plays a great roll in his shit dre never use to hide their contributions
The game is a liar am a big fan of the game but he is doing stupid shit
Is his song dream he made mention of dre
In his first verse saying that dre plays an important role and now he condemn his song don’t he remember
Game sounds like a spiteful bitter ex wife right now.
I don’t think anyone outside of 50 and Yayo mentioned Games name in 15 years
Someone tell this bitchmade mf to stfu.. this guy is the white girl of hiphop. He has all the emotions of a HS bitch
Everybody knows that’s how Dre is. He’s only been heavily involved with one artist the last 20 years, Eminem early in his career. He even stopped doing shit for him after like album three. Same shit Pac said when he got to Death Row and saw how dude moves. None of this should be surprising. You’ve hardly heard Kendrick Lamar on any of his production.
Not Hardly cause Kendrick has never been on a Dre beat. Go look at the liner notes.
He was on at least one of Compton tracks that had Dre in co producer credits.
I think he had a couple of beats on deluxe songs on MCGK.
THE GAME IS DENSE AND KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT PRODUCTION. HAS ANYONE HEARD A SCOTT STORCH BEAT WITHOUT DR. DRE INPUT? BACK IN THE MID 2000’S IM PRETTY SURE ALL OF THEM SOUNDED LIKE LEAN BACK OR CANDY SHOP. SO SURE DRE MAY NOT HAVE MADE THE BEATS AS HE HAD MUSICIANS IN THE STUDIO DOING IT FOR HIM, BUT THE TRACKS CAME OUT EXACTLY HOW HE WANTED THEM TOM PRODUCING AND BEAT MAKING ARE 2 DIFFERENT THINGS.
Okay, so you basically just could have said “I agree” instead of that paragraph lol.
Welp. Tell me about it! Dre is the DJ Khaled of the West Coast!!!
The Game next album ‘Played myself’.
I’d like to watch Dr. Dre and/or Rza sit down in a studio, ALONE, and make a beat from scratch, beginning to end. I’m not sure either of them actually know how anymore. Saying you made a beat just because you were in the studio saying “Nah, take that out”, “Yeah, keep that part”, is like saying you built a car when you only painted it.
What you described is actually producing. What you are imagining (Dre or ZA in a room by themselves) is actually songwriting. Big difference…
That’s exactly what DJ Khaled does also. He has other people make the beats, all he does is shout “we the best” and other shit with his rtarded voice over the beats. thats what “executive producing” means technically.
Why is this man lying!!! If that was the case he should’ve said that a long time ago. I don’t think this man realized he only doing damaged to himself with all this lying. Sad thing I am big Game fan but the shit he be doing lately made me hard to be a fan anymore. Ever since that Super Bowl he been in his feelings about Dr. Dre. He was never saying all that shit about Dre.
Game is either an idiot or a liar, probably both
That Dr. Dre credit sold you about 2 million albums buddy. 50 moved you about 2. Then your skillet moved 1 mill That’s why you have the optics that Dre oversaw the project. Instant credibility. Never moved units like that again now ya mad.

DRILL MATIC ALBUM OF THE YEAR
FALSE
Only if no other albums dropped this year, but fortunately that’s not the case. Not a cohesive album.
Still better than 50’s trash ass. Absolute garbage after album 1 he had made for him, at least we got two classics and some other playable records from Game.
He lied!!!! *Flex voice* Game has Dre rapping on The Red Album and on Documentary 2. Game doesn’t know anything about his own catalog
Those songs you named are not from The Game slbind9
Yeah. Because the songs for 50 and 50 gave them to Games ungrateful ass
Look at all the eminem little dick riders getting there feeling hurt below me lol
The Game is soap now cz he done washed up
Remember when we got drunk, to do “Start From Scratch”?
I told you you was like a father to me I meant that
Sittin’ here lookin’ at my platinum plaques
Thinkin’ what the fuck am I without a Doctor Dre track
When Doc say its a rap – its a rap
Its still Aftermath and ain’t nothing after that
I believe him. Dre has the name and brings in protégés like Mike Elizondo, Daz, Storch etc. Most of his collaborators have highlighted this exact issue. Dre is an engineer who gets artist/producer credit because he’s a legend.
tell groupie to get over it.

Poor Game lol
Gme over lol
This dude is so in his feelings over the super bowl halftime show. It’s pathetic. Lol news flash game your not the legend that everyone on that show was. You didn’t deserve to be up there. Your a product of 50 cent. With out him no one would of ever heard of your weirdo ass. Dudes out here sounding like a female. All emotional.
Somebody slap this ungrateful 304s head
The game ain’t shit without Dre and 50!
Dude needs the stfu. Dre and 50 exec prod the album is what allowed it to be the ONLY platinum album he’s ever had. Period. Thank 50, Dre, Em for the features. Dude is a straight spoiled bitch.
this guy has a song with dre called here we go again lol this guy forgot a lot who knows he might be wrong about dre not helping
Game is a nice rapper but lets face it all of these producers with the exception of Scott Storch dont have the sound or the hits that Dre has put out they cant do it by themselves, Game is reaching and burning many bridges in this rap game he sounds ile a rejected ex girlfriend hell Dre’s ex wife aint even hating like this dude.
This guys is a desperate klown?
