The Game has revealed JAY-Z cleared seven samples for his upcoming Drillmatic album, which is fully produced by Hit-Boy.
The Compton rapper took to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday (July 5) to thank Hov for giving him the green light, while also revealing he’s still waiting on three other sample clearances until the album is finished.
“S/O to S. Dot for clearing all 7 samples on #Drillmatic,” he wrote. “3 more sample clearances & the AOTY belongs to me & hit-boy.”
The Game’s new album was originally set to be released on June 17 but was pushed back to July 1. Drillmatic was then delayed once again and currently doesn’t have a release date locked in.
In an Instagram post in January, The Game compared himself and Hit-Boy to iconic rapper-producer duos such as JAY-Z and Just Blaze, Nas and DJ Premier, and Swizz Beatz and DMX, claiming people will recognize their status after the release of Drillmatic.
His recent single “Violence” interpolates a JAY-Z song but through his feature on Jeezy’s 2005 track, “Go Crazy.”
The Game previously had a one-sided beef with JAY-Z, taking shots at him on songs such as “It’s Okay (One Blood)” and “Uncle Otis.” In 2011, he explained the origin of his dislike for Hov.
“I think that’s where my short-lived hatred came from,” he said. “Yeah, man. I had it like that he was just a great dude. I grew up off of all Jay’s albums, and when I finally met him and he was just, I don’t know, he was overly cocky. The way that he played fans – and I’m not saying it to say he’s the same person now, that was like seven years ago – this is my own personal experience, so it’s not to make anyone hate JAY-Z.”

He added, “It turned me left. Ever since then, I’ve been taking little potshots here and there, it’s nothing personal.”
Jay still not fucking with you Game. This is more of a “I kinda feel sorry for this guy….let me clear these records so he can make some change”
Time to move on with your life G, you wreak of desperation at this point!
? This the closest Game will ever come to a Jay-Z feature
Who the hell is S.Dot??
Shawn Corey Carter = S. Carter = S.Dot lol just to show he’s close enough to Jay to call him by nickname I guess. That corny ass fuck.
S dot Carter turn rappers into martyrs/separate fathers from their daughters, why bother/ I’m a crook like you/ I took like you/ I disobeyed the law threw out the book like you/
TELL GROUPIE TO GET OVER IT!
It’s nothing personal, but you’re taking pot shots? Homie, you are extremely talented, and you will go down for one of the most prolific name-droppers of all time. However, if you don’t get a hold of it, it’s gonna affect you negatively (as if it already isn’t).
Oh just get on with it game. All this hype doesn’t mean shit. I haven’t heard a decent record yet from drillmatic.
I like Game’s music but if I were Jay, I wouldn’t have cleared anything for Game. A $100 says there’s a Jay-Z diss somewhere on that album, because that’s just who Game is.
Compton’s Least Wanted
Least wanted most wanted man Game is one of the best lyricist ever come now stop playing
How many MCs rhymes and names is gonna come out of his lip? Foh, stand on your own Game. If you have to resort to this level of dk riding, just retire and chase girls full time
And the dick riding begins before the album drops. Name dropping will be super heavy
Dr. Dre and JT The Bigga Figga gave the Game his juice, looks like whatever’s left is obsolete; folk have different tastes nowadays. #goodgametho
I would rather bump Chocolate Daddy.
Greatest Rapper in the group wit Ye K Dot Jay Pac Big Cube 3 stacks
Good, now maybe he’ll keep his dick out his mouth for a min.
I’ll be surprised to hear Game spit anything with all the dick he’ll have in his mouth.
7 clearances from Jay? Might as well just listen to Jay’s albums instead.
