The Game recently stopped by REVOLT’s Drink Champs podcast to chop it up with DJ EFN and N.O.R.E., where he dove into a plethora of topics. From G-Unit and his gang affiliations, nothing appeared to be off limits. In an Instagram clip promoting the forthcoming episode, The Game is wearing a black face mask and sunglasses until he eventually gets too hot and removes it.
After proclaiming he was the “G in G-Unit,” the conversation jumps to Kanye West who teamed up with The Game for the single “Eazy” earlier this month. The Compton native was also on deck at the Donda 2 listening event in Miami on February 22 to perform the cut. The collaboration netted Game his highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 song in nearly 15 years.
As he told EFN and Noreaga, “It’s crazy that Ye did more for me in the last two weeks than [Dr.] Dre did for me my whole career.”
The Game signed with Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment imprint in 2003. Interscope Records CEO Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre paired Game with 50 Cent and G-Unit in an effort to build buzz for Game thereby fueling interest in G-Unit. Game made his first cameo appearance in the video for 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” where he’s filmed dancing with a girl.
In 2005, he catapulted to rap infamy with his debut album The Documentary, which was eventually certified 2x-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). He followed up with Doctor’s Advocate in 2006. Both projects’ titles were nods to Dr. Dre and featured contributions from Kanye West.
Dre and Game’s relationship became the center of controversy earlier this month when Game’s manager Wack 100 appeared to say the “Hate It Or Love It” rapper told Dr. Dre to “suck his dick” prior to the Super Bowl LVI Pepsi Halftime Show. But what Wack 100 really said was, “18 albums ago” not “18 hours ago” like many people thought.
On February 20, Game took to his Instagram account to do damage control, writing, “I ain’t had no conversation with nobody regarding Jay-Z and the Super Bowl he put together. I don’t feel no way about no being included. It was a GREAT SHOW featuring iconic artists. It was a WIN for the culture.”

He continued in the caption, “I control my own narrative. Do not be fooled by the internet, blogs, podcasts or anyone speaking on my name that is not me. My life & new album are both amazing & I’m in a great space creatively & artistically. I’m in Miami to help Ye’ finish Donda 2 & support my friend in one of the most pivotal times of his life/career.
“Leave me & my name out of any NEGATIVE conversations unless I have given you a REAL reason to include me !!! Hov’ continues to break down doors for the culture & I am in full support of anything & anyone who is on the help side of urban greatness.”

“How can you assess someone who’s been flip-flopping their entire career? Game’s bipolar” (50 Cent).
I remember Yayo said the same about Game being bi polar and ever since then I cant help but see it…
Everytime I hear game speak he makes me want to go in my cd collection and throw documentary and D.A away so I don’t have to feel associated w him.
Surprised you still owned them…smh
50 Cent did more than anyone.
Dre gave u classic/iconic album that because of it ur name is a thing and we hear whatever ignorant bs come from ur mouth today
koonye gave u moment on garbo basic beat where he act like manchild and u vomit ur typical corny south outs. Dont get that much excited this moment is not big as u think
shout*
Just stick the Game, 50 Cent and Kanye West in a room and let them argue to the end of days about who had their music career fall off the hardest. Kanye flat out forgot how to make good music about 10 years ago. 50 was obviously just talentless music wise and was just a propped up persona for one album. And Game, well you were always average and still are, so I guess you win?
Maybe the worst take anybody has had on here. Even if you don’t like the last few years of Kanye, you can’t act like TLOP doesnt exist. That shit is amazing. I’m tired of these wack ass haters
Tlop is garbage
If a fight breaks out, 50 will be the only one to come out of this room alive.
Ya right. Without Dre no one even knows The Game existed. ALL game does is mentiom biggie dre and pac… like he was best friends with them. I like his music but hardly. The game is my favorite rapper said no one ever. C class artist.
Dr dre didn’t do shit lately. Unlike kanye, he isn’t a free thinker. He cozies up to Jimmy’s money while kanye is freely thinking outside labels
Haha. You really falling for this bullshit Kanye is doing? You gonna spend $250 on his stem player for his weak ass album? You really think he’s all extra Christian now? Why? Because he said so? You realize he suffers from mental illness. You idiots follow crazy people around like they’re Jesus. He’s not a free thinker. If anything, he’s a marketer and you’re falling for it. Your comment alone omits you from any form of free thinking. Fall in line.
He said then Dre, not 50. This time
If he talking about producing music I see his point. Dre scared to flop. Compton the sound tracked flopped very badly. Eminem put his projects together. Interesting to see what KDot does when he leave TDE. But even Tupac said Dre take to long to put out a album. But he probably did feel a certain way after the super bowl. But Game had that sexual assault conviction. And Dre fake like that. Look how he played Eazy. And Eazy put Dre on the map. Dre was doing the electric slide going nowhere. Cube was in Arizona studying to be a architect. Its a cold world the entertainment business.
Game was on the shelf about to get dropped from aftermath, bit dre held on to him and help put him with 50, he gave him his career. Sure he feels a certain way about not being on the halftime show. But just cause he’s being talked about because Ye dissed Pete on a game track doesn’t mean he did more for him. Seems like rappers view their career based on comments and likes now.
Bipolar recognize bipolar.
The games a straight weirdo. Dre signed him. Instead of dropping him he put him with 50 who was the biggest star at the time. Let him ride that g unit buzz. Them gave him some of the greatest production hip hop has ever seen on the documentary. With that production and the g unit buzz game should of sold like 50. But his name dropping lyrics on that album was straight trash. Then he turned against his own team and sided with Jimmy henchman. How can you have 2pac tatted on you and you rock with henchmen? Dudes a straight weirdo. He turned on the whole team that put him on. He even fell out with his own brother. Lol
..didn’t you have a song where you were drunk & crying rapping about how much you love Dre on your 2nd album?
Dre saved Game and bought out his contract from JT the Bigga Figga Game didnt even have the money to make an album , everybody in the Bay knew Game was broke JT fronted the cash for his first album and owned the rights to his shit Dre and Jimmy bought those right from JT, its not Game its LAME.

Flip flop
Man’s always saying one thing
