The Game has offered up some bold opinions regarding the best rappers to have come from the West Coast.
Unveiling his list of the 100 greatest Wesr Coast rappers, the Compton native made some controversial choices.
The most notable of which was putting Kendrick Lamar at number four, below 2Pac, Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube.
Game then placed himself at number five.
Rounding out his top 10 were Kurupt, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E and Xzibit.
Some of the more interesting calls on the list were placing Tyler, The Creator at 14, will.i.am above the likes of Jay Rock, Ab-Soul and W.C. and rating Kid Ink as a better MC than the likes of Earl Sweatshirt and Glasses Malone.
As of late, The Game has been embroiled in a number of controversies after being forced to sell his Calabasas mansion by the courts to fund a $7 million judgement against him.
The Compton rapper was accused by a woman named Priscilla Rainey of sexual assault during the production of his dating show She’s Got Game.
Game refused to appear in court regarding the suit and in 2016 a default judgement was issued against him with the rapper ordered to pay Rainey a little over $7 million.
Rainey had previously requested that the court sell The Game’s mansion to cover the debt as the rapper has refused to pay the sum awarded by the court.
The Game had attempted to avoid the ruling by claiming that he house is actually owned by JTT Holdings, which he also has equity in.
However, the court ruled that JTT Holdings was a shell company and that it can be forcibly sold.
The mansion is currently on the market for $4 million, a figure still significantly short of the $7 million judgement.
Game has also fallen out with Kanye West despite previously standing by his controversial contemporary through thick and thin.
West believed that Game had betrayed him by hanging out with Toronto rapper Top5 who had previously threatened to kill the “Stronger” star.
The Game quickly hit back, writing on Instagram: “Fuck you and yo Maybachs little [ninja emoji]. I’ll be back in LA in a week, come and get em yo self!!! I ain’t never asked yo weird a%% for nothing & when you gave me the cars, I said you ain’t have to & I was good but you insisted.”
Everyone entitled to their opinion. Stop with the unnecessary outrage.
Game is till riding his own dick after The Documentary and thinks he kept his legacy going with The Flopumentary 2 ( which went triple 🪵)At this point, BlueFace is doing better than him and he’s in jail right now.
He’s jealous of Kendrick Lamar and mad he couldn’t perform any his 50 cent duets at the Super Bowl. Its been 3 years groupie, get over it!
Yep he’s still butt hurt over it. Snoop sucks now, when he first came out he was good but he’s garbage now. I’d put Kurupt over Snoop any day. Besides Game is homeless now and super broke since the courts awarded Priscilla Rainey with his house and his record label since he refused to pay her the 7 million.
There is nothing controversial about putting Pac, Snoop, and Cube before Kendrick Lamar cuz they pioneered the real west coast sound, gangsta rap. Now all of a sudden people expect the entire west coast roster to offer new york style lyrics and punchlines cuz of one guy ? Naw, that aint it. Kendrick is dope, but his entire career is built on destroying Drake which was a great accolade, but shouldnt change traditional west coast style, keep it G-funk, keep it gangsta, dont go lyrical.
Dont u dare compare g@y kenny to a New York rapper.
The Ga(y)me wrong for this one. He knows damn well Snoop can’t rap worth shit. He just doing anything to attack Kendrick. What a loser.
Hey Loser, where is he attacking Kendrick? You read the title of the article and just ran with it, huh? How can he be attacking him when he put his own self behind Kendrick? Yall beyond sickening at this point.
Maybe Game can ask Top5 to spot him 3 million for the rest of the money he owes that chick….oh wait he’s broke too.
Nothing controversial about that. Snoop is played out now, but his greatest shit is better than Kendrick’s whole catalogue.
Nah. Doggystyle was a great album. One of the best debut albums in history. But that was over 30 years ago. Snoop has some hits on Dre’s albums too. But after Doggystyle, Snoop doesn’t have any classic albums. K dot’s discography is way better than Snoop’s.
Doggystyle is a good album but it’s not up there with GKMC. GKMC has no skips. Dot then followed up with TPAB which is elite. Game is jealous and really believe he is on or near Dot’s level. Hes not!
That’s the point. It was over 30 years ago, and it still knocks. You’re living in the 2025 world of what Snoop, Pac, and dudes like that built where hip hop is even seen like that. Kendrick Lamar would have been an obscure LA rapper with two albums if he came out in the 90s. Nothing remarkable about shit he’s ever put out. Like name the anthem he dropped that people will be playing 30 years from now, and if you say that wakck ass diss song, I know you’re trolling. Meanwhile, that by far is his biggest hit. Nobody going to be playing that shit in 2055. More eyes on hip hop 30 years later and thus more mainstream accolades doesn’t make it better.
GKMC is not a classic album. This is the shit I’m talking about. Complex and Blender said it’s an A album, so it’s a classic? It was a good album for its time. Nobody playing shit off GKMC regularly anywhere in 2025. Meanwhile, I will hear Gin and Juice somewhere this week. I will hear a Pac song somewhere this week. I will hear a Cube song off Death Certificate somewhere this week. It’s like 90s R&B versus 70s soul. R. Kelly was dope for his time, but he ain’t fucking with Marvin Gaye or Teddy Pendergrass.
The Lame should worry more about losing his house over sexually assaulting females and less about his delusional rap takes
Game is a top 5 GOAT that nobody appreciates but his first two albums are certified classics
51 at best
All I’ll say is that Snoop’s voice doesn’t make my ears bleed.
I agree with GAME, but DJ quik would be top five.
The Game is bitter! His brother don’t rock with him. Dre don’t rock with him. His house is for sell by force to pay a thot whom he allegedly sexually assaulted, and Em ignored his wack azz diss record. Put the white sheet on blood and let’s move on with our lives. RIP the old homie!
Game a bipolar mofo, but he can spit his ass off and is a better pure rapper than Kendrick. They both suffer from not making compelling music if I’m keeping it a buck. However, Game a monster on that mike. On the West, probably only Ras Kass is in his company spitting wise.
Jesus christ what a bullshit clickbait piece of garbage this article is
But here you are replying on said clickbait.
Let that man have his own opinion. And Snoop is not even the only person he put over him, but its the best name for clickbait. And if people REALLY know rap then they know Snoop also has Blue Carpet Treatment, Last Meal, Top Dogg, and Rythm & Gangsta as great albums. Chronic is pretty much his too
Snoop has 1 great album. He has a lot of great singles, but still only 1 great album.
Both are better than Game.
Name 4 Snoop albums. He’s a magnetic personality, but he’s kind of a lazy artist.
Name 4 Snoop albums. He’s a magnetic personality, but he’s kind of a lazy artist. The inconsistency is real.
The title of the article is controversial in the first place. Game has his own views. We have to respect that. Just like when Snoop said Em is not in his top five or even top ten. Again it was his opinion and his personal list. At least Game acknowledges K.Dot is number four and he number five. That’s humility. I can’t wait to see unity. WestSide for real!
Kendrick Lamar is wack & g@y. Lets start there. As for snoop, he is the most famous rapper of all time but he is most definitely wack. Known for lyrical masterpiece lines like “I wanna get you real hot and take you to my cot”. Iconic yes, lyrical? Absolutely not.

Most west coast rappers…prob 95% of em are not lyrical what so ever. Kendrick is no diff hes just g@y so hes popular during this time frame.
I mean, as an Mc, Kendrick over Snoop. As an artist? Snoop over Kendrick. Doggystyle alone is better than anything Kendricks ever done. Snoop has a LONG run of decent music. Like 10 years straight of decent. In my opinion, after his debut album, he had another 2 to 3 years of good music, then got annoying. After TPAB, I haven’t liked anything I’ve heard, as his sound got away from the “old-school newschool Westcoast” to fitting in with Lil yachts types. I wouldn’t put Kendrick into top 50 rappers probably, though between 2009 and 2012 I would’ve said he had potential to be in the top 10. Lastly, top rappers doesn’t equate to top MCs. Plenty of amazing MCs can’t make good music, but are talented in other ways.
neither snoop dogg, kendrick or the game are in the top 50
