The Game has been in the industry for roughly 20 years and has learned a few things during that time. On Monday (December 7), the Compton native took to Twitter to respond to artists asking him for career advice by telling them to keep a low profile in a year littered with deaths in the rap community.
“10 rappers shot & killed this year alone & niggas wanna know my advice for up & coming artists,” he wrote to his million followers. “STAY THE FUCK IN THE HOUSE. #Fuck2020.”
He added in a separate tweet, “Niggas gettin killed by iPhone apps these days.”
Pop Smoke, King Von, FBG Duck and Mo3 are among the many rappers under the age of 30 who have lost their lives to gun violence in the last 12 months.
Up-and-coming rappers aren’t the only artists Game is looking out for. On Sunday (December 6), he took to Instagram to send an uplifting message to Teyana Taylor, who’s been considering retirement over frustration with her Def Jam label.

“Live in your glory & never be detoured by the minds of those weakened by this watered-down era of appreciation,” he said. “You know I know 1st hand about being the underdog as the odds have been stacked against me my entire career…. but, we didn’t get where we are by things going exactly the way we thought they would.
“We made it here cause WE believed in our craft when no one else did. I say all of this to say, YOUR GIFT IS SO APPRECIATED & as your big bro I want you to know, you are truly one of the best artist/people inside & outside of music I’ve ever known. NEVER TIP THE CROWN QUEEN… Love.”
10 rappers gunned down. Thousands more in hoods and yall wanna focus on 2 police killings (taylor and floyd) rip to then though.. but get your fuckin priorities straight inhouse b4 u look to change the world. What age does americans finally grow up mentally?
Huh? Police are paid to protect us dummy. Crazy Gun laws, poverty and mass incarceration are to blame.
We know we know its always someone else to blame besides yourselves we get it.. casanova was so deep in poverty(lol at poverty in america) he still committed crimes ???
I know we get it the election was rigged right? You never lost dead people voted etc
You bet it was rigged
Your privilege makes you think you can not lose or be wrong. You kost homie suck it up. Go cry somewhere else this a hip hop site
Go suck it up for five years homie. This a hip hop site. Leave that unearned privilege at the door when you come here
You dumb af for saying crazy gun laws when its easy af to get a gun in the states with most strict gun laws
This is why you know most of these Gen Z rappers aint getting paid shit. They out on the streets killing each other over cuz they all broke. You didnt see Eazy E and Cube or Master P and Birdman shooting each other in the streets. Rappers only do this shit when they got no real investments to protect. They fool everyone on social media with fake ass prop money and rent by the hour Lambos. These dudes is out on the streets getting caught slipping at places regular people shop. Didnt Benny the Butcher get shot in a walmart ?
How about telling these low lives to stop gang banging? Wtf does staying in the house do besides make you broke and dependent on EBT.
Game saying don’t do dumb shit but it came out wrong you know because it’s wrappers and all …
Or… You could also NOT flash prop money and rented cars on social media and NOT portray yourself as a tough guy when you’re not. Just an idea
