  • At once an immensely talented artist and an agitator who’s allowed his willingness to engage in seemingly trivial feuds to create more headlines than much of his recent output, The Game has been left with a muddled perception of who he is and in doing so, has become a cautionary tale in terms of how not to age gracefully within the culture.

    Imagine being lucky enough, to link up with 2 hottest acts that ever existed in rap right in the primes(Em,50) and the best producer of all time and somehow letting your ego get in the way instead of making a bank with them.
    He had everything:50,Em,Dre,Timbaland,Scott G unit,how the f did he manage to destroy everything in a year is beyond my understanding

Drake and meek make amends, what do you know, game makes amends. Dr dre makes the compton album using specific artists and producers such as justus (who just vanished into another dimension), anderson paak, the game makes documentary 2 featuring the same artists. Kanye starts wearing masks over his head, game starts wearing masks over his head. The eminem hate is hot right now, game hops on the eminem hate bandwagon and make a 10 minute diss track reiterating the cliche em disses. Corny behavior.

    My father gave me the best definition of The Game.
    He said he’s called the game cuz he’s really good at that. In his head “the game” is rapping. He can rap like ANYONE and you can hear especially on feature tracks it’s almost like he reflects what’s around him at the moment.
    So when you said he has no Sense of self, i really think it rings true.
    His “game” was never his own. It’s was Tupac mixed with 50 cent and what’s popular yesterday.

  • @brodieyake7735

    The Game didn't get the call for the Superbowl because he literally admitted that he says what he wants regardless of if it's inconsistent with things he'd said prior. Meaning that he can't be taken at his word, and he can't be trusted. This is the exact kind of approach to business that burnt his bridge with 50 Cent, Dre, Shady Aftermath, and G Unit all those years ago. Never mind that when Eminem was invited to perform on the Super Bowl, he said that he wouldn't do it without 50, and the beef that Game started with 50 Cent literally lead to The Game's manager Jimmy Henchman murdering Lodi Mack, an affiliate of G Unit. People close to 50 Cent literally died because of Game's unpredictable behavior, so no wonder he wasn't invited.

    That fact he starts beef for no reason, says a couple disrespectful lines, gets confronted outside and he ain't about that life atm. Gets home to the comfort of his home and writes a new diss for his upcoming album or mixtape. That pretty sums the Game.
    I'm starting to believe what 50 said about the Game being bi polar is true, and he is always switching sides when it can be convenient for him. There's nothing worse than a spotlight diva.
    He's a really good mc, and would easy make top 50 rappers if he didn't do half the stupid antics he does. Name dropping, having his features outshine on his albums, clout chase, and lying so much in his interviews, that it completely changes the story.
    Then there's his associations, first it was Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, then he was using Lil Wayne, then back again with og Dr. Dre, then he was friends with Drake and name dropping him everywhere. Then it was Kanye West, Dr Dre did nothing for me in my career, Kanye did more for me.
    This doesn't include his Instagram antics either, those are ridiculously photoshop pics, awkward interactions with bots pretending to be his biggest fans, etc. There's a lot more that I wouldn't have the time to write everything down.
    The last album he put out the Documentary 2 which was nearly a decade ago, he hasn't done anything remotely noteworthy since then.

    Bottom line I think game needs to understand that as long as you provide dope music you don’t have to do these kind of things for shock value or to have your name in the media. At the same time he’s past his prime. You’re only going to be that red hot artist one time. Just continue gracefully with your career.

      Then Top Dawg was on the rise and they signed Kendrick and Jay Rock. Then they signed ScHoolboy Q and Ab-Soul to support them and their roster, thus forming Black Hippy

    It's funny to see how Game has an overall better discography and more features/shoutouts than 50 in the last decade + and yet 50 has more respect in the community. 50 came from a similar camp but he carries himself like a mogul who has grown from his rapping days, and game does the polar opposite.

    In my opinion The Game kept West Coast hip hop relevant during the mid to late 2000's, amidst the rise of the South and the East Coast with 50.
    But then, when he started to get out of his prime, he tried to be the OG to these young rappers and everybody realized he ain't a good teacher or leader to the later generations.
    Now he releases great throwbacks and it feels like he never "got out of the hood mentality", so to speak. But he acts a lot more than he is, so I guess it's all good. I like The Game, a lot

    Listen, I wasn’t gonna watch this video because I don’t think there is a bigger GAME fan than I and I thought this would be another video unfairly criticizing and disrespecting Game. And I gotta admit I’m bias when it comes to him. He IS arguably THE MOST underrated MC of all time when it comes to bars, depth and lyrically homicide. If you don’t listen to him, you won’t understand. But I must admit as a lifelong fan of The Game, this video is journalistically accurate with the depiction of him, his career and ways. It hurts me to admit it, but I have said for years that The average fan will never recognize his Phenomenal rapping and music making talent because of EVERYTHING else that comes along with it that often over shadow. Game is my 2nd favorite MC of all time behind Nas and when I talk about my top five list, he is the ONLY one I have to give an explanation why for. Lol. 🤷🏽
    I kinda feel like Game is the Russell Westbrook of rap. Most people view him as a knucklehead that don’t want him around but he’ll be appreciated years later after he’s retired or gone.

    Honestly I’ve grown tired of Curtis and Jayceons attitudes. They both made their careers out of beefing. What else can I say about the homie Game, what can I say about him?? Dude revived the west coast rap scene back in 2005 with the documentary, he knows his Hip-Hop and respected everyone that came before him. He's damn near a NaS apprentice with his east coast type flow, which is also versatile. If anything he's a very resilient rapper, and works real good under pressure. He was kicked out of g-unit, and rebounded by, making one of the longest greatest diss tracks of all time, aimed at his former crew, referring to them as G-Unot. I can't lie Game handled and dismantled the whole g-unit crew. All them cats was flopping left and right after he released 300 bars and running, and "stop snitching stop lying". The only person that he didn't do much damage to was 50, because 50 had money, Eminem, and inter scopes Jimmy Ivine backing him. At any rate 17 years ago Game released his sophomore album "doctas advocate" (which is still to me his best album to date) and he proved he can still make good music without Dre, and 50. Game is fairly under rated, the fact that he took on the most popular crew at the time, and won is an astonishing and impressive feat, but like I said the dude works real good under pressure. Lately though him and Fif are annoying af.

    Game gets no respect because he is consistently biting the hand that feeds. 50 wrote every big hit Game performed on his classic album, nobody remembers any of his other albums and all the other tracks are footnotes mostly. So once Game got what he wanted out of the deal he turns and starts beef for no reason other than pure jealousy. He runs his mouth on things he shouldn't even speak on in ways he shouldn't. The difference between him and 50 is easy to see. If 50 is asked an opinion about someone, even about Game, he answers more often than not in a respectful way...except Jah Rule but even then he laughs and pokes fun rather than taking hard shots for no reason. Game is a child in a mans body. That first album is certified no doubt but as a person....

      ​@@willtalks9300 he on my top 20. He used to be my #1 favorite around 2013 but that was when I was young and didn't know much all about hip hop. Power trip, crooked smile, she knows, were all I knew and loved and I've checked more of his songs and enjoyed them.

    Game one of my favorite rappers. His sound really drives him, and the stories he tells backs it up. Sucks he gots a lot of weird demons.
