The Game (rapper)

Biography

Controversy

Joe Budden

Yukmouth

A video surfaced on the internet in early 2004 that had Yukmouth in a studio with rapper Domination, who happened to be making a G-Unit diss. At the end of the clip, Yukmouth makes comments about Game having a tongue ring. In October 2004, The Game released a diss record directed towards Yukmouth, using the same beat Yukmouth is most famous for, "I Got 5 On It". Yukmouth responded with two diss tracks and a music video for the second diss track, featuring an impersonator of The Game. Both disses claimed the same things Joe Budden had said but also said The Game was slapped by Suge Knight. That rumor was supposedly started by Daz Dillinger. The Game responded on his website, saying that if Suge Knight ever touched him, Knight would be "6 feet under". In February 2005, Yukmouth released a mixtape called "All Out War" with several tracks directed towards The Game. Yukmouth claimed on the mixtape that The Game used to be a male stripper and he has a video of it as proof to be released on United Ghettos Of America 3 DVD. Yukmouth continues to beef with The Game.

Murder, Inc. Records

Apparrently signing rapper Vita to his own label The Black Wall Street Records was the reason why Murder, Inc had a grudge against The Game. Also having G-Unit on the side of The Game made it more likely an association beef not a typical beef like 50 Cent having with the label.

Roc-A-Fella and Jay-Z

Throughout the debut of The Game, he had a beef with Memphis Bleek. The origin of the beef stems from JT the Bigga Figga's old label (Get Low) sounding very similar to Memphis Bleek's label (Dirty Get Low). The Game was on Get Low Records before signing to Aftermath. The Game dissed Memphis Bleek for the name situation on many tracks. Another rivalry is based on a line from The Game's "Westside Story" track where he says "And I don't do button up shirts or drive Maybachs", which Jay-Z took this as a direct insult to him. The result of this is a Jay-Z freestyle that The Game perceived was disrespecting him, with lines like "The Game's through." Memphis Bleek also challenged The Game to a rap battle for $50,000 that night on the same radio station that aired the freestyle.

The Game responded the next day at a concert in Amsterdam where he made several remarks about Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sigel, and Roc-A-Fella Records in an impromptu song. Jay-Z insisted the "Game" references were just about the rap game itself, not the rapper. The Game also fell back when Tim Westwood asked questions about it on a radio station in the U.K. the same day. In his concert in Los Angeles he dissed everyone he had beef with in the past, which included Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella. Jay-Z has not responded to the disses The Game has made at the concerts.

50 Cent and G-Unit

The Game was the fifth member of the rap group G-Unit just a few months ago, until 50 Cent announced on the radio he was booting The Game out. 50 Cent claimed that the rapper was disloyal for not participating in his rap war with Nas, Jadakiss, and Fat Joe and not giving him proper credit for The Game's album debut. 50 Cent claimed that The Game was not only a hard head but almost a risk for the whole G-Unit camp cause it caused beef with Lloyd Banks and 50 Cent. Also rumors that 50 Cent did have a minor altercation such as a pushing match with The Game. Unaware of the situation, The Game had went to confront 50 Cent at the Hot 97 radio station. When they were not allowed entry to the building, the entrouage of both 50 Cent and The Game were involved in a dispute leading to a member getting shot and wounded. The websites stated that 50 Cent's security was The Game is known as The Best in the G-Unit camp by alot of people in Southside Queens. So they were involved in the shooting of one of The Game's entrouage.

The reason for The Game and 50 Cent stemmed from the "lack" of response to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre album in which 50 Cent wanted to have his album in February, not March. Jealousy among the G-Unit members and The Game was also was considered a factor.

The rappers had officially put an end to the beef between one another and donated money to charitable causes. Although they rarely made eye contact, they both agreed that they were not risking their lives over this feud.

Recently The Game was put back on the label G-Unit Records by 50 Cent.
