Though The Game is a new artist, he has already made some hip hop rivals: among them Suge Knight and Death Row Records, Memphis Bleek and Young Gunz of Roc-A-Fella Records, Yukmouth, Joe Budden, and even mentor 50 Cent.
BENZINO
Benzino and The Source recently attacked The Game over his comments from his album The Documentary. The Game stated on "Don't Need Your Love", his displeasure of The Source. Also The Game recorded a scathing freestyle rap with Malice, a white rapper from Compton to respond towards the situation between Benzino and Eminem. Benzino responded on the song "Check Mate". Benzino has had a long standing feud with Eminem and has disrespected several artists on Interscope Records, which Eminem is a part of, in the past. An affiliate of The Game was interviewed for The Source. The cover story will explain what happened between The Game and 50 Cent after the incident at Hot 97.Also it is alleged that 50 was being made a sex slave by Jeffery Atkins known as Ja Rule,when 50 was aasked to answer that,he declined and say it is not a press's business.
50 CENT & G-UNIT
The Game was originally a member of G-Unit. After his album, The Documentary was released, 50 Cent announced on the radio he was releasing The Game from label. 50 Cent claimed that the rapper was disloyal for not participating in his rap feud 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 group because it caused strained relations with Lloyd Banks and 50 Cent. He felt that his album was being neglected for The Game and his jealousy was fueled by their constant arguing while on tour together. Also there were rumors that 50 Cent had a pushing match with The Game. After hearing of the interview in which 50 Cent was kicking Game out of G-Unit, The Game had gone to confront 50 Cent at the Hot 97 radio station since 50 had not previously talked to Game about his dismissal from the group. When they were not allowed entry to the building, the entourage of both 50 Cent and The Game were involved in a dispute leading to a member of Game's entourage getting shot and wounded. 50 Cent ended his interview while on air as he was rushed out of the building. It was widely speculated that 50 Cent created the incident to create more record sales as at the time he started a feud with several different rappers.
The rappers had officially put an end to the disagreement 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. Within a few weeks, 50 Cent and G-Unit were dissing The Game once again. In the XXL Magazine, 50 Cent was still dissing The Game, and claimed that without his support on the next album, The Game will not see multi-platinum sales. He also went on to say that Game is not a gangsta and he only says he has an AK47 to make people think he is a gangsta. Tony Yayo was on Power 105 in New York re-igniting the feud between G-Unit and The Game. Yayo was commenting about the street credibility about The Game and talking about his Change Of Heart appearance. 50 Cent filed a lawsuit against Jimmy Henchmen, the manager of The Game. The rapper sued Henchmen over the filming of the DVD the original "50 Cent" in Infamous Times. The movie chronicles the life of Kelvin "50 Cents" Martin and the rapper authorized footage for the DVD. Henchmen dismissed the lawsuit, stating that 50 Cent's jealousy of The Game was the reason for him suing him.
At New York radio station Hot 97's Summer Jam concert at Giant's Stadium in New Jersey on June 5th 2005, The Game's performance confirmed that his feud with G-Unit has not been squashed. During his performance The Game slandered G-Unit several times, at one point yelling out "G-Unot". The insults culminated in the appearance of a mascot dressed up as a rat sporting a G-Unit tank top on stage. The rat represented 50 Cent, who has been accused of snitching and placing others in jail by other rappers such as Fat Joe and Jadakiss. The mascot was then beaten down by members of The Black Wall Street. During the set, The Game challenged his former G-Unit members, and capped this off by tossing his G-Unit chain into the crowd. The outlashing at G-Unit received a very mixed crowd response.
He recently released "300 Bars and Runnin'", a 15 minute diss at G-Unit attacking every single member of his former crew except for fellow West-coast rapper Spider-Loc. 50 Cent has mixed feelings about the diss, nevertheless he responded with his video "Piggybank" in which he depicts The Game as Mr. Potato Head. Tony Yayo has briefly mentioned 300 Bars and that he hasn't listened to it because it is "too long".
JAY-Z & ROC-A-FELLA RECORDS
Throughout the debut of The Game, he had a rivalry with Memphis Bleek. The origin of the competition emanates 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 bashed 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. Game stated several times that the diss is in reference to Ja Rule and that he respects Jay-Z. Jay-Z later performed a freestyle on the radio called "Dear Summer" where he frequently mentions the word game in his rhymes leading Game to believe he was taking shots at him.
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 retreated 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 attacked everyone he had problems with in the past, which included Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella. Soon after he returned home however, he and Jay-Z made amends and are no longer rivals. Game has continued in dissing Memphis Bleek however, even including Roc members, the Young Gunz in his verbal assaults. Both have responded on freestyles to which Game and BWS member Cyssero have done a freestyle dissing Young Gunz called "Feel it in the Air".
JOE BUDDEN
Although Joe Budden didn't really have a dispute with The Game, his disagreement with G-Unit was started through 50 Cent's comments of Joe Budden's debut album. He criticized Budden's album for "lacking street credibility". Joe Budden took offense and released various insults directed at G-Unit. In early 2004, a track on a mixtape had Budden attacking G-Unit on the same track that The Game was featured on. During 2004, The Game had exchanged several disrespectful records with Joe Budden his most famous being the song "Buddens". The Game made many death threats towards Joe Budden even going so far as to flying to New York to attempt to find him. Joe Budden was the first to bring to light an incident in Game's early years where he appeared on the dating game show "Change of Heart" and had a tongue ring. The Game admitted to both allegations on his Web site, but defended himself by saying that he was young and needed the money. They mutually decided to stop making hostile records towards each other at a party in New York, however Game has continued to reference his self-proclaimed victory in songs and interviews.
SUGE KNIGHT & DEATH ROW RECORDS
Dr. Dre's old nemesis Suge Knight is feuding with The Game. After the 2005 BET Awards, associates of Death Row were apparently uninvited to a party hosted by R&B singer Ciara. An altercation was impeded by a member of Death Row trying to attack and steal The Game's chain. Suge Knight has been having an ongoing feud with Dr. Dre and many of his artists despite the west coast peace treaty that was brokered. Game made a public statement on his BlackWallStreet website forums expressing his extreme dislike of Suge Knight because of "the lives he has endangered".
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 disrespectful song aimed at G-Unit. At the end of the clip, Yukmouth makes comments about Game having a tongue ring. In October 2004, The Game released a record directed towards Yukmouth, "I Got A Million On It", using the same beat Yukmouth is most famous for, The Luniz track "I Got 5 On It". Yukmouth responded with two tracks and a music video for the second track, featuring an impersonator of The Game. Both songs 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. The two squashed their beef after the West Coast Peace Treaty and even recorded a song together prior to that.
