The Game believes he never got the right acknowledgment from the rap industry because he wasn’t a “puppet” for money.
On Sunday night (Oct. 24), the Born 2 Rap emcee took to Twitter to get a few things off his chest regarding his hip hop career. “I never got my flowers from the industry cause wouldn’t be a puppet for the dollar bill #ThugLife,” he tweeted. “You know how many of your favorite WEST COAST artists I hand a hand in puttin on??? Just being a good nigga…. Was offered finders fees, could’ve signed niggas….. etc, I just wanted to see niggas from my side win.”
Game added, “Ask Dr. Dre…. Ask Top Dawg, ask niggas… I been solid for niggas since 2003 in this shit. The definition of ‘GOOD LOOKIN.’”
As REVOLT previously reported, earlier this year, the “Hate It Or Love It” spitter said that he was the best rapper to come out of Compton — even beating out Kendrick Lamar. Game made the declaration during a Clubhouse conversation with West Coast rappers Kxng Crooked and Glasses Malone. “Can’t nobody in Compton out rap Game, nigga. Can’t nobody in Compton out rap me,” he stated. “Kendrick my nigga. Kendrick doing his shit. I love that nigga to death. Nigga, I flew past Kendrick when that nigga was on foot, nigga, in a Range Rover and showed him how to do this shit.”
He continued, “Don’t play. Don’t play with Game name. Compton, nigga. Hardest nigga in Compton — rapping, lyricist, me. Any nigga that say any different, I’ll body him and any nigga he fuck with.” The “How We Do” MC also said that he considered Lamar, MC Ren and DJ Quik to be the top three rappers from his hometown, aside from himself.
