The Game continues to insist that he is a better rapper than Eminem. The controversy was first introduced when the Los Angeles rapper sat down with NORE and DJ EFN on Drink Champs and spoke about not being afraid of going up against the Detroit icon in an Verzuz or real battles.

“Eminem, Eminem is Eminem. I like Eminem, he’s one of the f**king good emcees, great emcees. I used to think Eminem was better than me. He not. He not. He’s not. Ay, challenge it. It’s not drama! I’m not saying I want smoke with Eminem, I’m saying I want smoke with Eminem, him, and him, whoever.”

After several music fans attempted to shut The Game down with messages about Eminem having the most certified Platinum and Gold singles in history, Game responded that he is unwavering. In the series of tweets, he says:

“All this talk I see on the net saying Eminem is better than me because he sold more records is like saying McDonald’s is better than Tam’s burgers, it’s FALSE !!! They just put more money in McDonald’s and promoted the s**t out the happy meal dangling toys in kids faces.”

“Translation for those of you who don’t know how major record companies do business: it’s a machine designed to work for the artists who PLAY NICE in massa’s house. I was TOO REAL, TOO UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK & cut the puppet strings early on in my career n decided to rebel.”

“Major labels are known for BUYING ALBUMS & paying off everyone to boost sales of the artists THEY CHOOSE to shine the light on. If you ain’t dancin’ to massa’s tune, you lose your budget & the machine is taken off your project and put to work on another artist who’s willing to SD.”

“A lot of y’all have no idea what goes on behind the doors of these labels. I’ve been front & center and have kept quiet about a lot of sh*t mainly because I didn’t care about it enough to take time out of my life to open this can of worms.”

To successfully become a 🐐 approved by both fans & the industry (rap peers, execs etc) you have to do exactly what they want you to do. Eazy, spoke out about it… he died. 2pac was vocal about everything, he died. Nipsey empowered the community, championed independence, he died.

They only want you to believe in yourself to a certain extent. Soon as you start telling yourself you’re better than their CHOSEN ONE or challenge the machine, they start feeding the internet STATS like I give a f**k how many records the next man sold.
