The Game reveals real reason why he started beef with Eminem

The Game has never been shy about throwing shots at other rappers, but the Compton-born rapper has admitted that his recent disses of Eminem had a hidden motive.

In a new interview with DJ Vlad, The Game said that he went at Eminem on the song “The Black Slim Shady” from his Drillmatic – Heart vs. Mind album because he was mad at Dr. Dre for not inviting him at the 2022 Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show which featured Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige and Anderson .Paak.

“Throwing shots at Eminem and beefing with Eminem, it was just me being upset with Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre can’t out-rap me, so I just went at Em, just because that’s just how I get sometimes.’ The Game said.

Then he continued: “But it’s always competitive. It ain’t like I’m gonna see Em and be like, ‘What’s up now?!’ It’s Em, you know what I’m saying? And Em took his shots on a record that dropped, and yo, Em is a funny guy.”

In the same interview, The Game spoke about working with Eminem on a song “We Ain’t” from his 2005 album, The Documentary: “Watching Eminem record, and his whole recoding process, that might have been one of the highlights of my career because I don’t know if you want to call it weird, legendary or some Einstein type of s–t, evil genius type of s–t, but Em is very very complex and different individual in good ways. When he writes raps, he turns the paper around and he just writes in circles and then he turns it, when he reads it, he turns it back opposite way and starts to read it. That was when we were using papers for recording process, I don’t know his recording process these days. Back in those days, Eminem would just eat Taco Bell and drink Mountain Dew like it was like, I don’t know man, like Snoop with smoking weed. That process was dope. I’m forever grateful for being able to experience prime Eminem in his essence in Detroit, that’s one of the highlights of my career.”
