The Game says he’s already preparing to battle 50 Cent on Verzuz

We might witness the greatest Verzuz battle so far as The Game is down to battle 50 Cent.

In a new interview on Power 106’s “L.A. Leakers,” The Game said he was inspired after watching Gucci Mane and Jeezy squash their beef during their Verzuz battle about a month ago.

“That moment let me know that me and 50 is a possibility. That იs what gave us hope. And I აm pretty sure 50 watched that like, ‘Yeah, it is possible.’”

“Me and 50 been in the room twice since we both shot at each other. Both times we had interactions, we tried to figure out where it went wrong but we were in a club twice and that was not a conversation that you could have in depth in that circumstance.”

“Verzuz is something that I’m entertaining, but just so you know, as soon as I saw 50’s interview, I went to my notes and I wrote down 25 records that I feel that I can run up. I made a list of 25 that I can handle some s**t with.”

BREAKING: 50 Cent is down for Verzuz Battle VS The Game

The Game also praised 50 Cent’s catalog: “There is enough on those first two albums for him to be able to do a Verzuz and have an amazing outcome with anybody in the game because those first two albums were so monumental. “Get Rich or Die Tryin’, you could literally play that from start to end and that could be his Verzuz.”

The Compton rapper also talked about himself: “It is only one artist alive that has more number one hip-hop albums than me and that is Drake. I made my rounds. It is an impeccable career inside of music, outside of music.”

“As far as Verzuz is concerned, that is the only person I would entertain doing a Verzuz with because it just makes the most sense and nobody else can really go with me. I am not sure that we gon’ do it, but if we do, I’m definitely down to sit in a room with him and have some Le Chemin Du Roi.”

Few weeks ago, 50 Cent said he’s down for Verzuz battle against The Game so we might see some legendary s**t for the culture. Watch the interview below:

Legendary Ice T says the last real gangsta rapper was 50 Cent

Back in 2009, in one of his interviews, legendary rapper Ice-T said: “I opened the door for Gangsta rap and 50 Cent closed it.” It does not look as if he has changed his mind after 11 years because in an interview with Unique Access Ent, Ice said almost the same thing.

“To me, the last gangster rapper was 50 Cent, because to me, he embodied that image. You know, that ‘I don’t give a f**k. 50 Cent had you really believe you did not wanna f**k with him. I heard 50 Cent when he was beefing with Fat Joe and he was like, ‘Fat Joe, I am right down the street. It is real hard to find a ni**a when you know he got a gun, ain’t it. I was like, ‘Okay!’ [laughs].”

“I think now, the new trap rappers, you know, they convince me they can get high, they convinced me maybe that they can sell a little drugs, but they do not scare me. I think if you a Gangsta rapper, you scare me a little bit. I do not think there is no new people that do it.”

“Well you got Kendrick who keeps a nice little hood edge on his s**t. You know he is from Compton, you know he is from the hood. And when I say 50 Cent, I also put The Game in that conversation because Game is apart of G-Unit, but once that movement happened, I do not know. They do the Drill rap out of Chicago and stuff like that, youngsters and stuff, but I do not know. That is just from me.”

“YG is cool but that’s not it. We scared the world so quickly, but then when Eminem did it they were like, ‘Okay,'” Now, people are kind of conditioned. It’s not like when Ice Cube came out and said, ‘Crazy motherf*cker named—,’ what the f**k?! Who are these motherf*ckers, like yo! Now, everybody is like, ‘Okay. Cool. you are gonna Crip walk and dance and s**t.’ It’s not as threatening now.” says the rap icon, Ice T.

50 Cent – “Part Of The Game” ft. NLE Choppa & Rileyy Lanez

50 Cent teams up with NLE Choppa and Riley Lanezz for the “Raising Kanan” theme song, titled “Part Of The Game.”

Fiddy previously previewed the song on his social media accounts which is the official theme music for Power spin-off series Raising KANAN. 50 Cent is back on his hustler s**t while he trades verses with NEL Choppa over some soulful East Coast production, while 19 years old RnB singer Rileyy Lanez singing over the beat.

Even though there has not been an exact date announced for Raising KANAN, 50 Cent is gearing up for the mid-season debut of Power Book II: Ghost this Friday, December 6th, 2020.

You can listen to the new song via 50 Cent’s Instagram below:

The Game raps about 50 Cent on his new single with Lil Wayne

The Game drops brand new single called “A.I. With The Braids” featuring Lil Wayne. This track was supposed to be for The Game’s 2019 album titled “Born 2 Rap” which celebrates 1 year anniversary tomorrow.

The song was produced by Mike Zombie and it samples The Notorious B.I.G.’s two songs: “Dead Wrong” and “Get Money“. Because the track was surfaced online last year, it didn’t make in to the album but now it is officially released.

In a song, The Game raps: “Stop it, the Tommy got more power than Kanan. They wanna know what I whispered in 50’s ear “G-Unit, motherf**ker, the real Ghost is here.”

Now lets decode the lyrics. With this lines, Game addresses his bond with 50 Cent while name-dropping 3 of Power TV shows’ main characters: James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) and Kanan Stark (50 Cent). TV series which is executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and airs on Starz network.

In the TV series, the story is developed behind the life of a character Ghost who runs the drugs traffic in New York city with the help of his right hand character Tommy. Both Tommy and Ghost grew up with Kanan who is considered their mentor.

The Game cleverly references Tommy and Kanan to claim that even though he was considered 50 Cent’s protegee, he has much more power and influence than his mentor by comparing himself to Ghost.

Back in 2005, The Game was expelled from G-Unit group and started a 13 year long beef with 50 Cent which led to countless diss tracks and actual shootouts in the streets. But in 2018 they finally squashed they’re feud at 50 Cent’s party where The Game was caught talking to Fifty’s ear.
