The Game has recently sat down with DJ VLAD where the Compton rapper responded to Dr. Umar saying Eminem can’t be one of the greatest rappers of all time because he’s white.
“I don’t agree with Dr. Umar. with him saying that. Eminem is undoubtedly one of the greatest rappers ever for obvious reasons. Again, Michael Jordan probably can’t even f–kin’ dunk from free-throw line today so if we wanna say Eminem’s not great today motherf–kin’ Jordan can’t f–kin’ jump from the free-throw line.” said The Game.
Then he continued: “We all get older but that does not mean we don’t respect or don’t understand the magnitude of what somebody did when they were at their beginning and at their pick. So Eminem is for sure one of the best rappers ever. I don’t give a f–k if he’s white, black or whatever. Dr. Umar seems to be pretty educated and he also has an opinion and a platform. I respect his opinion but I don’t got to f–king agree with it. And I’m not even… I have not seen Eminem in 20 years and we had our little back and forth which is all good. Still it is what it is. I’mma keep it a buck. I’m not gonna lie. Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time. You can take this sound and use it against me but I don’t give a f–k. It is what it is.”
“But Eminem respects me at the end of the day. If you ask him and he’s going to be honest, he gonna tell you that he respects me and my pen game. He knows what I’m capable of and that is what it is. Dr. Umar had an opinion and I don’t disrespect it but I don’t agree.” The Game added. You can watch the new interview after the jump below:
The Game has recently sat down with on VLAD TV where Vlad gone through major rap beefs from this year to all the way back to 1987 and asked Game to rate each one and name the winner. They started with Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion feud, in which, in Game’s opinion, Nicki came out victorious. Then Vlad asked about Eminem and MGK beef.
“You know what? People get mad when you say s–t about Eminem or you talk about Eminem but I gotta give that to Machine Gun Kelly. You know what’s crazy, I feel like old Eminem was just deadly and I feel like this Eminem is just a legendary guy. He’s one of the best rappers in the world, ever. But skill-wise now, the ability to compete right now and compete back then when he had the beef with Machine Gun Kelly I just don’t feel like…You know what I’m saying? He filled the glass.” said The Game.
Then he continued: “I feel like Machine Gun Kelly came out of nowhere with a dope a-s [diss]. With the Killshot s–t and was actually lyrically crazy on that motherf–ker. And Machine Gun Kelly can actually really f–king rap. Aside from what he’s doing outside of rap music and punk rock and doing what he doing that’s his business but as far as like rap, I mean, you got a white kid from Cleveland, the hood, he go for what he go for. Eminem same way from Detroit. Seems like all his hommies are blacks, so we get it. But yeah, on that particular beef, I gotta get out with Machine Gun Kelly.”
“[Eminem was on my first album. I went to Detroit to record it.] I have not seen Eminem since then. Since 2004. Like, twenty years. Dre is from California, he lives down the street but Eminem still lives in Detroit. I don’t know if he has house here. If he goes somewhere, it’s like Super Bowl type s–t. People may not agree what I’m saying about beefs but I’m really a rap veteran and as far as beef I might be at the top of the top. So, when I judge something and say something, it’s not like ‘I don’t know what the f–k I’m talking about.'” The Game added.
Boskoe100, also known as Boskoe1 is a hip-hop artist who hails from Inglewood, California. He became well-known in the music industry after a street feud went viral on the internet. He has recently sat down on VLAD TV where he talked about Eminem dissing Benzino and kind of responded Dr. Umar for saying Eminem can’t be one of the greatest because of his skin color.
“[Dissing Benzino?] It’s kind of whack, though. I ain’t gonna lie. Y’all had beef 20 years ago. Ain’t nobody thinking about that. Then why he didn’t diss The Game? We would have cared more, I would not really cared about him dissing Game either but I would have cared little bit more at least, if it was Game. Benzino? What is Benzino doing? It’s like being a bully at this point. You dissing Benzino, you bulling that man. He don’t even rap. He probably rapped before but he’s not a rapper. Benzino not putting our record. Benzino going viral for asking his kids for money. It’s like kicking a dead dog. But I love Benzino. I f–k with Benzino. I remember the whole The Source period of time. But even of more recent, I f–k with him because he gave us his daughter. I ain’t gonna lie, I love that ni–a daughter. Coi Leray is f–king amazing. I love her. Much respect for just breeding that bro. For breeding and blessing the culture with this beautiful spirit. So I don’t got nothing against Benzino. Never really did. But honestly I feel like Eminem trying to go at him is kind of like big corny.” said Boskoe100.
Then he continued: “[He’s one of the most dangerous emcees] I would never take that away from him. I would argue anybody down that Eminem isn’t one of the top lyricists in the game. I was born in ’82. So, as far as my lifetime, my love for hip-hop and my relationship with hip-hop, Eminem is undeniably in the top 10 for sure. You can’t deny it. Hip-hop was not about race. People always try to take away from his attributes just because he’s white. Hip-hop might have been a black start. It might started in Bronx and black dudes might started it but hip-hop was not based off the race. Hip-hop was always based off of the culture. Hip-hop is a culture. It’s not a racial aspect, it’s a cultural aspect. We do not matter if he’s white or not. If he’s spitting and doing this s–t that you ni–as started, he doing better than you, what’s the problem with that? That’s like saying a black actor can’t be the GOAT. That’s like saying Denzel [Washington] ain’t in the top 10 actors because he’s black. I’m sure that first play probably was not done by a black man but he’s in that white dominated genre or field and he’s one of the top 10 in the game. It goes both ways. Hip-hop was not based off of the race like Hollywood was not based off of race.”
“I’ve been an Eminem fan from day one. I always f–ked with Em. So, I never felt no kind of way about him being white but killing everybody off. It don’t matter who kill you as long as you get killed, right? It does not matter who the shooter is as long as you get shot.” – Boskoe100 added.
During a recent interview with DJ VLAD, The Game says Eminem responded to his “The Black Slim Shady” from his 2022 album, DRILLMATIC – Heart vs. Mind.
“He responded. Game can always get him to respond, man. It must strike cords, man.” said The Game during the interview.
The Compton-born rapper probably refers to Ez Mil’s song called “Realest,” which features Eminem going after his rap foes who questioned his legitimacy in hip-hop. Co-produced by Mil and Em, the song features a fist-thumping lunchroom table beat and a popping snare that allows them to spit a variety of flows on the track.
On “The Black Slim Shady,” The Game raps: “I never heard you in a club, I never heard you in a bar / Eleven albums and ten never got played inside of my car.” In “Realest,” Eminem spits: “All the envious rappers I’d torch if I’m on a joint with ’em/And that is the only retort is I’m not played in the clubs muthaf–ka put a cork in it/Only reason they still play your s–t in the clubs is ’cause you still perform in ’em.”
The Game is probably referring to these lines but the narrative “they don’t play Eminem in the clubs” was a hot topic during that period of time and Em probably responded to everyone and not specifically Game.
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.”
The Game’s beef with Eminem allegedly started after he was left out of Dr. Dre’s Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show on February 13, 2021 at the SoFi stadium. The performance featured some names affiliated with Dr. Dre including Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige and Anderson .Paak. Game expressed his disappointment with the omission by reposting a few Instagram Stories.
During an episode of the I Am Athlete podcast with Brandon Marshall, Pacman Jones, and Nick “ Swaggy P” Young, The Game admits he was “hurt” about being excluded from the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show: “Snoop Dogg is icon. Dre is icon. Em is an icon, but Em is not from L.A. It’s L.A. I am L.A. I’m in the streets … So, yeah, I was hurt.”
In March 2022, The Game appeared on Drink Champs with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. On it, he claimed that Kanye West has done more for his career recently than Dr. Dre ever did. He also proclaimed himself better than Eminem and added he would happily go up against him in a VERZUZ battle to prove it.
After that, Game continued to bite Eminem in several interviews. His constant attack on Eminem culminated with the release of “The Black Slim Shady.” A supposed diss song that pieces together everything he likes and hates about the Detroit legend. But Eminem didn’t respond.
The Game has recently sat down with DJ VLAD for an exclusive interview where he talked about Kendrick Lamar being west coast king, 50 Cent, G-Unit, 2Pac, Jimmy Henchman being his manager, working with Eminem and much more.
“For the song with Eminem on ‘The Documentary’ album, I went to 8 Mile, went to Detroit and I stayed out there afro about a week. And we did the song out there.” said The Game.
Then he continued: “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.

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.” The Game added. You can watch the interview below:
Last month, in collaboration with Audiomack, Eminem announced “The Art of Bars” project and asked upcoming artists to submit their music to get a chance to appear on the playlist, which is curated by Eminem himself: “Speakin of bars… im takin over 4 Audiomack’s art of bars playlist nxt month – hit the link to submit and im adding whoevers got the best bars!” Em wrote on social media.
“We got the GOAT Eminem takin over our Art of Bars playlist next month. Submit your song at the link in our bio – he’ll be picking his favorites to include on the playlist. Tag an artist who needs to be heard.” announced Audiomack on Instagram.

Warren G has recently sat down with NORE and DJ EFN on Drink Champs where he spoke on his come up alongside Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
Warren shares crazy unheard stories about the creation of his smash hit “Regulate” and The Chronic album. He also opens up about beefing with Suge Knight, Witnessing the East Coast vs West Coast rivalry, and narrowly avoiding getting shot on multiple occasions. Throughout the interview, Warren keeps it real about his decades-long career and reflects on the loss of his dear friend Nate Dogg.
At one point of the interview, DJ EFN asked Warren G to choose between Eminem and The Game. Here is what Long Beach, California-born rapper replied:
“Eminem. Eminem is dope. I ain’t saying Game ain’t dope but Eminem is…You gotta look at what motherf–ker wrote. Things just ain’t the same for gangstas. He wrote that for Dre! That’s one of my favorite f–king songs. How the f–k can you write this for this ni–a and the s–t sound like it’s him. And that motherf–ker went diamond plus, diamond plus, diamond plus and all that s–t. He’s talented. I ain’t taking s–t from Game, Game is dope too. But they different. The Game is also student of the game, it’s just Eminem…I promise you that motherf–ker wrote that s–t like he was inside Dre’s body in his head. That s–t was so mothef–king hard.”
You can watch the segment below:
Warren G chooses Eminem over The Game and explains why Eminem is one of the best rappers ever 👀
Ez Mil has recently released the debut single “Realest,” featuring Eminem, through Shady Records and as usual, Slim Shady’s verse is one of the most talked topics on social media.
In the song, Eminem responds people who discredit him by saying that his music is not played in the clubs and The Game is one of them.
“And that is the only retort, is I’m not played in the clubs (What?) / Motherf–ker, put a cork in it / Only reason they still play your s–t in the club (Why?) / Is ’cause you still perform in ’em (Ha-ha).” – Eminem raps.
Em is talking about the claim that The Game made when he wanted to spark “beef” with Eminem. To quote what The Game said on the Matt & Stak’s SHOWTIME Basketball podcast: “When have you ever heard an Eminem song playing in the club?” Eminem reacts to this by implying that the only reasons that The Games music is played in clubs is because he performs in them, by clubs Eminem also means small venues because The Game is still a “small” artist therefore he can’t sell out big stadium arenas like Em.
In his latest post on Instagram, The Game seems to be responding to Eminem. “I still perform in em. @teyanataylor you are a rose & the best lil sis a thug could pray for. One day we’ll tell em the stories from the beginning with no skips. Til then, shine you amazing human. Oh’ & I know it’s Sunday… but get my new pair in the air 1st thing tomorrow.” The Game wrote in the caption while wearing Teyana Taylor Air Jordan 1s, meaning, he will perform in the clubs wearing those shoes.
Fans stormed the comment section with Eminem’s lines. “Ya still perform in them clubs lmao” one user commented. “Performing in clubs but not sold out stadiums worldwide” another replied. “Do you still perform in clubs??” another responded.
Ez Mil has just released his debut single “Realest,” featuring Eminem under Shady Records and it’s already been discussed a lot on social media because of Slim Shady’s one of the sharpest lyrics as the Detroit legend is no stranger to controversy.
Eminem’s response to The Game
“And that is the only retort, is I’m not played in the clubs (What?) / Motherf–ker, put a cork in it / Only reason they still play your s–t in the club (Why?) / Is ’cause you still perform in ’em (Ha-ha).”

Eminem’s response to Lord Jamar
“I am the guest in this house but I turn this b–ch to a mansion (What? Yeah) / That’s an expansion, made it / gargantuan (Huh, what?) / England, Germany, France and Japan’s in this b–ch (Huh, yeah) / Even Dubai, because my music, they do buy (What?).”
A response to Lord Jamar who said in an interview with Dj Vlad that Eminem is just a guest in hip hop. Em follows up “That’s an expansion, made it gargantuan” with a list of countries that a have a notable history of expansion/colonialism. But Eminem is also referring to the fact that he is an international artist with heavy acclaim and influence across the world. Also, pay attention to the homonym (Dubai – do buy).
Eminem’s response to Gen Z
“Gen Z is actin’ like rap experts, zip up your gaps and close your mouths (Yeah) / B–ch, you ain’t been on this planet long enough to tell me how rap’s supposed to sound (Nah) / Y’all need to stick to what you do best (What?), shootin’ schools up, gat’, go load up rounds / In your parents’ gats and go to class and let off with the strap and go to town (Uh-huh).”
In recent years, the new generation called Gen Z have tried to cancel Eminem for his homophobic and misogynistic lyrics many times, especially on TikTok when a user posted a clip that called for Em’s cancellation thanks to a violent lyric in his 2010 Rihanna collaboration ‘Love the Way You Lie’ (“If she ever tries to f–king leave again/ I’ma tie her/ To the bed and set this house on fire“).
The debate is ostensibly pitted Millennials against Gen Z, with the former group of older Eminem fans largely came to the rapper’s defense saying that the younger generation is decades late to being offended by an artist known for controversial statements.
Eminem’s response to Melle Mel
“Shout to the Furious Five and Grandmaster Flash, but, boy (Whaddup, though?) / This someone who really is furious, stay out his path, his wrath, avoid / And I’ll be the last to toy with, this juice-head, his brain is like half destroyed / Like a meteor hit it / Well, there went Melle Mel, we lost his a– to ‘roids (Damn).”
During an interview with The Art Of Dialogue, Melle Mel said: “Obviously, Eminem’s a capable rapper. If we talk about sales and he sold more than everybody, okay, if we talk about rhyme style, okay, he got a rhyme style. But he is white! He is white! If Eminem was just another ni–a like the rest of us, would he be top 5 on that list when a ni–a can rhyme just as good as him is 35?! They had records and all that.”
Physically, Melle Mel is in good shape and goes to a gym a lot. Eminem implies that too much steroids negatively affected to his brain for making such statements.
The Game wishes he had handled a not-so-nice remarks he made about Dr. Dre in a 2022 interview differently, but he still stands by what he said.
The initial comment arrived during an appearance on Drink Champs while discussing Kanye West, who at the time had just teamed up with The Game for his single titled “Eazy” – which netted the latter his highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 song in nearly 15 years. “It’s crazy that Ye did more for me in the last two weeks than Dr. Dre did for me my whole career,” he told N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN.
During a recent interview with Amazon Music, The Game admitted he was a bit drunk when he said that and that he should have been more grateful that Dre did anything for him at all.
“So basically I was hollering at N.O.R.E. and them a little inebriated and I said some things that I meant. I’m not gon’ take it back – I ain’t no sucker. But having Dre do anything for your project, anything in your career, touch any part of anything you’re doing in life is such a blessing that I shall not ever s–t on that again.” said The Game
Then he continued: “And I haven’t talked to Dre since. And it don’t really matter if we talk again in life. Like, I’m a standup Compton, L.A. ni–a and it is what it is. I said what I said, I’m not going back on it. It’s just that I should have actually gave him more grace for what he did do and that was actually mentoring me and doing things that nobody could have done for me in my career.”
“When I was talking on there, I was speaking in terms of what Ye was doing right at that moment which was life-changing for me in that moment last year. And then I based it on Dre’s lack thereof because I took the business part personal and I should have left it business. But Dre is Dre, bro. We all know what Dr. Dre do.” The Game added.
From there The Game talks about his beef with 50 Cent and G-Unit: “What was the center of frustration? I felt like… Dre found Eminem and let him flourish to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Eminem found 50 and brought him to Dre and let that ni–a go ten times platinum and be the greatest ni–a that he could be. When it came to G-Unit, I felt like 50 was trying to suppress us and keep us like soldiers when I was never a soldier. I didn’t put myself in the group. I did not ask to be in a group. I’m thankful for the opportunity. Jimmy Iovine would always say some s–t like ‘Why’d you guys have to go and break up The Beatles, you are the Black Beatles!’ At 24-25 years old I was not thinking about that. I was just thinking I wanted that ni–a to die. Because what he was trying to do to me, we had just did to Murder Inc. So I was like ‘I’m not about to get Ja Rule.’ At that time, we were just young.”
Then he continues: “I hollered at 50 in LA one time in the club. We were on my side and we exchanged few words, nothing violent or anything like that. We both could not figure out where the young us went wrong. 50 is a real d–khead. He get back to New York, a little time passed and for some reason he want to bring me up and say some s–t. You know 50, he’s a troll. At the end of the day, the older 50 and 50 now, he’s like a teddy bear. He cool. We good. Ain’t no drama. I ain’t gonna see 50 and whoop his a– at 40 years old. Ni–a got a star on Hollywood Walk Of Fame. I ain’t gonna blood walk on it or nothing like that. That’s not bad idea [laughs]. But we ain’t trying to go viral for that. We were just young and disconnected. A lot of money involved. A lot of ego and just youth. Biggie and Pac didn’t make out of that. They didn’t get to have another sit down. They both died in that. Me and 50 had shootouts and it could have ended the same way but by the grace of god he’s alive and I’m alive. And we are here today.”
The Game has recently celebrated 18-year anniversary of his debut album The Documentary and gave out some flowers to Dr. Dre, 50 Cent and a few other people who were instrumental in the making of his classic album.
“18 years ago today… A hip hop classic was born. All I wanted to do was tell my story and make sure my son would never live the life I did. Snoop Dogg passed me the torch, Busta Rhymes kept me focused… Dr. Dre laid the foundation and 50 Cent helped put the puzzle together.” – said the Compton rapper.
The The Game continues: “I took Jonathan Mannion to the depths of Compton, California and showed him the heart of what I survived. He captured the essence of my city, my hood and brought to the world my vision. Always remember, it is no longer a dream once it becomes reality.”
