RELATED: Why The Game Cleared up Jay-Z Beef after Wack 100 Super Bowl Reveal
Over the last few months, The Game and Hit-Boy have been readying their collaborative Drillmatic album. In that time, most of the industry has gone on record to call it one of Los Angeles legend’s best projects to date. With Kanye West also helping curate the effort, the two gave listeners a teaser of what to expect with their Eazy single.
Unfortunately, a visual never arrived, Chuck Taylor spent most of his time working on the project, which is slated to release sometime in the spring. Now, Game is set to appear on Drink Champs this week, where he’s looking to air out his internal feelings about everything.
That’s right, he’ll be opening on not performing at the Super Bowl, fallout with 50 Cent and getting kicked out of G-Unit. However, we’ve always felt he had some resentment about how he was released from Aftermath, at the peak of the feud with 50 Cent.
Although Dr. Dre didn’t publicly support him, he picked the side of 50 Cent, who was generating the most revenue for him in music. This shocked many, including those seeing Dr. Dre go on to produce tracks for Young Buck and more 50 Cent music.
In the preview, The Game said, “Kanye West did more for me in two weeks, than Dr. Dre has done my entire career.” He’s completely correct in a sense, that Dr Dre hasn’t produced a single for him as the lead artist, since 2005’s The Documentary.
The two would eventually reunite on his The Documentary 2 album, where Dre also helped with mixing and mastering the effort. If you remember us mentioning Dr. Dre picking 50 Cent over The Game, Kanye West was essentially the only top tier artist in music doing business with him.
With The Game burning bridges with both Jay-Z and 50 Cent, Kanye put his career on the line, having him appear on Late Registration. The two would eventually link back up again two years later for the hood classic, “Wouldn’t Get Far,” which still gets played around these parts.
So, out of everyone The Game has ever dealt with in the music industry, Kanye West is the only person that has publicly always had his back. While Dr. Dre helps The Game behind-the-scenes tremendously, Chuck would’ve loved to get that public support during his darkest hours of almost being blackballed from entertainment.
