50 Cent Refutes The Game's Attempt to Squash Beef

Tuesday July 25, 2006


Anyone who's familiar with 50 Cent's track record knows by now that his hip-hop rivalries would fill up an entire guest list, with The Game on top of that list. Contactmusic.com reflects on Game's foiled attempt at reconciliation with his erstwhile boss:
The Game recently attempted to end the feud when he announced his engagement to VALEISHA BUTTERFIELD. But 50 CENT - real name CURTIS JACKSON - reignited it with the release of a mixtape featuring The Game dressed as a stripper called Doja on the cover. The move baffled many, because it came months after Game's last attack, and the rift was presumed to be over. But 50 Cent's G-UNIT cohort LLOYD BANKS reveals the CANDY SHOP rapper had bigger priorities to deal with first. He tells MTV, "Well, as far as getting back at Game... he was never a priority. (50) had too many business deals to take care of. But nothing's forgotten."

What's even more interesting is that 50 Cent recently revealed to XXL magazine that The Game is no longer on Aftermath Records. According to Fifty, Game is now on Geffen, which is still a subsidiary of Interscope.

You may be wondering where The Game stands on the beef today? Well, last week, I ran into a song called "One Blood" where the west coast emcee not only name-checks Dr. Dre, but also maintains that he's still tied to the label: "Everybody knows I'm the heir to the Aftermath dynasty." In fact, The Game seems to have put this beef behind him: "I ain't got beef with 50, no beef with Dre..."

You're welcome to join the on-going conversation on this topic in the hip-hop forum.

50 Cent is All Hype! That is what his career is all about. I am completely tired of his publicity stunts to try to garner attention in order to mask over his sub par talent.

I must admit I am starting to agree with you guys. Or in the famous words of Joey Crack: “The gimmick is up man,
the gimmick is up” 50 has pretty much milked the beef cow quite thoroughly if you ask me. Take is easy fif. Go on a vacation to thailand. Get you the hottest, high price hookers you can find, smoke some medicated weed, take about 3 shots of coniac, and enjoy the sunset. Then come back to the states after about 3 weeks. Focused and relaxed. Your killing your own career. If you are paranoid about Karma do to your destroying Ja Rule. Fear not! Ja was a pussy and nobody ever liked him!
We still love you n***a, but your pushing it. Get of the beef sh*t and make some music.

P.S Singing occasionally is okay, but not EVERY hook n***a, come on. 2 cent for 50 cent. ha

Game is a @#$@H! if you ask me. Only reason why he’s famous is cuz he was w/ G unit and what better way to cause attention by goin against him. Plus he’s a stripper. GAme is mad cuz he wants to be a boss and cant handle the backseat.
