<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (DWade3 @ Oct 1 2006, 11:50 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'> So he sold 5 million because of that? Make up your mind. Did he sell because of beef?(which came months after the album dropped) Or because of promotion from your label? (which every artist is entitled to)Dr. Dre and 50 Cent helped of course they did, I'm not denying that but you make it seem as if he is garbage and that's the only reason he sold records. You don't sell 5 million because of the group of people around you. Yeah if it wasn't for Dre and 50 game might not be known, but if it wasn't for Eminem and Dre neither would 50. And if it wasn't for Dre Eminem wouldn't be what he is. It's all like a chain very few artists make it on their own so don't say he sold because of the help because even Tupac which is arguably the best ever had tons of help. (mainly from digital underground)</div>god lol you're dumbI said he sold because of Dr. Dre and 50 Cent...he stayed relevent because he dissed 50 cent and g-unit for monthsjust shut the hell upyou're wrong
A large part of Game's record sales did come to the fact 50 was on it. Like playa said, two of the biggest single in Hate it or Love it and How We Do included 50 on the track. 50 was doing real good at that time which helped promote Game alot. I'm not saying the beef was what sold records, thats nonsense, just the simple fact 50, Dre and others were.Game being amazing lyrically :HAHAHA: :HAHAHA: what a good laugh.

I believe The Game is a very good lyricist, but dissing one group your entire career and relying on them can only get you so far. However, I still respect him more than anyone on G-Unit, so whatever. He's not one of my top 10 favorite lyricists, but he is a close contender.

Freestyles are done right off the top. Game obviously wrote that sh*t down because he did voice overs afterward and all, which wouldn't have been so bad if people didn't claim the song was a freestyle. Freestyles don't have voice overs... AT ALL!

I agreed to what you said about a lot of his hype and sales coming from help from 50 and Dre..But my point is that you can't blame record sales on that everyone gets fuckingg hype and help it just comes with the career. And no, I won't shut the hell up I'll state my opinion all f*cking day if I feel like it.
Let me just clear somethings up that I just managed to skim over in the past minute or so in this thread...All those singles with 50 Cent on them that came off of The Documentary, guess what? They were SUPPOSED to be on The Massacre, but 50 GAVE them to Game.Actually, neither 50 Cent nor Dre MADE Game... DJ Whoo Kid did (50's DJ). He ran into Game on the West Coast, brought him to 50, put him on a few G-Unit albums (Beg For Mercy, Hunger For More, Straight Outta Cashville for example), and that's how Game started to blow up. 50 always wanted Game to come on tour with them so he could get comfortable and know what's going on and sh*t, but Game always made up BS excuses not to go, so 50 felt like he wanted the glory but didn't want to put in the effort that other artists do (promotions, touring cities, etc.). Then Game started doing sh*t behind 50's back, and the "success" from The Documentary went to his head.And yes, The Documentary sold 5 million records moreso because of 50 Cent and Dr. Dre rather than Game himself. Without those two guys, and Whoo Kid, Game would have had no buzz.His new album will be good, and I can't wait for it, but it won't be better than the Documentary (it might sell more, but quality-wise I don't think it will be better).And Ras Kass is definitely 1,000x better than Game lyrically.

However, I didn't mean he's like #12 or something. I mean, if he continues dropping good sh*t, like he does on some underground sh*t like "I'm A King" with T.I, I think he'll eventually become a top emcee. I won't consider him one of the greatest of all time, though. Nope... :thumbdn1:Some of the best lyricists are:Immortal TechniqueDiabolicPapoose (underground-version; not mainstream)Mos DefTalib KweliCommonJay-ZNasBig Daddy KaneKRS-OneSlim Shady (not Eminem.. Eminem sucks; Slim persona is better)etc. etc.A couple more I could name, but too lazy to do so.
game is fake.....the dude was on change of heart for crying out loud......he got dumped on that show too....he has a butterfly tattoo. he's a fake and a fag.........his music sucks too....it's funny seeing these 16 year old his dick

I thought it was simply horrible and extremely boring. I would say Hunger for More is just as good if not better then that wack cd.
A lot of people seem to like Lloyd Banks, I don't see whats so great about him. The only excuse mainstream listeners have to listening to that stuff rather then underground is that they have "better beats". Whatever, the lyrics are always terrible, girls, g's, drugs. Every single song.
