Who favorited?The Game Apologizes To 50 Cent, "I Did A Lot Of Dumb Things"
by on July 3rd, 2009
In a recent MTV News interview, Game recalled Michael Jackson's futile attempts to end the feud between himself and then-rival 50 Cent, saying that Jackson wished to collaborate with the duo, but the effort never came to fruition.
Nevertheless, Game has felt the need to issue an apology to not only 50 and crew, but the entire Interscope staff.
"For 50, I'm just gonna apologize to him, as a man," Game says. “It has nothing to do with music, or beef, or nothing like that. It ain't about being the bigger man. He can take it and say, 'Game is apologizing,' ‘Game's a sucka, he's apologizing.' I'm apologizing for me to him, to Dre, to Jimmy Iovine, to Eminem, to all the fans. Because if you think about what Interscope was when we were gellin', man we were it. We were an unstoppable force."
Game explained that while participating as an active G-Unit member, he felt the need to act on some certain issues to advance his own career. "Jimmy always says, 'Man, I told you guys not to break up the Beatles,' " Game said. "He says he told John Lennon the same thing a long time ago. But I was young, man. I was dumb. I did a lot of dumb things. I felt me and 50 clashed. I'm not gonna diss 50. I'm not gonna go back on the plane. He had his side, I had my side. I did what I felt was necessary for me and my career to have longevity and survive in hip-hop and music to be around when I'm Quincy Jones' age — not just be Quincy Jones' age, but be a Quincy Jones."
"Now, four albums in, I can honestly say from Banks to Buck to Dre to Yayo to whoever, if it would have kept going, endless paper. Millions of albums sold — because we were great together. Me and 50's chemistry was like how Method Man was to Redman when they get in. You know when Method Man gets with Redman, it's going down."
Game went on to express his undeniable chemistry with Curtis Jackson.
"It is what KRS-One was with Scott La Rock," Game explains. "When you take Ralph Tresvant from New Edition and Bobby Brown goes this way, you might get a Bell Biv DeVoe, but you won't get no 'Candy Girl.' You won't get no 'Mr. Telephone Man.' You ain't gonna get no 'Hate It or Love It,' you won't get 'How We Do.' As a family, we had it. If we never [broke] up, I think Detox would have been out and we all would have been selling millions from Banks to Buck, Tony Yayo. I'm gonna apologize for my role."

there’s really nothing wrong with him apologizing, i just had to throw in the small tie to young buck in this situation.
Two weeks from now
Game drops a new G-Unit diss.
I don’t know what is after Bipolar but seems like Game loves to Ether himself.
Like “dagod” said, He will be dissing G-Unit again….
50 Cent re-signs The Game to G-Unit
i wish they never split, think of all the good music and money they would have made.
i hope they do a collabo or something.
but i just have this feeling that either Game will diss 50 again or 50 will…well be 50 and hate on Game. either way big ups to Game for this apology. its just too bad MJ had to die before he could step up and do it.
game needs to get over himself hes really not as ill as he thinks he is. im glad hes reppin the west and keepin us on the map but we need a new west coast emcee to blow cuz games shit is gettin tired
He’s been the cause of a lot of rappers not eating, or not eating the same anymore. Niggas apologizing, and niggas going on BET talking about they forgive him lol. Its crazy man
The diss record, then the club hit, then the street hit formula is getting real old. 50 has ZERO versatility thus he’s no longer relevant.
Game fans dont even trust Game. Why should 50?
PS: Happy 4th of July!!
Any body from the Philly area going to the Philadelphia Race Track for the fireworks?? U can catch me there!
Curtis wasnt a good album. But it went double plat and 5 mil worldwide. So how he washed up. How many rappers can drop a album that wasnt up to standards, and get called over. Not much. Almost every rapper have that one album that aint all that. With 50 its a double standard
But dont matter, wat u say dont matter. U dont like 50, so u can continue to brainwash ya self he aint shit. Dont make it a fact. 50 been all over the place lately
Taylor Gang X Jets this JULY!!! look for that “How Fly” mixtape.
wasnt it Game who wanted to work with other artists that 50 was beefing with
50 was makin mad paper off Game and he wrote like 6 joints on the niggas album
i dont know what u call it but i call that biting the hand that feeds you.
i just gained a whole lot more respect for Game now cuz how many rappers you know out there that can apologize for some ish? but too bad MJ had to die before he realized this.
and fif wanted more money of of game’s album and game didn’t wanted to give him that…
so he ain’t bittin a damn hand that fed him..he just bite the hand that tried to squeeze every dime outta him…aight!
i’ve been his fan since documentary and he never disappointing me..
plus i always thought this might happen..it jus came a bit quicker than i thought..
i can see game bein pushed in somewhere on BISD 4real..oh and detox too..
i heard Game had already been on Aftermath for like 2 years and his album wasnt progressing. Fif came in and basically 6 songs off Games album where tracks that had already been made for Fif. Fif just let Game rap over those tracks and made some of the hooks and those where all of Games singles i think and some other joints.
and dude there is something called loyalty. if ur under one crew, you cant be trying to work with other niggas that are beefin with the head honcho, thats not being loyalty.
its like Em said in one song with 50 ( i cant remember what song it was) he said his beef is 50s and 50s beef is his. thats loyalty.
50 weren’t there when game was standin on tha corner..he wasn’t there when he was bein moved from a home to a home..he wasn’t there when his father sexually abused game’s sister..
plus as secondson said..game is a better lyricist than 50..
but the truth is that game ended up on some dre’s beats that were supposed to be 50’s beats and took them for himself..but i think game fits better on dre beats than 50..
a for loyalty…you can have a point on that..but i heard 50 and game were never that close to each other..so i don’t know..
it’s like yo’ boss told you you can’t roll with yo’ homies anymore in order to keep the job…so that’s the choice of a man…
hop off my dick you faggot
that doesnt make his music any better. it sounds the same any way you pop the CD in, chump.
The Documentary was the best
smh50 cent said it himself “i still don’t know the situation with me a game” “he’s something today and next day etc”
Banks said he bipolar…
i think game has like double personalities goin on.. remember the butterfly on the head? then switch it back to L.A to keep it hood?
iono ya be the judge
he’s just livin a day at a time..
haa. haaa. soo woop Nigguh
Shout out to Game…We are all waiting for 50 to take it from here!!!
I mean Game has been dropping songs still but the Documentary was so sick
Westside Story…one of Game’s best songs and guess what…50 was on it
They had a lot of classic songs and after game and 50 split…game quit getting Dre production for whatever reason but I got to admit Game + Dre production = Classic tracks…Glad to see Game man up and apologize hopefully we will get some good music out of it
But Game had ah bunch of hot songs without Fif on ah hook or ah Dre beat. LAX was hot period.
i jus hope dey dead da beef but dont do muzik 2getha
ain’t nuttin wrong witt cryin..
try to understand why

50 tryna get him paid? 50 didnt like thgat gamne was rising FAST n was about to b the same status as 50 n 50s constantly fuckin up artist money… just look at ja…
n 50 talks all the shit alon gwith banks yayo about beating down on rappers…. over his career hes been stabbed by ja bullied by murder inc n aint done shit back…
games put his hands on a fair amount of rappers so atleasts hes bein real with himself
50 sayin all that shit like u want my attention pop one of them things dont talkto me… game n shit turned up at hot97 50 ran off n left security to deal with the situation ending up with one of games boys bein shot… truely a faggot move
you bitch niggas should take a page outta Game’s book.
he knew he was the next JaRule…
wise move Game, now let’s see if we can’t get Buck off the white girl and back in the booth makin real music.
1) if 50 collabs with game it will make G- Unit look like they need game to be a powerfull force in the first place.
2) if 50 and game collab it will bring big buzz for 50’s album for promotion but after that he should totally diss the game
he just stepped in the game at the right moment wit GRODT made a major buzz and that’s it..ever since he been fallin of big time..
but he had his “second childhood” on documentary cause they both were buzzin around..
and as for game..he was on his level the whole time..had a few ups and downs but he was always there..
documentary-classic..
advocate-not that good but considering the new environment he was in (no dre..no 50..beef..new label…get it?) it was okay…
and lax-close to documentary or at least better than massacre and curtis…
so basically fif needs game more than game needs fif…
callin ppl “50 Stans”
take Game’s dick out of your throat.
sperm burper.
on the same fuckin article?
swallow already, damn.
i haven’t heard a diss from him in a while now..
that blood respect against bishop was his last i think…
ps GAME! dont sign no bullshit contract tho hahaha
If Game felt he needed to make moves to secure his career. So be it. Nothing wrong with that. However, you need to know where to step. When to speak. When to just shut the FoCK up. There is never any BEEF when you have plotted out your moves….IN ADVANCE.
So, if I sign you. I’m going to promote my interest. You are included in those interests. But if it becomes too much of a hassle to deal with you – Goodbye.
If you think you’re coming to my team to “Take Over.” I’ll make sure you shit get’s shelved, your career on hold. You bank account in dire distress.
I don’t care what happened between 50 and Game. What I know is 50 put Game on. For that, respect is due. If Game didn’t feel the situation was right. He should have stepped and kept his mouth shut. You never bitch out the cat that put you on…NEVER.
Much respect to The Game for coming out and apologizing though. Takes a grown ass man to put the past behind and move on.
you have to admit it .. in hip hop the beef is good for entertainment and all that ..everyone loves beef for entertainment .. but its even better when old beefs come to end and they join forces …for example the jayz/nas beef was CRAZY At the time … but whats next how long can it go on …why would it ..its not worth it so they joined forces …Just crazy ….
another example when the sort of 50/dblock beef was going ..it would be good to here a diss song from each other and be like yo you heard the new record … but later months/years down and you here yooo you heard the new 50/jada song .. thats even better the diss from each other in the begining cause its all good now ..you know …..
thats how i feel
I dont know about forgiving someone who talks shit about your dead mom
“Nahh we dont get down like that
but 50’s momma we’ll put you in the ground like that” – The Game
