There were some interesting things posted in the hottest in the game blog. Alot of you folks need some reading comprehension, you chastised me for my choices then proceeded to list what you thought were the hottest mcs of all times. That wasn't the hottest MCs of all times list, that was the hottest MCs in the game RIGHT NOW list--per my opinion.
Some said Nas should be number one--Nas...an MC who drops a single once every 3 months is the hottest in the game? shit..Lil Wayne is more consistent than him...that doesn't mean he's more talented...just more consistent.
I DID overlook a few rappers though, particularly Fabolous & Crooked I. Fabo ALWAYS destroys the features he's on, but shit, I wanna hear another "Breathe" from him..not the lovey dovey shit they've been putting out.
Crooked I did an incredible job with the Hip Hop Weekly series--and his buzz--ONLINE--is great..but offline..and in the streets its minimal.
Speaking of minimal, when I said Lil Wayne's buzz at the moment was minimal, I meant when compared to his buzz last year--it's died down a bit. He's not dropping a freestyle every other day, he's not appearing on every other track--etc.
Onto todays subject, I was checking out a video from The Game and reading some stuff up on him and one thought entered my head...what happened to originality? Is it me or is he trying entirely too hard to be like 50?
No, I'm not hating...but why make a website ThisIZgame.com like Thisis50.com? ...Why not try to do it better?
Game is to 50 Cent what Saints Row is to Grand Theft Auto. Sure it's good, but it's a direct rip off that fans love.
Then I saw this vid..the making to Game's Pain, check it out below:
Look at this screenshot:
aaaand BAM!
I can't be the only one that sees it.
COMMENTS
LOL had to dumb it down for em huh.... I understood tho good read anyway
whatever happened to one-a-day?
Yo Flavor-Anas,
You look a lil funny to me. I don't think you can read. Where does it say Big Dreams? I don't see anything in the article about Big Dreams, but I do see Pain. What's da deal? I agree with you though about every shirtless rapper is not copying off 50. I remember when every rapper with a shirt off and a bandana on, was supposedly biting 2Pac. I didn't agree with that either. listening to "Foolish" Remix by Shawty Lo PEACE
i actually for a second The Game was 50 Cent (the image jokesta put up), before i read the article! Game need to get over that beef! what i happend to "i aint beefin wit no 50, i aint beefin wit no jay"
It has been change !
Game just did an interview on Funk Flex. You can hear it on miss info's website. Jokesta was on the money though. Fellas it is not just the shirt off. It's the headband, jewels, bracelet, arm band etc. Come one even if you are in love with game you have to admit, it is a little suspect. When has game ever worn a headband? Oh and in the interview Game goes in on Suge. But he sounds like he wants to end the beef. It is a good listen.
If wearing a headband and a chain makes you look like 50 cent then maybe we should consider calling EVERY nigga a 50 cent imposter.
Game to me makes far better quality of hip-hop music than Curtis.
You could have took the same picture of 50 and used it backwards and said that he trying to look like Game.
Is Defsounds.com trying to imitate Defjam.com?
Defjam been around forever. But clearly its just a part of the culture to use the word Def. Just like its a part of the culture to wear headbands and rock 37 inch chains.
This is all I use to sum up the situation:
Doctors Advocate = A-
Curtis = D+
To me its about the music. And if you gonna call a nigga a biter or a swagger jacker you gotta be willing to look in the mirror first.
YO Why is the story about 50 gettin his chain snatched in the rumor section? Funny cuz if it was anybody else itd be in the news part. THERES A FUCKIN VIDEO TAPE OF THE SHIT!!! IT HAPPEDNED. LOL. Nigga talkin bout its hard to tell whats happenening cuzza bad quality. Nigga, I'll tell you whats goin on, 50 gettin robbed nigga, thats whats goin on. LOL!! Cmon B. You 50 Stannin Jokesta???
here is my problem with fifty.. He ALWAYS makes sure that if he helped you to get where your at, he will let you know every chance he gets.. he did it with game.. did it with buck.. still doing it with banks and yayo.. and that pisses me off.. cuz lets be real.. if it wasnt for eminem in dr dre he would still be with colombia records starving.. and you really should shout out dr dre ever time you have an interveiw cuz he gave you a fucking gem with that in the club beat. i mean i could have made a hot song out of that track lol
all i got to say is GO 3000. i heard hes supposed to drop in 08 and if you want originality hes a one of a kind mc. i know he hasnt had quantity lately, but quality makes up for it ten fold.
originality died when diddy entered the game.
stand up guy, you right on point
lol Is Raekwon rele that close to Game, I mean tha guy duno how many albums Game's got lolll
jokesta you are right is jus seems that the game dont have a creative brain he is jus copying 50. now i like both of these dude their music is good but wat pisses me off about game is he jus wont let go of 50's dick he just keeps coming bak to the beef again
Its been 4 years and 50 keeps coming back to the fat joe beef.
Shit, matter fact, 50 keeps coming back to every beef. He made his name off that shit.
Yo gethip313 if you know anything about 50.. he made his name off of the mixtape circuit.. not by beefin
SUP MY NIG
snitchy is the ultimate hater. just look at it, everytime someone threatens his spot or roll out of his camp he attacks em. he aint a man of his word either. he promised to retire if 'ye outsold him the first week which i believed happen. look fuck 50. a rich ass hater dammit man.
50 cent = jail nigga turned Hardcore Rapper turned Snitch turned R&B singer turned Stripper (candy shop) turned nigga that put out the lp CURTIS.
^^Hahahaha!!! You had me spilling my deer park water on my keyboard and shit.
its funny..but if youre gunna say Game is a rip off of 50..then, HONESTLY!..50 is a rip off of Ja Rule.. Rule is a rip off of DMX...DMX is a rip off of Tupac... in a genre like hip hop.. where TRUE originality is SOOO rare...perhaps moreso than in ANY other musical genre.. its funny to single out ONE guy, this being The Game.. what about when everyone was rocking the throwbacks.. u know who started THAT trend??.. OutKast!.. they were very 1st ones to be wearing throwbacks, check your Aquemini inserts people!...soooo did the ENTIRE hip hop community jack their shit too??.. in a word, fuckyes... but comethefuckON!.. EVERYONE copies & pastes in hip hop.. id say 97% do it blatantly.. in the end, almost all of todays biggest names have borrowed/stolen.. or the PC term "been influenced" by Run DMC, PE, NWA, LL Cool J...etc!.. i dig u jokesta..and i hear what youre saying.. however Game dressing like 50 in a video.. even if its JUST like 50.. is bad.. but that is BARELY scraping the top layer of what is a VERY DEEP, in my opinion, 'epidemic' in todays hip hop.. u make a good point.. but there are 100 others id point out before this one...
REAL HIP HOP STAND UP!!!
you a funny dude gethip. lmao real fuckin hard!!!
like i said, consistent doesn't mean good.
Hate it or love it, quantity increases your buzz...he's consistent in dropping material..not GOOD material..just...he keeps a steady stream..no homo
In this case, jokesta is correct either way, even if he didn't try to be. Wayne's verse on "Luxury Tax(w/ross,jeezy and trick) is one of his best ever, "Lollipop is his most succesful single ever , and he's been putting in about half the work he usually does(which is more than most). I'm no stand but he's done more than Nas lately.(By the way, I'm a proud owner of every Nas disc, even ish like QB's dinest which was a compilation).
^^^ I'm no Stan, son't know where the d came from.
Are you retarded, Do you even know what Consistent means??
Wayne is way more consistent then Nas
Better then Nas? Hell No.
some people care more about quality than quantity. those that care more about quality (Nas) will always crush those who care more about quantity (lil gayne. jr needs to sit as down somewhere.
lolllll truest shit on defsounds for quite some time.....and yeahhh Game is a 50 fan, always will be, Its true u can envy some1 you hate...Game can rap dont get me wrong, i jus feel he kinda needz 50 more than 50 needz him...50 is jus in a different space business wise....Pain by Game is my fav track at the mo, He shuda been on II Trill
that what im talking about dudes in here need to keep it real keep posting this stuff fam
game was copyin 50 but wasnt it Game dat sed the massacre was gunna b 50's last huge album and its tru Curtis sold less than the graduation and nobody cares about 50 anymore d 50 was tellin buck before he got kicked out to leave wit him and wut happened buck didnt and now hes out of da unit
Was that Suge talkin to game?
^^Yea it looked like it.
Anyway, yea that pic of 50 and Game look identical but at the same time, when you look at rapping ability it's not close, Game is better. I think Game wants to be like 50 in the sense of business hence starting "Thisizgame.com" doing the sneaker thing etc... As far as rap music is concerned, Game does it betta than Fif. Sorry 50 fans.
DaGod always breaks this shit down perfect.
Im gonna start scrolling all the way down from now on before I start wasting my time trying to explain shit!
Jokesta, you exactly right about people getting that hottest blog twisted. For the most part, your list was dead on, I had a couple of different postions, but hey we'll see what happens. As far as the Game/50 comparison, once again you are on point. When "One Blood," dropped(the video) it looked like he had been in training to wrestle the nigga(50) or sumthin'. That headband pic is hilarious. Game is like a West Coast 50, he just is a little better rhyme wise and drops more names. He's almost as funny in interviews too. No wonder they can't get along, you can't have more than one Alpha male in a pack, one of the wolves is gonna get ran off.
real talk on your 50/game opinion.
yeah, both them nigga's need way to much attention to co-exist.
man crookeds doin it big u dono what ur talkin about HIP HOP WEEKLY is hittin stores, And THE ALBUM is on thee way B.O.S.S.-BEGINNING OF SOMETHING SERIOUS.
His online hype got him sstarted in the streets n now hes gonna blow up bigtime so do ur mufuckin research.
OMG GAME HAD A HEADBAND ON AND NO SHRIT ON AND HE IS TRYING TO COPY 50 WTF .. defsounds watch ya self
its a million nigga out here that fit that desciption. hell they might be some in your hood.
Saying: "Game is just like 50." is just saying: "I never listened to an entire Game album."
Listen to their albums..... don't look at pictures and url's. Fuck this blog.
50 and Game are both Hip Hop elite, but.... they're definitely not carbon copies. They're both better than Wayne, and Crooked I is better than all of 'em. Go play GTA IV and make some blogs about that shit.
I don't give a fuck if anybody props or trashes this. I know I'm right.
LMAO!
So on point.
The funny part is that half the niggaz who said Game is trying to copy 50 style also went on to say that Game is a little better on the mic!!!!! LMFAO. Thats confusion for you!
50 cent didnt originate sneaker deals or owning labels or starting websites or wearing headbands or NONE of that shit.
FUCK SNITCHY!!!!!!fuck em.
You have to admit, Game has followed in 50's footsteps. 50 may not be the only one who does what he does, but you CAN expect Game to do it or something similar. It's not the rhyme style he swagger jacks, it's what he does, even the way he goes about it that is similiar to 50. There careers are almost mirror images. 50 exposed Jah, Game exposed 50. 50 went everyone right before he blew up, so did Game. Hurricane Game's? G-Unit sneakers? Mya? C'mon man. Yeah, Game is a better rapper than 50(50 is better with the hooks though). It doesen't take much to be. But if I asked who are the TWO niggas who will go at anyone and name name's more than anyone else, it would be who, Game & 50. Like I said, Game i like a West Coast 50, whose a lil' better on the mic and drops more names.
you got a point 757, i can see those parallels. i saw game on a dvd say sometimes he wakes up and desides he dont like a dude anymore and starts a beef. that there is 50 shit. beefing is the brand new trend in hip hop. these dudes wouldn't have much of a career without one. game is a way better mc than fif though.
true dat dude^ they aint alike, everybody wears similiar shyt once in a while ya dig and cuz if u want a website you want it to be easy na mean something catchy that isnt hard to remember and Games a beast he DONT need 50 to be good
i could care less what home boi's wearing, half of the people in the U.S.A are dressing like five-O anyways!!let alone the whole hip-hop game! he sure did a great JOB getting Jokesta Attention! what you lookin at homie!!!you Gay or something! first its a list of whos the hottest right now, and if everybody would have clicked on the link to post your vote you would have seen that THE GAME is the most voted!!!!Despite what MTV might put on there show! i think homie jocksta, oppps i mean jokesta is a five-O behind the screen dick rider... i mean come on how many Articles do you see on this site about five-O! to many if you ask me, im i logged on to thisis50cent.com!!!!????jocksta you have to much in put on five-o on this site just back up homie! no woundering defsounds is looking for new rep's cuz the onces they have now are just plain dum..really...next time you have an input on someone, listen to there music!!!!! not there clothes!!!!!!! PEAcE!!!!
i thought games last album was knockin and the singles so far have been dope from this one...fif is prolly the worst rapper to ever pen a classic album (get rich..) that shit bangs not a fan of much since...if anything game is trying to be every L.A. gangsta rapper that ever existed...raekwon destroys anything by either of em..keishas lookin good in that vid tho! I bet thats good kitty!
LOL!! Game tried to look like 50 right down to the headband,chain,bracelet,and watch..God damn..He [Game] is still better though..:P
Who cares how homie game, just let the nigga do him...since when it became cool to watch and crack on how another nigga dress...little boys do that shit all time not grown ass men. In the end its all about the music. If Crooked I had some more buzz out in the streets, he would crush lil wayne's popularity any day...This blog is a joke, but anyway everybody entitled to their own opinions, so wuteva...
HOLD UP!! HOLD UP!!!
STOP THE HATING...
JOKESTA LISTEN UP...
It does seem a lil evident your a 50 cent fan. But listen.
Just because juelz santana has a bandana on his head does that mean he trying to act like tupac?
and if game is copying 50 , then 50 is copying pac, as well as lil wayne, jus for taking there shirt off?
You have to be real homie, just because more than one person have the same jordans dont necessarily mean there biting.
The Game has been consistent and put out better quanety tracks than 50.
The Game has had problems and idenity issues of 50 in the past but still thats not enuff evidence hes trying to act jus like 50.
cuz i can show u a hunnit pics of rappers with there shirts off pause no homo, and that dosnt mean they are jackin pac. it would be difffrent if game had the same chain, the same shoes , the same swagga, but its diffrent. hes not trying to act like 50, cuz before he was 50 i seen him dressing like this. look on the old smacks and the videos with jt da bigga figga.
So stop trying to exploit a artist doing the write thing. He was one of the few people who spoke about the sean bell shooting. the rest of new york jus made a song. common now.
and if your gonna realy talk about what happend to originality , point the finger to lil sleezy, i mean lil wayne.
he jacked gillies style, cassidy's style, t pains style and the list goes on. and yes he puts out a new song every week, but there all garbage! i ratha someone put out classic material once every 3 years then someone who puts out garbage every single week.
point proved period im done for now..
hit me up if u want me to be a bloger, im not some lil kid just speaking his mind, these are facts..im 17 , i will be legal in july!
get at me DEF SOUNDS
shout out to jokesta!
good article, i just think you shouldve got at anotha artist cuz that wasnt big enuff prove to be "swagga jackin"
DEF SOUNDS GET AT ME!

SHOUT OUTS AGAIN TO JOKESTA!

-Nillz
Wow Jokesta did you get that? My man stay in school. Blogging is not for you. Spell check would eat you alive. It is too much work. I think you spelled like three words right.
I did agree with the second part of your (whatever it was though).
What a waste of time you idiot...Jokesta a blogger, his job is to make us do what we are doing now....Some of you are idiots.
