The Game: "For Me Not To Be Apart Of Detox, Dre Would Be Doing Himself An Injustice, Not Me"; Talks Beefing With Jay-Z & More
by on August 20th, 2008
Jayceon Taylor, The Game, must be feeling pretty good these days. After years of predicting it, his wish came true and Young Buck left G-Unit, G-Unit's latest album, Terminate On Sight, flopped, and with his 3rd, and final album on the way he is hearing nothing but positive reviews.
Jayceon recently sat down with Complex Mag to discuss Young Buck, Detox, Jay-Z and more.
The Game spoke on Young Bucks leaked phone conversation and said what 50 did was "low and despicable" and "everybody cries whenever you're emotional about anything in life, you're going to shed a tear."
A mixtape between The Game and Young Buck is currently in the works but there is no timetable on when it will be released.
G-Unit's lackluster sales for T.O.S did not surprise Game, because he believes they died a long time ago.
"They died after “300 Bars.” I went to the funeral and everything, sat in the front row with the family."
When discussing Detox, The Game said he wishes Dr. Dre well even if he isn't on the CD. But he feels Dre can't complete the tape without him.
"I don’t really care about being on Detox. I don’t think Dre can finish Detox without having me on it, man. I’m the West Coast—I am the West Coast. You can’t do anything on the West Coast without involving myself, my name, or my brand. For me not to be a part of Detox, Dre would be doing himself an injustice, not me."
Jayceon also went on record to clear up the recent rumor that he is supposed to be dissing Jay-Z on his upcoming mixtape with DJ Haze.
"There’s no Jay-Z disses, that’s crazy. Haze just hit me while I was asleep, when I woke up before I called you, I seen an e-mail from Haze asking for the Jay-Z diss. I explained to him there will be no Jay-Z diss until Jay-Z disses Game. Like I said, I have a lot of love and respect for Jay, musically and in his career, but the relationship between us as grown men is a little bit different. When he bites, I’m going to sink my teeth into him."
Even though there are no diss records from Jayceon yet, he isn't against the idea of beefing with the legendary Brooklyn emcee.
"Now, if the man wants to wage a war of words or get into some type of beef, I’m all for it. It would be an honor to beef with Jay-Z. That’s one of the reasons I try to bait him, but he won’t bite. Jay-Z’s smart and he’s going to sit back and wait for this to simmer down. Plus I’m way too disrespectful for the likes of a Jay-Z, and I go too hard. Jay-Z is a subliminal rapper, he uses his words and isolates you like that. I go hard, straight for the jugular, with a knife and I’m cutting your throat and you’re going to bleed all over Manhattan when you beef with me. It’s that serious. When I beef, it’s relentless. I won’t stop until one of us is dead, period. And that’s lyrically. I don’t have to box or fight, or take it to the streets. We’ll keep it a straight wax-war, that’s what beef is all about. But I’m too reckless for him."
The Game's L.A.X hits store shelves next week on August 26th.



























After waiting years for Detox to drop, Dre’s album needs be a certified classic or there will be a lot of disappointed hip-hop fans (who are going to dl the album anyways). Dre needs to keep their mother fuckin heads ringin.
As far as that Jay shit goes, like I said before Game doesn’t want it with Jay lyrically. Many people (Jay-o Felony, Prodigy, etc…) took Jay to be “soft” and they aren’t really relevant anymore. If Game thinks Jay doesn’t go hard on that beef shit, tell him to listen to Supa Ugly.
PS: Jay doesn’t need to respond to Game at all. He already gave Game a couple warning shots on “Dear Summer”, that should be all for now.
as far as the jay-z thing goes…i hope that doesnt happen because as much of a jay z fan i am, i think if it was beef game would win that battle cause game goes in and gets personal and goes real hard on diss records
i dont think he would end jay cause jay survived ether lol
but he would definitly win that beef
i just cant see jay hittin harder than game in a beef…i mean listen to some of games diss tracks (body bags, 300 bars, etc..) and listen to how hard he goes and how personal he gets
Now, doesnt it seem like Game is trying to pick beef with Jay? when Game said, “I respect Jay” that was a bunch of bullshit. if he respected the man so much, he wouldnt be talking about Jay the way he is. this is Game 2nd biggest mistake in his career (the 1st was leaving G Unit).
Jay…do everyone a favor and take this fake Blood faggot son of a bitch out!!!!!
and honestly to everyone, i really dont give a fuck if you trash this comment, i know what i said was the truth.
Ggggg-Unit!
That’s why he’s talking so reckless.
He wants to use whatever info he uncovered.
Kind of like how 50 waited for Young Buck to leave before he released his crying tapes…
as far as the beef, game needs to stop asking jay to diss him cuz games career would b over. even tho it pretty much already is. he wants the publicity for lax
as for Dre, hey what do we know… he went out and dissed Em, why would i be surprised if Dre leaves his ass out!
L.A.X fire tho :D
a jay-z/game beef would be ill but i doubt that’ll happen.
as far as Dr. Dre and putting the game on the new detox album…who gives a shit…he would probably postpone it another 10 years lmao…
i doubt jay will bite back unless his album gets a release date
ReDef.
Jay neva won ah battle really. Nas (nope)Prodigy (2pac killed dem already) Dipset (not really) Jim Jones had cats laughin at him. Plus 50 did Cam n or u can say Cam did himself n. so i wood luv ta c it. Game does keep comin hard n disses.
LAX iz fiyah yall. Cop it
but i’m looking forward to L.A.X…..
Game might have a classic on his hands… the only song i heard so far was the one with lil wayne gay ass doe…
He must still be high
What da fuck is he talkin about?
But imma still get both of them LAX BP3
fuck this faggot ass fake gangbangin bi polar pussy
Dude needs to get over himself. He’s not THAT important
To Houston: go and ryde on 50s dick, hes a newschool shit artist rappin about hoes money bling. The Game could kill lil eazy e instantly but its disrespectful since hes the son of eazy e..
The Game The Truth
houston the words that come out of your mouth are so dumb. how old are u boy? cuz have u heard anything new from yukmouth or eazy e? let me correct that have u heard anything that can top anything the game has done? i got 500 on it killed yukmouth on his own beat. dumbass.
love to see a dr. dre and game collabo
YOU THINK DRE NEEDS DIS NIGGA?
PLEASE GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE
AND DRE WILL SELL MORE THAN GAME EVER SOLD IN HIS LIFE.
IF IT WASN’T FOR 50 DIS NIGGA WOULD BE A FUCKIN TAX WRITE OFF

ITS NOT EVEN A CONTEST COCKSUCKA

DIS NIGGA NEEDS TO SEE A PSYCHIATRIST.
HE DON’T KNOW IF HE WANTS TO BEEF OR KILL HIMSELF,
BIPOLAR ASS NIGGA
Now Game will kill Gay-Z off.
about the whole jay-z beef, Game cant beef wit HOV and win. the difference in lyrical ability and success is just too much, Game would have not a lot to work wit compared to Jay ya dig?
I put a couple careers on hold, you could be next kid
Keep entering the danger zone
You gon’ make that boy Hov put your name in a song
If you that hungry for fame, motherfucker c’mon
Say when, take ten paces and spin
But on another note, ‘bout to take another vaca’
On another boat, goddamn a motherfucker rode
His way out the hood, and I pray that I stay out for good
But any day you know a nigga could
Try and play like he Suge, then I gotta play like Dutch Schultz
You pass the dutchie, I blast you, trust me
Niggaz can’t fuck with me
HE STOLE 50’S PLOT
SAY N DO WILD SHIT B4 YOUR ALBUM DROP
e not gon beat jigga
dre got the power in da game to NOT put him on da album n still do good..although i wanna c him on da album
n he jus buggin out
he need to chill
but he still my nigga
nah i think game should be on it… i think they jus tryn ta surprize niggaz wit a single feat. game
Now before everyone trashes me, READ……
1. He would have never been shit, I repeat, SHIT, if Dre and 50 didn’t bring
him into the game, period.
2. HE RAPS ABOUT NOTHING – I heard that song he did with Luda, where he
cries like a bitch saying how Kanye and Wayne shouldn’t be considered the
best rappers out without him being mentioned, are you fucking kidding
me!!! What the fuck do you rap about to make yourself worthy of ANY
such title! You dick ride anyone who ever had a name in hip-hop and
mention lo-riders and Cali in every one of your fucking verses and on top of
that you don’t even kill it FLOW wise!!! Wayne raps about bullshit BUT AT
LEAST HE EATS THE FUCKING BEAT! Game sounds like a lazy alcoholic
when he raps, HIS FLOW is boring and AMATEUR AT BEST!!! Don’t even
make me compare him to Kanye, if I have to do that then there is really a
problem.
3. All this fake beef shit on and off bla bla bla with Jay-Z is the most bitch
thing any rapper could do, starting the gayest bullshit beef for no reason
other than publicity. For people not to understand that makes me truly
sad. Why can’t he just drop his album without mentioning anyone else and
be cool? Oh ya because he probably won’t sell shit! Look at Doctor’s
Advocate – I remember it did well first week but I guarantee that Curtis
already outsold it overall (someone check on that!). Don’t BE A LITTLE
BITCH BRINGING UP JAY-Z’s name because HE CAME FROM THE GUTTER,
STARTED HIS OWN LABEL AND HE CAN ACTUALLY RAP!!! Game was
looked upon as a fucking investment and then got tossed out of his new
home by his adopted Dad because Daddy new which son had more TALENT
AND CREDIBILITY – that’s right bitches, Dre picked 50 over Game, and that
hurts his sensitive ass more than the fact that he WILL NOT be on Detox!!!
And that album definitely doesn’t need him, unless 50 gostwrites his verse.
4. Lastly (I could go on but fuck it) NOTICE HOW EVERY LEAKED LAX TRACK HAS A HUGE FEATURE ON IT??? UMMMM Why do think that is? Because him and his label realize he CAN’T SELL SHIT ON HIS OWN so they dumped huge money into bringing big name rappers on deck to up the credibility of the album period. Yes most of the beats are hot, and yes the tracks are not that bad, but notice how FEATURE makes him look STUPID? Now how the fuck is Game gonna say he’s one of the greatest out there when all of his guests are bringing in the listeners and outshining him on his own tracks, PATHETIC!!!
“I was molded off Jay-Z”
-- I hope he was referring to his business plans because if he meant lyrically, as AN MC, his bitch is seriously depressed to be talking that senseless.Now I know people like Game and that’s cool, BUT I HAD TO LET THESE THOUGHTS OUT I CAN’T TAKE THESE BITCHING FAKE RAPPERS ANYMORE, FUCK!
SELL YOUR OWN RECORDS GET OFF OTHER RAPPERS DICKS…and oh ya
SAY SOMETHING RELEVANT!!!
@ what Psyber Kayos said about Game havin some dirt on Jay, i could believe that even though it’s probably not true…
But SERIOUSLY ppl, Jay went pound for pound with NAS. okay. NAS one of the most lyric-conscious, nastiest rappers on the mic. And in my mind, Hov beat him. YOU Westcoast BWS Stans reallllly think Game would actually surpass Hov in a beef??!?
Ya BUGGIN’ the fuck out.
BITCHES AINT SHIT BUT HOES AND TRICKS. = GAME.
And as far as a beef with Jay-Z, I’m sure Game would come strong but what’s the basis of this beef? Jay-Z/Nas, 50 Cent/Game, 50 Cent/Ja Rule all started from SOMETHING. Nothing has happened except Game is hoping for a “wax war” for the hell of it. What’s the point? Jay-Z is above that rap-battlin.. the man is about to sign a $150 million deal with Live Nation and he’s gonna waste his time on Game?
I respect Game as an artist but as a person, dude has emotional and psychological issues.
so wake up dre and get yo shit right … we waiting for this for a looooong timmme!
get that raw footage..
get that nas!!
hip hop is alive
even lil wayne’s 1/2 decent album!!!
Pac didn’t do anything, but pop shit on records.Last I check, that “nigga” was a corpse and Jay-Z is on his way to a billi.
sorry to everyone for reading my off topic comments. i just cant stand how this guy disrepects the west.
machuman shut the fuck up you sound like some stupid ass g-unit fan tryin to sound smart. 50 cent rap. PERIOD. bla bla bla, and jay z talked shit about game just recently and he’s pissed so why wouldn’t he talk shit? Dr Dre choosing 50 over game only proves he wants money over talent. aftermath is falling apart. BWS
PS. BEANS BETTER THAN GAME JADA BETTER THAN GAMECHRIS BETTER THAN GAME KANYE BETTER THAN GAME SO HOW THE FUCK HE GETTING TO THE BOSS THE GREAT JAY HOV
aftermath may not be falling apart, but they need to do something Dr Dre 50 Cent Eminem Eve Busta n Stat Quo isn’t gonna cut it.

I fucks wit dat nigga game shit, dat shit b fire sumtimes, but goin against jay tho. dat nigga no better dan dat. Game talk a lot of shit n he baks his shit up, i fucks wit dat cus dats how we do shit, but against jay, (read dis shit again) NO FUCKIN COMPETITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NONE.
JAY-(IM ABOUT A DOLLA, WAT DE FUCK IS 50 CENT!!)
DR. DRE DOESN’T NEED GAME; BUT IT WOULD BE THE PERFECT MATCH FOR LYRICS AND MUSIC. TRUTH BE TOLD, HE’S THE MOST TALENTED WEST COAST RAPPER OUT. DRE RESPECTS TALENT. THAT’S WHY HE’S A GENIUS. TECHNICALLY, HE DOESN’T NEED EMINEM ON THIS ALBUM EITHER; EM AIN’T WEST COAST. BUT, EM IS TALENTED. SO HE GOES ON DETOX. AS AN ARTIST, I’M SURE DRE HAS A VISION FOR WHERE HE WANTS THE SONG TO GO. IT WOULD JUST BE A SHAME IF THE “WEST COAST VISION” DIDN’T HAVE GAME. THAT WOULD BE A MISTAKE. NOT HAVING GAME ON IT WOULD MAKE DETOX LESS THAN PERFECT.
THAT’S MY NIGGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he better off beefin wit bowwow
IF I WERE THE GAME I WOULD BE TRYING TO GET JAY Z ON A TRACK YO…YA DIG…FUCK THE BEEF WHEN THE NIGGA YOU BEEFIN WIT THROWZ OUT PLATINUM RECORDS EVERYTIME HE LAY SOMETHIN OUT…YA DIG…COLLAB GAME!!!!AND BETZ BELIEVE YOU GONNA SELL MORE SHIT MY NIGG…
