"I was asleep the other day, and I woke up to a text message saying, 'Big Joe, what up? This is Game,' he said. "I was like, 'Oh, somebody is playing on my phone again.' I hit him back with a bunch of question marks, and he hit me back with 'This is Game.' Still, I wasn't convinced yet. Then I started checking my messages, and apparently he was on a radio morning show and asking if anybody had my phone number and said he was trying to reach out to me. So I eventually called him. We had a great conversation, talked about a lot of things. He invited me to come to his show, come kick it. I took him up on it."
So how does Joe feel about the past drama between the two artists? "Me and Game never really had an issue," Budden said. "It was more so a Joe Budden vs. G-Unit thing — which, at the time, he happened to be a part of. So, I mean, it wasn't anything personal between myself and him. And it was so many years ago, and I think we both grown and gotten past all of that verbal bashing. I thought (Tuesday night's show) was great for hip-hop."
Also appearing at the show were some supporters from the old school era of hip-hop, Dana Dane and Kool Herc. Raekwon and Ghostface also blessed the stage, as well as rapper Maino.

I CANT WAIT FOR THE COLLABO MIXTAPE DAT SHIT WOULD BE ILL. THIS IS WHAT WOULDVE HAPPENED IF PAC AND BIG LIVED AND GAVE HIP HOP FANS A WHOLE ALBUM.
thas good for hip hop that people squashin beef....the game(hip hop,not the rapper) doesnt need all that drama..it's only gonna end in a loss of life like biggie, pac, et. etc. and by that time it's too late to squash that shit...rappers should just make hit musik and make that money..
Niggas is just grown, and aint on that SUPER Gangsta shit anymore. These Niggas finally know what makes money=Good Artist's collaborating on music. Look at Lil Wayne, and Khaled, and T-Pain, Plies, Ross, etc. Them niggas is boo boo, but yet and still they're getting cake.
So with Game and Buddens, this is a good move for them aswell as Avid, True Hip Hop listeners..
yea most of that beef shit is just competition...thats why i like when rappers grow up and reach out to each other like men instead of holdin grudges like bitches
oh shit defsoundss policee^^^ fuckk joshh man ur a str8 faggot bruh
his mom doesnt lett him look at boobiess HAHAHAHA fuckinn goof
How the fuck did hater Josh813's get a fuckin prop we need to trash his shit to the garbage he just a fucking hater
they both suck anyway i thought the beef been over cuz they were hugin and kissin after word game gay ass probably gave dude a lap dance
I am fuckin rollin after seeing this niggas avatar with a 200 lb biatch with 100 lb titties. I'll still hit it tho.
Game and Joey is a good step. Oh yeah, LAX is on point. Game got his shit up this year mane. That track with Nas, letter to the king, is what you need to listen to nigga.
413Josh don't like tits that's why he acting like a bitch. Maybe if there was a picture of a co*k he would like that !
Prophet83,
I wouldn't mind a collabo between the 2, but a concept album featuring them as a duo would not make sense. Not everyone can do that Red & Meth chemistry. I don't even think a B.I.G. & Pac album would have been as good of an idea as people think. Even so there is no way a Game / Budden album would have been anything like it. No comparison. Oh and I love the pic in the avatar, you get props just for that! PEACE Come check out The Livin' Large Show w/ Bobby Livin', and Tony Large Fridays 11am-1pm EST at www.clubmegamix.com. You'll like it. Listening to "It's Like That" by The Lox
lol you notice how he said Ghostface and Raekwon "blessed the stage" and then as if it was a sidenote, he adds Maino?
Instead of "Ghostface, Raekwon, and Maino blessed the stage"
lol I thought that was funny.
Maino is nowhere near the other guys' levels, so he's not ready 2 "bless" stages yet.
the fuck is wrong wit u dawg??? what in the fuck could possibly be your reasoning behind saying FUCK JAY-Z????
only one way that should come out a niggas mouth and thats if u bumpin ether...
nigga below me said it all..peep my shirt, you already know how i feel about that
this is great for hip hop...we need new collabo's something like ( the game,joe buddens,jadakiss,maino, etc...) am glad to see The Game step up like that and reach out first. speaks alot about his character and as far as that new york show he had...shit was oddd on who he brang out...lmao nice one game
i luv it man. 2of my fav artist. dats wussup dat Game reached out. ah collab wit dem two wood b sick and i wish i wuz der to c him perform Who. but hopefully mo muthafuckas come 2getha. o yeah i like Game but i hope he dnt flip script dis tyme and keep da peace. if he did wit Ja he can wit Joe. LAX
@prophet83
WOULDN'T IT BE COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE FOR THEM TO SQUASH THERE BEEF ONLY TO COLLAB IN ANOTHER ONE???? THIS IS GOOD FOR HIP-HOP AND MORE EMCEES NEED TO FOLLOW SUIT!!!! I HATE THE BULLSHYT BEEFS CREATED FOR HYPE!!!!
Yea dis is gud for hip hop, I like this move by Game, makin sure dat all the bridges aren't burned...Learn it.
ReDef.
typical game bein a bitch
NAA I THINK A CREDIBAL LYRICIST COMIN AT JAY IS GOOD FOR HIP HOP. NAS AND JAY-Z'S BEEF WAS GOOD FOR HIP HOP COS IT STAYED ON WAX AND JAY BROUGHT THE BEST OUT OF NAS WHEN HIS CAREER WAS LAGGIN AND THEN HE DROPPED STILLMATIC WITCH WAS LIKE HIS SECOND BEST ALBUM. MORE PEOPLE NEED TO HERE JOEY'S REAL SHIT. JOEY AND GAME ARE BOTH REAL LYRICIST SO FOR THEM TO COME AT JAY TOGETHER WOULD BRING THE BEST OUT OF BOTH OF DEM. PLUS JAY-Z NEEDS A SHOT IN THE ASS COS I AINT BEEN FEELIN HIM SINCE THE BLACK ALBUM HES GOT COMPLACENT AND LAZY SO IF HE GOT NIGGAZ COMIN AT HIS HEAD MAYBE HELL DROP ANUTHA CLASSIC. HELL HAVE TO PROVE HIMSELF AND STEP HIS BARS UP
nastradamus over stillmatic??? get the fuck outa here
but this is great to see... think about it, theyre the only two artists who can make a 15 min song and adress the whole industry without any other rapper saying shit about it... game 300 bars, joe budden who?
2 of the best rappers out
LAX out now

...cop em
"We were beefing but we never had a problem"
I sware yo if a nigga kills games mom hell be mad at first and then become friends with him years later.
It seems to me that hip hop is blessed to have sme1 like game.I mean, listen to his music, its tha same ole hip hop that made us love hip hop, at the same time he keep it real with em other playaz....i hope hataz ARE taking notes.,
lookin good
when did peace get uncool shit I aint no big game fan but there aint nuttin bad to say bout this
lol@the name coconut sausage,man what the hell!!! im sorry i lost my train of thought when i seen that name. But n-e way to be honest with u i forgot these guys had beef with each other o well
This is really good for Hip Hop. Joey and Game are two of the last real emcees out there.
nastradamus better then stillmatic???? NIGGA PLEASE NAS DONT EVEN LIKE DAT ALBUM. YOU OWE ME? NEW WORLD? SHOOT SHOOT KILL KILL? DAT SHIT WUZ ASS CHEEKS I AM AND STILLMATIC THATS DEBATABLE AND ILL SAY IT AGAIN LIKE THE ORIGINAL BIG HOMIE PAC SAID NIGGA FUCK JAY-Z
why he peaced it wit this bitch ass nigga game no respect for that gay stripper ass nigga
You strip as well, I guess you are a "bitch ass nigga" too.
I Like What game is doing here, I wish more people would squash all the silly beefs, but have you noticed game squash's every beef he's been in? Ja, Jada, Fat Joe, Buck, Tried to with 50, etc. That shows me he can't handle beeing in a beef. he always breaks down in a beef. it never fails he'll appologize, then the next day prolly go back at 'em.
who won the beef gunit or game?
im pretty sure, almost certain game killed gunit
Got dam u is like the dumbest Game fan i know, tell me how the hell g-unit is dead, while all of 50 cent albums sold more then the game and his making more money then the game, Banks whole mix tape killed LAX, Raw Footage knock the LAX album off the shelf
Houston u just a straight hater you probably didn't even listen to L.A.X. Every one that has a sense of knowledge can tell you that L.A.X. ain't garbage and might be the best hip hop album that came out this year.
Also Houston is that all you have time for because I see everytime there's a Game song thread or a Game news thread you always hate. Is that all you do with your life is hate? That's pathetic
No it is not that he can't handle beef but that he knows that the beef that he was in was bullshit. It was 50 stupid Ass that told his peoples to go at these artist that did not agree with 50 plans. So 50 said if he has a beef with an artist that his whole crew should. If Game was a true listener of Hip Hop which he was, he loved these niggas styles and songs before he was in the rap game. And now that he ain't fucking with G-Unit anymore he can be his real self.
g unit is dead huh? i'm pretty sure they just released a album & they're still making new music. & 50 is still the most richest rapper since 2002. dumbass. quit riding games dick.
well he still went at Jay & Buck without 50
it's too many collabo's folks albums starting to look like mix tapes. hip hop don't need collabo's just good music.
Good for both of them, now they can make an ill record. Hopefully Game & G-Unit can squash beef, but I know for certain that that won't happen.
Who gives a dam about these nigga, The Game is through with the rap game, 50 cent made this nigga quit, game got so mad that 50 cent was gettin all the money so he decide to quit, n for joe budden his cool n all n got some ncie lyrics but his just to local, radio never plays his shit, i aint heard this nigga make a single yet, but he cool people, i aint dissing
Well if that's the case then I guess hip hop is going to die
The Game isnt through...his album just came out
and you and i both know that he's not retiring for good. that RARELY ever happens in the music industry. At the end of the day the game is a far better MC than 50. They should do a track together...whether they like each other or not. They'd get a major buzz
50 made Game quit? Game is quittin for his kids. But come one, 50 is quittin too. He's puttin out one more album and he's through.
fuck Game. Game's quitting because he cant handle hip hop. fuck his kids, ill stomp those little bastards
Feelin like A-ROD some say his time's up - boo a nigha at home BUT I'm in my prime YUP! - He's by far the best player on the team but the general manager drops him to the bottom of the line up - Should get traded but he don't wanna move - cause this the only city he's got somethin to prove in - THATS why I'm seen wit heaters - cause you can't be the man when you on the same team as Jeter
~budden
oh yea great year for joey right here
at i first i was like "lets see how long this last before Game flips the script and be on a radio show dissin that man again" but honestly i think like budden said it was more of a G-unit war...and the fact that Game had him come out on stage to perform pretty much solidified that the beef is over...good to see that cause the beef stuff getting played out.
and as far as the comment G-Ice made I'd like to see G-unit and Game squash their beef but it'll take a miracle from God for that to happen...i mean niggas would have to go through some life changing shit to end the beef, and it still may not happen.
this is very good news for hip hop. beef is competition amongst artists. but sometimes it can go to far, to unnecessary measures. kanye and 50 beef wasn't really beef, just a sales strategy. biggies and pacs wasn't.
check out my review on The Game's L.A.X. on my bball and rap blog
http://hamexpress.net/2008/08/29/lax-the-game/
no but my nigga I LISTENED TO GAME
shit ima g-unit fan an i put money into that album (i dnt know why) but i did....an now im pissed. khuzz it was NOT worth buyin real tlk. straight up it had like or 6 good songs....tha rest were WACK
an anybody who says G-Unit suckz an says game is better is a GAME DICK RIDER an anybody who says 50 is waayy better than game an says game sucks is a 50 DICK RIDER. (even tho i think 50 is ALOT better than game) i still think game is good. i juss dnt like HIM
AN THE NIGGA streetfam09 IS THE biggest DICK RIDER EVER. this nigga gotta picture of game as his default an rides games nuts on EVERY song n DNT give 50 props when he gotta kool song. he jss looks up shit that gotta do wit 50 an right negative shit bout um
