I agree with the OP, but what the hell did you expect him to do on a song that sampled a huge bone thugs single. Especially since he had them on remix as well.
There was nothing wrong with him trying to copy their style on that remix but he over does it by trying to rap like the other rapper that's featured on every song.

The sampling was all his doing, it wasn't like he had no input in the production of the song (he wanted to bite that shyt) -

Celebration was written by Game (credited as Jayceon Terrell Taylor), Lil Wayne, Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa. Production of the song was handled by Cool and Dre and their protégé SAP. Celebration samples Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's hit 1st of tha Month produced by DJ U-Neek. Game said in an interview that in his entire career he tried to flip 1st of tha Month without taking too much of the original.

"I grew up in Compton, California, and I'm a huge fan of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. This is my fifth album, and my whole career I've been trying to figure out how to flip '1st of Tha Month' and I finally did it," Game told us on Friday while taking a break from filming the song's video. "I wanted to keep the feel of the song without taking too much of the original."

And really I don't understand the 'he had them on the remix as well' comment, at all. There's no difference between him copying their style on the remix and him copying another rapper on another song that's a feature piece. Just because it's a Bone Thugs-sounding piece, it doesn't negate his biting.

He was obviously paying tribute to og's in this rap shyt who are known for a specific style and flow.

I can see how you view it like that - but there's no difference between 'Celebration' and

shyt is still biting.

didn't he say in some interview, maybe the one with him/busta/eve on the cover that he after he came out the coma and decided to be a rapper he learned to rap by writing the lyrics down to his favorite songs and i just putting his own name in them... its what he knows...nothing about him is original.
