u really think that? he's just influenced by them guys. you can tell that dude pens down his raps. he's been rappin like this for more than a decade. you should listen to his older mixtapes and tell me otherwise.
Meh, doubt it.
Trust me, i know The Game (as an artist). I actually used to be a hardcore fan at one point (ca 2005-2008). His
mixtapes is usually were he shined IMO.
The whole "influence" thing is redundant. He has no own identitity, image, own story, own voice or nothing. Even
what he claims he "stands for". 1 minute he'll act like he stands for this, but then the next minute he'll hop on the bandwagon
& do it too if its the "thing to do". Hes an entertainer. Like a clown or a magician.
As much as i love Snoop, so is he. But Snoop wasnt always that. Thats down the line. Game is pretty much just that.
But theres a difference between an ARTIST/MC & an entertainer.
