Joe Budden: "GAME Doesn't Have Any Classic Music That Isn't Attached To 50 Cent"

[GilSho]

Kiss being Top 25 while Game is Top 50 is straight up a combo of NY bias and Game being a lame ass nikka. Game sold more, has more impactful records and has created more moments for Hip Hop.

 

[3rd Ward Swangin]

How was one blood attached to 50?

 

[Overpss]

Game isn't even top 25 west coast

 

[Illmagic]

The Documentary has Games most notable music without question. Highly impactful as well. Hard to argue Joe Buddens point. But quality wise I’d take Doctors Advocate, Documentary 2, 2.5 and Jesus Piece over it. Game has a great discography. Much better then JadaKiss however it does bring and interesting discussion on how much album discography matters in GOAT debates.

 

[Feed-Me]

How was one blood attached to 50?

He said classics

 

[3rd Ward Swangin]

He said classics

That is a classic.

 

[winb83]

this should be the end all be all

i dont like Game at all but he is the better rapper

I'd rather hear a Jadakiss verse than a Game verse. The reality is Game puts together better albums though.

 

[Don Homer]

what difference does it make if it is "attached to 50" or not tho? He does have classic music. Budden does not

 

[CrimsonTider]

Game has two songs in the top 30 including features, both with 50.

But he has a lot of good music.

As Buddens knows, charts is not everything.

And since we talking Jadakiss, I don't know why high charting singles is even a topic. He has like 3 top 30 songs, Why, New York, the one with J Lo and the one Mariah Carey.


Imo Game has a better discography but Jadakiss has higher peaks

Look at you talking bout charts

 

[Mike Wins]

I'd rather hear a Jadakiss verse than a Game verse. The reality is Game puts together better albums though.

Really that simple.

For straight lyrics or a hot 16, Jada is way better.

Game is way better at constructing songs and albums. Even without Dre and 50.

Coli is obtuse as hell when it come to Game, due to a combination of tri-state bias, his endless corny antics and a bunch of 50 stans who still mad he killed G-Unit by himself. Bunch of dudes who unironically stan Tony Yayo and Jim Jones but swear Game is trash

 

[Piff Perkins]

Kiss being Top 25 while Game is Top 50 is straight up a combo of NY bias and Game being a lame ass nikka. Game sold more, has more impactful records and has created more moments for Hip Hop.

And yet Game doesn't have a non-50 Cent assisted track that had more impact than Why.

 

[Mike Wins]

And yet Game doesn't have a non-50 Cent assisted track that had more impact than Why.

Why is a classic track. But Game got ten plus tracks, from his own albums, without 50 involvement, that's outstreaming it every day

That's the problem with this conversation. Dudes quick to talk relevance and impact and how many people in Anytown, USA would recognize the songs as the backbone of their argument.

But you point out that Doctor's Advocate, LAX, Red Album, Jesus Piece and Doc 2 + 2.5 all outstreaming Jada's top streaming album and suddenly that don't matter.

 

[keond]

He's right. nikkas are reaching with some of these picks too. His only classic songs are with 50. Everything else might have been a good song or a hit for the time but they aint standing the test of time. If the average dj puts on a game song in 2025 they are gonna be the 50 joints

 

[Mike Wins]

Coli got me bored me during the game. So here were go. Any argument Kiss is better got to be based strictly off skills and guest spots. Do not mention sales, relevance or how many people know their tracks again

Honestly the better comparison is Jada vs. Xzibit, but that also end poorly for Jada when you start comparing albums
