never heard game say jay z was his favorite rapper or speak in jay b4 he start dissin him. U could be right tho. Jay never told his side of the story or never spoke on Game either so it hard to tell
As someone who used to follow Game & his career esp between 2004-2009, trust me, Jay-Z is one of his favorites. Maybe not "favorite" but i'd guess at least top 5. When
he 1st started he used some of Jay-Z, Lox/Kiss' lyrics when he was in ciphers. That aside much of his lines in his albums were lines flipped of Jay-Z.
But how could i forget..
The real story also has to do with Memph Bleek & JT The Bigga Figga too. Game worked on records with JT when he had Get Low Records. But then
Bleek also had a label called Get Low Records. So JT felt an issue about that so there was a little friction about it & Game rolled with the squad. This is why Game & Bleek
were going at it before Doc came out, even tho i believe he was off Get Low at the time.
