The Game to Shannon Sharpe : "I'm The BEST RAPPER from Compton ...Right Now... | update : SHA MONEY XL RESPONDS

[BK The Great]

If Kendrick had Game's ear for production he might be more palatable, i think that's where the fans disconnect. Kendrick is definitely more potent with what he's saying though. We can't talk about Game without Kendrick since he did pave the way for the New West to thrive. Even Nipsey knew what Game meant for that coast.

 

[BK The Great]

He is, but what does that have to do with the wax wars?

I don't even listen to Game regularly like i used to but to deny his impact is crazy. I literally was buying his mixtapes on the bootleg stands back when he was buzzing. Today's fans don't know about all that, they on the internet and never experienced that era.

nikkas trippin acting like Game only has one good album or that he’s wack. On some RAPPING shyt, he’s out rapping a lot of nikkas. Game went toe to toe with Nas on every track they’ve been on together

For some reason, I’ve never gave Red Album a proper spin, but as far as the rest of his catalog, all dope except Drillmatic (had a few joints though).

My comment below isnt even particularly about Game.

10 years ago I would agree with this statement. But now? I don’t agree. The internet and real life are synonymous. It’s not even a bleeding affect anymore meaning what you do could affect your real life. Nowadays it’s one and the same.

Ya I gotta disagree.

I think there's still a huge majority of listeners that don't know or care for about any of this stuff we discuss on a daily.

how can he say he better than kendrick when he has multiple joints impersonating kendrick

you literally didn't answer his question

Game was never “dope” he’s the definition of a word salad rapper with a bunch of random names thrown in his verses, he can “flow” but never been a good rapper like that, he has no substance

nikkas really let a rapping attendance sheet become a name in hiphop because his first album had some great beats

 

[Zero]

Him and Lupe lose sleep over how championed Kendrick is…burns them up even more that he pays them no mind.

But who brought up who unsolicited?

That nerd ass nikka Lupe is legit better than most of yall favorites and  yall cant handle it

Lupe and Game debuted like 5 classes ahead of Kendrick…He’s not their peer nor direct competitor yet they act like he is and truth is they NEED his acknowledgement way more than he needs theirs because their moment has passed.

THEY can’t handle the fact that no one cares if they think they’re better than him.

It must be two Comptons.

If you go back and listen to him on those old mixtapes before they threw him in G-Unit he was terrible, only got over cause 50 gave him all those songs

 

[BK The Great]

These Em/50 Stans are something else trying to downplay his catalog in this thread, thank God he didn’t make those gay ass pop songs they made. There’s no excusing that garbage, I’ll take Game’s mixtapes over majority if their albums. And that’s pure facts.

Kendrick intentionally makes his music very coded and palatable for critics. Critics are often tastemakers for the average listener.

Meanwhile Game's bullshyt and antics deter critics from his music - which often leave him overlooked by the average listener.

Kendrick caters to people who like to call themselves elitists with their consumption of music

Kendrick caters to people who like to call themselves elitists with their consumption of music

He creates great music from an objective standpoint — that’s the difference. It isn’t his fault that he has a deeper understanding of more complex musical ideas. Elitists with musical knowledge naturally appreciate and respect his art, because it’s essentially beyond criticism from a purely musical angle.

And you know how we call that? Talent.

There’s no such thing as Game being overlooked — he’s simply nowhere near Kendrick’s level. Kendrick is the better artist and makes better music, plain and simple. So regardless of the type of music you personally listen to, Kendrick deserves more respect than Game.
