Game = The ‘We Believe’ warriors …Kendrick & the death and resulting canonization of Nipsey = the Curry Warriors

When no one, and I mean NO ONE, gave a fukk about west coast rap Game was the only representation.

You can make a very good argument that if Game didn’t keep the lights on, there is no lane for a jay rock to make heavy blooded out music, and therefore Kendrick never blows. Game made his own bed off wax, but if you a student of this shyt and was outside , you know exactly why he feels this way :manny:

Kendrick would have blew regardless. But I agree mostly with your post. Game kept the West alive. If Game wasn't around, the West would have had Spider Loc, Bishop Lamont, Glasses Malone, Lil Eazy E and maybe Guerilla Black. That's how desolate the scene was back then :manny:

You can’t say that. There’s plenty of obviously talented rappers that just didn’t pop.

The rap game doesn’t always make sense, and back then the game was still region-based and where you from still mattered. If the west coast’ voice went dead…..no Game, no Jay Rock, no TDE, no Kendrick

Like I said, I agree with your point mostly. Game deserves respect. But for Kendrick. He's a once in a generation artist and people were going to discover that regardless. He was on TDE. They were gonna push him no matter what. Lil Wayne did a song with Jay Rock so that was gonna put a spotlight on TDE no matter what. In the 2009, 2010, 2011 era, the Millennial Generation was starting to take over the underground mixtape circuit. Everybody was scouring the web for new mixtapes and artists. That's how Drake, J Cole, Big Sean, Big KRIT, ASAP Rocky, Dom Kennedy, Wiz Khalifa and others got noticed. I don't see this alternate universe where Kendrick isn't among them. The moment he put out Section 80, it would have gotten heard and if anything, if Game wasn't around, that would have made Kendrick shine more as he would've been the dopest West Coast artist in years.

Imma be real
The Documentary 2 has been in my rotation from the moment it dropped and literally the entire industry came out to celebrate this man on that project; yet he's such a bridge burner and strange personality that he's managed to force his name out of the conversation.
I mean literally everyone fukking got on that album just for him and then he turns around and does Kendrick like he did???

I met/saw him, (corny in person too btw, 😭😂, ice grilling in a club with a 6x Pelle on in VIP for 2 hours is nasty but whatever), he’s just way way too try-hard for me to get into, pause. Dope rapper, def had a hand in putting the West back on the map no doubt, 🫡. But talent wise musically? Ehh. He picks dope beats usually, I’ll give him that, I think yall overrate and gas that but that’s another discussion. I know it’s been said ad nauseam but 50 formatted/wrote most of the fire songs on his “classic” for himself, he just gave them to Game to help him. Think about that…

Bro has wigga energy lol, he’s like one of them super overly wanna be tough posturing whiteboys you see in the Dayroom and shhit looking hilarious, 😂. I imagine like white dudes in Iowa love him, type shhit

Around what time did u see him? Btw of his Pelle P this had to be 05-06

I still can’t believe he randomly jumped in the Drake/Meek battle and dissed Meek. Made a campaign taunting Meek saying where’s Meeky Mouse? Then shot a video like he was actually looking for meek in his ‘hood’, but tried to fool people into thinking Baltimore was Meeks hood in Philly just because they neighborhoods kind of look similar. SMH.

Dont think he jumped in to defend Drake tho. Not jutifying it but wasnt there some issue Meek had with the 60s/Big U?

Whatever problems Game has i’m 100% sure he brought them upon himself. Like seriously he’s one of the people I feel if something bad happens to him its ALL his fault.

Dude’s antics are just too corny and try-hard and outright bizarre. He’s literally the ONLY rapper I can think of with a top 10-15 discography whose antics made him a clown who people are embarrassed to give him those props. And whatever influenced him to get involved with Wack 100 in ANY capacity is just…retarded

Think him dealing with Wack prolly had somethin to do with his old manager Jimmy.

And Jimmy was cuz of those (D Mac, whicj is why Game was around Bad Boy) he had a production deal with got locked up and sold the rights to Jimmy

He had a good run for over 10 years but crying about this doesn’t help
