Ice Cube is from Compton?
Game is a legend in his own mind. Not really sure how I feel about Game in the grand scheme of things. His first album was a classic, and he's had some hits since then. Never really blew up mainstream like 50 did. Most casual music fans have no idea who he is. Not that going mainstream makes you a success, but he also doesn't really have the respect of the true hip hop headz, like a De La Soul or Nas, people respect them even if they never really went mainstream. I personally like his music, but I also like Tha Twinz and Soopafly, but i know they would never be put on the Mount Rushmore of greatest westcoast rappers. It's hard for me to take myself out and try to look at his music from a nonbiased standpoint.
King Tee, Eazy E ,mc ren, bg knocc out..
while i'm not a fan of games antics..he had a few mainstream hits and can definitely rap .. documentary was a number 1 album and went multi-platinum .. same with doctors advocate .. LAX debuted at number 2 on billboard charts and the red album had him back at number 1 let's not pretend he's some obscure underground artist here .. might nota been a global icon like 50, but saying he was never mainstream is a stretch
Game had 2 dope albums. 1 album Dre did everything for him. He had Dre and G-Unit behind him, and G-Unit was the hottest shit out in that era. So Game was dope, but he also had the best behind him which made it so polished.Then he was able to do it all again with his second album, and do it without Dre and without G-Unit. So that's why he's got an argument here....but Cube changed the whole industry with NWA. Then Cube changed the game yet again when he went solo, and Game will never have a song as big as "Today Was a Good Day" is objectively speaking one of the top 10 Hip-Hop joints of all rhyme....Then Cube changed the game again when he linked with WC and Mack for "Curb Swervin", "Westside Slaughterhouse" and then the mega monster it "BOW DOWN". "BOW DOWN" alone by itself destroys Games career"Straight outta Compton" alone by itself destroys Games career"Today was a Good Day" by itself alone destroys Games career.....shit, game don't even have a song as dope as Cube's lesser known hits like "Push Rhymes Like Weight" or "Bop Gun" are still better than the best Game joint
