Realisticly the problem is this. If the beef continues, regardless of if its fake, for the media, and album sales, it doesnt mean that it will remain "fake" to all the homies of 50 and Game. Its going to end up like Bad Boy Vs Death Row, where 50 wont be able to perform out here, and Game wont be doing shit out in NY. And in the end, thats worst for us (West Coast). Whoever you think is a "bitch" (50 or Game) doesnt make a difference. 50 has the power, and market controll in hiphop. He can basicly call shots, especially on Clear Channel Stations... so he does have the pull, to get Game off of rotations....then the West is fucked. 50 has ALOT of power in this industry. This isnt about who is "real," whos a Gangster, and all that fluff, cuz most likely if either one of these cats gets shot or killed, it will be from an associate of the two, not from the two artists themselves.

It's because of Dre and Em that 50 got his buzz so, that's wrong in my eyes. It's not going to be another East/West thing. Half the artist and fans in NY hate 50 so it's not going to go there.. This could be a fake article but, if it is true, it would be good to see these two knuckleheads sit down and talk about that shit..
ah this sounds like bullshit, everything so far posted from SOHH has been bullshit, when will people stop trusting that site?

fuck 50
We have our own stations, controlled and ran by Clear Channel. Dont get into an internet tough guy flame war. How many west coast acts do you hear playing on the radio? In rotation we have Kam, and Game on 106. Go to www.power106.fm. Who the fuck is all over the front page, and every page on the site? Is it Kam? No, is it Game? No...Its 50. Look at the play list. Out of the 33 artists that are on the play list, 5 of those are from the West Coast. 100.3, the beat is similiar, but they only have 3-4 West Coast artists on their play list. 99.1 (inland empire) is the exact same. Now if you go to Hot 97 in New York, you are going to get a MAXIMUM of 1-2 West Coast artists. And those will be to Game, or Dre, or Snoop. THATS IT!You have to understand this industry, and Clear Channel gives the same play list to all of their owned stations. There is only room for minor changes coming from a program director, and its not in their best interest to play acts of their own chosing. Clear Channel is in the business of selling product, NOT MUSIC. Jimmy has the power, Interscope has the power. But 50 is their biggest artist, and if you think he has ZERO pull with Jimmy and Interscope you're out of your mind. He has broken all types of records these past two weeks for having 5 songs in the top of the singles charts. You think Interscope, and Jimmy are going to just say Fuck 50? Wait till you see Billboard record sales, and watch how many units 50 pushed...then come back and tell me he has zero power.
So let me get this right...A week ago 50 and his boys were calling Game out live on radio, creating huge media attention mere days before 50's album dropped. 50's album has now sold shit loads in just days (some people are saying he'll push a million copies)And he's now saying he's 'offering a truce' to Game?I'm saying nothing
