XXL: Let's talk about the Game situation.
50 Cent: Game is on Geffen. He's not on G-Unit or Aftermath anymore. It's all under Interscope still. He just has no participation from Dr. Dre or 50 Cent on his new project.
XXL: That whole Game thing is an interesting situation. Everybody's waiting to see how it plays out with his album.
50 Cent: I don't think it's going to be interesting. I think it's going to be what it was before I wrote his hits. That's the bottom line. I wrote six records for his album, three of them were his first three singles. Can he rap? Yeah. Is he a good songwriter? No.
XXL: Do you still make money off that?
50 Cent: Of course. You think I gave my money away? Me and Dre will still make the same money we would make off the project. It's just no longer on Aftermath or G-Unit.
XXL: But if he's not on your label, how do you make money?
50 Cent: Because Jimmy [Iovine] is the boss. Jimmy says this will stop the confusion, 'cause Dre isn't as vocal. The average person in the general public, they would think the differences between me and Game are cool with Dre, 'cause they didn't hear Dre say anything. And then you look at it like, Game's from the West.
XXL: Does Game know that Dre is not going to be on his album? I mean, the album's supposed to be called The Doctor's Advocate?
50 Cent: He front like the Doctor's Advocate because he tries to stay with Dr. Dre's association so he get the love on the West Coast. That's what he needs. I'll make more money off a Game record every time it comes out than he will. It doesn't bother me if he sells records. I don't believe he will. My morals say every dollar ain't a good dollar. I'm sure we'll never be friends.

50 talking out his ass.

50 talking out his ass.
I would tend to agree with that
-
Personally if Dre sold out Game like that...some ppl might hate me for this...if dre ain't on Game's new album cause of this...I will never cop dre's shit again in my life...Dre does more to fuck up the west Coast than he does nowadaays to support it...I mean...50 cent is a fuckin clown, and he is killing this shit.
BIGG UP SNOOP DOGG...A REAL MOTHAFUCKA!
DRE...I UNNO HOMIE...
-
Game > 50
-
don't believe the hype my niggas, just cuz game is on geffen, 50 is manipulating the situation to look a lot worse than it really is. the case is....dre still fucks with Game.
maybe 50 will have to keep his promise of not working with dre if dre collaborates and produces with game on his new album.
-
50 has got to be the biggest clown in the industry right now. He is a perfect example of someone that starts to believe their own lies after they hear them enough. There is now way that 50 is making money off Game's next album if he's no longer under the Aftermath/G Unit imprint. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out. The funny thing is that 50's answers are hella short, almost like he's mad about his current situation, and worried about what the future holds. Dude lost the best artist in his camp, and he's finally beginning to see that now that the rest of G Unit isn't selling. Hell, not even Dre's backing could help Busta sell that well.
-
why is it so hard to believe that 50's making money off game? Suge was still makin money off the albums Snoop released on No Limit, and Master P was was makin money off Snoop's album after he left No Limit along with Suge
believe it or not it happens in the music industry
-
I know 50 usually talks BS... but in this situation, I think he's right
-
This sounds sh!tty but for some reason i kinda believe wot 50's sayin' altho some of it is bullsh!t. Still coppin' games album and im almost positive that dre's producin on games album, i jus wudnt understand if dre was to f*ck game in the ass wen hes the future, not 50!
-
Being on Geffen aint bad. Nellly Furtado is selling more than Busta plus look at Snoop. The whole Shady/Aftermath/GUnit is loosing their buzz.
The only bad thing for Game is no Dre beats.
-
Game isn't very good anyways, good ridience.
-
we´ll see how this plays it out but i´m already sure that this upcoming album with be better then the Docuementary. can´t wait to hear the songs he´s done with Nas(they´ve done 3). of course it would be good with Dre beats but Geffen´s not as crowded as Interscope and if Mos Def has gotten 2 gold albums on Geffen then it shouldn´t be too hard for Game to move over 1 million.

Yep Geffen is great these days probably even better then Aftermath. Only no Dre beats for Game.

i´ll wait until it comes out to see coz Dre´s been awfully quiet about the whole situation so who knows. coz we all know that Dre wouldn´t call 50 and ask him if it´s ok to work with Game just coz he´s on another label. but if he´s not on it then Game lost the greatest producer but there´s still 5 better beat makers out there but can´t nobody see Dre on the vocal coaching and shit. but i hope he got Timbo on this shit coz right now Tim´s shitting on Dre.
-
One thing I dont get is why everyone thinks 50 made Dre do that. Game cause a lot of toruble since he joined Aftermath, like being in the video for Certified Gangsta altough Dre and 50 told him not to be in any videos before How We Do, being in the whole beef with 50 Cent, releasing diss mixtapes when he was told to STFU. Dre is a bussiness man and I can easilly see why he would have decided to drop Game.
-
^yea i can also see why he was dropped, but Dre´s still worked with certain artists after he dropped them so it´s not a huge stretch that he would work with Game. but i´m still looking forward to Game´s album coz from the people who´ve heard the album it sounds like it´s gonna be dope.

50 done got too big in the industry. He thinks he's runnin' shit. Watch how long he's runnin' shit when the groupies get tired of him.
But shit, that Dre/Game situation needs some fuckin' resolution, I dunno what the fuck's goin on anymore.
On a side note - put this 50 talk next to Snoop's interview with Nima and you see who's really trying to do business the right way.

Fuck 50! Game went 4 times platinum what did the massacre do 5 million? I could be wrong so please correct me if im wrong. 50's sales will only get worse from here on out. I thin Games will get better....I love how people hate on Game so much. He dont need fuckin 50 cent anymore.

50 continued to talk crap, somehting you seem to avoid mentioning. If anyone restarted the beef after the press conference it was 50 in interviews & also in piggy bank video. Game retaliated, maybe went overboard with it, but was all in retailiation. Stop actin like Game started this shit for nothin, when it was the other way around

Of couse 50 did it too. But 50 threw lil jabs while Game was releasing mixtapes full of disses. Piggy Bank came out after 300 Bars. 50 played it smart.

Nah Game went 4 times platinum world wide. Game did 2 millions in USA and 50 did 5 millions.
-
Okay^^^^ 4 times worldwide thats what i meant.
-
This was in game's forum :
look at the www.comptongame.com website.
check the bottom right corner... that's right= there is GEFFEN RECORDS LOGO, not MATH.
The situation:
THE GAME WAS STILL CURRENTLY SIGNED TO G-UNIT/AFTERMATH - WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO HIM RELEASING HIS NEW ALBUM, GAME WASNT OBVIOUSLY GOING TO RELEASE IT ON G-UNIT - SO IN ORDER TO DO SO HE NEEDED TO SIGN A NEW CONTRACT - WHEN HIM AND JIMMY AND DRE STARTED TALKIN ABOUT CONTRACTS IT WAS SAID TO BE BEST IF GAME SIGNED A 5 ALBUM DEAL WITH GEFFEN FOR AN UNDISCLOSED SOME - AND IN RETURN GAME WOULD GET A DISTRIBUTION DEAL ESTIMATED AT $50MILLION FOR HIS RECORD COMPANY BLACK WALLSTREET, UNDER INTERSCOPE - THIS THEN PUTS B.W.S AT A WORLD WIDE RECOGNITION STATUS -
THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT HERE:-
GAME'S RELEATIONSHIP HAS NOT CHANGED WITH DR DRE AND HE HAS STILL PUT THE SAME LEVEL OF WORK INTO THE ALBUM AS HE WOULD IF GAME WAS STILL UNDER AFTERMATH -
AND THE PUBLICITY/ADVERTISNG WILL NOT CHANGE.
props to "MostWantedoo" for this info
Edit : Sorry, didn't see that it was posted before in other thread...
-
U WANT A CLASSIC ALBUM DONT EXPECT GAME'S U WANT SOME DOPE SHIT TO LISTEN TO WHILE UR KILLEN TIME COP HIS MIXTAPES ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT HES A GOOD RAPPER BUT HE CANT COMPOSE HITS. & 50 AND DRE MAKING MONEY OFF GAME THATS REAL SHIT GAME CANT TERMINATE A CONTRACT HE COULD LEAVE THE GROUP BUT THATS ABOUT IT... HOPEFULLY GAME LEARNS FROM HIS MISTAKES, FOR THE FUTURE DONT SIGN WITH FULLS U BARELY KNOW..
-
50 reminds me of Daz circa 2000.
-
50 talking out his ass.
I would tend to agree with that
Ya hes a liar. Homotional if you will. Game is not on his label so how would he still make money on him? Only reason he made money on The Documentary is for writing credits and because the album was put out through his imprint. You can't just shave money off an album to give to someone else for no reason.
Like it was said prior to them having problems...Game was only signed to G-Unit for one album. 50 must think everyone forgot they both said that prior to the beef.
To the guy who said Game can't break a contract...you are right. Jimmy Iovine can. He is not going to give up an artist who went multiplatnium when people are barely going gold. At this point Game is worth more to interscope then Busta Rhymes.

not at all dogg. i aint tryin to hate. game is one of my top 2 favorite rappers. the thing is, everytime Game says "all i need is dre, dre is my homie, dre is my dogg, he is the reason why im here, dre is this dre is that, he starts lookin dumber and dumber. this is because dre hasnt said :-X and with 50 shittin on him in every press outlet he can get, thats what the symbols look like. dre is the only one who knows wtf is going on. what we say is just "hear say," you know. but i aint tryin to hate, this is just how it looks like. sorry, ha :-\
-
50 will only make money off of future sales of the Doc because the Doc sold over 4 million, and continues to sell. The only way 50 could still be making money is if Games 1st album flopped which it didnt, so 50 is full of shit.
-
50 wins again bitches

ur saying that game started the whole beef with gunot? 50 is the one that decided to talk shit and drop him from the group. yeah he stopped the dissin...then gunot starts dissing back again...like the new 50 cent mixtape.
-
What you talking about piggy bank came out on the massacre 300 bars came out on that mixtape that dropped last summer 50 is a bitch for starting it and now he got destroyed doctors advocate is gonna sell more than banks and buck and 50
-
Between this and the Change Of Heart shit, Game is over!
-
As long as game stays foccused im sure he is gonna drop a tight album regardless of whether dre is on it or not. 50 on the other hand seriously needs to step his rap game up, yes he is selling but he is a shadow of the guy who made power of the dollar and even get rich or die trying,
-

Yeah but the song Piggybank itself didnt diss Game. The video did which came out after 300 Bars.
-

Not true. Check GRODT Ost and like 13,14 tracks from the Massacre and youll see he still got it. Not to mention all the guest apperances (Game,Em,Mobb Deep,Yayo)
-
i told u faggots DRE wasn't gonna be on there but ya didn't believe me.
-
He is a perfect example of someone that starts to believe their own lies after they hear them enough.
LOL!!! ;D True!!!
-
Fuck 50 Cent. anyone that says 50 cent is better then Game Lyrically needs to go get a fuckin cat scan ;)
-
my thoughts:
- i'm waiting to see if dre is on it... if not, no big deal. i'd prefer that dre worked on game's album because game would probably benefit more from dre's involvement than any other artist (except the ones that haven't come out yet). i won't appreciate dre not working on game's album, but i'm not going to hate on him for it. game does cause a lot of trouble and who knows what went down behind the scenes.
- game's label situation looks good, promotion wise at least. geffen is not a bad place to be at all (nelly furtado anyone?). its possible that game owes 50 publishing, but my feeling is that jimmy took care of it like he took care of dre when he was shifting around between interscope sub-labels as pac was dissing the shit out of him.
- game's career depends COMPLETELY on whether this album is dope or not. he's shown a lot of growth as an artist and has a lot of potential, enough to make a 4.5/5 mic album and start a successful label. he's taken a LOT of losses though, if this album is shit then he's through, nobody will think of checking for him anymore.
- game's shown he can make songs without 50 like put you in the game, and some of his mixtape joints. it remains to be seen whether that translates into making a good album. "one blood" is just mediocre, IMO, and while I hope the album is going to be dope one blood is an indication that the album won't be anything special. then again i didn't like westside story either and i really liked the documentary, so we'll see.
-
I feel sorry for Game, he really thought that he could bring back the west, awwwe!
-
If Dre doesn't fukk wit Game anymore because 50 snitch told him not too thats some bitchmade move by Dre
how could Dre be in fukkin 50's pocket like that when he blew 50 up with In da CLub
-
Fuck 50 Cent. anyone that says 50 cent is better then Game Lyrically needs to go get a fuckin cat scan ;)
true that.

Yep, that's exactly my opinion right there.
-
Between this and the Change Of Heart shit, Game is over!
U Catz need to get off that Change of Heart shit We both know if you could you would go on Change of Heart too So would of Banks, 50 , and buck It wasent like Game was Famous bacc then and the show was big for a min
-
we´ll see how this plays it out but i´m already sure that this upcoming album with be better then the Docuementary. can´t wait to hear the songs he´s done with Nas(they´ve done 3). of course it would be good with Dre beats but Geffen´s not as crowded as Interscope and if Mos Def has gotten 2 gold albums on Geffen then it shouldn´t be too hard for Game to move over 1 million.

Fuck Shitty Fiddy!! He Aint Shit! Its True That The Fag Sounds Like hE Is Still PIssed Off. Shit I Would Too If Someone Would Make My WHole Label Look Like Lames!! Game Literally Made The WHole G-Unit Fall Off A Couple Steps! Fiddy Is Just Mad Cause He Was Never Riding On His Dick! Like Lame Banks, And Cunt Buck! Fuck Bitchy Yayo Also! He Yells Too MUch! I Just Hope That Dr Isnt Wit That SHit> Oh Yeah and No Matter How Sick Timbo Is< No He Is Not Shitting On Dre Homey! Dre Is A Fucken Psycho! Listen To The NEw Busta Beats!! He Has SOme Fucken Heat! Everybody Can Make A Club Banger But Not everyone Can Make Bangers Of Non Club Songs!! Dre Makes Sick Beats Off Themes! Dre Makes Beats For Every Type Of Song!! He Is The BEst!

^ you want a tampon or something?
-
You guys think dre will still work with game after the doctors advocate like doing at least 4 tracks or you think this is the end of dre working wiith game
-
50 is fucking snitching and trying to get his street cred up in this WHOLE article. No joke, pathetic.
