Game has a bigger fan base though, he is more mainstream/has more mainstream fans
but the funny thing is that Tell me when to go and U and Dat are better singles than any songs on Games album (for radio/music videos/clubs)

LMAO........E 40 wasnt sold out everywhere. I can understand if it were in the Bay Area cuz hes like the Michael Jordan over there, but it wasnt sold out anywhere else. I stay in Long Beach and there were a few copies there, but the clerk told me they didn't get that many shipments in to begin with.

Nah i dont think this will happen and here are my reasons.
E-40 has a loyal california underground fanbase yea i was one of em but with these new hyphy tracks i believe not all but some ho like me dont like it wont buy the record. NOw the people who like U and Dat will just download the song.

Game brand of hip hop is more universal imo respected by loyal hip hop fallowers and casual ones. HIs style is not as Flamboyant and weird as a e-40 therefore reaches out to more....

My opinion.
