Aight. So this thread above is calling out "The Game Haters." Now, it's time to turn the tables. I notice that people who claim others are "hatin'" on The Game are new fans. They became fans after his signing to Aftermath. So, question is, where were you when The Game was on Get Low? Why weren't you people shoving his dick down your throads then, like you are now? What was the huge difference? Because he wasn't with Dre? Probably.

I remember when QB 2 Compton came out I downloaded it because of Nas, I had no idea who the Game was at the time. I thought he was pretty dope. I don't think I posted here back then though. The Game is terrible now compared to then.

Well just as somebody in that thread said, it's not that people just started likin him since he got with Dre, but nobody knew who he was before.
With me, I am a lot more for him than against him. I realize there are others who should be in his spot, but that can be said about anybody and anything. Also, I jus don't like how he sounds like a strait NY clone, not just style but accent, and that'll make it seem like the only way West coast people can blow up is if they are with dre or sound NY, and he has both. I think he is dope for what he is, but I donno if he can make a whole album worth of dope material. He sounds allllright on some tracks, but he rips some tracks when he changes his flow, like over the "Cant stop wont stop" beat he raped it.

That's obviously because when you're with Dre, you get a grip more exposure. Get Low ain't shit compared to The Math. Pretty foolish question IMO.

what a BS thread...
whats the point.. beacuse whoever got aligned signed with Dre, even someone Sly Boogy.. you'd still be hating on them too..
the sad truth is this.. underground backpacking groupies wont even look at him now he's aligned with Dre.
yeah i bought the nas/game album, nah i didnt know shit about him.. but then again ~no one did~.. and dont come claimiin ya'll did.. all people knew was that he was a blood from compton and that he was hookin up the the 'math.. and we knew this because.. well.. its in his songs ;) "signed with aftermath so what he bloodin"
All thats happened is he's getting more and more exposure, from mixtape tracks, to the 'live from compton' cd.. etc etc

I mean business-wise. Aftermath's got the 2 biggest sellers right now. What does Get Low have?
-
People are missing the point of this thread. The point is that people didn't even bother to check him out when he was on Get Low, only reason they checked him out was because he's with Dre.
(At least I think that's the point he was making).
-
he was never 'with' get low.. JT has put out a bunch of tracks.. game even disputes that JT had the right too.. seems JT got him to sign something a while back for a quick 50k from JT.. JT is a hustla..

reminds me of another rapper no one gave a shit about until he was with dre and em - a lil dude called 50 cent

So I assume the other thread calling out "The Game haters" would be BS too?

Untrue. I still liked King Tee when he was aligned with Dre. I liked Hittman. I liked Knoc. I wasn't "hating" on them. Your logic doesn't work.
the sad truth is this.. underground backpacking groupies wont even look at him now he's aligned with Dre.
LOL. The real sad truth is that you think Backpackers dug The Game? A few did, but not a lot at all. LOL @ that. Fuck outta here homie.

Nobody knew much about The Game when he was riding with JT, true. But, when he was riding with JT nobody knew he was signing to Aftermath, either. "New school Ice Cube so what he bloodin'" That was the line. That came out WAY after his Get Low times.
All thats happened is he's getting more and more exposure, from mixtape tracks, to the 'live from compton' cd.. etc etc
Maybe Dre's cum is filling your ears, since you insist on labeling us as haters, you're gonna be labeled as Dre dickrider, but The Game isn't spitting the same. He went from actually making hot songs to saying the same verse(just worded differently).
And true, Aftermath is much larger than Get Low. But, all these people are acting like his biggest fans all of a sudden, where were they when he started? Sleeping on him. Why? Because he wasn't with Dre.

In my case I hadn't even ever heard of him 'til he signed with Aftermath. I make it a point to know as many West Coast artists as I can. But if you ain't exposed to 'em, why should that be considered "sleepin" on 'em? Anyways, once I heard of the dude I hecked all of his shit out and became a fan. What's wrong with that?

Well what I don't get is, if you "make it a point to know as many West Coast artists" as you can, then how didn't you know who The Game was? He was riding with Get Low(and yes he was riding with them, he was dissing Bleek for them), he had a collab album with Nas(while not really created together, nonetheless had the name Nas on it). He was featured on Telas album. Young Nobles album, too. It's not like he was working with just nobodies. People were just sleeping.

i live in new york and i don't listen to tela or nas and it's hard for me to get underground shit around here....so the Game was unkown to me until he came out with that aftermath mixtape....i'm not hopping on the game bandwagon because he has yet to come out with a cd, but i can see how people could miss him and all of a sudden be on his shit

First of all, who is Get Low? I wasn't sleepin, I didnt kno who he was. At the same time, I am from L.A., and I've HEARD of 100s of rappers that I won't kno who is better than who, because most are just average. I first heard of him on one of these sites, like Westcoast2k, and just as with Dirty Birdy and many others, the reason I heard of them first was from seein them on the site. Then my homeboy gave me the mixtape, which I posted on here for everybody else to hear, so when they saw the name people were like "oh yeah I heard of him from (whatever site) lemme peep him to see what he has"
I agree many people do dickride him just because he is with Dre, but most of us hadn't heard of him til then. And usually Dre comes right with talent, so why wouldn't they peep him?
-
whats hilarious about this thread?
we're so aheadof the curve... most people off the internet have no idea who this cat is... just like with 50 cent... we'll be onto something else when game blows up.. no doubt.

LOL. Who is Get Low? Dogg. Get Low is not a person, it's a label. It's one of the most succesful Independent rap labels ever.
At the same time, I am from L.A.,
I'm from L.A. too. Point?

I don't know if you were here, but there were threads about The Game back when QB2 Compton came out. There were outlets for him. People chose to sleep.

It's one thing to decide to peep someone, you don't have to be there from the start. But, if you're just a new fan, don't try to talk down to someone who's been bumping that artist before you. Why? Because they're more familiar with his music.

I never heard of the game before he was with dre, and I never really heard much about 50 cent either. I'm not impressed by either rapper. I never really was a big JT and Get Low records fan, and I still am not that big of one. To me, I see nothing wrong with people becoming fans of the game or 50 because of affiliation with dre. Really, there is no big deal. So what if people haven't heard of an artist before? Damn, I live in Cali and I never heard of the game before, and look how many foreigners visit this forum. So imagine how hard it would be for them to hear of the Game.
I first really got into rap from original deathrow rappers such as snoop, daz, kurupt and dre. Do you realize how many rappers I checked out, due to their affiliation with these guys? Whether it be one song, or a shitload of them. I can easily name at least 100 rappers who I became fans of because of their affiliation w/ the og death row inmates.
I mean, its perfect human nature to do this. Its just like one of your friends becomes friends with someone u never met. You all hang out together, and you become friends too. Does the new friend get mad at you for not being friends with him w/o that affiliation?

It's not easy gettin' a grip of the underground West Coast here in Dago like it is in LA. I've known about JT and Get Low, but haven't heard a grip of his stuff. Even being a member of the Siccness.net forums for about a year and a half, I still hadn't heard of The Game.Don't listen to Tela, and don't listen to a lot of Nas even though I'm a pretty big fan of his. Basically, if I haven't heard of him, then it can't be considered sleeping. Now if I had known him, but hadn't bothered to check his shit out, that'd be sleeping.
