I don't have a problem with Game proppin Dre, but dude just name drops wayyyyyy to much in his raps.  Oh and...

Pac >>> Game, that's why lol

Pac is also greater than a gang of rappers that do that shit that you guys don't hate on.

The Game is promoting Detox & he is angry that he wouldn't be on that album. But I don't give a fuck, both Dre & Game are good.

In the beginning it was ok, but come on Tanj, name me ONE rapper than name drops Pac even half as many times as Game drops Dre's name...

If it was in a context where it made sense it would be cool but.. "and if you ever knew Dre muthafucka you would say I was the new Dre"

Im i the only one who are sick of game:monkey_piss: ? can't stand him.

[MIAMI4LIFE]

Name dropping is cool but in moderation man, Game goes way overboard kinda like Snoop did years ago with that izzle shizzle shit, Snoop not doing that as much now, Game needs to do the same

Yeah, if you were to actually count the mentions, Game's probably do outnumber others but like I said in my original 'thoughts on game' post a while back, Game's only been rapping for like 2 years. Any Jazz pianist or blues guitarist after two years of playing will tell you they're still paying dues. They're still doing covers. Mastering the classics. That's how people like Bob Dylan got good. It's part of black music tradition for those that respect the artform, you pay your dues before you toot your own horn and no one elses. This hip hop culture of homophobia and overblown machismo doesn't leave artists with much room to be respectful but I see what Game's doing and I see how it's part of his artistic statement at the moment and I respect that and like I initially said alot of rappers do it and I think it's unfair Game gets shit for that.

Now "get on your knees and give me head like it's 94" is dumb as fuck. I'll give him shit for that.

But u still don't get what most of us is saying.
It's aight to namedrop every now and then, but almost in every fucking song and many times in a song is tooo much.

i've made a grip of posts about this come to think of it, also rhyming names opens up new rhyme and sylabbic combinations...it's true, rhyming names and words gives you a whole other realm to rhyme with....it's meta cognition. the hip hop culture can't help but be aware of itself he's a sign of the times. he's the game, he is an embodiment of the rap game, that's his concept. paying dues, throwback to the early 90's. I mean I do see what you're saying but you just gotta go with the idea of Game to enjoy his shit, if you're giving it too critical of an ear then it ain't the record for you, I'm sure Nas or Sage Francis or some really ill rapper is speaking on something strikingly important and depressingly intelligent in another record....Me, I'm trying to smoke this blunt and listen to the chronic and I'm down to hear this other guy relatably spitting about smoking a blunt and listening to the chronic. it's just his thing, but there's some value in novelty to it. I'm gonna bump Bob Dylan when I'm 45,55,65....I can only enjoy Game now, so I may as well enjoy him while I can. He's mad enjoyable if you just go with it.
