West Coast rapper Game is letting Shyne know he's ready for war, continuing to dismantle his former comrade's image and make accusations about his time behind bars.
Sarcastically saying he is scared of the rapper’s threats, Game hit the former Bad Boy Records star with a flurry of insults.
“I’m very nervous, man, Shyne is on the Top 10 Most Wanted list, F.B.I.,” Game said in an interview. “It started, he came at Kendrick Lamar, that’s my little homie — plus the [good kid, m.A.A.d city] album was a good album, he said it was trash. So I had to jump out the window on him and step up for my Coast. Doing ten years in jail, dropping soap everyday, being a little lowkey butt pirate for ten years, it can change your life. Certain things going up in ya for ten years, you come out a different guy. Feeling different, rapping different, ‘Game isn’t a Blood. Big Boy, he can’t see Shyne Po. I’m in Paris. I’m with the fairies.’ … You just can’t beat that guy.” (“Big Boy’s Neighborhood”)
Last month, Shyne dropped his “Bury Judas” diss aimed at Game’s head.
“This little busta named Game wanna rhyme like Po, so rhyme like go/ I rhyme like I be climbin’ out that Rolls/ The nine I let it blow, put five up in ya clothes/ Headshots leave ya slumped reclining through ya door, oh,” he spits over rolling drums and eerie synths. Shyne goes on to charge that Game patterned his career and rap style after the MC who made an equal amount of waves in the booth and in the news following his involvement in the infamous 1999 Club New York shooting. “Smokin’ a Cuban, twistin’ up my sidelocks/ These sideways rappers, hit ’em with them side shots,” Shyne starts his second verse before firing off: “I shoot the butterfly off your face/ And tell Jesus peace, smile at your wake.” (RapFix)
The track turned out to be a response to Game’s Shyne diss, “Cough Up a Lung.”
“Let’s address that b*tch a** n*gga going at Kendrick/Say the album’s trash, n*gga you full of gas / Poke holes in you, let you fill up a New York cab / N*gga in Belize all into his feelings ’cause he did 10 years for shooting at the ceiling / Then he gave you a mil, little n*gga should have chilled / Cute curly sideburns, talkin’ ’bout he real / Check my resume, any n*gga want it, I bury ’em / Butt f*ck this n*gga, he can’t get into America.” (“Cough Up a Lung”)
Prior to the back-and-forth, the former G-Unit member warned of repercussions to come if a battle continued.
“Whenever a shot is taken at Kendrick, I think that’s the pool I’ma dive in head-first, whether there is water there or not,” Game said in an interview. “Personally, I think Shyne should just back away and let the kid breathe and if not, I don’t know, we might find ourselves face-to-face or sh– that nobody really wants to see happen. Kendrick is non-confrontational, he’s not a thug, he’s not a gang banger, he’s just a dope, hip-hop lyricist, but he’s from the streets and he got a lot of ties out here and a lot of good hood n—as with him and I’m one of them.” (MTV)
