West Coast rapper Game officially co-signed Jay Electronica and likened the emcee to rap veteran Nas.
Game said he is including Jay on his upcoming R.E.D. Album.
“He just randomly popped up in L.A. and we went into the studio,” Game said about meeting Jay. “Originally, I had studio time, but then I had to record for Dr. Dre, so Puffy and Swizz Beatz crashed my session. When I got back, Swizz did a hook, then Jay did a verse and killed it. Jay tried to be humble and tell me, “You bodied me,” but I wasn’t having it. The things that come out of his mouth are crazy. I haven’t heard anyone spit like him since Nas.” (The BVX)
Nas, too, has publicly praised Electronica’s emcee skills.
“Ah man, it’s love man,” Nas said about rappers co-signing him as a main influence in their music. “It never ceases to amaze me, I’m just happy that I’m here and I’m happy that all the other dudes are out there. I’m inspired by all the guys you’re probably talking about. I’m inspired by them too…It’s all good, there’s all kinds of things going on now, it’s always shifting. One area of the world will dominate rap music and then Mid-West and The South and The West, it just rotates and everybody gets their say. [For new artists?] Jay Electronica, I’m really, I’m digging him right now.” (Young Hollywood)
While Jay is slated to appear on R.E.D., Game recently said Nicki Minaj did not make his album.
“No [she’s not on the album]. She was supposed to be and then we didn’t make it happen fast enough and then the song got leaked though and it was a wrap. She’s the most potent, new female hip-hop artist and we got one on this [West] side called Canary, she’s dope and on the mixtape so be on the look-out for her…[Ashanti] can sing her a** off. Anything she sings sounds like radio material, so that’s crazy.” (Rap-Up)
Earlier this year, Game talked about wanting to collaborate with pop superstar Lady Gaga.
“I’m trying to get [Interscope co-founder and chairman] Jimmy Iovine to throw me in the studio with Lady Gaga,” he explained in an interview. “She’s a rebel, and I go against the grain every day, so, if it happens, it’ll be monumental for the state of music…Dre and I have always been on the same team, I’ve just been too wild for him at times. He’s older and legendary and he’s been through enough drama in his career and doesn’t have to jump into my drama. So, I understood that and why he pulled back.” (ABC News)
The R.E.D. Album is scheduled to drop Tuesday, June 15th.
Check out a recent Game interview below:
But your rap career went down the toilet mainly because of this beefs, the writing is on the wall son,2003 is nomore..JUST DO MOVIES
All you talk about is 2003. What about 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
His rap career didn’t went down the toilet.
The majority of people who listen to Hip Hop are queers.
Word he really started falling after Curtis in ’07. I Get Money was like that last big pump before the heart stops
I get money was a miracle. Straight to the bank and amusement park were not doing so well..and IGG was meant as a mixtape remix to STTB…and it happened to blow up. Were it not for the showdown with kanye Curtis would have undoubtedly sold less.
I don’t mind if people don’t like 50. But if I see what frauds ass rappers they co-sign nowadays over 50 I doubt 50 really fell off. I still enjoy some of his music he been dropping like Complicated, They Burn Me, Flight 187 and also that OJ joint feat Kidd Kidd.
Nah you know what I mean bro. His level of perceived musical success has declined drastically.
It has declined but not to a level where you can say he is wack. 50 proved many times he still has what it takes to make a hit. But sometimes he drops garbage too yeah that I admit.
50 can never end up being wack simply because he never was ill. From the first time I ever heard him (97) to now he’s been the same. No growth so no peek to fall off from. It’s the people’s interest in him that changes. He’s always had the same content, wit and mic personality IMO of course
i bet if u had that same miracle u will be on a better job than playing internet hating here.
u have to clean your ears with Ronald Allen,s Toilet tissue paper. 50 was the king of biblical references back then. What are u saying that he never was ill? And for your info he is okay right now but not wacked. U want to know the definition of wacked look at yourself
i like all those songs too. if he does more of them he will be back on top.
While I’m at it I’ll look up the definition of Opinion for you ok?
I Never liked him anyways, so who cares, 5-0 is done just like another fraud name ross, I’ll be glad once this current rap genre fades off.
Because he just plain sucks as a rapper and he knows it.
that’s why i’m glad game killed his ass 300 bars was the destruction of that already shitty ass group.
only idiots thinks 50cent is still the same dude
50 will never be on anyone’s top mc lists, he’s not that good
Dude is wack PERIOD !
lmao!!!
The same dude or rapper? I’m talkin about his talent not him the person
he ain’t relevant in the streets for being a secret FBI INFORMER nor relevant in hiphop world for being WACK
U a g lol
Money over bitches because your gay you have no choice.. you still own that small business hahahaha fuking clown broke hater.
hahaha he’s mad because 50 uses a tredmill he’s against them.
But you commented 10 times on one post about him— undercover groupie…
50 can say whatever he wanna say. Fact is Fat Joe meant it when he said he wanted to knock 50’s new teeth out.
Obviously he meant it. When you’re battling, you really do want to do harm to the other person. But, sometimes 2 people just realize that it’s time to put bullshit or past problems to rest. They did the mature thing.
Yeah but I wouldn’t call this mature because if Chris was still alive the beef wouldn’t be squashed. Why couldn’t they do this while the nigga was still alive?
In that case I hope Dre will turn 200 because when he dies Game and 50 will probably squash their beef.
50 cent is garbage. He sings like a fag
what can be more gay than playing internet hating on every 50 cent post u see?
This is what people forget about. This shit is SPORT to these people. A rap beef in most cases is nothing more than 2 men disagreeing or 2 men trying to be better than the other. VERY RARELY is it personal and when it’s personal, THAT’S STREET SHIT. Most of the time, these rappers get past a certain foe and years later become friends with that person. It happens all the time. It’s only when it’s stuff like 2pac/Biggie or 50/Ja when it’s street serious. Most rappers who “beef”, you could call it the equivalent of a sibling rivalry.
Correction….Pac had beef with BIG…BIG never went after Pac lyrically…in interviews BIG always said Pac was his dude and that he couldn’t understand where the accusations and the anger Pac had towards him came from…Who Shot Ya came after alot of Pacs insults towards him, his wife and it was really a situation where BIG had to respond to all Pacs bullshyt if for no other reason than to save face
“Who shot you” came out before Tupac even got out of jail.
Forget? He did a song with Ja and you bitched about it. Petty shit
I would kinda of like to see this two work together
