  • The Game: “Ye did more for me in the last two weeks than Dre did for me my whole career”

    The Game: “Ye did more for me in the last two weeks than Dre did for me my whole career”

    The Game appears on a forthcoming episode of REVOLT’s ‘Drink Champs’

    The game is talking about everything: from his rap career to his newfound relationship with Kanye West that’s been elevated over the course of the last month or so.

    The Game, 42, has been vocal about his respect and appreciation for Dr. Dre throughout the duration of his career. However, in a Drink Champs snippet of the forthcoming episode, it appears that The Game feels Ye has done more in a shorter time span.

    “It’s crazy that Ye did more for me in the last two weeks than Dre did for me my whole career,” he said.

    Most recently, The Game and Ye linked up for the track “EAZY,” which put more eyes back on the game, likely building up the right amount of buzz for his Drilluminati album.

    Animosity also finds itself lingering throughout Game and Dre’s relationship after the recent Super Bowl Halftime Show. Dre brought out Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, and Mary J. Blige. Many wondered where Game was, and, does he fit into this mold? However, Game didn’t have any personal issues around the matter and was focused on working on Donda 2 with Ye.

    I’m in Miami to help Ye’ finish Donda 2 & support my friend in one of the most pivotal times of his life/career. Leave me & my name out of any NEGATIVE conversations unless I have given you a REAL reason to include me,” he wrote.

    “G-Unit Film and Television has thrived by telling real stories. As I continue to grow my current slate, premium non-scripted programming will be a major focus. Hip-hop loves things that are damaged. This series will shed light on the artists that didn’t make it through the struggle,” Fifty said.

    Fif has truly created his own universe with his G-Unit Film and Television. Power and BMF are powerful

    Scott-Young added, “50 and I created this show in response to the disturbing number of murders in hip-hop. With this boots-on-the-ground investigative series, we will look to closely examine and explore leads surrounding these cases with the hope of finally providing loved ones with answers.”
