This might be the most vulnerable I've EVER seen The Game in a interview. And it really shows a different side 2 him. Not present in this interview is the prideful, unapologetic, aggressively taking shots, and feeling he's owed something Game. In this interview, I saw a enterpenuer, a proud father, a businessman, a veteran and die hard historian in hip hop, and
lifelong gang member. This Game got emotional, spoke his truths, cleared up rumors, and did not diss or disrespect anyone throughout the entire interview. (50 cent included) This was 💯 real from his heart. No promotion, no antics. Jus a straightforward interview. I think it had a lot 2 do with producer Just Blaze who has watched The Game's transformation. And I think Game has a lot of respect 4 him as well.....
❤❤
This is an amazing comment and we're grateful for you seeing the show for what it's meant to be!
Love this interview thank you ❤
@Majwho - Great points, and I commend you on your comment. Game was still a little defiant about how much the contributions of 50, Dre, etc. had on his career. I have no doubt that someone as talented as Game would eventually make it, but you'd have to be slow to think being co-signed by Dre and having the hottest rapper in the game assist you with your debut and even appear in a video didn't propel him further than the average cat that got signed. Those co-signs push you past the regular joe and into superstardom because it makes you seem like a star before you really are. To this day: Those 50 cent-assisted songs are his most popular and would've been hits without him.
I agree 💯 and it makes u wonder what it, bcuz if they had stayed 2gether, I'm sure they would be up there with the best groups of all time. East coast, midwest, and West coast all in same group. Never again. But they couldn't get it right, I don't think they even have a song with all 5 members on it.......#damnshame
The way Katty is able to bring these two legends together with her pure energy and talent is everything. Love this. 🔥🔥🔥
I totally agree🎯
Ayyeeee! Thank you so much! ♥️🙏🏽🔥
No doubt i like Katty's cool demeanor & humor.
This show has such a 🔥 concept.
We think so too!
Woohoo ♥️
Yes, indeed! It’s really a SAD thing to see so many COMMITTED Game-Haters in the comments here where it is extremely inappropriate, immature and even disrespectful.
The Game n Just Blaze were my superteam growing up 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
❤️
A squad for sure
I gained a respect for Just Blaze with The Game’s projects that I didn’t have for him when he was with The Roc (although I lose my shit over that MOP jawn: “fiya, Fiya, Fiya! Fiya!! FIYAAAAA!!!”
Church for Thugs, No more fun and Games, Remedy, Superman and Why You Hate the Game. Yeah they were definitely a dope superteam
Game a legend 💯 and he’s living! Give da man his flowers 💐 now! Much ❤!!! 💯
❤️
♥️♥️♥️♥️
We're def here to give him flowers!
Love when I can learn something like “wow” from an interview and finding out that The Game never had a Dre beat is a wow moment. That’s part of why this show goes hard!
🔥
Yeah them shits is ACTIVE!!! It’s really annoying this media campaign going on right now to deny The Game HIS THINGS (pause) despite his UNDENIABLE place in the West Coast Lineage, and contributions to Hip Hop and Culture as a whole: he clearly has ACTUAL Haters, jealous ones, shook ones, and those who have a vested interest, even OBSESSION with humbling him-it’s a filthy game out here.
Them 1’s is Cold tho.
This dude is a top tier lyricist. I fk with him musically.
Agreed! ♥️💯
He's a rhymer for sure. And some of the best storytelling tracks out there.
@@uproxx that 1992 album was 🔥. He's like a west coast Nas.
Slept on for sure
Game always has been a problem, and BEFORE it became clear that he could not be controlled as much as whomever dictates to Jay and Dre and 50 and Em would’ve liked; nor dance the jig other xiggas feeling threatened wanted, most every major voice in the rap game such as Envy, Flex, etc. SAID SO….then the industry politics X gave us a legendary poem about, and which he bore in his own body, kicked in.
No one this late in human history should be playing dumb about WTF it really is out here.
But it’s cool I’m gonna go through the discographies of all four top-to-bottom (Dre’s OWN albums) and properly prepare to hear this bar-for-bar battle, should Em decide to cut the BS I’m-so-above-you-I-don’t-have-to-justify-the-title-I-stole-from-Rakim Twitterbanging/Social Media diversionary and discrationary game he is playing. C’mon Rocky, hop in with Clubber Lang 😅😅😅
Overall, people need to THINK more and stop treating Jayceon Terrell Taylor like he’s some inherently inferior nothing who should be grateful if Dre or 50 so much as spits on him in a fire, or if Em blesses him with the opportunity to lick his underboot.
The game is too real for the industry…i remember 2004 he was signed to Dre and 50 he still lived in Cedar Block WESTSIDE Compton with his brother big fase 100 you could see him hangin around with bloods and friends … they also came to shoot his range rover with bullets on his son seat…CERTIFIED
BOOM.
I am so over it how many grown people are not actually adult enough to register this intellectually, AFTER EVERYTHING WE'VE SEEN FROM UHMRCA JUST OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS LET ALONE OVER MORE THAN 2 CENTURIES. There is no excuse for people old enough to have children of their own to be this SLOW or just LAZY.
There IS an ultimately powerful group of NOT-THE-CREATORS, who are only down for COSPLAYIN’ gangsta shit (which gangs are NOT ALL NEGATIVE, especially when one knows the proper history); it’s hypocritical as fucc bcuz both Dre and Jay have a violent streak but their million-dollar PR Teams play that shit down or try to make it go away.
Sheeple who just wanna bend and drop it when yttie say so after he come back from playin’ around on the Moon with workers’ money need to put some respecc on The Game’s UNDENIABLE status as an elite emcee, a CRITICAL link in the West Coast Lineage, and his contributions to Hip Hop & Culture as a whole or STFU.
Too Real?!?!? The guy who tatted a butterfly by his eye to symbolize new life and then covered it because everybody clowned him for being a battyman?!?!? That's real?!?!?!
What was your favorite moment in this episode??
His Nipsey story was very real, very painful and genuinely heartfelt.
@@auntginny 💯 RIP Nip 🕊️ 💙
@@auntginny Ave apt 10 a r
Can y’all show love to anyone in BONE THUGS?? Those guys been blackballed by the industry for so long… they made a HUGE impact on Hip hop 💯💯
Turn from sin.
Admit you are a sinner in need of a saviour. Admit your sins and ask Jesus Christ for forgivness. For the sins that you know of and the sins that you don't. John 1 9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Believe that Jesus died died on the cross and rose again after 3 days as a payment for your sins. John 3 16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Confess that Jesus is Lord. Commit yourself to a life of following Jesus Christ.
Romans 10 9 - If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.
Romans 10 13 - Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
The kiss one was awesome. This series is dope.
LOVE THAT ENERGY!

A Game and Just Blaze collab tape would set the streets on fire
lol that slogan sounds soooo 2005, the streets on fire lol!!!
Yep! Game has been very versatile in his collaborations down through the decades, for people to be out here talking as if Dre wrote Game’s raps or him or 50 all through his career-especially when Dre didn’t even build the beats, he basically just mixed them (like how Yé is a producer himself giving Jay his most beloved tracks but he wanted Dré to mix what was already created)-is just disrespectful and based in something other than simple facts and Game’s EARNED status as an Elite Rapper. Too many don’t even understand what a Producer IS and the levels to a production. Sheeple need not comment.
Thank you, Game, for sharing with us...Merry Christmas to the Crew and you. Looking forward to next year's seasons of new music and videos.
He's in a good place and maturing in New ways these Days.
The Game said, "The person before you always inspires you." May the collaborative spirit between Just Blaze and Katty serve as an inspiration to others! Together, we can do and master anything!!!!
❤️❤️
That’s the right energy!!
Yasssss I love this ♥️♥️♥️
Just Blaze produced one of Games 🔥🔥🔥 furnace joints: Why you hate the game.
This is Insanely Classic! Show and episode 🔥🔥🔥
Nice kicks and great interview. I've been bumping Game's new joint in the gym for a while now and it's dope. He gets better with every album by choosing tight productions and bringing more conscious substance lyrically. Good work. RIP Nip.
🔥🔥
Glad you like the show and concept. We dropping new episodes every Wednesday.

Idc what anyone says, The Game is definitely a OG legend, him and Just definitely got some 🔥 joints together

This is how he should’ve followed up his drink champs statement at the time … y’all killed this interview getting his thought process on his statements and life moves without closing at clickbait
When you say, "how he should've....." what do you mean?
very good interview I watched it all
Game and JustBlaze make dope tracks together.

Great interview
I agree
Let’s get ‘The Scientist’ - Nas on here, interviewed by Just Blaze!!
🔥
BRO Its Good To See Just Blaze & The Game together They Make some Great music together What yall know about (Why You Hate The Game Feat Nas) Beautiful Song
🎯🎯🔥🔥
🙌🙌🙌
They have no such song, Sir; however, they do have a song called "Why You Hate The Game" featuring Nas & Marsha Ambrosius.
I actually think it was apropos for you to say it just as you did, a kind of a proxy Freudian Slip, in this moment, though; because you were only missing one VERY key word in the title and there must come a maturing in public conversations about somebody like The Game and therefore, FOR MANY, and admission that they just WANT to hate on him. Too many are committed to their biases against him specifically--whole time, half the line of them didn't even consciously, thoughtfully select those biases.
I'm so glad Jayceon still has Miss Lynette and other family--especially his beautiful Black Children--while he is making the MOST COURAGEOUS PUBLIC MOVE of his career, with so many tons of sheeple taking a notion to speak all kinds of inappropriately, ignorantly and disrespectfully about him.
@@0Lu.Lu0 what the hell are you talking about the song is on his second album the doctors advocate....plz do not comment with this bull
@@firethetruthmarcuscarrollE.T.R
I am talking about exactly, what the hell, I said.
In the future, you might want to make sure that when you go back and type in that one word you left out of the correct title of the song, that you don't leave the parenthetical notification next to the history info for when you originally posted--you know, the one that says, "(edited)"--no shame, just maybe type a bit more slowly next time.
This is why I always take screenshots.
Goodnight.
Daammm those jordan are dope
My favorite show on YT. 🔥🔥🔥
I love the thought and explanation behind each detail of the shoe !!👏🏻🔥 The Chocolate Raspberries are going to be hard to top but I can't wait to see!!!

These vids reawakens my love for kicks. Cat or Kay is an amazing artist(also an artist not nearly as talented tho) but yea I love her designs. And shout out to the initial designer of the Jordan 1’s. That shit is timeless. A real genius made that first design. No idea who it was tho
The Game Always Kick Some Good Knowledge
nas might of been the first to put himself as a child on a album cover then biggie did thts why raekwon said biggie biting nas ish .....
😮 I never knew that!
Nas and Big albums both dropped the same exact year.
Yo, babies as Artists' muse, that's a whole segment in itself. Adds another layer of significance to what Timbo did with Aaliyah's joint.
Man shout out to this show shout out to the Game && Long Live NH Nip💙🏁🌴🔥
Look at my black people being successful. Word up 🔥
❤ Definitely love the shoe
Awesome ‼️
Another legendary episode in phenomenal design by The Artist Katty. I hope she is creating art in all genres. I wonder if Katty created a Basquiat Jordan 1 what would that look like? 😁
😁😁
Thank youuuu! Truly appreciate it. Basquiat JORDAN would be insane! Maybe be something I do next ♥️🔥
Unity Jordan 1s ♥️💙
good name!
🔥🔥
Just blaze is such a hypebeast. Geez
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love that fabric
❤️❤️
Nipsey is a god 🙏 god bless nip and his kids and wife!¡
❤️❤️
This is nice show on TH-cam I need a pair of some kicks made for me.
Class Interview GAME Best Rapper Alive 🎤👑 Been a Game Fan From Day 1 Have All His Albums Hoping Drillmatic Comes Out On CD 🤞 Those 2pac Juice Boots Are Class 👌 and Those Game Trainers Are Dope AF 🔥 Closest Rapper To 2pac 🎤🐐 The Rap World Has.
Yo man, when I first heard Drillmatic, I couldn't believe it!!! Real Ones who recognize Real Ones and KNOW WHAT RAP AND HIP HOP ARE TRULY ALL ABOUT, can only be HONEST and at very minimum say that dude Game snapped on a whole other level! This dude went into some other compartment of his psyche, grabbed a sledge hammer, and got to John Wickin' on the ground floor of what people THINK THEY KNOW about what he's capable of😱 There are those of us that kinda always felt Game had some extra BEAST stashed away for critical defining moments though. That he released this caliber of quality AFTER Born 2 Rap (which I didn't immediately like as well as I do now, for me it was more of a grower than Drillmatic). One of these days (and I'm gonna do my part) The Game is gonna be properly recognized for his RANGE, he IS a Mike Tyson Rapper, cuz if you remember, the biggest thing that made Mike Tyson the "Baddest Man On The Planet" was that he was "a complete fighter"--he had discipline (early on), he had self-awareness, he had a proper study of the Greats who came before him, he had SPEED (which technically no Heavyweight should have), he had a very particular kind of intimidation factor, which comes from a combination of hardship and charitable rescue FROM that hardship and psychology (this had to compensate for something like pedigree, like Floyd Mayweather has).
But yeah, I'm excited for people to hear it--really hear it--they gotten xll the outside noise from those who are committed to hate on him first!! I truly believe too many people give 50 and EM too much credit, off NOSTALGIA and THAT other factor, which is ALWAYS a factor in American culture--dis xigga 50 already feels to me (pause) like his time has passed!!! Game got more rounds and mf's betta put some respek on that.
Wow, the TATTO story is great!
Right? They legit didn't know!
🔥🔥
love how she hype her own shoe doesnt matter if the guest fucks with it or not
What is this man talking about it? Dre credited for production/co-production on the Intro, Westside Story, Higher, How We Do, Don't Need Your Love, Start from Scratch and Don't Worry. Unless he implying Dre slapped his name on those beats.
He's talking about making the beats vs. using a variety of producers and then overseeing things to get the tracks how he wants. He breaks it down pretty clearly, though we totally see how it's causing some rap-fan chaos!
@@uproxx didn't know you been there in the studio.... you have all the answers...show receipts
@@CLINTM007ROBLOX All you have to do is look at Pac's interviews about it, and Daz's interviews about him getting credit for all the beats he done. It happens when you follow a one-sided story.
21:39 Say what now? Dr. Dre produced how we do and hire from the documentary. And I'm pretty sure it's a few others I can't think of at the moment.
They made Game the best pair by far!!!!!!!!
Cool episode but i gotta ask where game got them shades though
He shouted out th Mexicans w th cortez lol facts tho good interview

JUST BLAZE🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
He always has a change of mind he said his favorite pair were the concord 11s.
