Game's Love/Hate Relationship with Jay-Z is Mind-Boggling
Saturday July 11, 2009
Most people either love or hate Jay-Z. The Game can't seem to make up his mind. Game hurled subliminal disses at Jay-Z on "One Blood" and later changed it to a shoutout while performing the song at the BET Hip-Hop Awards, just 2 months later.
Less than week after apologizing to G-Unit for his issues with them, Game seems to have renewed his love/hate relationship with the Jiggaman. Why exactly the Compton MC remains eternally committed to whoring himself for attention is anyone's guess.
I don't expect Jay to respond, but I wouldn't mind if he did. It could be exciting or lame. Either way, both men would probably log a few more CD sales, with Blueprint 3 and Game's new album both on the horizon. After the hoopla dies down, Game will then apologize and move on to his next big name target.
