The Game: A History Of Beef
After years of tension and subliminal jabs, conflict-obsessed rapper The Game got his wish when Jay-Z finally dropped his name while performing the Blueprint 3 intro. Never one to shy away from beef, rap fans knew it was only a matter of time before the Compton rapper responded, and sure enough early Saturday afternoon Game dropped a full-fledged diss song against Hov called “I’m So Wavy.”
It wasn’t a TKO in any sense, but don’t think Jayceon’s going to throw in the towel anytime soon. Dude has racked up more beef in the five years he’s been in the hip-hop game than, well, probably anyone. Don’t believe us? We’ve compiled all 25 of Game’s disputes into one comprehensive blog post, staggering evidence that the dude doesn’t play nice with others. Take a look back below…
THE GAME VS JAY-Z (2005 – Present)
• Cause: Who really knows? The Game has been dissing and praising Jay-Z since his first album. “Dear Summer”, particularly the DJ Clue version, was once viewed as Hov’s most open diss towards Game. They also traded subliminal lines on Game’s “It’s Okay (One Blood)” and Jay’s “The Prelude.”
The Game “I’m So Wavy”
Jay-Z “Blueprint 3 Intro (Live)”
• Effect: Game’s dream came true when Jay finally mentioned him by name during a live performance of Blueprint 3’s intro, prompting the “I’m So Wavy” diss.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
THE GAME VS VIDEO VIXENS (2006)
• Cause: On his Kanye West assisted single, “Wouldn’t Get Far”, the rapper called out Vida Guerra, Melyssa Ford, and Gloria Velez, insinuating that they only got famous by providing sexual favors. Game also claimed to have finger-banged Vida during a NYC radio interview.

Vida Guerra responds. [WATCH IT]
• Effect: Vida responded in a radio interview and disputed any sexual contact with The Game.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
THE GAME VS 50 CENT (2005 – 2009)
• Cause: Shortly after the release of The Documentary, 50 took a strong disliking to Game’s desire to work with some of G-Unit’s enemies. “300 Bars” was amongst Game’s first disses (of many) towards the Unit.

50 Cent “Not Rich, Still Lyin’”
• Effect: Dozens of diss songs, two failed peace treaties, several online videos, and one wounded entourage member later, The Game apologized to 50 Cent “as a man,” acknowledging that he “did a lot of dumb things.”
————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
THE GAME VS RAS KASS (2006)
• Cause: Ras Kass confronted The Game in an L.A. nightclub about lyrics he felt were directed towards his son. The situation got heated and led to Game supposedly hitting Ras over the head with a bottle, although that has been disputed.

The Game responds. [WATCH IT]
• Effect: Of course, that incident led to a diss from Ras Kass, but Game never responded, claiming that it would be a waste of time because his opponent’s career was already over. The beef was never formally squashed despite Snoop Dogg’s repeated attempts to mediate the feud.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
THE GAME VS BOW WOW (2008)
• Cause: Bow Wow proceeded to challenge his friend and known gamer, The Game. Okay, this is more of a digital beef than a real beef, but what’s the difference these days anyway?

The Game accepts the challenge. [WATCH IT]
• Effect: The Game beat Bow Wow in the Madden Showdown. Badly.

The original “My Life” wasn’t a diss to Em. He said he was so sad that Proof died that every time he looked at pictures of him and Em it reminded him of Proof. That’s why he burned ‘em all. Game didn’t want anyone to think he was dissing Em so he switched the lyrics.
unknownn September 5, 2009 at 11:48 am
Yeah, right! He’s just saying that he didn’t diss em, cause he realized that em would have destroyed his career, like he destroyed benzinos. the game is sissy punk.
George Clooney July 14, 2009 at 4:49 am
I mean this wholeheartedly, and with a great deal of hatred towards this man: Fuck Game and the hole he came out of. This dude is pure garbage in every sense of the word. He started out as a name-dropping drama queen, and over time, added obnoxious attention whore and mentally unstable fuckhead to his resume. Seriously, he’s brought nothing worthwhile to the table. He’s the Doc’s single greatest mistake outside of working with Jimmy Z back in the day.
angeldust bws July 14, 2009 at 5:48 am
this stupid website got like hidden link that appears all the time.. who made this?
And Game killed Vida in Gangsta Shit(You KNow What It Is Vol 4), rather than Woulnd Get Far.
As Well as Other Disses,And Game went in on Buddens 200 Bars.
What About Spider Loc 240 Bars…And Banks Soundscan?
miltee July 14, 2009 at 6:07 am
It’s the other way around — Game confronted Ras Kass about Ras Kass’s lyrics towards HIS son. It was before that Institutionalized mixtape came out.
Lu July 14, 2009 at 7:44 am
more than half the names u put here, the beefs dont exist. Game made a song with ja rule, jimy iovene is still his manager, suge night was at the video shoot for my life, game and em are the farthest from beef, and dont name everyone from g-unit one by one, just name g-unit
Lu July 14, 2009 at 7:45 am

peroni July 14, 2009 at 10:14 am

Juicy July 14, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Game is a punk simply because he disrespected a man’s WIFE! That was so uncalled for, Beyonce had nothing to do with that bullshit with him and Jay-Z. Where I’m from, a dude will kill you about his wife. To show u how stupid he is, Jay-Z name is in the cornerstone. Ppl will remember Hov for years to come. All this buffoon will be known for is neg things (beefing, getting kicked out of Gunit, being a studio gangsta) and the list goes on. Not to mention Hov would/could have a field day on his girl because she looks and dresses like somebody’s grandmother. He HAS lost a lot of fans behind this stunt. He is childish and selfish. He don’t want nobody on the West Coast to shine other than his weak ass. I hope Brazil Street Records, Glasses Malone, Bishop Lamont and all them dudes blow the f*ck up. He haven’t pushed one artist from BWS yet! This stupid asshole just sickens me!
Fantom July 14, 2009 at 9:05 pm
good shit to read, Game basically murdered everyone on this damn list. and yo for your information, the “My Life” line wasn’t an Em diss, that line is for Proof. He said that in an interview but your dumbass can’t follow.
Will. July 14, 2009 at 10:47 pm
No. Budden absolutely bodied him.
Maroonsista July 15, 2009 at 12:54 am
In regards to Vida Guerra: I wasn’t at either location so I can’t judge on who’s lying, but I will say one thing. It’s REALLY corny when a grown man has to tell everyone who he’s had sex with. I thought that type of thing died out in high school.
B.dot July 15, 2009 at 5:18 pm
This is too funny. I always thought Bleek came back hard at dude.
LBC July 21, 2009 at 3:54 pm
He is just ignorant, stupid and has no class at all. Having another race chanting calling a blk man a nigga. Thank you Jay-Z for being a gentleman and ignoring this desperate retard. I guess this will teach his silly self that with age comes wisdom. I am from Cali and we are not backing him on this one. Dude has lost a lot of fans behind this. Not to mention, his first bm is a hoodrat and the second one is an OLD HOODRAT. He wants to ride on Hov about his age and his second BM is/looks older than Jay-Z. Dude is straight wack!
shaq November 19, 2009 at 3:10 pm
game can be overdramatic and unstable at times i definately agree with that. but i can bump his shit on a consistent basis way more than fifties. and you guys gotta agree. the documentary was sick, doctors advocate was sick and i still havent listened to lax. but he has some nice ass classics. i know fifty makes more money, but for some ereason id rather bump games shit.
