In what seems like a never ending saga, Game is apparently upset with 50 Cent and G-Unit yet again. During a recent show, Game took the time to change up the lyrics to his classic song, "How We Do," and added in "Fuck G-Unit, they can suck my dick," before continuing on with the performance. Though Game and G-Unit have had a number of issues over the years, it's odd he would say this now, because last month on Power 106 he said it was cool the crew was back together again.

Game is currently working on his new album, Blood Money La Familia, which is due out on September 16, and is actually scheduled to go head-to-head with 50's Street King Immortal album if both of their scheduled release dates hold. —Zach Frydenlund

Wiz moved a solid 90,000 units in the first week, which was good enough to knock the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack to the second position on the chart after it had occupied the top spot the previous week. —Zach Frydenlund
