The Game gave the beginning of his VERZUZ with YG a little punk rock flair by bringing out a special guest: Travis Barker.
On Thursday (July 23), the much-anticipated event with the two Compton rappers began (after the ceremonial coin flip was changed to a more appropriate dice roll) with The Game performing his LAX track “Dope Boys.”
The Blink-182 drummer came out of the wings to sit down on a drum set and play along with the track, pounding out the beat and even ending with a dramatic short solo, which he kept going despite dropping a stick midway through.
Fans flipped out over the surprise appearance.
You can watch the event on Apple Music or below on YouTube.
