The Game has sparked quite the conversation by declaring himself the top dog of West Coast rap, surpassing legends like Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast.
Most fans might argue that The Game’s prime passed during the Documentary era, yet he remains confident in his supremacy in the West Coast hip-hop scene. On a recent episode of Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay, he boldly claimed, “Can’t nobody out-rap me, man. No one has my skillset. I’m the best rapper in this town.”
When Sharpe mentioned iconic figures like Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg, The Game didn’t back down. He explained that he sharpened his skills by studying these legends. “I love Cube but Cube can’t out-rap me,” he stated. He further likened his journey to Kobe learning from Michael Jordan, suggesting that if they were contemporaries, the scenario might have been different. However, today, he stands unrivaled.
From Compton, a city that has produced stars like Kendrick Lamar and Eazy-E, The Game confidently declared himself the best. His assurance comes just ahead of his latest project, ‘Gangsta Grillz: Every Movie Needs a Trailer,’ adding more fuel to his claim. This mixtape, his first solo venture since 2022’s ‘Drillmatic,’ features collaborations with Mozzy, Jeremih, and others, though a planned piece with Kanye West was shelved.
The mixtape serves as an appetizing prelude to the highly anticipated ‘The Documentary 3.’ The Game revealed his inspiration to complete the trilogy, citing his grandmother’s wisdom about life’s three acts. He aims to honor her memory and convictions while proving his enduring prowess as a ‘God MC.’
With a conviction that cannot be ignored, he asserted that his creative energies remain unmatched. “Anybody knows anything about The Game, they know my pen is never slacking and my ability to put together albums completely is always top-tier,” he stated.
The Game’s declaration may stir debates, but his confidence in his abilities is undeniable, setting the stage for continued discussions about legacy and influence in hip-hop.
