Is The Game Beefing With Jay-Z?

The West Coast Rapper comes hard at Jigga for the 2nd time

In a fashion usually reserved for "beef master" 50 Cent, The Game has been cooking up some serious beef lately. But can he really match wits with his "target?"

The Game Starts Beef With Jay-Z

During a recent interview with Phoenix radio station 104.7, The Game decided talking reckless about one of the game’s hottest MCs would be a good idea. His target? None other than Brooklyn’s own, Jay-Z.

According to Chino, the show’s host, Jay had previously said that he would rather see the rapper “commit suicide” before engaging in a lyrical altercation with him.

"I'm too disrespectful for Jay-Z, I go too hard. His beef is mediocre beef, it's more swag and less hardcore," Game said. "Me, I go in on your grandma, your kids and your girl....it will get ugly and I don't mind. I have a whole coast to back me. My coast will turn their backs on whoever I turn my back on. So basically, let me commit suicide because I'm the only cat to commit suicide and resurrect every time. So for Jay to say that about me, that's cool man because he'sJay-Z and I'm just lil ol' Game But if you **** with me I'll turn to a beast, and I'll rip ya head off, bust ya lips," Gamesaid.

"I can be a fan of Jay and still rip him limb from limb lyrically and still be a fan. After I finish him off, I'm still going to listen to 'Reasonable Doubt' afterwards. I'll kiss Jaygoodbye with his own lips. I'm going to make him mad enough to where he has to say something. Jay imma make you so mad you gonna have to diss me...[laughs] I need him to do it, I got an album coming out; help me."

Will Jay-Z Respond To Game?

This is not the first time Game has come at Jay-Z’s neck. In a previous interview he was quoted as saying, “Memph Bleek can suck my d*ck/Beanie Sigel can suck my d*ck/Jay-Zcan suck my d*ck/Roc-A-Fellacan suck my d*ck." With such disrespect being slung around at Jay and his crew, fans thought the beef had officially begun. But Jay never responded.

Fans are convinced, most likely by Jay’s impressive catalog of incredible music, that it is not a matter of Jay not being lyrically up to the challenge. But no one really knows the truth as Jay won’t even address it in interview. No one has ever publicly admitted it, but maybe Jay was already well aware of Game’s motives to sell more albums.

Either way, the question now becomes: Have the days of using beef to sell records come and gone? If so, how damaging will The Game’s antics become to his career?

Only time will tell as his much delayed album "L.A.X. (Life and Times)" is set to his stores on August 26.
