The Game reveals his Top 5 rappers, features Eminem & Tupac.
The Game joins Nick Cannon Mornings to talk about his new album “Born 2 Rap,” his early retirement, what it’s like to be a lyricist, bringing Nipsey Hussle on his first-ever tour, album artwork, and more. The Game appeared on Nick Cannon Radio for an interview where he was asked to list his Top 5 Hip-Hop artists of all time. The Game says, “My Top 5 is, in no order, Tupac, Biggie, Jay-Z, Nas, and Em.”
Nick Cannon replied: “That’s unstoppable top five.”
He continues, “Those 5 guys are gonna be in everybody’s Top 10 for sure, and right after that, Snoop Dogg, Andre 3000, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne.”
The Game last released his album “Born 2 Rap” in 2019. The album comprises performers from a variety of genres, including Ed Sheeran, Miguel, Travis Barker, Dom Kennedy, Mozzy, Osbe Chill, TOBi, Red Cafe, Just Liv, Sly, Marsha Ambrosius, 21 Savage, and Anderson. Chris Brown, Trey Songz, J. Stone, Masego, Bryson Tiller, D Smoke, and Nipsey Hussle are among the artists on the bill. The project was also co-produced by Dom Kennedy and The Game. But the Game is said to be working on a 30 track album.
The Game remembered working with Eminem on the “We Ain’t” verse for Game’s 2005 debut The Documentary in an interview with HipHopDX. Em did not just throw a line and walk away, according to Game; he was thinking about the song as a whole, he wanted Game to understand how his verse fit into the image, and he wanted to show Game respect as a fellow rapper.
The Game’s fifth studio album, Jesus Piece, was released on December 11, 2012, through DGC Records and Interscope Records, and it was his last release on the label. Between Game’s third album, LAX (2008), and his follow-up, The R.E.D. Album, there was a three-year hiatus (2011).
The Game’s career came to an end in 2019 with the publication of his album Born 2 Rap, but he may be making a comeback soon. Wack 100, The Game’s management, has hinted at the possibility of a new album in the future. “Do I personally think he’s going to retire? I think not. I don’t think he knows how to,” Wack 100 said, according to All Hip Hop. “You know he’s got something for the people because he just felt like they needed it. It’s 30 Game joints–it’s kinda going to be like a Game playlist type set up. We’re calling it 30 for 30.”
Lil Wayne, Tupac Shakur, Royce 5’9″, Jay-Z, Redman, Treach of Naughty by Nature, Kool G. Rap, The Notorious B.I.G., Kxng Crooked, LL Cool J, Nas, Joyner Lucas, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, André 3000, Rakim, and Big Daddy Kane were among Eminem’s best rappers of all time.
For me, in no particular order… Toss up between wayne, pac, royce, jay, redman, treach, g. rap, biggie & king crook….

During his interview with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, Game stated that Kanye had done more for him in the previous two weeks than Dr. Dre has done throughout his whole career. Game expressed his displeasure with Eminem’s exit from the courtroom building during the Super Bowl halftime show. He then went on to say that he’s better than Em, despite his previous belief that he wasn’t. In a VERZUZ, the controversial emcee stated unequivocally that he will beat Eminem.

Eminem is in his Top 5 rappers, but The Game now dissed Em on his latest album The Black Slim Shady.
The rapper Eminem is mocked throughout the song by The Game, who mimics his flow and mentions some of his biggest songs while taking digs at him. It’s a song that pokes fun at Eminem’s past drug use and highlights concerns about his legacy of black culture given his dressing choices and propensity to associate with Black musicians. Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg, daughter Hailie, ex-wife Kim, Dr. Dre, and his parents are all mentioned. Big Sean is considered by The Game to be the finest rapper from Detroit at one point.
