Jay-Z
has addressed The Game's recent
taunts and disses towards him and said while he is giving the rapper a
temporary pass, things could easily change on a case-by-case basis.
"I think he's been
posturing for this thing for a while," Jay explained. "I guess he
just took the fact that I said I'm not talking about him which is not a diss at
all. I figured that was his opportunity, he's going on tour and he's promoting,
or buzz or marketing or however people feel they need attention these days. So
it's no real problems behind it, it's no real challenge behind it. With the Nas
thing, that was a real thing, it wasn't done because of any marketing or
anything like that. I typically let those types of things slide but you know, I
could wake up tomorrow and just really go right in." (Big Boy's

The Game Breaks 50 Cent Cease-Fire,
"G-Unit Still Don't Get No Love, F*ck Them"
G-Unot!," Game shouted
to an Amsterdam
crowd at his concert last week. "G-Unit still don't get no love, f*ck
them. F*ck 50. F*ck Banks. F*ck Yayo. There's only three n*ggas left, when I'm
done, it's gonna be nobody. GGG GGG GGG-Unot!!! GGG-Unot! GGGG-Unot!
GGG-GGG-GGGG-Unot! F*ck G-Unit!" (Forbez DVD)
He previously apologized to the Unit and said
his past "G-Unot" taunts were due to his youth.
"Jimmy
[Iovine] always says, 'Man, I told you guys not to break up
the Beatles,'" Game said in an interview. "He says
he told John Lennon the same thing a long time ago. But I was
young, man. I was dumb. I did a lot of dumb things. I felt me and 50 clashed.
I'm not gonna diss 50. I'm not gonna go back on the plane. He had his side, I
had my side. I did what
I felt was necessary for me and my career to have
longevity and survive in hip-hop and music to be around when I'm Quincy
Jones' age -- not just be Quincy Jones' age, but be a
Quincy Jones.
Now, four albums in, I can honestly say from Banks to Young Buck
to [Dr.]
Dre to Yayo to whoever, if it would
have kept going, endless paper. Millions of albums sold --- because we were
great together. Me and 50's chemistry was like how Method Man
was to Redman when they get in. You know when Method Man gets
with Redman, it's going down." (MTV)
