    I have no idea where game got hooks beats for his first album. But you can tell by how crisp and high level they were. They were created for 50

    no way that s--- was developed for game. And if those beats and hooks were given to 50 he woulda made an album better than get rich

    50 did his own hooks

    If you go back and listen to the Doc, you can tell that 50 wrote some hooks, and verses.



    ^^^ fif wrote most of this 100%

    50 definitely had a huge hand in helping Game’s Documentary. A lot of those tracks could easily be another 50 album...with Dre/Em

    Game got to give 50 a lot of love...even after the beef...he needs to realize how important all those features and assistance 50 did for him early one...Dre was important of course but d--- 50 was there for a big portion of his early career

    Think the songs fif gave him were...

    Westside Story
    Special
    Hate it or love it
    Church for thugs
    Runnin
    How we do

    6 bangers... Replace the weak track from Massacre with those and you've got a classic. Possibly better than GRODT.

    If you throw in Outta Control Remix and this we're talking one of the best rap albums of all time. And this was supposed to be on it because for a long time the name of the album was going to be St. Valentine's Day Massacre

    absolutely..crazy how Dre/50 and Jimmy Iovine we’re so invested in Game...it worked out for them financially...but compared to other artists who didn’t get the same push as Game did with those heavyweights...guess the same can be said win Eminem and 50

    50 did the same with Banks, Buck, Yayo album...he definitely helped them...considering he would make money off of them...but Game exploded with Dre influence

    great interview.

    Game being dropped by Aftermath was definitely going to happen. Just ask everyone else on Aftermath that was dropped.

    god Dr.Dre Aftermath is a graveyard and used artists...

    50 definitely saved Game...and saw the talent he had to blow up

    I don't wanna sound like an old man but I really have more desire to go back to albums like this than to check out new music

    Facts


    They changed the name due to the album being pushed back. Massacre could have been f---ing phenomenal man, It's a shame... 50 is far too underrated.

    Game Would have been a great member if it wasn't for Henchman, 50 had beef with the guy... Jimmy Henchman put the battery in Games back to go after 50 which ultimately caused the beef between 50 and Game.

    Dre's a p---- if you think about it and assess all of his beef situations. Dude always got beat up or ran scared, Suge had him sweating for real lmao.

    big time. Dre is a snakey f---. Steals beats. Takes lyrics. Ruins more careers than makes more careers.

    but he is successfully and famous with the careers he assisted so he gets a pass and gets all the praise from hip hop and entertainment community

    ... totally forgot about jimmy henchmen...you are right...big reason for game vs 50

    Haven't got a link specifically, but hes mentioned for years off-hand here and there. If you watch some of his beauty of independence era interviews there's atleast one where he goes into a little bit of depth. Also in his book the 50th law he mentions how he'd be like "my way or nothing" when asked for certain singles etc.

    Also who remembers the s--- 50 would say about Jimmy Iovine on Twitter back in the day?

    I think he also cracked the s----s one day and was like "I'm leaking a dre track lol"

    I'm pretty sure I've got most of them on an old HDD somewhere. But I think I stopped downloading them at number 20 something. I'll have a look later, or tomorrow. Hopefully!
