50 and The Game are over, check the interview on Hot 97, it used to be on allhiphop.com audio clips. The Game disrespected 50 and refused to take on 50's beef with Jada, Nas, and Fat Joe + then THe Game went after Jay-Z in Europe then denied it.
No one is saying 50 Cent is an intelligent man, but I believe him when he says Interscope signed The Game (away from Bad Boy) then Dre and Jimmy kinda sat on him for 2 years, then asked 50 to get involved, which re-invigorated Dre and they finished the album. 50 claims he wrote 6 recods on the album and gave his lyrics to The Game, for which he was not credited (note the best 6 records on the album), doesn't say much for The Game as this album is not lyrically strong anyways, but very very very well produced including two of the best records from Just Blaze I've ever heard.
Also I'd say 50 Cent is more hip hop than rap.
I've got the new 50 Cent album, it's heavy, check out the Hate it or Love it Remix (track 22) right now it features a verse from The Game, I wonder if it still will when it drops next week........
