In the new XXL magazine, Jay-Z talks about why he feels The Game is not even worthy of a response:

“I mean, Game, I’m his f—ing idol,” Hov says in the October issue. “If you ask him and he’s being truthfully honest with you … it’s just based off his insecurities and, for the most part, pretension. That type of competition doesn’t do…… anything for me. It’s almost like someone trying to set you up, and everyone knows they’re trying to set you up … it’s just dumb. It’s not in the spirit of competition, because he’s not competition for me. He’s not. Not then, not ever — he’d have to improve considerably. Competition for me is Nas, Eminem. Like Jim Jones? That’s ridiculous to me. So how do I respond to that? I can’t win. If I win, then they’ll be like, ‘See. Now chill. You’re a f—in’ bully.‘ And if manages to throw a haymaker from the West Coast, then it’s like, ‘Oooooh.’ It’s not even fun.”

I don’t know about you all, but if we were the Hip-Hop artist he is talking about in that article… we would feel obligated to ride on Camel now.

  • 2paclives

    To BLACKDIAMONDCENTER: Eminem not competition for Jay-Z, if I remember correctly it was Jay-Z himself who said the only 2 rappers on his level is Nas & Eminem, Jeezy? you kiddin’ me right, Eminem would murk that N#$%a in a battle & on a track, T.I. is a great MC but would never be on Em’s level, it’s funny how black people always got some ish to say about Eminem, probably it’s because a white man is better at the art then the actual race that brought rap to the forefront, he better than 95% of any african american rapper out right now, before anyone starts snappin there gums, I aint white, latino to the fullest, Eminem would put the nail to the coffin to your heroes like Lil’ Wayne, Kanye West, Drake, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, T.I., The Game, Fabolous, Gucci Mane, & the list goes on & on.

  • white male

    I personally like Game better

  • BLACKS DO IT BETTER!

    Everybody know the game is Bipolar. He’ll be apologizing to hov next week! LOL

  • Shoni

    lol.. I love Jay, good stuff… game is a LAMMMEE!!!!

  • Chi- Town Girl

    Jay’s name is in the cornerstone. He has earned his place in hip hop. Game spends too much time tryin to beef (hate)when he should focus on enhancing his talent. He has 3/4 albums and you can not compare them to Hov’s 10/11 albums. They are not on the same level. Game said Hov was his inspiration to start rapping, so why won’t he respect his elder?

    T-Pain also went on to say that Jay-z’s manager Jay Brown thought it would be a good idea for him to go on stage during the song, but after the concert Jay-z said during an interview that he didn’t know why T-Pain came up there and he thought T-Pain was a fan at first. He also said he had set up google alerts on Jay-z’s name to see if he would atleast once clarify that he wasn’t talking about T-Pain in the song during his interviews and he never did. T-Pain’s feelings were hurt because he’s a big fan of Jay-z’s so he dissed him in Vegas as a way to gain his attention and get Jay-z to finally address the situation. He tells Ed Lover, that he felt so much better after hearing Jay-z speak on it during his visit to the Ed Lover Morning Show yesterday Morning:

    I made it very clear I wasn’t talking about him. I think he’s talented, I don’t think he needs auto tune to sell records but if that’s his prerogative, everybody has a birthday. They don’t have much else to say, they can’t attack my credentials as an artist or my lyrics as an emcee.

    its stupid that everyone wants to take on Jay,not because he is big or even greater, but his credetials speaks higher soo much it deafens them…everyone knows Ether was a good joint just as Hit em up was a good joint, yet none of them sustained both rappers, 2pac passed on, Nas failed to live up to expectations… Jay stood still, went on to make records… on Blueprint 2 he does say i wont rest till u on one knee… somehow, Nas did go on one knee and kiss the ring… Beefs are started by stupidity, envy, power hunger and so forth..Jay is Smart, he is envied and he is well fed…the only reason he deosnt respond to beef is becasue either way he loses… imagine the time to make a dumb record, for people who envy u and who are hungry…intead of making good records, for people who u big up and then feed where u come from… he goes hard for BK and u all know that…
