The Game ain't really that whack

Thanks to me telling Ryder about the 300 bars :lol:

His mixtape is real good. I don't call somebody whack that can spit 300 bars without doing a chorus and just doing all out freestyling :lol:

He even dissed Mike Jones in it a little bit :lol:

I think The Game is wack and that's my opinion so you can't really say if it's true or not. :wink:

I've listened to his album a couple times (and obviously didn't like it) so it's not like I based my opinion on nothing.

Have you guys heard R.Kelly - Trapped in the closet ( Pt 1 -5 ) ? I think iz one of the best Movie type video and song. The song is kinda awkward but it's all good.

I just listened to it, its actually not bad. I'm not really up on the mainstream hip hop shit, but is the Game and Eminem cool, or are they "beefing" too? :lol:

McDonald's In Talks With Hip-Hop Designers For Uniforms

McDonald’s has already tapped into Hip-Hop music to help sell their food and promote their brand and now the fast food giant is in talks with Sean John, Rocawear and Fubu to give employee’s uniforms a makeover.

McDonald’s has hired music mogul Steve Stoute, who runs Translation Consulting and Brand Imaging to oversee the project.

The fast food giant’s aim is to make the employee uniform more desirable and to turn the clothing into walking advertisements for the McDonald’s brands.

“McDonald’s has evolved and become a lifestyle brand,” Stoute told AdAge.com. “Since it now is relevant to our lifestyle, let’s go one step further and make its employees relevant to our lifestyle as well.”

Other designers being considered for the uniform revamp include American Apparel, American Eagle Outfitters, Tommy Hilfiger and others.

In recent months, McDonald’s offered royalties to rappers who include the “Big Mac” sandwich in a hit record.

In that campaign, the artist who name checks the song in the song will be paid a royalty based on the amount of times the record is played on the radio.

Representatives said the initiatives are part of a broader marketing campaign to use Hip-Hop to sell their products.

The company also hired various rapper’s to perform at certain offline events and more recently, used the Kanye West produced single “Move Around” by Chicago rapper Bump J in a commercial.

I'm not sure exactly what's happened for them to start fighting again, but I know they did kiss (literally, or at least it looked like it in one of the pictures that was taken) and make up before they started this new hissy fit.

EDIT: Just saw that McDonald's thing. 'McDonald's has turned into a lifestyle brand'. What lifestyle, the "The only time I get off my fatass is to eat burgers and fries at McDonald's" lifestyle? What a travesty. :shake:

50 and GAME were never made up. The "kiss" thingy was only fake and even The Game or 50 even said it was.

Eminem???

Cool???

Beefing???

'Stevesanity' PM me with some tracks if you can ?

Its not like its on Mp3, their frikkin 40 mb .wav files.

Eh Melbourne, damn you need to move to New York, LA or Chi-Town soon or your missing on the best stuff. Commercial rap has become very poor these days with so many artists coming out, so if you want real good material you gotta move around the underground circuit in one of the foundations.

Sun Jul 10, 2005 8:48 pm

I'm on underground albums (MF Doom, Chief Kamachi, Grayskul, Non Phixion, Edan, Emanon...)...

Hey join my new site man, we'll talk more there
