There are too many carnivorous in hip hop. Everyone loves BEEF way too much. Who didn't see this coming?
50 Cent booted The Game out of G-Unit Monday night.
And just as he's kicking Game out his clique some one gets shot outside of Hot 97. Coincidence? I think not. The authorities now say the victim is not affiliated with G-Unit but now the authorities have stated that the victim is a native of Compton, the hometown of The Game.
Hot 97 has identified the victim as Kevin Reed an associate of Game, police said. Reed, 20, of Compton was shot once in the upper leg-groin area and grazed twice – once in the leg and shoulder, police said. He was treated and released from St. Vincent's Medical Center yesterday.
I really hope this doesn't go the way of Bigge and Pac. Game just wants to make music and feed his family he didn't want any trouble. The beef that 50 has with Jada Kiss, Fat Joe and Nas is his own beef. Game isn't 50's boy (as Interscope would like you to believe)
This is all Jimmy Iovine's (the founder of Interscope records) fault.
Game was originally signed solely to Dr. Dre's Aftermath imprint, working on his album for a couple of years before Interscope Chairman Jimmy Iovine proposed bringing Game into the G-Unit fold. Iovine talked to Dre, who called in 50.
"They came up with the idea that I should roll with G-Unit because they already have a crazy buzz and they selling albums," Game told MTV last spring. "They got the East and they got the South; I'm from the West, obviously. I'm young and I'm hungry just like them. 50 is still in the streets, he's still hungry, still blowing up, and [Lloyd] Banks and [Young] Buck are doing their thing, so why not put the kid from Compton with these cats since they already out there? All they missing is the West Coast, and then you have a universal group."
"Game had actually been on Aftermath for two years before they gave me the opportunity to do the project with Dre," 50 told MTV in January. "I think creatively they were stuck a little, but then when I was brought in we were able to add new energy. They got excited about the project, brought him out, we recorded like nine records at the house in Farmington, [Connecticut]. He went back to Los Angeles with the records, Dre liked them, and I just got him re-motivated and he went in and finished up the album."
With Dre and the rest of Interscope fully behind Game's The Documentary, 50 said he felt neglected when it was time for his The Massacre LP to get it's proper attention.
So again I ask why should Game be loyal to 50? 50 started a beef with Far Joe and Jada Kiss months ago when he released a mixtape song called Piggy Bank what business is it of Game's to get involved with this? I really hope no one else gets hurt as a result of this. This whole thing reminds me of what Pat Reily once said.
"When elephants fight it is the grass that suffers."
Special thanks to MTV.com for providing some insight on this matter.

I agree. It used to be if a cat in your crew had beef with another rapper and you didn't want to get involved, that was OK. Now 50 is dissing cats simply because theyassociate themelves with Jah Rule?? That shit is silly.. Great blog..
Co signing with Humanity Critic! That's some elementary school antics to ask someone to sign on to some beef you have with someone else. I mean, if he's supposed to be the shyt and whatnot then why does he need a whole crew? Bully. Anyway, I can see this is gonna be blogged about, talked about and watched for a min. I really hope this doesn't escalate. I mean, losing Big and Pac was a blow to the industry.... and we wouldn't want anything like that to happen again!
