The Game SLAMS J. Cole After Criticizing 'Watered Down' Rap Beef

The Game has openly criticized the current state of rap beefs, particularly targeting J. Cole for his recent apology to Kendrick Lamar, which he views as contributing to the dilution of authentic rap feuds. Speaking in response to a comment on social media by Joe Budden podcast co-host Lamar Ice Burney, The Game reminisced about the intensity of past rap battles, highlighting his own history of conflicts with prominent artists like 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Meek Mill, and Eminem.

The Game expressed disappointment in the softening of rap battles, metaphorically comparing the current state to "Kool-Aid with no sugar." He emphasized his readiness to elevate the level of discourse if provoked into a diss track, asserting his capability in crafting impactful and disrespectful bars. His remarks come amidst discussions of rap feuds, particularly following Kendrick Lamar's release of "Euphoria," a diss track aimed at Drake.

Despite his criticism of J. Cole, The Game also reflected on his relationships with other artists like Drake and Kendrick Lamar, showing respect for their skills while maintaining a neutral stance in their ongoing disputes. He described both Kendrick and Drake as incredible artists, underlining his appreciation for their contributions to hip-hop without choosing sides.
