If you've been keeping up with hip-hop for the past week and change, Game didn't surprise you when he dropped the Jay-Z dis record "I'm So Wavy" this weekend. (Well, maybe
Game has never been shy about throwing darts. From his quarrels with the G-Unit to the Compton MC calling out video vixens, Game spits. This time, though, he's going against somebody he's cited as one of his influences. It's going to be interesting how things pan out. Rather than just report the news, I decided to team up with my partner Rahman Dukes to do what we do every day: talk about what's going on in hip-hop. Now, we're letting you inside the inner realm of MTV News' hip-hop team. "Jay's been a huge influence on him, as Jay has the entire hip-hop game," I told Rahman. "I guess this is a case where you're Kobe Bryant and you want to go up against Jordan." My P.I.C. Mr. Dukes wasn't sure if Young Hov would respond. We both appreciate what Game and Jigga bring to the table, but Rahman felt that Game playing Jay because of his age isn't a strong point in the dis song. "My thing was like, 'Jay ain't gonna respond to him,' because he wasn't talking nothing new," Rahman argued. "But you keep throwing all that Beyoncé talk in, I think homie might jump in there. I think Jay probably should just fall back from it. One thing I will say that I'm not appreciative of, and I don't think that anybody — especially a rapper, somebody that's responsible for pushing the culture along — it doesn't make sense to dis somebody because of their age. We should be celebrating how old Jay is and he's still in the position he's in. Same thing with LL. Rap is the only genre where you run into these issues." "You have to keep moving the culture along," I told him. "How you gonna tell somebody 38, 39, even 40 years old you have to retire? ... Jay is one of the, if not the, nicest on the mic right now. You can't fault him for wanting to make music. But I just heard an interview with Jay and DJ Drama. [Jay] says he's closing the Blueprint 3 out right now. ... I'm thinking we're gonna hear a response." This report is provided by MTV News
