The Game

The Game has returned with his 10th album, 'DRILLMATIC Heart Vs. Mind', with a 10-minute diss against Eminem titled 'The Black Slim Shady'.

The scorching track opens with a skit led by an Uber driver named Matthew, who’s revealed later in the song to be the brother of Stan, the subject of Eminem’s titular 2000 hit. The second ‘DRILLMATIC’ single, ‘Violence’, was released back in June. ‘DRILLMATIC Heart Vs. Mind’ was released today (August 12) via 100 Entertainment/MNRK, and features 31 tracks spanning 119 minutes.

There's even a skit woven throughout the song where the Game takes an Uber driven by Matthew, the brother of the protagonist of Eminem's song "Stan." Lyrics in the song specifically address Eminem's issues with addiction, cultural appropriation, and the perceived drop in quality of Eminem's more recent music.

"So pass me the torch 'cause the torture in my mind\/With the voice that define rhymes, were forced to blind eye\/Done see the owls in a white Rolls Royce with five .9's\/When you was pretendin' to be the white Royce da 5'9"."There are plenty of other disrespectful bars here, especially as The Game takes a swipe at none other than Eminem's daughter, Hailie. These cheap shots are seemingly coming out of nowhere, and fans are not impressed with the direction The Game has gone in.\r\n\r\nAs you can see in the various comments below, Twitter users had mostly negative reviews for the track. One fan even said "The Game claimed he Never bumped Eminem's albums only for him to mention Eminem's whole life and use his flow as a supposed diss track then titled it - THE BLACK SLIM SHADY. Bro that's a tribute to Em." Another person said "How is it that Eminem is the one that got ‘dissed’ by The Game for ten minutes yet I’m the one sat here feeling disrespected bc I actually wasted my time listening to this?" This has led to lots of online criticism over the last few years, and when he announced a 10-minute Eminem diss track, you can be sure that fans were chomping at the bit to let their feelings be heard.\r\nIn the end, The Game's new diss track felt more like a tribute than anything else.

The Game's track 'The Black Slim Shady' has many wondering if he was involved in a beef with Eminem back in the day.

He not. Whether Eminem and The Game have beef or not, the diss track sure has gathered a lot of traction mostly because it’s a result of a one-sided beef. He not.

“The Black Slim Shady” is a full-on Eminem parody, with Game imitating Em's voice and cadences, making constant references to Eminem songs. There's a narrative ...

In a number of mid-song skits, we learn that the Game is taking an Uber to Eminem’s house in Detroit, and the driver is Matthew, the little brother from Em’s song “Stan.” On the track Game namechecks Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, and he also implies that he’s kidnapped Eminem’s daughter. Game ends the song by nakedly begging for relevance: “Mr. Shady, don’t be shady/ Pick that pen up, don’t be lazy.” That last part really illuminates the motive of this whole stunt. But the song that’s already got the most attention — the song that seems explicitly designed to get the most attention — is “The Black Slim Shady,” a 10-minute diss track aimed at the Game’s former collaborator Eminem. Em produced and rapped on “ We Ain’t,” one of the songs from the Game’s 2004 debut The Documentary. On that song, Game rapped about Eminem being “one of the greatest.” But as Pitchfork points out, the Game has been teasing an issue with Eminem for a few months. There’s a narrative spine to the song. The Game has a long and tortured relationship with Eminem’s buddies Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, but his history with Eminem is limited.

It's this faff, this limbering-up, jogging on the spot, starting grid wheel-spin work-before-the-work that is part of the joy of a good mop-up. But not all Pokémon can learn False Swipe! So you might need to catch one - and you might need to find the item that lets you teach False Swipe in the first place. Catching Pokémon is easy on paper but in practice it is as hard as you want to make it. This is a lot like trophy and/or achievement hunting but there is a crucial difference, which is, also, another ever-present of a good mop-up: it has to be intrinsically satisfying. This makes it a bit more long-winded than completing a regular regional or national Pokédex, because you couldn't just catch, say, one Abra and then evolve it into Kadabra, then Alakazam, crossing off all three at once - you need one of each in your possession simultaneously.

The Game's failed to get Eminem on a Verzuz battle ... so now he's trying to bait Slim Shady into responding with a diss track.

Game released his long-delayed "DRILLMATIC: Heart vs. Mind" album with 31 tracks ... but the song everyone is talking about on social media is the 10-minute Eminem diss song "The Black Slim Shady." The Game Disses Eminem & 50 Cent on 'The Black Slim Shady' Song

The Game takes hard swings at Eminem on the bruising 'Drillmatic: Heart vs. Mind' track 'The Black Slim Shady.'

The avalanche of disdain appears to make a stop at Em’s sartorial sense (“the sweatpants, the dad hat, do-rag and no jewelry”) and skin-care regimen (“did you re-dye your beard or get another face lift or do shrooms in your mom’s basement”) before going out on one more haymaker. “So ficky-ficky Slim Shady, please, stand up/ Shoot the fade with me, I’d love to put these hands up/ I could .40 Glock you, unarmed/ Drop the world on your head with one arm,” Game continues before making it super personal, taking a shot at Marshall’s’ vaunted place on the MC G.O.A.T. list. “Well, I’m cleanin’ out your closet for you and your half-brother/ And I told you when I was in Detroit, I wanna go to 8 Mile/ ‘Cause when I was little to get some M&Ms, I had to walk eight miles/ But you wouldn’t leave the studio, your life is on loop/ That’s why I’m doggy in style, ’cause n—as rather bump Snoop,” Game adds before taking another swing at the reclusive Dre. “Hello? Hello?/ Pagin’ Dr. Dre?/ He ain’t got a lot to say/ But since Curtis [50 Cent] always do, let him write the rhymes for you.” “You done pissed off Jimmy, Universal, and Interscope/ Know, I got Jimmy, Slim, 50, and Universal in a scope/ (‘Cause I’m shady) shadier than him/ (I’m crazy) crazier than Kim/ So when the Bat Signal goes up in the clouds above the buildings/ I hope you live long enough to see heroes turn into villains/ Oh, you think I’m a Joker? Well, riddle me this/ You love your mother?” he raps before making a few references to some classic Eminem tracks. Mind, most of the things he’s ruminating about appear to be Marshall Mathers-related. To be fair, on the bridge the always outspoken Game offers up, “I’m crazy/ I’m crazy/ I’m not Mr. Nice Guy/ Dre know/ I’m crazy/ Way to f–kin’ go.” The onslaught, however, continues in the fourth verse, when Game takes on his former label and its former boss (Jimmy Iovine) and long-estranged rhyme accomplice 50 Cent before tripling-down on Marshall.

'The Black Slim Shady' features callbacks to some of Em's biggest hits, as well as a reference to his daughter.

Sure, ok, that’s nothing new in the hip-hop world, but bringing his daughter Hailie Jade into whatever he’s trying to do here crosses a line. If you feel like Eminem is better than me, that’s your opinion. But it’s a lot of people that feel like I’m better than Eminem, and that’s they opinion. “When y’all say Eminem is better and all that, I see it, I see it. While all these things might be true, they get lost in the repetitive nature of the track. Man, me and my brother praised him back when I was little.

On new album Drillmatic: Heart Vs. Mind, The Game calls out rival Eminem on 10-minute track "The Black Slim Shady."

“Nobody really takes shots at Eminem off this preconceived notion that he’s better than everybody. The rapper said that his interest in battling Em was prompted by his long-running beef with former G-Unit member 50 Cent. On new album Drillmatic: Heart Vs. Mind, The Game calls out rival Eminem on 10-minute track “The Black Slim Shady.”

There are nods to Marshall Mather's mother and her spaghetti, to renegades and JAY-Z, to closets that need cleaning out, and to Hailie. The Game Begs Eminem ...
