NYC Blog: The Game Is A New York D*ckriding Cornball

First off, Game's new song is iight. And although it's highly credited for paying homage to many of rap's best, it's still his regular d*ckriding performance. Nothing new at all.

Read this stupid ass story he told MTV:

"We were both going to New York once on a flight. It was in the midst of the scuffle when I was just brain-dead in hip-hop, doing whatever. Not listening to nobody. Just going in [like a] chicken with his head cut off. Busta stopped me [in the airport]: 'Son! I don't like what you're doing. I don't!' Just walks off. Ironically, me and Bus were sitting next to each other on the flight. Me, I'm joking, punching him the whole time. 'Son, stop punching me. I'm reading my book!' "

"It was a five-hour flight to New York. I was mad. Five-hour flight. It don't take five hours to read XXL. 'This is me, Bus.' He just stared at me, didn't say nothing."

Finally, once the flight landed, Rhymes left his friend with some parting words: "Be safe out here. I don't like what you're doing!" According to Game, Busta just walked off after that and that was the last time they spoke to each other for quite some time.

"He didn't talk to me for a year. I calmed down. Seen Busta at the BET Awards in Atlanta. He said, 'Son! I like what you're doing. "One Blood"! You back.' I got a hug from Bus. The reunion."

Yawn.

Punching him? This dude's a cornball. This is the same rapper that was walking around Harlem's 125th Street with his nose up in the air, madd arrogant and uppity, and being mean to the kids in Foot Locker. And then suddenly he was broadly smiling in Busta's face with all 32 teeth, salivating, and his eyes wide yelling out "notice me!" But this isn't surprising coming from a rapper who once had a butterfly on his face and who mentions Jay-Z and every other rapper he can think of in every one of his songs. He's what you call an industry d*ckrider. And this corny story just reiterates that.

Didn't The Game once tell SOHH that it was in Hov's best interest to push back his album because he was dropping around the same time? Yes he did. LMFAOOOO.

And by the way, I'm not surprised at Busta's cold shoulder. I'm surprised he didn't tell him to shut up and f*ck off.
