Game Claims Recorded Fight With 40 Glocc Was in Self-Defense (@thegame)



It's been a good two years since the now infamous footage of Game putting hands on 40 Glocc hit the net, which led to 40 filing an official lawsuit against the Compton rapper, and now Game is sharing his side of the story.


According to Game, he only got physical with 40 because the G-Unit affiliate pulled out a gun on him first, and therefore he was acting in self-defense. 40 Glocc has claimed in the past that Game pulled out a gun; however, neither of them is seen with a firearm in the video.


In documents obtained by TMZ, Game claims 40 is only suing him to extend his 15 minutes of fame, and is using a "gangster agenda to profit from threats, intimidation and taunts."


Check out the footage in question above.

Kendrick Lamar Responds to Troy Ave's "Weirdo Rapper" Comment (@kendricklamar)



In November of 2013, Brooklyn's Troy Ave paid a visit to Hot 97 where he called artists like Kanye West, Flatbush Zombies and Kendrick Lamar "weirdo rappers." While he explained that he didn't mean it in a negative way, many took the comment as sneak disses towards the various MC's he mentioned.


Kendrick Lamar, who has been hard at work on his second album, has finally responded. In an interview with KIIS FM, Lamar laughs it off and says he doesn't know what the term means and that he doesn't know Troy Ave or his music.


"I don't even know what the definition....I don't even know him, I' never met him, I never really focused on his music either."


Lamar also addressed Lupe Fiasco saying he felt Kendrick wasn't the best lyricist in the game, with Lamar saying everyone is entitled to their opinion.


Is K. Dot the best in the game?
