Game talks 50 Cent diss on "Love, Hate"

In 2009, Game and 50 Cent were both preparing to release new albums. 50 Cent had seemingly fallen from grace with Dr. Dre and Interscope Records. Meanwhile, Game was moved back to the primary Interscope label and reunited with Dre. Game had spent most of the year dissing 50 Cent, but promised not to on his album.

50 Cent used this to his advantage and decided to air out all of his enemies. His "So Disrespectful" track took aim at Jay-Z, Young Buck, Game, B.G., Dr. Dre, and Interscope Records. With his album being delayed, Game never properly responded to 50 Cent's disses. Each time Game tries to say he has reached a little common ground with 50, 50 comes back with a diss.

Recently, Game has dissed 50 Cent several times, even outing him as gay on Twitter. But, 50 Cent did not respond because he was more focused on his business ventures than petty rap beef. Before the release of his last two albums, 50 Cent attempted to diss Lil Wayne, but all of his disses were ignored. These days, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, and Game could all agree on one thing, their apparent dislike for Jay-Z. Other than that, Game and Lil Wayne have become the best of friends. As this has happened, Game continues to diss 50 Cent.

Proving he always keeps an ear to the streets, 50 Cent dissed both Lil Wayne and Game on his newest track, "Love, Hate." 50 Cent goes at Lil Wayne over his new skateboarder style and questions his sexuality, bringing up his attire here recently. From there, 50 Cent takes aim at one of his most-bitter enemies, Game, who features Lil Wayne on several songs off his The R.E.D. Album. 50 Cent brings up the 2005 shooting when he goes after Game. Poking fun at Game for never going after him, 50 Cent goes on to say he must have forgot, but not to forget he wrote most of Game's hits.

Game is currently on his R.E.D. Tour, but he responded to 50 Cent via Twitter. Once he finds a studio, Game said he is killing 50 Cent's "Planet of the Apes face havin ass nigga."

For years, Birdman has been making money. Twenty years ago, he had made Cash Money Records into a success. The label was very big in the New Orleans local scene. But, when he added superstars, Juvenile, B.G., and Lil Wayne, to the label, the movement went worldwide.

Not too many people have been able to have the success Birdman has enjoyed over the years. Also, not many people have had a run as long as his. Still, for years, he was not making the same kind of money Jay-Z and Diddy were. For two years, he has been trying to challenge Jay-Z.

Recently, Jay-Z responded to his money disses. Birdman has a reason to diss with all the money he has made. He replaced 50 Cent as third behind Diddy and Jay-Z on the Forbes list. The financial magazine announced Birdman's net worth to be $100 million. But, Birdman argues he is worth well over $100 million. While he is almost double this worth, Birdman said he felt honored to finally be on the list.

Lil Wayne has been the most popular rapper in the game for nearly four years. Along the way, he has built his imprint label, Young Money, into a force. Many big-name rappers have signed with the label.

Turk was signed to Cash Money back when Juvenile was the focus of the label. He was the fourth member of the Hot Boyz, but also left due to beef. Soon, Turk found himself behind bars.

Unlike B.G. and Juvenile, he did not forgive Birdman over the contract dispute. However, rumors stated other wise and had Turk headed to Young Money. Turk decided to address these rumors upon hearing what was being said about him.

While Turk is looking forward to an official Hoy Boyz reunion, he is not close enough to want to return to his former home through Young Money. Instead, when he gets released from prison, Turk will launch his own label, YNT.

J. Prince, the head of Rap-A-Lot, is confident he will be able to reunite the Hot Boyz. Now, he has plans of reuniting the entire crew. Juvenile said he was ready to do a reunion album, but Lil Wayne's prison sentence stopped things from happening. J. Prince has plans of talking with Birdman to see if Rap-A-Lot Records and Cash Money Records can unite to become one crew.

While Juvenile's album does not have a title yet, J. Prince is convinced it will be a classic. He wants the entire Cash Money crew to be featured on the album. Prince feels they were family once and they can be family again. Because he, Birdman, and Slim are all businessmen, J.
