The Game Passes 'Best Rapper From Compton' Title to Kendrick Lamar on New Mixtape

The Game has relinquished his self-appointed “best rapper from Compton” crown to Kendrick Lamar. Game appears to pass the title to K.Dot on “Whatever,” the intro track to his new mixtape Gangsta Grillz: E.M.N.T – The Credits, which dropped Friday. “If I ain’t the best rapper from Compton, it gotta be Kendrick. And if Kendrick the best rapper, tell him step up and end it,” he raps. “I’m in the stairs clapping hands for the man I’ve offended / Can’t go to war against a n***a that I gave my appendix. The acknowledgment is surprising, given the bold proclamation Game made back in December during an appearance on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe, where he confidently crowned himself Compton’s top lyricist. “I’m definitely the best rapper from Compton,” Game told Sharpe when asked if he was still the hometown king. “Can’t nobody out-rap me, man. Anyone who knows will know. No one can do what I can do. No one has my skill set. Not only do I have the ability to rap circles around people, I’m also with all the bullshit too if it came to that.”When Sharpe reminded him of Compton heavyweights like Ice Cube, Game responded bluntly: “I love Cube, but Cube can’t out-rap me.”
