Why Did the Game Diss Eminem?
The long-running feud between The Game and Eminem hit a boiling point with The Game’s 2016 diss track “92 Bars.” But what is the root of the conflict that has spanned the better part of two decades?
Roots of the Feud
The beef between The Game and Eminem dates back to 2005. The two were at odds when The Game was signed to Aftermath Entertainment and G-Unit Records, a joint venture between Dr. Dre and Eminem. The two engaged in a war of words before finally ending the beef in 2006.
Reigniting the Feud
After The Game’s beef with 50 Cent became public, the beef between Eminem and The Game reignited. Eminem called out The Game in his song “Jimmy Crack Corn” and in an interview with XXL magazine. After becoming frustrated with the lack of progress the beef had made, The Game wrote a verse calling out Eminem on “My Life” and finally released the diss track “92 Bars.”
Reason For Diss Track
The Game was angered by the fact that Eminem was still talking about him after allegedly telling Dr. Dre that he was done with the beef. The Game felt that as a fan, it wasn’t right for Eminem to disrespect him like that and decided to take matters into his own hands.
Results of Diss Track
The Game’s diss track reignited the feud between him and Eminem and caught the attention of fans and critics alike. The Game’s diss track gained momentum and went on to become one of the most viewed music videos on YouTube. While the beef between Eminem and The Game never officially ended, the two have since gone their separate ways.
Conclusion
The feud between The Game and Eminem likely won’t come to a peaceful resolution any time soon. The two have been embroiled in a war of words for more than a decade and it appears that the tension won’t dissipate any time soon.
