The Game Explains Why He Wants To Battle Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole (Video)

Less than a month ago, The Game released his Born 2 Rap album. What is currently being touted as the Compton, California’s final LP features various homages to other songs. “The Light” (embedded below) flips the same Bobby Caldwell song as Common’s J Dilla-produced 2000 track of the same name.

The chorus of the song features Game calling his peers to challenge him in the Rap ring. “Tell Cole, ‘Step in this light’ / Tell Dot, ‘Step in this light’ / Tell Drizzy, ‘Step in this light’ / Travis Scott, step to the light” goes the first break. The second chorus beckons Chance The Rapper, Big Sean, and Future.

Appearing on The People’s Party With Talib Kweli, Game addresses the lyrics. Co-host Jasmin Leigh asks the veteran MC about the bars at the 22:00 mark of a nearly two-hour interview. “I tried to pick out the heavy hitters of this generation, and sort of challenge ’em. There was a few more heads that didn’t get to make the song; I couldn’t squeeze ni**as in. I had to make sure I got the ones that I felt were the most influential: the Travis Scott’s, the Future’s—of course the J. Cole and Kendrick [Lamar’s].”

Sparoh’s “Panama” Delivers a Powerful Message of Confidence and Creative Freedom

Sparoh is an Atlanta-based artist creating music at the crossroads of melodic trap, alternative pop, and punk-fueled rebellion.
