--------
The Game discussed his rise to prominence in the West Coast hip-hop scene. Despite not releasing his own single initially, he was featured in advertisements and collaborations that helped him grow in popularity. He spoke about his appearances in a Boost Mobile ad alongside Kanye West and Ludacris, and his key role in amplifying West Coast-based musicians in an era when the spotlight was mainly on the South and New York. The artist also detailed his determination to be the "king of the West Coast," asserting that his influence contributed to other artists' visibility - Kendrick Lamar included. The rapper compared his career ascent to the success arcs of basketball greats like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. He deplored the current divided state of West Coast hip-hop, mentioning that more unity and collaboration, much like the East Coast music scene, could potentially strengthen the overall industry.

tbh his saying “genius like Dre” is almost offensive 😂 Quik’s genius can do things on his own that Dre has to pay people to do (and then take all the credit of course) Quik doesn’t need to buy other producers tracks then have an engineer fix the mix up & throw his name on it, that’s Dre’s “genius”

Reason being is because "Restless" was the first Xzibit album with songs produced by Battlecat, Dr Dre & DJ Quik The "Restless" album was the first of Xzibit to feature established blockbuster artists like Eminem, Nate Dogg, Snoop, Suga Free & DJ Quik X's 4th album, "Man Vs Machine", in 2002 kept him hott Following X's two albums his popularity waned then in 2005 came the rise of The Game

Me personally X is overlooked mainly because of him being originally not from Los Angeles, not banging or hustling. See, X is an artist, MC. To be the King of WC you need more than that unfortunately. PAC the only one acknowledged as WC King even though the guy is Harlem’s own🤷🏼‍♂️

It just never seemed so cause 50 was always filthy rich.. And finally, yes it's true Game was outselling Snoop Dogg since he came out. Actually Game released his first 3 albums just after a Snoop album in those same exact years and outsold him every time .. People love to hate Game but it's true. He had the biggest West Coast album of the 2000's. He was the biggest West Coast rapper for years and carried the coast before Kendrick and Nipsey while also helping put them on. He was outselling Snoop and Cube and he did start doing better than 50 in hip hop in the late 2000's early 2010's. He's not bullshitting.

West Coast was dead, stagnant if you wanna be kind "life support". Once Game joined G Unit he rebirthed that entire region. A new energy was needed. Yes he's done madd corny shit, hella name dropping still can rap his ass off s phenomenal emcee wit a dope discography. He stayed afloat without Dre/Em/50. I remember Cube and other West Coast Legends weren't co-signing the new west. Like Nas taking 50 on tour in the 90s before he blew up, Game taking K Dot and Nip on tour influenced the new west. Quik is every bit as good a producer as Dre and a better rapper. Personally I like Quik production better he doesn't get enough credit outside of the West though.

[@EYEAMNEGUS]

@@jay2chill134 Nas was in the NY video if memory serves me correctly. Jada and Fat Joe never had issue with 50 before that but they seemingly aligned wit Ja. Irv hanging wit Nas and trying to sign em to the Inc during the infamous Nas and Jigga beef made Nigga feel a way bout Irv so u he did commercial wit 50. 50 followed PAC formula so many unnecessary rap beefs only ja was a real beef but it stemmed from his homie robbing Ja and 50 and supreme beef. 50 and Pac both had issue with Henchman. 50 saw throne for the taking. I know that piggy bank diss caught Nas off guard "don't body ya self" was a love tap cause he didn't wanna go there wit em due to their friendship like bond. 50/G Unit, Em, Dre, DMX, Busta, Obie Trice and D12 did a number of murder inc but also Ja in particular stopped making hits he ran outta heat so to speak and plus feds didn't want Irv paying for supreme lawyers so they froze accounts and they had to beat trial.

Never forget about DJ QUIK.

[@artiearias7948]

I keep seeing all these “was” Game still is at the top of the rap game rn. He literally out raps most the new generation of artists today. Easily!

[@tonybandanna4895]

He was hyped pretty good first two albums were dope

[@ejburton610]

Dj Quik needs more credit for everything he did, I always thought he was as good as Dr Dre

[@raidercujo8636]

Game brought the west back

[@thewholemilwaukee3290]

He got the eazy e glasses on lol

[@HOODTMZPODCAST]

Salute Game

[@Selfpaideatz]

Thank you Game for giving Mack 10 his flowers. Lets keep it real , Quick was doing nothing in the late 90s early 00s he stop rapping to become a producer. Mack 10 and the west side connection held the west down after the East coast west coast beef . Cali couldn't get any play after Big died we was shut out and game breath life back into the coast facts!!

[@mroctober3583]

Bro u serious, Rhythmal-ism, Balance & Options, Under the Influence albums..Visual-ism DVD, Quik was still poppin as an artist up until about 2004 when he went strictly producer for awhile.

[@livefree2881]

I was jamming to Quik in ‘99-2k for sure/Quik been in rotation since ‘96-97 💪

@@livefree2881 he didn't make an impact like the westside connection or make 10 did

[@mroctober3583]

@@Selfpaideatz Kendrick Lamar included Quik's Balance&Options album on his "Complex Top 20 Favorite Albums" list and several other artists like YG have said Quik was a major influence on their career... Record sales don't mean shit in terms of musical influence, you know how many garbage albums go triple platinum solely based off cult followings?

[@michaelcarroll991]

He may be now but game was never independent. And if he is now he ain't poppin at all. He's done to many podcast where he said some really stupid s***. This dude said he was better than Eminem. And to be honest how could he be the king of the west coast and sign with a New York crew??

@GoytaDembiya are you nuts? That's what Eminen does. Everyone of the top URL rappers agree no one's seeing eminem. Bro every rapper eminem has beef with he has destroyed their career.

I still do wanna say Tyler is so overlooked when it comes to artistw from the West that are doing major things. Number 1 album, grammies, a very successful festival.. So so overlooked

[@1992CaliBoy]

The west coast wasnt quiet. The record labels kust didnt wanna work with the west coast after being traumatized by suge knight. The industry said no more new west coast rappers, u still had nate dogg, kurupt, daz etc. But nobody wanted to listen to em because they kept rapping about 90s. The game was the only rapper the industry wanted to work with becausethey wanted to control him

[@larrylopez9614]

Game is second string at best when it comes to West Coast Mt. Rushmore. Hes behind alot of folks. Pac, Snoop, Dre, Cube, Ice T, Too Short, E-40, Eazy etc.

[@jaye5926]

All those rappers were a whole decade before The Game and were the pioneers we are talking about in modern times like him or not The Game had the west coast on his back until Kendrick came along
