Game Over?

Rapper's album release was panned!

50 Cent and Michelle Malkin are going to clown on rival's disappointing album release.

Rapper Game's latest album Jesus Piece debuts Number 6 on Billboard with projected sales between 85,000 to 100,000 copies being sold. A big disappointment for the Compton based rapper who rose to fame under the whims of Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. The Game released his debut album The Documentary and it went to number one in the charts. After a bitter fallout between 50 Cent and members of G-Unit, Game was forced off Aftermath Records.

Soon after the rapper released The Doctor's Advocate, L.A.X., The R.E.D. Album and the recent album Jesus Piece. The rappers two albums post G-Unit went to Number 1 on Billboard charts but these last two were disappointments.

Game is rumored to sign to Cash Money Records. Although it's not confirmed, it's been the talk of the internet as of recently. The rap label is home to Lil' Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj. These entertainers also appear under Lil' Wayne's Young Money Records as well.

Game's ongoing feud with 50 Cent will certainly spark up again! 50 Cent usually attacks rivals for low album sales. The rapper has an ongoing issue with not only Game, but former members Lloyd Banks and Young Buck.

50 Cent also shares in disappointment too. His last album Before I Self Destruct didn't live up to expectations, even with help from Eminem and Dr. Dre producing most of his album. The next album release is Street King Immortal and it may be the rapper's last album. The album first singles are out. New Day with Dr. Dre and Alicia Keyes and My Life featuring Eminem and Adam Levine are the official singles.

Game and 50 Cent's feud has put a dent in both of their careers. Both failed to succeed in charting on the Billboard top list with their singles. Each entertainer associated with G-Unit hasn't lived up to their first releases. 50 Cent is maintain his image by investing in products. He contributed to his own brand of  energy drinks, headphones and taking up part time acting.

50 Cent engaged in feuds with Rick Ross, Ja Rule, Nas, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Slim da Mobster, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Irv Gotti, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Young Buck, Game, Lloyd Banks, Benzino, Floyd Mayweather, Vivica A. Fox, Oprah, Bill O'Reilly, Cam'Ron, Lil' Wayne, Kanye West, and his the mother of his child.

Game engaged in feuds with 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Ja Rule, Joe Budden, .40 Gloc, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, Michelle Malkin, Dr. Dre, Tony Yayo, Big Sean, Tyler The Creator, Memphis Bleek, Young Chris, and his former manager Big Fase his half-brother.

Both entertainers are professional agitators. 50 Cent and Game lyrics contain language that embraces criminal activity, gun violence, homophobia, sexism and commercialism.  In the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, rappers, Ted Nugent, video games, conservative agitators and the gun lobbyist group the National Rifle Association are under fire for embracing the gun culture.

The gun control issue is back on the table. These individuals mentioned are entitled to their opinions and do have the right to freely express their music talents. However with the sales decline in most music genres, the rappers may have to reinvent an image in order to stay mainstream.

Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, T.I., Rick Ross, Rihanna, Lil' Wayne, Drake, Kanye West, 2 Chainz, Future, and Nicki Minaj are the most sought after rappers right now! The rest of them are still trying to stay relevant.

The video below is a homage to Eazy-E. Game records the Celebration Remix with Bone Thugs 'N Harmony.
