I'm a fan of Games music but I don't understand why he name-drops.


I just don't get it but maybe someone can explain to me why he feels it's necessary to say another mans name in almost every other rhyme.


I know Hurricane-Game isn't the only rapper to do it so maybe I should ask a more generalized question like why do some rappers do this.


Discuss.

I think its cause he likes beef and when he name drops, some rappers may get mad.
Most dont do anything but some do [pic]

There is no real answer to this....it's one of those unsolved mysteries......dude needs to make more songs like "One Night" though......

Because he wants to feel connected to all those people, and because he isn't that great lyrically. I like Game, but dude isn't a top lyricist or anything.

If you press skip everytime, does that mean you can never get through a game song?[pic]

Thats kinda mean.

So you think Game is just attention-whoring and not paying Homage?

It's a crutch to cover up the fact that he has no personality, substance or creativity in his bars.

Attention whoring. Does he really have to mention these guys countless times just to pay homage? After a certain point, it's just jumpin on the next man's !!.

Dr. Dre 367
50 Cent 249
G-Unit 137
Jay-Z 305
