Game interview xxl

Was the plan to go and punch him, or was it to step up to his face and talk it out? Nah, I wanted to see him put his hands up and walk toward me and then we would get down. That's it. If you knew the Game was going to be surrounded with his people, would you have brought your people when you were trying to get at the Game?

Is it true that while you were locked up with the Game's manager that you didn't want to fight him in jail? Nah, man. When you have an altercation with anybody and you go to jail they separate you. That's a fact. Anyone who's been to jail knows that.

If anything I wanted to fight him, dog. Trust me. Come on. The day after that incident you had with the Game and his manager, you got jumped by your boys.

Do you still believe that it was the Game that your boys to jump you? How do you think he got in touch with your friends and why would they even jump you if they were your boys? Yeah, percent. I don't trust nobody right now. I trust a few people, but yeah. Just being about family right now.

The latest from this beef is the possibility of a celebrity boxing match. Is that true? I know the Game said yes to the fight Tuesday morning via Instagram, but then the video was deleted. Have you heard anything new surrounding the Game's decision to be a part of the celebrity boxing match?

Nah, dog. I hope he accepts it though, you feel me? That's that. We do that, the situation is done. So you're pretty much just hoping that he takes the fight and it'll be wrap for the beef after the fight?

I know he mentioned that he doesn't want you to sue him. Is that something you were thinking to do? While people wait and see what happens next between you and the Game, are you going to make more diss records aimed towards him? Nah, bro. This situation is already done. You don't want to get in the ring? Then that's what it is; I did what I could. I want him to step in the ring and just fight like a man. Instead of fighting would you be willing to talk out the beef with Game and avoid the issue getting even more violent?

Yeah, dog, it is what it is. I don't give a shit. At the end of the day, both of us are acting like children right now to be honest. But we can handle it in the ring or we can talk about it, and that's it. The beef has brought a lot of media attention to you. Do you feel like it was a wrong move for the Game to entertain the beef? When I was at that age—between like, 16 and 18—I definitely thought sports was the ticket out. It was then that he began to rap.

A lot of those guys were going to the studio and making records and stuff like that, and I just start hanging around that culture and eventually started doing it myself. Niggas getting high, niggas freestyling, niggas selling drugs—it all culminated into one thing. It was like a culture in my city. Freddie Gibbs is not your average rapper. Niggas will see me in the hood by myself getting some Jamaican food. He says he moved to the suburbs to be in better school districts for his children—a now 5-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son.

The trade-off for his current zip code is a sense of isolation. I knew everybody on my block in my neighborhood in Gary. It was a sense of family. It was a sense of community. In his earliest years, he sounded like Bun B.

You also rap about artists being similar to each other and having similar styles, down to how they make music and their fashion and stuff like that. Everybody gotta wear the Christian Dior, Gucci, all that shit. Everybody got the same shoes, same pants, same shirt, same chains. Do something else, nigga! The fuck!
