The Game Explains Why Eminem Sells More Records Than Him

by Daryl Nelson

The debate about who's a better rapper, Eminem or The Game rages on. It started among music fans after The Game claimed to be more skillful than Em.

"I like Eminem, he’s one of the f*cking good emcees, great emcees. I used to think Eminem was better than me. He not. He not," said the Compton rapper on Drink Champs not too long ago."

Since those words, some of Em's fans have said the "8 Mile" rhymer is better because he's sold more records, which The Game addressed.

All this talk I see on the net saying Eminem is better than me because he sold more records is like saying McDonald’s is better than Tam’s burgers, it’s FALSE !!! They just put more money in McDonald’s & promoted the shit out the happy meal dangling toys in kids faces.

Translation for those of you who don’t know how major record companies do business: it’s a machine designed to work for the artists who PLAY NICE in massa’s house. I was TOO REAL, TOO UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK & cut the puppet strings early on in my career n decided to rebel.

Does The Game have a point here?
