Game Says “Uncle Otis” Is “Just Fun,” Not A Jay-Z Dis

Compton rapper also says Kreayshawn can’t play around with N-word…

Game already knows that everyone is gonna say he dissed Jay-Z on “Uncle Otis.” But the Compton MC has a different take on things, of course. According to him, if two rappers rock on a track then one has to best the other the song, right?

“I was feeling that joint,” Game told XXLmag.com about Hov and Kanye West’s “Otis.” “‘Ye is snapping.”

And, Jay?

“Kanye was snapping,” he said, wryly.

Here’s a dome shot to this niggas named Otis,” Game himself snapped not to subtlety on “Uncle Otis.” “Niggas think they the coldest, but they just the oldest/Niggas be chasing they youth, but its gone/Yo, ‘Ye this nigga didn’t even want to put you on.

The track is the latest barb the former G-Unit star has taken at Jay-Z throughout his career. “Uncle Otis” also serves as the first offering from Game’s forthcoming mixtape Hood Mornin due August 1 with producer Mars. The mixtape will be followed next month by Game’s long-in-the-works LP, The R.E.D. Album.

On “Uncle Otis,” Game flips his flow throughout the track and described the record as his 2012 version of 50 Cent’s “How To Rob.”

“It’s poking jokes and taking shots, but that’s what I do,” he said. “I’m just shooting in the dark, when I turn on the lights if a couple of motherfuckers is down, I got to get up out of there.

“Anybody that takes it personal, they really shouldn’t but if you do, we can go there,” he added.

Bay Area newcomer Kreayshawn landed in Game’s cross-hairs, too. The “Gucci Gucci” rapper raised his ire for her tweet where she paraphrased DMX and used the N-word. Despite not uttering it conversation and later explaining that she doesn’t say the word herself, Game said her use was flagrant enough for him.

“You can’t be playing with that word, some people will take it serious,” he explained. “Especially coming from someone that’s [not black]. There’s a lot of tragic history behind it.”—Jayson Rodriguez

    Game looks like what Sisqo would look like if a giant amazon woman shoved him up her snatch. Maybe it’s a piru thing.

    Smh how could anyone compare How To Rob to Unlce Otis?!?! How To Rob was fair because 50 was a hungry underground artist lookin for a way to get into the industry so w/e….but Game has been put on since 2005, theres no reason to even go that route! lol anyways I thought the track was wack

    GAME CAN SPIT NO ONE IS DENYING THAT, OF COURSE HE’S A BEAST BUT THE REALITY IS ALL YOU PEOPLE CO SIGNING THIS ISH, DON’T REALIZE THIS IS LIKE THE BOY IN THE CLASSROOM CRYING FOR ATTENTION. EVEN HIS COMMENT ABOUT IT EVEN BEING A JOKE IS STUPID. I’M GOING TO DISS YOU BUT I’M JUST PLAYING YET IF YOU WANT TO BATTLE IT’S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM” FOH!!! SINCE SO MANY OF YOU ARE CO SIGNING THIS BS, HOW COME HE NEVER MENTIONS BIRDMAN STILL RAPPING? HOW MANY CLASSIC CD’S HAS HE RELEASED AS AN ARTIST? WHEN & WHERE WERE THE SOLD OUT TOURS & SHOWS COAST TO COAST HE’S HEADLINED? HE REALLY NEEDS TO LEAVE THAT AGE ISH ALONE. NO OTHER MUSIC GENRE FAN’S DISSES LEGEND’S OR OLDER ARTISTS’ EXCEPT FOR RAP FANS. THE ROLLING STONES ARE ALMOST 70 YEAR’S OLD STILL SELLING OUT TOURS, YET A 32 YEAR OLD IS COMMENTING ON A 41 YEAR OLD MAN STILL RAPPING.

    Game knows that Jay can’t ignore him forever. On some real emcee shit I respect that Game had a rhyme ready to fire off the day after Jay released Otis. I agree it’s a corny ploy and a cry for attention but on some real live rapping shit this is so Hiphop.
