and I didn't defend game I was merley quuestioning dre's leadership seeing as he lets 5-0 dictate who he can and can't work with
Lol.
People need to face facts:
* Dr. Dre signed Game, did some work with him.
* Game's shit wasn't going anywhere.
* Dr. Dre stopped caring about Game
* Game got into some beef shit to stir up some buzz.
* 50 took Game into G-Unit to help him out.
* 50 oversaw Game's album, wrote the songs (which doesn't mean writing the lyrics), and gave something for Dre to work with.
* The album came out.
* Game started beefing with the guy who kept him from getting dropped.
* Ties severed.
Dr. Dre lost all interest in the Game a while ago, before his first album even dropped. Game proved to be successful, but that's with a huge boost from 50 (how well did "Dreams" and "Put You on the Game" do compared with "Hate it or Love it" or "This Is How We Do"?).
He couldn't do it without 50, and he didn't outdo 50 - if Dre's "picking sides" (and there's no indication that he is - he seems pretty aloof from everything), of course things are going to lean towards 50. And if Game's not even affiliated with Aftermath anymore, why should Dre feel a need to contribute to his album?
Furthermore, if Game can make dope shit without Dre - which he can - why should he pay that premium?
