The Game Issues Statement on “My Life”
So I’m just about to get some lunch and my man Ray hits me with a statement from The Game about the recent leaked joint featuring Lil Wayne. He opens up about the Eminem/Proof line and explains the reason for changing it on the album version…
When I originally wrote the song “My Life” I was trying to think back on events that affected my life and how they changed me. When I first got signed to Aftermath and G-Unit I was exposed to so many different people from Dre to Em to 50 to Proof. I always identified with Proof. We were always cool and he would reach out to me when ever I was going through something I remember when Proof died vividly and now every time I think about going to Detroit I get depressed. That is what I was trying to say in that verse and the more I looked at I realized that people would take it the wrong way…the way they are taking it now that it leaked. So I decided to change it so that this bullshit wouldn’t happen and now it’s happened anyway. For the record, this is not the version on my album, this is not the version that radio will get and this is not the version that I just shot the video to. Furthermore, I apologize to anyone who took this the wrong way as that was never my intention.
When i first heard it thats what i was think that he ment…track is dope nonetheless imo…

everybody in the rap-game is starting to be so fu**in hypersensetive, they aint gang bangers anymore, if they ever where. they need to relax and get they’r paper and dont care about some fu**in words, I get so tired of these chumps playin gangbangers when they all are out of the hood and living in they’r milliondollars house as rappers, they are out the hood and multimillionairs and acting like gangbangers. something like _this_ is ok, but they are so sensetive, hearing what they want to hear, but everywere we look they have some fued about some fu**in lyrics to get a thougher imager. its ruening the game.

some of yall really need to understand poetry or meanings behind certain things. Oh thats beef or thats going at this person, thats all you wanna speculate. From the beginning i knew he was trying to say something, if you listen to his first verse then maybe you would of know whats up.

[...] Hmm, an album cut with The Game & Lil Wayne? I’m sure the stans are gonna go wiiiiild for this one. I actually wanted to hear Wayne spit a verse, but he just handles the hook. The Game comes pretty correct on this. Takes a few slaps at Em for whatever reason, etc. UPDATE: OcTo dropped off the no-DJ version just now. UPDATE 2: Seems The Game came to his senses and took out the Em shot for the NoDJ/album version. Game explains in a statement. [...]
