Really? Nas?? What happened, Nasir? How do you go from artistic videos like “It Ain’t Hard to Tell” and “One Mic” to this garbage?

Game and Joe Budden squash their beef and perform Budden’s “Pump It Up” together. This lovefest went down last night at Game’s New York concert.

Next up, LL Cool J and Kool Moe Dee squash their beef.

I’m going to give Game and Snoop the benefit of doubt and assume they’re going off the top here. These days, you just never know what’s freestyle and what’s written anymore.

What’s better than seeing two grown-ups engage in a video game contest on the Internet?

You know, Game would be lying if he said he didn’t enter into this contest with LAX in mind. You could pretty much get a rapper to do anything these days, as long he has an album to promote.

The Game – “Superman”
Another new track from Game’s LAX. I hear he’s shooting a video for this.

[Shout out to Enigmatik for the hookup.]

The Game – “My Life” (Feat. Lil Wayne)
Here’s a quality, no DJ version of the latest single from Game’s LAX. An emotion-laden tune like this puts Game right in his comfort zone. “My Life” features some of the best rhymes I’ve heard from him in a very long time. I have a feeling that it will replace those drunken rap concepts on the album.

What’s your take on it? Hit or miss?

Ice Cube – “Get Used to It” (ft. The Game & WC)
Rumor has it that the Game has been asked to replace Mack 10 in a new and improved Westside Connection. If “Get Used to It” is any indication of what they’re cooking up, don’t even waste my time with that weak sauce.

“Dope Boyz” is one of my favorite Summer bangers this year, so I’m definitely looking forward to the music video.
