Key Takeaways
- The Game appears to target Kendrick Lamar on "LA Monster," rapping, "I’m the LA monster," and joking that the GNX "scare the hoes away."
- On "No Brakes," he teams with Drake and declares, "Me, Drake and a Draco, we the Three Amigos," seemingly signaling his allegiance in the Drake-Kendrick feud.
- The Documentary III also complicates the narrative on "The Pen," where The Game asks: “They saying I’m beefing with Kendrick, how the fuck do that sound?"
The Game looks like he might be turning up the heat on his reported beef with Kendrick Lamar, seemingly taking shots at him on a couple of new tracks.
On Friday (August 21), the Compton rapper surprised fans with the release of his new star-studded album, The Documentary III — on which he appears to take aim at K.Dot multiple times throughout.
Perhaps the most notable perceived diss comes on the song "LA Monster," which suggests that Game wasn’t too impressed with Kendrick's Grammy Award-winning album, GNX — which was seen as a victory lap after he came out on top of the feud with Drake in 2024.
"I ain’t got no problem with the boogeyman / And he ain’t got a problem with me 'cause I’m the LA monster," Games raps on the chorus, seemingly referencing Kendrick Lamar dubbing himself the "certified boogeyman" on his chart-topping Drake diss, "Not Like Us." "You can ask the boy who the man is / Shit get scandalous, he know I’m the LA monster / I might drive the Rolls today / The GNX scare the hoes away ‘cause it’s an LA monster."
Hours before the arrival of The Documentary III, DJ Akademiks previewed "No Brakes," a new track on the album that features Drake on the hook, perhaps showing where Game's loyalty lies. "Me, Drake and a Draco, we the Three Amigos," Game raps on the song. "N***a said pick a side, then I’m picking homicide."
The Game and Kendrick might both from Compton, but it appears as though the Documentary rapper isn't interested in siding with the pgLang rapper just because they share the same hometown.
However, on the song "The Pen," The Game name-drops Kendrick, and seemingly in a positive way. "They saying I’m beefing with Kendrick, how the fuck do that sound?” he raps. "'Cause I’m feeling like 50 when he made 'Back Down'."
