<p>If it&#8217;s one thing we know about the rapper <strong>The Game</strong>, he is always saying something that shakes up the innanet! The Compton native recently shared his opinion of his favorite rappers and compared them to some of the greats.</p>
<p>In a recent interview with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/Montreality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Montreality</a>, he said <strong><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/jayda-cheaves-says-her-lil-baby-are-cordial-after-being-spotted-together-in-atlanta/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lil Baby</a> &; Lil Durk</strong> would be this generation&#8217;s <strong>Jay-Z &; Nas</strong>. &#8220;Rap culture has shifted the world,&#8221; he explained. Naming off Vince Staples, Don Toliver, and Joey Bad A*s, things got serious when he named Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. He proclaimed that they are pretty much the Nas and Jay-Z of their generation because they started ten years ago.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I enjoy Future and Young Thug because they would be the Jay-Z and sort of the Nas of that generation of music from the ATL. But then I love Lil Baby and Lil Durk because they would be the Jay-Z and Nas of this generation,&#8221; Game said.</p></blockquote>
<p>The &#8216;Drillmatic&#8217; rapper didn&#8217;t stop there. He touched on NBA YoungBoy, saying he will be the 2Pac of this generation.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sometimes when you see an 18-year-old say, &#8216;NBA YoungBoy is better than 2pac, it&#8217;s not because he actually is or 2Pac is better than NBA YoungBoy. It&#8217;s just the Michael Jordan/Kobe Bryant/LeBron thing. It&#8217;s just different eras of greatness,&#8221; he explained.</p></blockquote>

<p>Now, anytime The Game says something people may deem controversial, he receives backlash. Over 4,000 Roommates weighed in. One commented, &#8220;No one with LIL in their name isn&#8217;t prolific enough to be anything in the rap game.&#8221; Another wrote, &#8220;Why can’t we let everybody be who they were/are for their own generation?&#8221;</p>
<p>The Game stepped in and responded to the backlash. He commented, &#8220;Ya&#8217;ll be so angry at someone else&#8217;s opinion lol….. you gone be aite.&#8221;</p>
