The Game Claims Title of ‘King of West Coast’ Over Kendrick Lamar, Ice Cube

In a recent interview on “Club Shay Shay,” The Game confidently declared himself as the best rapper from Compton and the entire West Coast. He dismissed the idea of any Top 5 West Coast rapper list that didn’t include him, challenging the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, YG, and Ice Cube. The Game’s bold statement solidifies his belief in his own talent and place in hip-hop history. Fresh off the release of his Gangsta Grillz mixtape, Game’s reasoning is simple … he studied past greats such as Cube and Snoop to elevate his own classic albums … and was on hand for the torch-passing ceremony to K. Dot during the “Not Like Us” rapper’s come-up. They may sound like fightin’ words, but Game says he’s about that life, and his fellow West Coasters are agreeing with him.
