Rap-Up.com || New Music: The Game f/ Lil Wayne

The Game enlists Lil Wayne for “My Life,” a Cool & Dre-produced joint, which is reportedly a future single off Game’s L.A.X. The introspective piano-driven track goes deep. The Compton MC even reaches out to Kanye, addressing his mother’s passing: “Since you helped me sell my dream, we can share my mama now.”

An alternate version of the track originally leaked where Game appears to take shots at Eminem and Proof. “All the pictures of me and Em, I burned them, so there ain’t no proof I walked through 8 Mile, and so since it ain’t no Proof, I’ll never walk through 8 Mile,” he raps.

Game replaced the lyrics on the album version with: “I ain’t no preacher, but here’s my Erick Sermon, so eat this black music and tell me how it taste now, and f*** Jesse Jackson because it ain’t about race now.”

Listen to the original track here.

dope track! Games statement about the “diss”:

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,” Game says. “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.”

Game goes on to explain how the song was not meant to be offensive by any means and was clearly taken out of context.
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.”
