(Starts @ 2:20)

The beat selections, switch-ups, DJ effects, name dropping, flow, punch lines, length...no one ever did anything like this at the time. Yet still holds up solidly today. One of my favorite Game career highlights and one of the most important disses ever.

You agree?

    Game was ill on the mic. Dunno what happened. Around 2006 he dropped so many mixtapes and arguably his best album.

    Dude could flow back in the day

    Lyrically it's cool and the unit can't ? with him on the battling tip

    But not only is this song way too long he dropped soooo many diss tracks on them it seemed like he was obsessed with them...like a scorned ex girlfriend would be

    Sometimes less is more

    Cube been did it on "jackin 4 beats" , but 300 bars is a classic imo. Good ole mixtape days, every mixtape started with atleast 3 diss tracks in those days lol

    One of the greatest diss tracks ever

    great diss tracks leaves impacts and changes the trajectory of someones career/legacy

    mc shans legacy BECAME "south Bronx " after that record

    ether took nas from a has been to back being an elite emcee

    i can keep going, but u get the idea

    how you personally feel about the song is one thing, but what effect did this song have on games or gunits career /image/ status etc?

    NONE...in the respect im speaking of at least, it was jus background noise

    this joint aint matchin up to the heavyweights

    He roasted the unit. 240 bars was fire too. Especially that dude talking about Spider Loc at the end. He must have said "you dumb son of a ? " like 20 times. lol

    I have to disagree. This might not be a top 5 diss track, but I'd say its top 10.

    I memorized this whole got damn song when it dropped.

    I was a ? G-Unit fan when game was with them but whenever all that ? went down I was like ? them ? . Then he dropped this joint right here and it was over. ? then proceeded to drop a whole mixtape of disses on them (Which was really over ? ) but i loved that ? .

    Like Busta said he was snapping back in 06, i dont know what happened. His latest album has some dope cuts on it though
