Compton,
CA rapper The Game has broken his silence regarding an incident in Manhattan,
NY, in which the 14-year-old son of Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond was allegedly
assaulted by rival G-Unit rapper Tony Yayo. On
"Body Bags," a new track released to the Internet yesterday, The Game,
who is managed by Rosemond, addressed the altercation between Yayo and the 14-year-old
boy."Body Bags" makes it clear that despite a protest
against G-Unit
and a press conference that was attended by Al Sharpton, CouncilmanCharles Barron and others yesterday (Apr. 2), both sides may be far from a sit-down
to resolve the issue. The
Game raps: Potato on the muzzle, black tape on the grip/We in the A-Team van
with black tape on your b***h/She gonna tell us where you at, we gonna twist that
dro/And just wait until the rat climbs out that hole/Know the streets aint safe,
when we see him we gonna eat that face/No body we gonna beat that case/It’s on
again, two shots of patron, I’m in….The
four-minute song, which was released on The Game’s official Myspace page, samples
a portion of Damien Marley’s song "Welcome to Jamrock" and continues
to berate G-Unit and Tony Yayo for allegedly assaulting the 14-year-old boy. The
Game also calls out 50 Cent and various associates and warns them to call "god"
because his rivals may be meeting them soon. One
line in the song dashed hopes for a reconciliation between The Game and Young
Buck, who met before the altercation involving Yayo and Rosemond’s son, with hopes
of putting their heated rivalry on ice."We
just left the situation on the phone call on the note of ‘you do you without
involving G-Unit and me in your music and we do us without involving you or what
you got going in our music," Young Buck told AllHipHop.com last week. "And
that’s the level we left the conversation on."On
"Body Bags," The Game alludes to two of the most infamous diss records
in rap music history, Nas’ "Ether" and Tupac Shakur’s "Hit ‘Em
Up."This
aint ‘Ether,’ This aint ‘Hit Em Up, this is a lot of dead bodies/who gonna pick
them up/ we just shot the corner/who gonna drive to the truck/f**k the whole G-Unit,
who lied to Buck?Rosemond
manages The Game. Once a member of G-Unit, The
Game has feuded with 50 Cent and the rest of the G-Unit
collective for severalyears, after the two argued over contributions to The Game’s debut album, The
Documentary.The
violence escalated on Mar. 20, when Yayo saw the boy walking down W. 25 St. in
Manhattan and allegedly backhanded the boy because he was wearing a Czar Entertainment
shirt. Yayo
was charged with one count of misdemeanor assault and one count of endangering
the welfare of a minor. He
is scheduled to appear in court to answer the charges on Apr. 25.
