Nino Bless - Changed Man ft Akon

Let me say, I hope Jay doesnt bite the bait. I got alot of love for The Game and Jay. While people would love to see them at it, I dont think its gonna happen.

Complex: There’s rumors going around that you have a Jay-Z diss coming out on a new mixtape with DJ Haze. Can you clear that up?

The Game: There’s no Jay-Z disses, that’s crazy. Haze just hit me while I was asleep, when I woke up before I called you, I seen an e-mail from Haze asking for the Jay-Z diss. I explained to him there will be no Jay-Z diss until Jay-Z disses Game. Like I said, I have a lot of love and respect for Jay, musically and in his career, but the relationship between us as grown men is a little bit different. When he bites, I’m going to sink my teeth into him.

Complex: It’s safe to say you’re baiting him though, right?

The Game: I am baiting him and hopefully he bites the bait. If I know Jay-Z like I know Jay-Z, he won’t bite the bait. He’s a smart man, he’s a legend, he’s an icon, I’m a fan of his music straight up. He can use it against me. Who the fuck isn’t a fan of Jay-Z? But, the music is one entity, and the man is something totally different.

Complex: Right…

The Game: Now, if the man wants to wage a war of words or get into some type of beef, I’m all for it. It would be an honor to beef with Jay-Z. That’s one of the reasons I try to bait him, but he won’t bite. Jay-Z’s smart and he’s going to sit back and wait for this to simmer down. Plus I’m way too disrespectful for the likes of a Jay-Z, and I go too hard. Jay-Z is a subliminal rapper, he uses his words and isolates you like that. I go hard, straight for the jugular, with a knife and I’m cutting your throat and you’re going to bleed all over Manhattan when you beef with me. It’s that serious. When I beef, it’s relentless. I won’t stop until one of us is dead, period. And that’s lyrically. I don’t have to box or fight, or take it to the streets. We’ll keep it a straight wax-war, that’s what beef is all about. But I’m too reckless for him.

Complex: So you think if you ever got into it with him, you’d be his toughest competition.

The Game: I would be the toughest competition he had…well, Nas was his toughest, he didn’t win the war against Nas. Nas dropped “Ether” and that was it. Everyone knows Nas won that beef. But I’ve never lost a beef. Jay-Z, he has chinks in his armor still from that Nas beef. Other than that, we can do it. I’ve 100 percent won all my beefs. Me, LL, Nas and probably only a couple of other cats can claim that. I killed the biggest group in hip-hop single-handedly. Four cats against me and I totally fucking annihilated them, so Jay-Z would be a piece of cake. A piece of strawberry shortcake, my favorite.

Wale - Cyphr f. Beanie Sigel, Young Chris & Freeway

NYC’s longest running open mic, will celebrate their eight year anniversary this weekend with a concert, after party, and the first ever EOW Awards.

End Of The Week started in 2000 and it fast became New York City’s premiere location for a great Hip Hop show. 

Artists like Immortal Technique, Posion Pen, DMC, Mazzi & Scram Jones have all blessed the EOW stage. Its appeal has been so great that MC’s from the UK, France, Germany, Spain & Brazil have joined the movement.

ProPayne, one of EOW founders told HipHopDX

“When we started the movement, it was a small open mic in the back of a restaurant … “Now we’re an internationally recognized brand with franchises in three continents. We’ve been forced to adapt and change with the times. We went from a crew of friends making music to business men with marketing plans and proposals. We’ve grown and had to adopt a more ‘professional’ approach to what we do.”

“I feel that EOW is successful and able to do a weekly show that never gets dry or old because we love the music and the culture and have a great respect for where it’s rooted … We consider ourselves grown men in the Hip Hop game, so we have a seasoned outlook on things. One of our matra’s is maintaining the integrity of the culture. That in itself shines through and draws people to The Dub.”
