For months, the Game has been teasing the new song. He explained in an April interview on Fresh Pair that his interest in beefing with Eminem is a direct result of his feud with 50 Cent. “Because 50 can’t rap, so I’ve gotta go a level up and challenge the better rapper,” he said (before couching his criticism by praising the TV shows that 50 Cent has produced in recent years). “Nobody really takes shots at Eminem off this pre-conceived notion that he’s better than everybody. Well I want action, and I want it today.” He continued:
If you’re a “rap god,” control me. Put me down. Put me in my place. Let me know. Because if out-raps me, I’m gonna feel like shit. He got it. I’m talkin’ about Hov and Nas, I’m talkin’ about “Takeover” and “Ether.” Because one of them has to feel like they one. I’m just sayin’ let’s have our moment, or I’m gonna have it by myself.
