Hip-hop mogul Dr Dre has compared rapper The Game to the late Tupac Shakur insisting the 29-year-old is just as talented as the deceased star. The legendary producer teamed up with The Game - real name Jayceon Terrell Taylor - to work on a track for his new album and the experience has convinced him the rapper is blessed with same ability as tragic star Shakur, whose highly successful music career was cut short when he was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1996. Dr Dre - André Romelle Young - also insists The Game’s recent spell in prison has helped boost his music in the same way Shakur’s 1995 jail sentence spurred him on to write some of his most famous hits. He tells MTV.com, "Right now, he’s like ‘Pac. It’s like when ‘Pac came outta prison and did California Love that same night. Lyrically, he’s somewhere else right now. "When he was going to jail … he said he didn’t know how long he’s gonna be going in for. But he was like, ‘When I come out, I’m ready to go.’ So the day he got out, we got the phone call, like, ‘Yo, come to L.A. right now.’ So me and Cool jumped on the plane." The Game pleaded no contest to weapons charges earlier this year (08) and served eight days of a 60-day sentence. He was released on 9 March (08) due to prison overcrowding.

Date: Thu, Mar 20, 2008 03:17:06 PDT I've been a Pac fan since 91. I've been a fan of Dre's music since 89, I was 12 and Eazy E and NWA changed how I looked at life. I don't think Game has the depth that Pac had, regardless of Mic skill. I can run off 5 or 6 rappers more skilled than the fallen Bob Marley of Hip Hop but I can't name 1 that has ever been as deep and that depth is why Pac is so relevant. Perhaps, because he could do both; write Keep Ya Head Up and You Can't C Me. Game did 8 days. Pac did 8 months. So . . . .? That having been said, as Pac is unparalleled for depth, Dre is unparallelled for musical vision when it comes to this hip hop thing. So, I'll go with what he says and wait to hear this new shit. 1LOVE GHERBSAWORD Submit Your Comments About This Article:
