Expressing his ability to elicit a response from Eminem, The Game stated, "He responded. Game can always get him to respond, man. It must strike cords, man," during the interview.
The context likely revolves around Ez Mil's track, "Realest," where Eminem addresses criticisms questioning his authenticity in the hip-hop realm. Collaboratively produced by Mil and Eminem, the song boasts a dynamic beat, featuring a rhythmic lunchroom table percussion and a resonant snare, providing a platform for both artists to deliver diverse flows.

In "The Black Slim Shady," The Game lyrically asserts, "I never heard you in a club, I never heard you in a bar / Eleven albums and ten never got played inside of my car." Eminem's response in "Realest" includes lines such as, "All the envious rappers I’d torch if I’m on a joint with ’em/And that is the only retort is I’m not played in the clubs muthaf–ka put a cork in it/Only reason they still play your s–t in the clubs is ’cause you still perform in ’em."
While The Game may be referencing these specific lines, the broader narrative of "Eminem not being played in clubs" was a prevalent topic during that timeframe. Eminem likely responded to various critiques, not exclusively targeting The Game.
This exchange adds another chapter to the dynamic relationship between The Game and Eminem, both known for their lyricism and penchant for engaging in rap battles that captivate the hip-hop community. As the verbal jousting continues, fans eagerly anticipate further developments in this intriguing saga.
