The Game has thrown disses at both 50 Cent and Jay-Z, so who does the Compton rap fanatic think would win if Fif and Jay ever engaged in a war of words? In a recent interview with Complex.com, Game says he gives it to Jigga.
"Jay-Z will f--- 50 up in a battle!" Game predicted. "It would be so fast and over with. 50 is funny, but Jay is witty. Jay-Z is not to be toyed with. If he responds, if he feels like you're really pissing him off and he responds, he's gonna f--- you up! He would f--- me up, I'm just glad he didn't respond, so I didn't have to go dig in my bag and try to f--- him up.
"I definitely think that Jay-Z didn't come at me like he came at any other rappers because I definitely would have been more disrespectful," he continued. "Once you start a beef with me, you better be ready to go the whole 12 rounds. I will try to chew your f---in' ear off, like Mike Tyson. I'll do it and I think he knew that — I'm disrespectful! So Jay, he did the right thing and just kinda let it die down and I let it die down 'cause it wasn't anything, really. It was fun and I really admire Jay's career. I just really don't care too much for the man himself."
The onetime G-Unit member also said he's open to working with 50 Cent again — although 50 recently said he isn't — but he does think Fif is just following his footsteps by beefing with Young Hova.
"I already did that Jay-Z thing," Game said. "50's just doing what I'm doing. Nobody went at Jay; I went at Jay. Now everybody wants to get at Jay — not saying anything about Beanie Sigel, that's personal and I stay out of that. He's just a man and he's got all the right in the world, but I feel like I did something that people have been wanting to do, but everybody is scared because Jay-Z is so lyrically inclined to cut your throat and your career in half that nobody wanted to do it. But me? I just don't give a f--- sometimes."
Both Game and 50 Cent have been in the lab with Dr. Dre lately. The Doc was in New York on Thursday at Best Buy promoting his headphones. During a press conference, RapRadar.com asked him about his relationship with Game and 50 since they are on opposing sides.
"It's good, I'm working with both guys," Dre began to say before Interscope CEO Jimmy Iovine attempted to move onto the next question. "Everything is good. Both guys are gonna be on my record. I'm trying to put it back to where it is supposed to be: all love."

The Cash Money/ Young Money synergy continued recently in Miami. All the family was there: Lil Wayne, Drake, the Birdman, Nicki Minaj, Lil Twist, Lil Chuckee, Mack Maine ... everybody. Wayne and his Young Money camp shot the video for "Bed Rock," while Birdman corralled Drake and Weezy for "4 My Town (Play Ball)," the next single off his album Priceless, due Monday.
"Me, Birdman and Wayne, we got this new song — I guess you could say it's like another 'Money to Blow,' " Drake said on set. "[The] three dudes that brought you the original are coming back, trying to make it just as big. It's cool, man, to come out here and see the classic Cash Money feel. Everything is really big. It's borderline cartoon. All the best things — the best cars, the best-looking women, the lights. It's one of those videos that's fun to do."
Birdman continued to say that while Drake is family, he has his own niche.
"Me and my son been working 20 years, literally. Working with Drake brings a different spark," Birdman said about working with Wayne and Drake. "[Drake's] got a different spark. He's him. He brings him to what we do. It's a different look. It brings something else to it. What I love about him is he does his own thing. He has his own thing with our thing and it makes it bigger. Drizzy!"
On the Birdman's official Twitter page, it was announced that Wayne's Rebirth LP and the Young Money album have both been pushed back to December 22.

Justin Bieber Mall Appearance Canceled After Stampede Erupts

Fans of 15-year-old singing sensation Justin Bieber might typically run a bit younger than most chart-toppers — but as the "One Time" singer learned Friday (November 20), that apparently doesn't make them any less dangerous.
A young girl was hospitalized after fans mistakenly started a stampede at the Roosevelt Field Mall on Long Island, New York.
Moments after the incident, Bieber updated his fans with a message on his Twitter account. Alluding to a difficult day for himself, his fans and security team, he tweeted, "The event at roosevelt mall is cancelled. please go home. the police have already arrested one person from my camp. I dont want anyone hurt."
According to TMZ, which spoke with employees at an Abercrombie Kids store near the melee, someone in the mall falsely screamed that Bieber was inside their store, causing a flood of young kids rushing toward his mistaken location. In addition to the young girl's hospitalization, several fights allegedly occurred.
In addition, Newsday reported that by 2:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, the crowds had grown so big and unwieldy that Nassau County police were called in. The crowds had gathered for a performance at the tween clothing store Justice, where Bieber was scheduled to perform songs from his eight-song CD My World, which just came out on Tuesday.
After many fans had waited in line for a day or more, Bieber (who recently co-starred with Diddy in the YouTube clip "Justin Bieber's 48 Hours with Diddy") learned that many of them hadn't left the mall, even after the incident with the injured girl. As the Nassau County police attempted to get the crowd to disperse, Bieber used Twitter to ask his followers to leave.
"[The girls] are inside crying," fan Alexandra Levine told Newsday. "They don't want to come out because they think he will still show up."

50 Cent Sees Himself Settling Down With A Family 'At The Right Time'

50 Cent gets very domesticated in his video for "Baby by Me." He has a wife (played by Kelly Rowland) and the three kids (triplet boys), and he flips burgers on the grill after a hard day at work.
Fif said the role wasn't too much of a stretch.
"I would actually yell at Kelly," Fif laughed. "I'd be like, 'You don't do nothing right. I told you to have one baby and you had three! You don't do nothing right!' "
Getting more serious, 50 said he seriously thinks about settling down.
"I think it could happen," he said. "You know, it has to be at the right time. I mean, you see Em make a decision to go home. He didn't want to wake up one morning and Hailie be grown. You know, your life in general, you gotta make choices at different points."
Fif is living the life of a bachelor for now. He said the last celebrity woman that made him say, "Damn!," because she looked so good, was his "Home of the Brave" co-star.
"Jessica Biel. Her body is like, 'Wooo-wooo,' " 50 said, making a bottle shape with his hands.
When asked to choose between Biel and Megan Fox, Fif was stumped for a few seconds. "That's a toss-up," he said. "Ummmm ... Megan Fox."
When it came to Fox or Halle Berry, 50 didn't have to think about it. "Halle Berry," he answered without hesitation.
Then came a tough question: Catwoman or Mrs. Smith? "Angelina Jolie?" 50 asked. "Angelina!"
Fif — who did say Halle was his all-time favorite beauty — could not decide between Jolie and Katy Perry.
" Angelina got all those kids from all those different countries," he laughed. "Got a lot to deal with."
