Revisiting Stage Footage and Final Verdict on The Game's Legacy
Mackwop reviews an alternate camera angle of the torch-passing event and offers his final perspective on The Game's contributions versus his interpersonal moves.
At 27:00, Mackwop pulls up a second camera angle of the 2011 concert to examine the stage layout from behind the performers. He identifies himself in the background at 27:18, recalling how irritated he and other TDE members felt watching The Game take over the stage.
Mackwop points out at 28:05 how Kurupt, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre gave Kendrick his moment, while The Game continuously interjected and held onto Kendrick. Mackwop notes at 28:35 that he told people in the crowd to stand down rather than escalate things on stage, recognizing that it was still a historic night for the West Coast.
Wrapping up his stream at 30:30, Mackwop stresses that he considers The Game an undeniable West Coast legend who put on many local artists and contributed heavily to the region's rap history. However, at 31:45, Mackwop concludes that the small interpersonal details, questionable moves, and public antics explain why Kendrick Lamar and TDE chose to move on without maintaining a relationship with him.
