Debunking Flakko's Claims on The Game and Kendrick Lamar
Mackwop refutes claims that The Game took Kendrick Lamar on tour, clarifying that Jay Rock was the one on tour with Kendrick acting as hype man.
At 0:43, Mackwop pauses DJ Flakko's video commentary to correct claims about the history between Kendrick Lamar and The Game. Flakko asserts that The Game supported Kendrick early in his career by taking him on tour and embracing him when Kendrick needed support.
Mackwop directly rejects this narrative at 0:44, clarifying that The Game never took Kendrick Lamar on tour. Instead, Mackwop notes that The Game brought Jay Rock on tour, and Kendrick accompanied Jay Rock as a hype man. Mackwop emphasizes that while he respects The Game's status as a West Coast legend who held the region down for years, commentators like Flakko spread false narratives about West Coast hip-hop history.
Continuing at 2:06, Mackwop explains why Kendrick Lamar eventually distanced himself from The Game. He argues that Kendrick did not cut ties for no reason, but because of actions and moves made by The Game that created distance between them. Mackwop stresses that when someone brings rival figures into the city or acts against the team, communication naturally stops without needing a formal phone call.
