The Game Takes Aim at Kendrick Lamar — and He Brought Drake With Him

Last night, Los Angeles rapper the Game released his latest album, The Documentary III, a sprawling 24-track epic in which the highly opinionated West Coast rap staple lets a few things off his chest. Featuring appearances from Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Ye, YG, Black Thought, Larry June and others, the album also finds Game seemingly airing out some long-simmering feelings about none other than Kendrick Lamar. Most notably, he links up with Kendrick’s most famous nemesis, Drake, on the track “No Brakes.” (Drake ominously offers the hook, but no bars, alas.)

The apparent animosity has been bubbling for some time. Game and Kendrick were once publicly aligned: In 2011, Game joined Snoop Dogg and other West Coast veterans for a ceremonial passing of the torch to Kendrick. Things haven’t gone so smoothly since. Recently, TDE’s general orbit has appeared on podcasts and in interviews suggesting a hint of tension between the two going back to before any of Drake and Kendrick’s public beef.

Earth, Wind, & Fire Shares Health Update on Drummer John Paris: ‘Our Hope Is Strong’

Earth, Wind, & Fire offered an update on drummer John Paris, who was put into an induced coma after suffering a medical emergency earlier this month.

Paris, 58, has since woken up, according to statement shared with People by a representative for band member Verdine White. “Since our last few updates, there have been both encouraging moments and new challenges,” the rep said. “As we’ve said from the beginning, recovery isn’t a straight line, and John’s journey continues to remind us of that every day.”
