 The Game tells the 1515 Boys that he wants to extend an olive branch to 50 Cent.

“Jimmy always says, ‘Man, I told you guys not to break up the Beatles. He says he told John Lennon the same thing a long time ago. But I was young, man. I was dumb. I did a lot of dumb things. I felt me and 50 clashed. I’m not gonna dis 50. I’m not gonna go back on the plane. He had his side, I had my side. I did what I felt was necessary for me and my career to have longevity and survive in hip-hop and music to be around when I’m Quincy Jones’ age — not just be Quincy Jones’ age, but be a Quincy Jones. Now, four albums in, I can honestly say from Banks to Buck to Dre to Yayo to whoever, if it would have kept going, endless paper. Millions of albums sold — because we were great together. Me and 50’s chemistry was like how Method Man was to Redman when they get in. You know when Method Man gets with Redman, it’s going down.” 

No peace talk, no white flags?

 Nah, nah, nah, nah….Hey, hey, hey….

YN Update:

Shallah recalls meeting MJ and actin’ like a groupie before dedicating his verse from Mobb’s “Eye For An Eye” to him.

Ironically, I was in the studio with Chef when he laid that vocal down. A young journalist at the time, I tried to not act like a groupie. Ha!

Looks like VIBE had more in store. Here’s an outtake from their annual Juice Issue cover shoot. Sigh. Guess you to gotta learn to live with regrets.
