Compton rapper Game struck #1 with the debut of The R.E.D. Album and ruffled a few feathers in the process with his track “Martians vs Goblins.”

 

In true Game fashion, he goes after several celebrities, Rihanna and LeBron James included. The 31-year-old rapper tells Vibe.com, “The reason I did that was because I was on a song with Tyler. When you’re on a song with Tyler you can say whatever the f*ck you want.”

 

Taking it a step further, he then compares the young MC to Detroit’s finest, explaining, “I think he’s like the west coast Eminem.”

 

The compliment stems from Tyler’s willingness to speak his mind, even if it’s way out there. “He just rhyme about whatever and it's like right out of an open book. I like him more than I like most new rappers. He don't really want anything other than just to rap.”

 

Talk about an endorsement.
