The Game Created ‘The Documentary’ In The Back Of U-Haul Truck
It has been a little over 15 years since former G-Unit member; Game released the hit album ‘The Documentary” in 2005. The classic album had hits such as Hate It or Love It” featuring 50 Cent, How We Do”, “Westside Story,” which Rolling Stone Magazine said it was “sort of Los Angeles’ version of “In Da Club,” back in September 2007.
In 2006, the Hate It or Love single, snagged a Grammy Award in the Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. Fast forward to December 2020, the Grammy Award-winning artist was on Club House and revealed, that he wrote most of the classic album in the back of a U-Haul truck.
Per Trish Daves, who is a Sports Broadcaster, The Game indeed wrote most of the album in the back of the U-Haul truck.
Game was also recently asked about doing a ‘Verzuz’ Battle, and he answered that 50 Cent is the only artists he would want to face.
“You can’t really talk about Fif and hip-hop without somebody bring up Game, and you definitely can’t say Game without somebody saying, ‘But, oh, 50 wrote all your hits. You ain’t shit without 50,” he said. “It’s a Game and Fif, and Fif and Game thing. And so, as far as the Verzuz is concerned, that is the only person I would even entertain doing a Verzuz with, because it just makes the most sense and nobody else can really go with me.”
We will have to see if that makeup will take place.
