With 50 Cent’s latest mixtape taking shots at former cohort The Game, the ongoing rivalry between the two rappers seems to have no immediate end in sight. Now the Compton rapper has returned the favor by jacking Young Hot Rod’s first single for his own mixtape.G-Unit rookie Young Hot Rod – who signed to 50 Cent’s label eight months ago – is putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album, and his first single “Be Easy” features R&B songstress Mary J. Blige on the chorus.But imagine the Phoenix rapper’s surprise when the Game snatched his track, both the instrumental and hook, and used it to call out 50 Cent once again on his own mixtape, “The Game Presents The Black Wall Street.” “You know, we was going through beats and everything, [and] Game wanted to hop on it and say some things,” said DJ Skee, who helped put together the street mixtape.“He addressed the [50 Cent] mixtape cover and everything, but he didn’t do the [whole rhyme] about them.
