    TargetThe Game

    MeaningWhat it means: In “And his image is the 'West coast Savior' Must of been the only weapon in Hand,” Joe Budden converts lyrical defeat into death, shooting, burial, or bodily harm directed at The Game. Why it was said: Joe Budden and The Game exchanged records after Game treated Budden's G-Unit references as a shot at him. Budden attacks Game's newly marketed gangsta image, his place inside G-Unit and the difference between public threats and their in-person encounters. The violent image makes the response sound final: instead of proposing an endless exchange, the artist depicts The Game as unable to return for another round.
