Here is the next single off of L.A.X. which drops on the 26th of August. There are two versions of this track, one of them has an alternate verse because some controversy has sparked regarding a line in the track. In the track, Game spits, "All the pictures of me and Em, I burned them, so there ain't no proof I walked through 8 Mile/ And so since it ain't no Proof, I'll never walk through 8 Mile/ Sometimes I think about my life with my face down/ Then I see my sons and put on my Kanye smile." Some people have taken this as a shot at Eminem so The Game released this statement regarding the line and his decision to release an alternate verse:When I originally wrote the song “My Life” I was trying to think back on events that affected my life and how they changed me. When I first got signed to Aftermath and G-Unit I was exposed to so many different people from Dre to Em to 50 to Proof. I always identified with Proof. We were always cool and he would reach out to me when ever I was going through something I remember when Proof died vividly and now every time I think about going to Detroit I get depressed. That is what I was trying to say in that verse and the more I looked at I realized that people would take it the wrong way…the way they are taking it now that it leaked. So I decided to change it so that this bullshit wouldn’t happen and now it’s happened anyway. For the record, this is not the version on my album, this is not the version that radio will get and this is not the version that I just shot the video to. Furthermore, I apologize to anyone who took this the wrong way as that was never my intention.
Whether The Game is being honest with this statement or not, I think that was a smart move because I don't think any MC wants a beef with Eminem. Anyway, sorry for the long post here are the tracks.
