===The Game=== In early 2005, a feud between The Game and G-Unit began. Even before The Game's first album, ''[[The Documentary]]'', was released and their feud became public, there was tension between The Game and 50 Cent.<ref>March 2005 issue asks about The Game and 50 Cent's physical altercation. ''VIBE''. Retrieved July 26, 2007.</ref> Soon after ''The Documentary''{{'}}s release, 50 Cent felt that the rapper was disloyal for saying he did not want to participate in G-Unit's feud with other rappers, and even wanting to work with artists with whom G-Unit were feuding, such as [[Nas]] and [[Jadakiss]]. 50 Cent also said that he was not getting his proper credit for the creation of the album. He also said that he wrote five of the songs, but The Game denied that. During that dispute, The Game confronted 50 Cent at the [[WQHT|Hot 97]] studio in [[New York City]] and members of The Game's entourage began shooting at 50 Cent and other members of the G-unit entourage, causing them to flee the building and causing Hot 97 radio security to shoot a member of The Game's entourage.<ref name=Beef>Rodriguez, Jayson (March 1, 2005).
