The Game shared his take on the state of hip-hop.

The Game shared some commentary on the rap game on his Instagram Story, on Tuesday night, admitting he's unsure whether the artists or the fans are softer. "Idk who softer these days," Game wrote over a black screen. "These rap n****s or the rap fans." The comments arrive following Kendrick Lamar's new diss track aimed at Drake, "Euphoria."

When DJ Akademiks shared the post on Instagram, fans continued to debate the feud in the comments section. "I speak for everyone in the culture when i say we stand with Drake. Drake won, anyone who disagrees doesn’t know hip hop," one user wrote. Another observed: "I'm starting to notice drake fans are similar to trump fans."

Lamar dropped "Euphoria" earlier in the day, taking aim at Drake by implying he's a bad father, discussing his race, bringing up his prior feud with Pusha T, and more. Many Drake fans took issue with some of the bars on the song and debate ensued on social media afterward. At one point, Lamar rhymes: "Yeah, my first one like my last one, it's a classic, you don't have one / Let your core audience stomach that, then tell them where you get your abs from."
