The Game Says He Cut Harsher Takes and Possibly a Drake Verse From 'No Brakes'

He says the edits were meant to keep focus on the music to avoid escalation of conflicts on the West Coast.

Overview

  • In a radio interview on Tuesday, The Game said there were multiple earlier versions of the Drake collaboration “No Brakes” and that he removed lines he called “not really too kind.”
  • The rapper suggested he may have pulled an unused Drake verse from the track, saying he took things off the album because he did not need them.
  • Game said he altered the album broadly to protect the West Coast and to keep attention on the music rather than on personal conflicts.
  • Fans and commentators still read some released lines on The Documentary III as jabs at Kendrick Lamar, but The Game has denied he is dissing anyone and urged listeners not to create narratives.
  • It remains unclear which specific lyrics or performances were cut or whether alternate versions will surface, and the missing material has increased interest in possible unreleased takes and future disclosures.
