40 Glocc Releases Game Diss, "The Full Edit"

40 Glocc finally responds to Game.

By now, thousands have seen the July 7 incident that took place in Hollywood, California, where Game and his entourage jumped 40 Glocc and put it on YouTube.

Since then, 40 Glocc has filed a lawsuit, and Game has spoken on the matter numerous times.

Now, 40 Glocc has responded on wax, releasing a diss towards Game titled "The Full Edit."

The track, which clocks in at under two minutes, addresses the altercation (sort of): "They know I'm on trial, I ain't have a burner on me / Try to pull a Tina Turner on me with a burner on me / What the fuck love got to do with this shit? / Try to edit this shit while I edit your bitch."
