Game Disses Shyne On "Cough Up A Lung" Freestyle

Following Shyne's comments against Kendrick Lamar's album, Game puts the rapper in his cross-hairs.

Game took offense to Shyne's comments branding Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city as "trash," to which Shyne responded by calling him "my little son."

Now, the Compton, California native puts the beef on wax with the release of a song and video for his freestyle "Cough Up a Lung" that goes in on the former Bad Boy emcee.

In the video, Chuck Taylor stands in the snow in New York City, rapping acapella and lacing into Shyne. "Let's address that bitch ass nigga going at Kendrick / Say the album's trash, nigga you full of gas / Poke holes in you, let you fill up a New York cab / Nigga in Belize all into his feelings 'cause he did 10 years for shooting at the ceiling / Then he gave you a mil, little nigga should have chilled / Cute curly sideburns, talkin' 'bout he real / Check my resume, any nigga want it, I bury 'em / But fuck this nigga, he can't get into America."
