On The Rap Game episode ‘So Hype!’, Jermaine Dupri brings in former Bad Boy rapper and Biggie protégé Jadakiss who Dupri refers to as “the Rap Game.” Dupri brings Jadakiss in to help the kids with their lyrics. Each young rapper gets a one-on-one with Jadakiss. When it’s Dee’s turn, she barely looks at him. Afterwards, she explains that when she does look at the audience, “they look at me and judge my life.” Jadakiss teaches Dee (and the other rappers) how to turn haters into fans.

Jadakiss knows what he’s talking about. Years ago he used to have a beef with 50 Cent. (It started with Ja Rule’s “New York” track which featured Jadakiss.) It got so heated Jadakiss allegedly challenged 50 Cent to an onstage rap battle in Madison Square Garden for $1 million. It never happened but things eventually worked themselves out and the two rappers even performed together at 50 Cent’s ThisIs50 Festival in 2009. The Rap Game airs Fridays at 10pm on Lifetime.
