The Game thanked his fans for supporting the album, which he maintains is better than any other Hip-Hop project this year.

The Game dropped his highly anticipated album Drillmatic: Heart vs. Mind on Friday (Aug. 12) after several delays.

While fans are still waiting to see if Eminem will respond to “The Black Slim Shady,” the Compton rapper has nothing but gratitude for supporters of the album. He took to Instagram Live to chop it up with his followers and show his fans love.

“Everybody that supported the album,” he said to the camera, “everybody that showed me love with this Drillmatic s###… Everybody that’s bumping it, sending me your favorite songs, posting it on your story, that s### means a lot to me.”

The Game then continued and applauded himself for his longevity in the industry. “It’s dope to be 20 years in… and still get the love and the support from my day one fans and everybody in the world.”

The 31-track, feature-packed Drillmatic: Heart vs. Mind includes assists from some of Hip-Hop’s heavyweights. Kanye West featured on “Eazy” and also on “Fortunate” with Dreezy and CHILLER and pulled up to the release party to perform with The Game. Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, NBA Youngboy, A$AP Rocky, and Big Sean also make appearances.
