Are Kendrick Lamar & Game Cooking Up New Mixtape?

Game and fellow Compton spitter Kendrick Lamar have been working together for years, most recently with Kendrick appearing on Game's "The City" off of last year's The R.E.D. Album.

Word on the street is that the two have been secretly working on a new collabo mixtape.

"Oh man, that sounds tight," Kendrick told XXLMag.com about the collabo last week in Los Angeles. "That's a good rumor."

Although he denies a mixtape is in the works for now, he did open up about what it's like working with Game.

"Me and Game in the studio is war," Kendrick said with a smile. "Game is out to be the best. I'm out to be the best. When you have two people in the lab that has the chemistry... Sometimes you'll have two good artists in the lab and they don't have the chemistry. Sometimes you have to [distinguish] people from being rap friends and real friends. But we have the best of both worlds. When you have two of us in there trying to write the craziest verse, it's going to come out to a crazy song at the end of the day. That's what's needed in hip-hop: friendly competition."

Kendrick says Game is always there with some valuable advice.

"I got in the lab with Game in '06," Kendrick shared, "I go all the way back. I was on one of his mixtapes. He gave me the opportunity to showcase my skills. Just the vibe around him, he plays the role of big homie. He obviously done touched spots in this industry that I'm trying to touch. Every time I'm around him he schools me on different aspects of what to do and what not to do. He's made mistakes that he's manned up to and admits. Just being a man and coming to me at that just shows me the ropes. It's all love. It lets me know I have genuine people that are in it for my best interests."

So if the mixtape ever comes to fruition, would Dr. Dre give the duo some beats?

"Hell yeah!" Kendrick said emphatically. "If this was a good rumor, all the way past rumor times two, you would definitely get one of them [Dre beats]. I'm just now hearing about [the rumored mixtape] truthfully."
