It would always say \u2018now hiring,\u2019 and I figured, you know, one day I probably can manage this thing and then be [the] district manager. I\u2019ll be running Home Depot. I don\u2019t know why I had that idea in my mind, but that was number one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo rap was No. 3, which ended up being No. 1 because it was the easiest to attain. I felt like cause all I would have to do is get this notebook, study some of the greats, and then I would have me some bars. Well, even though I thought it was that easy, it wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Game | Ep. 137 | ALL THE SMOKE Full Episode | SHOWTIME Basketball\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JpYBWYikysM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Luckily for The Game, he pursued rap fully and things turned out okay for the \u201cHate It Or Love It\u201d rapper.
