The Game recently reflected on the making of his debut album, "The Documentary."

The Game says that working with Eminem on his debut album, The Documentary, for the song, "We Ain't," was one of the "highlights of his career." The rapper reflected on the collaboration during a recent interview with VladTV.

"I went to 8 Mile. I went to Detroit and I stayed out there for about a week and we did the song out there," The Game began. "Watching Eminem record and his whole recording process, that might've been one of the highlights of my career. I don't know if you want to call it weird or legendary or some Einstein type of sh*t, evil genius type of sh*t, but Em is a very complex and different individual in good ways."

He continued: "When he writes raps, he turns the paper around and he just writes in circles. When he reads it, he turns it back the opposite way-- when we were using paper. I don't know his recording process these days. He also, back in those days, Eminem would just eat Taco Bell and drink Mountain Dew like it was like Snoop would smoke weed. But, that process was dope. I'm forever grateful for being able to experience prime Eminem and his essence in Detroit. That's one of the highlights of my career." Check out the full comments from The Game on VladTV below.
