“Gimme dat beat fool, its a full-time jack move” – Ice Cube in Jackin’ for Beats off the Kill at Will EP.

Game has been sued for $100,000 by a producer over a beat used on his highly successful California Republic mixtape.

According to TMZ, the producer, Infamous, claims he gave Game the beat to “Skate On” in 2010, shopping the beat to him in hopes Game would use it. Infamous alleges he never heard from the Compton rapper but his beat was used on the free mixtape without his consent.

Infamous, who stated that he generally charges $20-25K for a beat, says he reached out to Game, via a letter, in April, but did not get a response.
