So by now you all know what Purp & Patron is, and should just be getting introduced to Purp & Patron: The Hangover. On Purp & Patron is a song called "Heartbreaker" produced by RZA. The only problem with this track being on the record is it's not supposed to be there. No, you read that right, it's not supposed to be on the record due to not being able to clear the track. Game was to notify RZA if it was going to be included on the album so he could refrain from selling it. Last week, Game confirmed the cease-and-desist letter from Universal Music Group. RZA layed it out on Twitter, but still claims love for Game.
"The issue boils down to we, wanted to get the song on the album that was coming out for Game at the time. We went to the studio that night and Game felt the track and it was all good. The issue came about when it did not make it to the album because there was not enough time to clear the track. We spoke with Tony Martin, who informed us that the track would not be used and if it was, we would be notified. Now, that being said, they put it on a mix tape and never said anything to us; and we got an offer to have the tracked purchased by someone else.
So this is not anything personal, and RZA has nothing but love for Game, but this is business and in all fairness, it would have been cool if they would have just let us know what the intent was, because we began soliciting the track for purchase and its looks like this was a double sale issue when it wasn’t."
