After years of tension and subliminal jabs, conflict-obsessed rapper The Game got his wish when Jay-Z finally dropped his name while performing the Blueprint 3 intro. Never one to shy away from beef, rap fans knew it was only a matter of time before the Compton rapper responded, and sure enough early Saturday afternoon Game dropped a full-fledged diss song against Hov called "I'm So Wavy."

It wasn't a TKO in any sense, but don't think Jayceon's going to throw in the towel anytime soon. Dude has racked up more beef in the five years he's been in the hip-hop game than, well, probably anyone. Don't believe us? We've compiled all 25 of Game's disputes into one comprehensive blog post, staggering evidence that the dude doesn't play nice with others. Take a look back below...

THE GAME VS JAY-Z (2005 - Present)
Cause: Who really knows? The Game has been dissing and praising Jay-Z since his first album. "Dear Summer", particularly the DJ Clue version, was once viewed as Hov's most open diss towards Game. They also traded subliminal lines on Game's "It's Okay (One Blood)" and Jay's "The Prelude."

BONUS:THE GAME VS GREENSBORO POLICE (2005)

Effect: While giving a fan an autograph, The Game was pepper sprayed and taken down by Greensboro Police. The incident resulted in an arrest and charges for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
