California rapper, The Game, is being sued for $100,000 by producer Infamous over the alleged use of his beat on the hip-hop star’s new mixtape.  Infamous claims to have sent the beat to The Game for a listen, but never receiving a response, and assumed the rapper was not using it.  TMZ reports:

Hip-hop producer Infamous produced a song for The Game’s most recent mixtape — the only problem is he claims never got paid for it … this according to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.

According to a lawsuit filed in California, Infamous (real name Marco Rodriguez) claims he did work for Game all the time, so he had no problem sending him a beat to listen to back in 2010 … so Game could decide whether or not he wanted to use it.
