Rapper The Game has reignited his war of words with Jay-Z, claiming the hip-hop heavyweight is not "hardcore" enough to respond to his taunts.

The Dreams hitmaker, real name Jayceon Taylor, first took offence to Jay-Z when he mistook a lyric in one of the superstar's songs as an attack on him.

Jay-Z denied the rumors and insisted there was no ill feeling towards The Game.

However, the Los Angeles-based Mc still continued on his counter-attack, and took shots at Jay-Z and his artists at Roc-A-Fella Records at a 2005 gig in London.

He rapped in a freestyle: "Memph (Memphis) Bleek can suck my d**k/Beanie Sigel can suck my d**k/Jay-Z can suck my d**k/Roc-A-Fella can suck my d**k."

The 99 Problems star refused to retaliate, and insisted he would rather "Just let him (The Game) commit suicide".

Now The Game has taken aim at Jay-Z again, accusing the rap mogul of being a coward for not responding.

He says, "I'm too disrespectful for Jay-Z, I go to hard. His beef is mediocre beef, it's more swag and less hardcore. Me, I go in on your grandma, your kids and your girl? It will get ugly and I don't mind... So basically, let me commit suicide because I'm the only cat to commit suicide and resurrect every time... "
