King N.E.R.D. Pharrell Williamshas been talking up The Game, calling him one of the most underrated rappers in hip-hop.

He told Hard Knock TV: "The Game is one of the most underrated MCs in the game. Pun intended. He is, he is. I mean the things that that kid says? He's a problem, he really is man. West Coast mentality with an East Coast understanding.

"He's just, he's a quintessential emcee. I'm sorry; he's one of the best. Just because he is, you just would never know that. But that guy, he has like maybe 30 or 40 records right now for The R.E.D. Album.

“So he's just picking the best 12. I mean, we worked on a huge body of work. And he has some great records from Dr. Dre, he has some dope records from Cool & Dre, he worked with DJ Premier."
