Dr. Dre and Game’s relationship hasn’t always been perfect. But the Doc is giving his protégé props for his new album Jesus Piece. The super-producer sent Game a text message congratulating him on the release and calling the album “dope.”

“The song with the D’Angelo sample ["All That (Lady)"] is fuckin Crazy. Great job,” he told him via iMessage.
“Couldn’t do it without you Doc,” responded Game, who shared their iPhone conversation on Twitter.
“When Dr. Dre STAMP the album…….. You know it’s a fuckin CLASSIC !!!!!” he wrote.
Dre produced “Dead People,” which appears as an iTunes bonus track on Jesus Piece, available Tuesday.
