Back in November 2012 Gucci Mane issued a challenge on Twitter to fight anyone who was interested.
"I'm challenging any rapper friend or foe in the ring to a boxing match. Put yo money up. Who got hands not raps. Who wants the challenge," Gucci tweeted at the time. "All Deez Pussy ass rappers -- The proceeds from the ring will go to charities. You scary ass Rappers."
It wasn't long before The Game took him up on the offer. The fight never materialized, but Gucci apparently recorded a diss record as an answer back.
Take a listen to "The Definition" up top. Produced by Zaytoven. Gucci's Trap House 4 project drops on the 4th of July.

Video After The Jump
The Cali Swag District have gotten a lot of credit for the “Dougie” dance craze that has swept the country, but the originator of the dance is actually hip hop legend Doug E Fresh.
Fresh stopped by ESPN recently to talk about how he created the dance, and to grade a few of the sports stars and tv analysts technique.
I thought it would be cool if we did the same and vote on who did the best “Dougie” this year.
We’re excluding the professional dancers from the poll like the Cali Swag dudes and Chris Brown.
So check our 9 contestants out below and vote for your favorite.
Doug E Fresh Talks To ESPN About Originating The "Dougie Dance" 20 Years Ago
Free-agent quarterback JaMarcus Russell told ESPN's Colleen Dominguez that he tested positive for codeine after the Raiders selected him with the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft.
"I missed all of training camp, so I didn't get tested when all the other guys got tested," Russell told Dominguez during an "Outside The Lines" interview, the entirety of which can be seen at 9 a.m. ET Aug. 22. "I had a prescription from a doctor, but it wasn't the team doctor."
Russell also said he has used codeine without a prescription, but scoffed at reports that he had a drug problem.
Russell said the allegations of drug use stem from that positive test, and said he has not used codeine in three years.
When asked about Russell's positive test, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said, "No comment."
The former LSU star -- who had missed the 2007 training camp because of a lengthy contract holdout that stretched to the start of the regular season -- said the Raiders came to him and asked him about his possible drug use early in his career.
"Around the time when I first got there or a year after I got there," Russell said, when asked when the Raiders confronted him. "[They] said they were gettin' word in the streets about me using drugs. Then, one of the doctors came to me."
The Raiders released Russell in May, and he was arrested in July for alleged possession of codeine.
Two days after his arrest, the Raiders released a statement saying they "did all they could to intervene and assist with a myriad of issues with JaMarcus Russell."
When Dominguez read the statement to Russell during the interview, he seemed startled and told Dominguez the Raiders' words caught him off-guard. Russell said he had never seen or heard the statement before.
Russell, who was just 7-18 in his three-year career with Oakland, also criticized Raiders coach Tom Cable for blaming him for the team's failure to make the playoffs.
"It kind of took a lot out of me for the respect of Tom Cable," Russell said. "I could have been the worst in the universe. To go on national television and say it was all my fault. ... He's the head coach. I don't think that was very head coach-like, or man-like."
On Wednesday, District Judge Charles McKnight questioned the credibility of the testimony given by Marcus Stevenson, a longtime Russell friend who said he made the codeine-laced drink found in a July 5 raid at Russell's home. Stevenson testified Wednesday that the drink belonged to him, but the judge sent the case to a grand jury.
Mobile County (Ala.) Sheriff's Deputy Johnny Thornton testified the orange-colored drink in Russell's bedroom appeared freshly poured. Investigators said Russell, who was in the bedroom, told them it was his Kool-Aid. Thornton said it later tested positive for codeine.
Thornton also said there were nine people in the house and a codeine bottle without a prescription was found in a cabinet.
Russell's attorney, Donald Briskman, said in an interview with The Associated Press after the hearing that the codeine bottle was in a cabinet at a distance from Russell's bedroom. He said Stevenson told an officer at the home that it belonged to him, not Russell, but authorities took no action against Stevenson.
"They didn't arrest him at the scene. They targeted JaMarcus. ... He should have been discharged today," Briskman said.
Stevenson testified at the hearing that he mixed the drink and didn't make it for Russell. After the hearing, Stevenson was handcuffed and charged with possession of a controlled substance. He was released on bond.
Stevenson's attorney, Greg Evans, raised objections to the questioning of his client, citing his rights against self-incrimination. He later said Stevenson "was sworn to tell the truth and that is what he did."
It could be months before the grand jury decides whether the evidence warrants an indictment.

How has writing songs been for you?Gucci Mane: Unfortunately I've been to jail a couple times. Anytime I come in it's difficult to make music, write songs. This time, I have a peace within me. I've been so excited to get out. I've written about 50 to 60 songs.AP: How much has your jail time been a setback on your career, which was at the peak?Gucci Mane: With money and selling CDs, I can always do that.
