The Game

  During an interview with Music Choice, a visibly choked up Game expressed his frustrations with the inactivity from the hip hop community when it comes to social issues. You can see the entire thing unfold in the video below, or simply read a quote at the bottom of this post. "I reached out to alot of artists and I told 'em what I was gonna do for Sean Bell and alot of them just... I got a gang of excuses. Nobody wanna stand up and be a man. We don't have a p... MORE

  Last Week The Game announced his third album L.A.X. would be delayed two weeks from July 8th to July 22nd. Well it appears he's not actually finished recording, so the album will now see the light of day on August 19th. This isn't COMPLETELY bad news, L.A.X is almost sure to have a collaboration with Young Buck, now that the Cashville artist has been kicked out of G-Unit. Game & Buck were always two of the closest members of the faction. The two are already in the lab... MORE

The Game appeared on Caron Daly's talk show last night to discuss why he's retiring from hip hop and his plans to let fans design a new tattoo. Being on the road touring has obviously taken a huge chunk out of his "daddy time" and he wants to be there to drive his kids to karate class every day. Being that he grew up in a Foster home, I  imagine it's really important that he devote more time to his children than the average musician.

Looks like babies are all the rage this month...

The Game's two sons, Harlem Caron, and King Justice (yes, those are their real names) will appear on the cover of L.A.X. Before you say he's biting Lil Wayne with the baby thing, remember Harlem appeared on the cover of The Documentary's special edition in 2005 (pictured at the bottom of this post).

The original street date for Game's L.A.X. was July 1st, which turned into July 8th, July 15th, and finally July 22nd. These sorts of things tend to happen when your new single isn't generating enough interest. Although his new single "Game's Pain" with Keyshia Cole is charting well, it's hard to wrestle the spotlight away from Lil Wayne and Nas right about now. In other news... The Source magazine has scrapped a controversial cover featuring The Game holding a gun under... MORE

"Pain" falls JUST short of being a huge Cali summer anthem. The song is good, its pleasant, and Keyshia sounds great on the track. However, I think it's missing that ONE ingredient it needs in order to become a huge hit. I hope I'm wrong though, can't wait to hear L.A.X.

The Game kicked it with Funk Flex for 20 minutes and talked about the creation of his new album. One interesting thing about the collaborations on Game's album is that they were all done in-studio together. In today's world of music, most rappers just exchange .mp3s and never actually meet in person to do a song. For the drama fans out there Game also touches on Suge Knights fight, and 50's chain snatching in Angola.

First up is a super low budget video for "911 Is A Joke" from The Game. This is a straight-to-internet affair, intended solely for the members of Game's official website. 911 Is A Joke is a song made after the controversial verdict in the shooting death trial of Sean Bell. Next is G-Unit's video for "I Like The Way She Do It". Although this video was released straight to the internet also, It's not as low budget as the clip above. This will be the first single ...

Big Dreams was recorded immediately after Game's whopping 8-day jail sentence (he gets no points for that, Paris Hilton stayed behind bars longer). The reason I mention the jail is because the energy on the track is crazy. You can tell he had been sitting around for a while and just wanted to get in the booth and wild out. The craziest part of all this is, Big Dreams is the best single The Game has released since "One Blood" and according to him, it may not even make the... MORE

Here's a little music from The Game inspired by the Sean Bell verdict on Friday. David Banner dropped a freestyle verse while in a jam session with The Roots on Sirius radio. You can check that out below. The Game has been a little more vocal about the case, releasing "911 Is A Joke (Cop Killer) on his official website. He told SOHH.com that he tried to get other rappers on the song but everyone declined. He went on to articulate how disappointed he is in the h... MORE

Three NYPD officers who fired 50 rounds into a vehicle killing 23 year old Sean Bell, were acquitted on Friday of manslaughter charges. Several members of the hip hop community have spoken out with disappointment in the verdict, including The Game, Cormega, Prodigy and Papoose. The Game plans to release "911 Is A Joke" on his official website later today, which speaks on the incident. "I'm outraged and speaking out for my generation that are afraid to speak out against...

The Game's L.A.X., G-Unit's Terminate On Site, and Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III were given new release dates yesterday much to fans dismay. G-Unit, Lil Wayne, and Nas are now scheduled to be released on July 1st, while L.A.X. hits shelves on July 8th. The Game called in to a San Diego radio station yesterday to explain the delay and talk a little bit about the album. The highlight of the interview is that The Game mentions a possible summer tour with Lil Wayne. “We tryi... MORE

The Game was released from jail after only 8 days for pulling out a gun in a school zone, but he's not done with the courts just yet. Shannon "Royal" Rodrick is suing The Game for punching him in addition to pulling out the gun. Rodrick's lawsuit claims that "he suffered extreme and severe mental anguish and humiliation from the incident as well as physical injuries." The sponsors who put on the basketball event are also named in the suit because they "neglected to protect... MORE

After days of back and forth conflicting statements from lawyers, managers, and jail representatives, we can finally confirm he IS a free man. The Game was released on March 10th after just 8 days of incarceration. Today, Game released a statement to Allhiphop.com apologizing to fans for the confusion and misinformation.
"I apologize….but due to the sensitive negotiations on this matter I felt it appropriate not to give an exact date on my release," The Game said in a state... MORE
