When Peyton Manning threw that interception in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLIV, Game says he felt the $1,000 he put up on the Colts slipping through his fingers. The underdog New Orleans Saints won the game and surprised a lot of NFL fans.

“I lost some money, man,” Game admitted. “I was going with the Colts, man — for no reason. The Saints or the Colts, that ain’t my team, man. I’d figured Peyton Manning wouldn’t disappoint in the Bowl, but he got his Jim Kelly on. He could have easily tied that game up. But [Manning] was outta the game. I know that face — it’s like that sick face n—as make when they knowing it’s a wrap. He couldn’t shake the face. He came out and played exactly how his expression was. He’s used to having it his way. [The Saints] came out there and did they thing, man.”

Game says he lost about $1,000 to Dr. Dre, his lab partner for his new LP The R.E.D. Album. The controversial MC watched the game at the Doc’s crib and even had a chance to reflect on his career while the Who played the halftime show.

“I was sitting outside of Dre’s house yesterday, me and Stat Quo. We was talking about my career and where he is with his and the people that were around that ain’t around,” Game recalled. “He was telling me, ‘N—a, you did the sh–, you went up against everybody,’ and we really right back here in Dre’s front yard talking at halftime of the game. [Stat] was going for the Colts too. He lost some money to Dre too — gotta throw him under the bus too. But yeah man, the way the life is and the way sh– happens, it’s crazy. But it’s a beautiful thing that a n—a is still existing in hip-hop and has the force to sell records.”

Game’s new album will also feature production by Pharrell Williams and Cool — Dre and appearances by Rick Ross, Ashanti and Justin Timberlake.

Former Aftermath Records artist Game has shown signs of returning to Dr. Dre’s renowned label after posting a photo wearing the company’s logos this weekend.

Although Game has yet to confirm or deny a comeback to Aftermath, he did, however, post an image with the record label pendants.

“It’s funny how things come full circle. R.E.D. http://tweetphoto.com/10625448,” Game wrote prior to posting the photo. “Somebody just hit me n asked: What are those “A” chains for ? now u know u need yo azz whooped !”

Timbaland put the House of Blues Sunset Strip up on Game last week. The West Coast MC represented for his hometown by performing the Timbaland-produced “Put You On the Game” and “Krazy” from March 23rd’s R.E.D. Album during Timbo’s Shock Value II concert.

He also freestyled about his favorite indulgence and tried to bring Drake onstage, but he had already left the building. Watch below.

Membership has its privileges. And when that exclusive association happens to be Timbaland’s Beat Club, you never know who might flash their membership card when he takes the stage.

At the packed House of Blues in Hollywood on Friday night, the roster was a who’s who of Timbaland’s pals, from Justin Timberlake and Drake to Keri Hilson and Brandy. The two-hour throwdown was a star-studded hit parade that only someone with Tim’s clout and deep address book could pull off.

The crowd might have been happy enough with Drake, but as soon as the rapper left the stage, L.A. native Game hustled on with his posse, rolling hard to “Put You on the Game,” then dropping an X-rated freestyle before giving the stage back to Tim. He wasn’t alone long, though, as Hilson was up next, strutting in wearing a shimmery silver crop-top over a black catsuit and trading verses with Tim on “The Way I Are,” then sticking around for her own “Turnin’ Me On,” “Knock You Down” and a funky taste of Bobby Brown’s “Don’t Be Cruel.”

Right around the time the national Hip Hop audience was being introduced to a place called Compton thanks to Eazy E and N.W.A., a new crew from the CPT were making their introduction to the world while strolling along some railroad tracks.

One notable name that tried to get it in with Eiht and Chill recently was Game. Chuck Taylor apparently attempted to join a revamped lineup of Compton’s Most Wanted that would include Game rhyming alongside his Compton forefathers.

“It was talk about it,” Chill revealed. “It was really Eiht and Game [just] choppin’ about it, and then me and Eiht choppin’ about it, so it wasn’t nothing that we really just sat down at the table and just inked out or shook hands and said that it was gonna be official. It woulda been a good look at the time, but Compton’s Most Wanted is MC Eiht, Tha Chill, Boom Bam, Mike T and DJ Slip. That’s like trying to add somebody back off into N.W.A. The fans we’re kinda mixed up [by the Game talks]. But I would love to get down with Game on some Compton’s Most Wanted shit. I would love to get it in with Gangsta Dresta, Game, DJ Quik, 2nd II None, MC Ren and B.G. Knocc Out on some Compton’s Most Wanted shit, that’d be dope – and Boss Hogg CPO.”

Even a tough-talking rapper like Game was moved after watching Michael Jackson’s This Is It concert documentary. But now that the DVD is in stores, will he be purchasing it?

“I’ve seen This Is It. The movie’s phenomenal, period. It made me shed a tear and everything ’cause I never seen Michael in that light,” reveals the West Coast MC, who recorded a tribute song to the King of Pop in the days following his death. “You would never ever think that he was like that. It let you see a side of him that you would never see if he was still alive.”

But despite his love for MJ, Game won’t be rushing out to pick up the DVD.

“The DVD we might not need,” he tells Rap-Up.com. “I seen the movie and the economy’s messed up. If I ever want to play it back, I got it in my [memory].”

Game’s fourth effort The R.E.D. Album is due this spring and is expected to feature contributions from Pharrell, Justin Timberlake, and Dr. Dre.

Compton born recording artist The Game and director Taydoe TV collaborated to provide Needy Families in their hometown with toys and clothes in the city of Compton during the holiday season. They also collaborated with Christian artist Eastwood and Institute for Maximum Human Potential (IMHP).

December 23, 2009 The parking Lot of Mount Pilgrim Church in the city of Compton starts to fill with families waiting for Christmas to arrive. Inside, the church’s reception hall, a lady in a red santa hat along with other representatives from the Institute for Maximum Human Potential (IMHP), Black Wall Street, and Taydoe TV work frantically to prepare the stations for the families.

Along one wall is a mountain of clothing donated by Black Wall Street, Famous Stars and Straps Clothing line, Christian Audigier, Karl Kani and several individuals. Volunteers are assigned to separate the clothes into male and female and arrange them on tables by size. Meanwhile other volunteers are frantically sorting toys donated by Mattel, Highway Patrol, IMHP, The Game, Black Wallstreet, Taydoe Productions and several other individuals into male, female and gender neutral sections. Once the Family had selected their choices they had the opportunity to have their pictures taken with The Game, Eastwood, Mrs. Brown and Taydoe.

Dontay “Taydoe” Kidd of Black Wall Street beamed as he watched the vision come together. He had spent the last few weeks soliciting the majority of the clothing given away at the event. “I am so happy we were all able to do this. The Game and I grew up here in Compton. We knew that it was time to show our town some appreciation, so when the opportunity arose to do this event I told him he had to be a part of it.” And he did, The Game ended up staying after all the families had received their items to encourage some of the young children who were dancing in the Church parking lot.

“It feels good to be here and to be a part of this,” he said, “Hopefully we will be able to do this again.”
