Check out Game with his black on black new crocodile, suede Louis Stewart backpack and duffel bag set from the Louis Stewart Collection.
Gangster rapper Game doesn’t want to be referred to as a gangster rapper anymore — but it’s not because he’s changing professions … it’s because he’s trying to win a court case.
The gangster rapper’s legal move is part of a lawsuit that was filed against him in 2008 — in which he’s being sued for allegedly punching a guy during a pickup basketball game and then pulling a gun on him.
In the new documents, the gangster rapper is asking the judge to 86 all references to him being a gangster or gangster rapper during the trial … because he’s afraid it would prejudice the jury against him.
In the docs, the gangster rapper also doesn’t want any mention of his lyrics during the trial … because they contain references to violence and profanity.
Game brought out The Black Wallstreet family to get busy on the mic at the 2010 Dub magazine auto show in California.
Check out photos from Game’s performance at the DUB Magazine custom auto show and concert in Anaheim, California on March 7, 2010.
After Lil Wayne’s sentencing Monday (March 8), his family, fans and friends are definitely bummed to see him go.
“It’s f—ed up,” Game said about his friend and “My Life” collaborator’s jail time. “I don’t like it all. I don’t have one good feeling about it. I’m happy Tip is coming out, but sad that Wayne and Gucci gotta go in. I don’t like to see that. I like for my n—as that co-exist with me in hip-hop to win. I don’t like to see [for example] Fab go to jail just as much as he don’t want to see Game go to jail. That sh– is wack.
“As n—as is approaching their 30s, the end of their 30s, and becoming hip-hop veterans and legends, we gotta become a little more wise,” Game continued. “Everybody makes mistakes. I’m pretty sure at this point, Wayne is kicking himself in the ass for the sh– he did. But n—as is fathers, n—as is growing. With age comes wisdom, man. We’ll learn and we’ll get it all together. As long as we stay together, we’ll be straight. This sh– is a brotherhood. Long as we got each other, we’ll be straight.”
Game said he would love to see that solidarity among his peers come to light with everyone joining together to make a positive song with a message.
“We’re a bunch of [guys] from the same country that came from the same struggle, we grew into the same dominance,” the Compton MC said. “Remember ‘Fight the Power’ and ‘Respect Yourself’? … We gotta get back to that. ‘All in the Same Gang’ — when n—as gonna do one of them? On some cool sh–. That’ll be cool. We gotta figure it out. But I don’t wanna be a part if it if the n—as I admire and whose music I listen to is in jail. When Wayne do his six months or eight months and Tip get all the way out and Gucci is out, [we artists] can we really do it. These are the n—as that do it in hip-hop right now.”
Here’s a behind the scenes video of Game’s photo shoot for Urban Ink magazine. Thanks to Nicole for the video.
This is some quick footage of a studio session with Game and Cool & Dre working on the R.E.D. Album.
On Friday, rapper Game took to his Twitter and tweeted to followers, “After a year of trying to GET PAID, da lil homie [Bow Wow] to give me the rest of my $100,000 ! R.E.D”, along with a picture of what appears to be an exchange.
One minute later, Bow Wow chimed in and tweeted, “Rt this!! Just paid [rapper, Game] his 85,000$” along with his own picture of him handing over a black Louis Vuitton backpack to Game.
Apparently the two had a bet over who would win Madden 2009, with Compton bred rapper taking the victory.
As referenced in his tweet, The R.E.D. Album is the fourth studio album by Game which is slated for release March 23, 2010. The new album boasts production from Timbaland and Polow da Don, with guest appearances by Jim Jones, Jadakiss, Gucci Mane and more.
Bow Wow is rumored to be working on a new project as well titled The Transition To Shad Moss with the first single from the album titled “Dirty Girl” featuring T-Pain and Pitbull.
Tiger Woods is set to deliver an apology for infidelity in front of a select audience tomorrow in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Before he addresses his situation publicly, Game has some advice for the embattled golf pro. The Compton rapper tells Rap-Up.com that Tiger was looking for love in all the wrong places.
“Tiger Woods should have found his wife in [Los Angeles'] Ladera Center or Fox Hills Mall,” he says. “And then he would’ve been straight.”
Tiger’s relationship with his wife Elin has been subject to public scrutiny, and Game has a recommendation for the fellow father.
“You gotta get you a ride or die chick, man. Mine’s gonna ride or die for me.”
Meanwhile, Game is focusing on finishing up his fourth effort, The R.E.D. Album, due March 23.
Drummer and Blink 182 member Travis Barker has revealed to Spinner.com that he has secured a number of Hip Hop artists for his debut solo album.
When Blink 182 took a break from music several years ago, Barker began to work with a number of artists in the Hip Hop community and his penchant for Hip Hop will be quite clear when his album is released. Game, Beanie Sigel, Lil Wayne, and Rick Ross are just a few of the artists who will be featured on Barker’s solo album.
“I’m not singing or being an emcee or anything,” Barker told Spinner.com. “Over the last five years, when Blink wasn’t around, I played a lot by myself or did a whole bunch of stuff with just me. Whether I was playing with T.I. or doing whatever, it just opened another world for me.”
It is still unclear what Barker’s solo album will be titled or when it will be released.
“I’m rounding it out right now,” said Barker. “I just love music. The more I can be around it the better, so with my album it’s no one genre. It goes from everything from punk rock to Hip Hop to some electro stuff on there to a metal song with Corey Taylor from Slipknot. It’s been really fun and interesting up till now.”
Thanks to Anto, here are scans of Game in the French magazine Rap Mag for the February/March 2010 issue.
Game, Fabolous, New Boyz, J Cole and B.O.B. will be performing at DUB magazine’s custom auto show and concert in Anaheim, California on March 7, 2010. Tickets are available now. Click on the flyer below for more information.
Just a few years ago, Game was throwing straight lava at Ja Rule, Irv Gotti, Ashanti and the rest of Murder Inc. during the G-Unit wars with “the world’s most talented record label.” Since leaving the Unit, Game has become friends with Ja and Irv and even recently collaborated with Ashanti on a track for his upcoming The R.E.D. Album. Dr. Dre, who produced the track, suggested the pairing.
“Hey, man, it’s ‘No beef 2010.’ That’s the trending topic on this interview, man,” Game laughed. “Dre called me and he was like, ‘You got any current-day problems with Ashanti?’ I was like, ‘Nah. I ain’t got no problems with Ashanti.’ She can sing like mutha—-a and you put her on a hook, it’s automatically radio. So he was like, ‘I’mma have her come down.’ “
Within an hour, Game, Dre and Ashanti where in the studio working on music.
“Dre was going through beats and I picked one. I was like, ‘Let’s try her on this hook.’ Me and Ashanti wrote the hook, I went in on the verses and that was it,” he explained. “The song me and Ashanti did, it don’t even have a name for it yet. It’s crazy. We just did that a week ago and I ain’t even name it.”
Ashanti seemed excited about the record as well, posting a photo from the session on her Twitter page.
“Awwwwwww sh– it’s a problem!!!!!” she wrote. “Me DRE & GAME in the lab ohhhhhhh booooooy this is a SMMMMIZAAASHHH!!!!!”
Game’s R.E.D. LP, which also features production by Pharrell Williams and a collaboration with Justin Timberlake, has a tentative release date of March 23.
“I got so many amazing records, I don’t know if I should go hard to the streets or go radio,” he said about the first single.
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.
