Game says and i quote, "I just wrote the best song of my career"

Game recently said he just recorded the best song of his career; i hope so, because he has been off the scene for too long. He didn't make the mtv top 10 hottest in the game list, and he also did not make B.E.T's top ten rappers of the 21st century, so i think he needs to drop something that would put him back on the map. I am a big fan of his music, so i wish him the best with his comeback.

Below is what he had to say-


"I just wrote the BEST SONG of my career & I owe 2 ALL OF YOU !!! You will understand when you hear it. #time2celebrate," Game wrote Saturday (November 6) night.
"It's called L.O.V.E. = "Let Our Violence End" produced by TIMBALAND" (Game's Twitter)


I can say anything till i hear it, but what i am interested in is him getting back on his feet.

game about to drop another mixtape wholely produced by duo producers "cool n dre"

Yeah, game is about to drop a follow-up mixtape to his RED ROOM mixtape, titled BRAKE LIGHTS, but what people really want is his album, THE R.E.D album, which is has been pushed more times than necessary. I guess he doesn't have the type of buzz that interscope is worthy enough to drop his album. This is going to be his fourth album, and although he worked on the last two all by himself, this one has the control of JIMMY IOVINE and "dr dre".

I am a GAME an i really can't wait for the albu to drop, but i feel what he is going through, when you don't have total control to your work, there are a lot of things you can't just pull off like that. I wish him luck. I do know that this mixtape would be a banger because that is what he makes when he works with COOL N DRE.

Below is what he had to say about the mixtape:
"Here go the 1st single M.I.A. off the me & @djskee new mixtape "BRAKE LIGHTS" hittin streets next week.http://tinyurl.com/2fx7u75," Game tweeted Thursday (July 15) night.

"Every beat on the BRAKE LIGHTS mixtape is produced by @coolanddre & hosted by @djskee. This tape is serious, better than most n!ggas albums." (Game's Twitter)

WHICH RAPPER WOULD HOLD IT DOWN FOR 2010.



Which rapper do you think is going to hold it down for this year? We know JAY-Z had it on lock last year, and LIL WAYNE had the rap game in a chock-hold the better part of 2008, so who do you think is going to hold down the rap game this year?

Let me add that I have to recognise GUCCI MANE, even though I don’t really feel his style of rapping and I don’t know why he was so hot for a time. He started building steam around late last year (2009), and then he held it down through out, till earlier this year, before heading off to jail. But you still view his videos on MTV, every now, and then, and also video’s of other artist in which he was featured.
I still would like to know what got every body crazy that made them start putting him on their songs. It was like he was the new weezy.

Gucci could have had it good, he could have had a chance to reach the peak of his career if he had not gone off to jail, or rather gone back to jail for violating parole. I never get biased in any of my decisions or what I say, so if I say I am not feeling Gucci, and I still mention him, then you know I am just keeping it real. I have to admit though that there is a guest appearance I heard him on that blew me a way. His guest appearance on the YOUNG MONEY album; the track he did with lil wayne, “steady mobbing”, now, his verse on that song, I must confess, always gives me goose bumps when ever it comes on.

Enough of Gucci and off to the next one; I think T.I has a chance to hold the rap game down this year. Although it is march, and there is nothing new from him, and there was nothing new from him through out last year, because he was in jail for a year and a day, I think he has the right energy to pull off something before summer.
I have followed T.I since his inception; since when he had the beef with LIL FLIP (I have to say that I was riding with flip at first.), and I know the kind of energy the guy has when he wants to achieve something. He might not be the most lyrical, but I can say he is one of the most consistent rappers to date, along side JAY-Z. So, I feel T.I can be the hottest rapper for 2010.

Another mention would be YOUNG JEEZY. I have to tell you, I like his singles, and I like when he guest appears on other people’s songs, but I always find it hard to listen to a jeezy album from start to finish; maybe it is because his style never really changes. But he has managed to gather a lot of fans since his 2004/2005 debut, and he has promised to bring a lot to the table this year. Plus, Defjam as a recording label, have said they are all behind jeezy for his upcoming album; his 4th, so far.

I can’t but mention THE BOSS, RICK ROSS; the dude is one determined individual. He had one of the best rap albums of last year, DEEPER THAN RAP, behind Jay-z’s BLUEPRINT 3, and REAKWON’S ONLY BUILT FOR CUBAN LIINXS2. You would think the dude would relax and enjoy some royalties from the album, but nope, he is out and working, appearing hear and there to keep his name fresh in the media.
He is about to drop his 4th album, TEFLON DON, sometime in the summer, and he has guest appearance on DJ KHALEED’S VICTORY album, and has shot a video for one of the features.

The last, but not the least person on the list is none other than the Compton Top dog, THE GAME. He already has a street single, BIG MONEY, which is bumping on most people’s deck’s and has shot the video to the official first single, SHAKE, produced by COOL N DRE.
I tip my hat to game, as he managed to make it back with the master producer, Dr Dre, something that a lot of people thought was impossible, a couple of years back. I think with the guidance of the good doc, he could pull out a masterpiece with his upcoming album, R.E.D; which is his official fourth album.

Yep, those are all the rappers I give it to hold down the rap game for this year. What do you think of the list?

GAME INTERVIEW


I bumped into this really interesting interview of COMPTON rapper, GAME, on hiphopdx.com, and i decided to post it up in here. It is a really info filled interview, and i think you would love it.


It's less than two weeks away from Game's thirtieth birthday. Few seem to realize that the youthful, energetic, and once death-defying rapper is reaching that benchmark in his life. But then again, looking at Ice Cube, Dr. Dre or Snoop Dogg, do gangsta rappers ever really grow old anyway?

If there's one sign that Jayceon Taylor is closing out the third decade of his life, it's his happiness. Speaking with HipHopDX on the evening of November 18 (seven hours prior to publication), the once evasive, sometimes confrontational and always outspoken rapper beams with a confidence and a care in his words. Yes, he still curses like a sailor in a tone reserved for a sidewalk executive, but Game isn't out to offend anybody this time around. Instead, just as the acronym for his R.E.D. album indicates, he just wants to re-dedicate himself to Hip Hop.

The father of two touches upon his recent reunion with one of his mentors, Dr. Dre. He explains why he refuses to "get murdered on his own shit" and why he's chasing down DJ Premier for a pan-am collaboration that he hopes will set Hip Hop ablaze. Two years removed from considering retirement, Game is smiling in the face of adversity. And this time it's sincere.

HipHopDX: I want to start where our last conversation left off, I think it was June, 2008. At that time, you weren't even sure you were going to make another album at all. But you told me, if you were, it was going to be D.O.C. - Diary of Compton. You were talking all these legendary guests and this theme. Maybe that still is a plan of yours, but at what point and why did it evolve to the R.E.D. album?
Game: The way it happened...I was starting to work on D.O.C., right? But, like I told you last time, in order to record The D.O.C., I need to be in the studio with D.O.C., with [Dr.] Dre, with [Ice] Cube, with Snoop [Dogg] - 'cause it's the Diary of Compton. I really want it to sound like...like, after you finish listening to The D.O.C., which will probably be recorded and put out by the end of my career, at some point, when I can get in with those guys and really focus on that project. I want you to feel like you're from Compton after you hear it. You felt everything that I felt and knew everything that I knew; I want it to just sound like you were me. I want you to feel like you grew up with me. You're from Compton [hearing Eazy-E for the first time]. I want you to be on The Diary Of Compton. I want it to be that intimate and that crazy. So to pull off that concept, the key elements were missing at the time when I started the album, so I stopped that project.

[What I was working on], the fans just started calling it R.E.D. for some reason, I don't even know. I had [previously] said that I would re-dedicate myself to Hip Hop, and they just took that and was like R.E.D. - rededicated. I went along with it, man. It's just crazy how God works, 'cause the album is about 80% done. It's just fantastic. I found my groove again, not that I lost it. I've always figured out how to re-invent myself in Hip Hop with all these albums. This album is gonna be classic, I swear. This is my favorite album since The Documentary. The Documentary wasn't even my favorite album; my favorite album was The Doctor's Advocate because I know what it took to put that album out, get it out and go against Interscope. Beefin' with 50 [Cent], it was hard to get that album out at the time, but I did it. I went against all odds and I proved people wrong. That, to me, is my favorite album. But lyrically, as far as albums being conceptually great from beginning to end, [The Documentary] was classic. This R.E.D. album is gonna be that. It's raw, man. It sounds like a first album. Only it's not a first album.

DX: From your catalog, the records that really stand out to me are "Dreams" and "Ol' English," joints like that. You've always been able to keep it emotionally gangsta on records in a way that streets respected. In 2009, Kid Cudi and Drake have gotten a lot of credit for really writing and rapping about issues like self-doubt, depression, family troubles and so on. Meanwhile, guys like you, DMX, 2Pac, Scarface and Joe Budden really were doing that for a while now. As you were going in that path five years ago, do you think it came at a cost, and how do you feel about it being so embraced now?
Game: People say things like "Hip Hop is messed up," and it's this way and that way, but what you need to realize is that there's nothing wrong with Hip Hop. It's just evolving, and you need to evolve with it or else it's gonna shake you and you're gonna become a has-been. Me, I change with the times. Whatever Hip Hop is, I try to make my music a little bit more up-to-date without losing who I am as a lyricist, as a person and as just someone who existed in Hip Hop with you and the rest of the world.

I love Drake, man. Drake is of substance. I think he's gonna be around for a while. I wish he would hurry up and put out an album, 'cause dude is great. I remember when I first came out and there was no [Young] Jeezy. Then Jeezy came around. I like the buzz rappers. I like when you hear a buzz, and then you see the bee. I love when you hear the buzz, then you see the bee in action makin' honey. It's crazy. I seen Jeezy do it. I'm seeing Drake do it, and I like when that happens. I appreciate those guys. They're of substance and they're part of my band of brothers in Hip Hop.

Me, back then, I didn't really think about the risk or the consequence. That was just rappin', man. I was just doin' what I do best, and tell the world about certain situations and give them a piece of me.

DX: You're one of the only guys I get excited about when you're featured on somebody else's record. I can use examples in Rick Ross' "Push It (Remix)", Sheek Louch's "Think We Got A Problem" and Snoop's "Gangbangin' 101." You always treat those verses like they were on your albums. Where does that come from in your work ethic, and is it something that you think you demand of guests on your projects?
Game: I don't want to say anything to offend any other rappers and their albums. But it seems like whenever I call somebody for a feature, I've just been lucky enough to fuckin' have them bring their A-game. Like most notably, Common on [L.A.X.]. I called Common. I was like, "I got this record called 'Angel', and Kanye [West] did the beat." All he said was, "Yo, I'll be there in an hour. Angels? I write about angels all the time." Common came in the studio, dog. I pulled [the instrumental] up. He heard like two minutes of it, then he went into the booth. He was done in like 45 seconds. He shook my hand, and he bounced. I swear to God, man, with people I get on my songs, I don't know what I do or how they feel about me, but it must be something cool, because they bring out their A-game.

I remember, it must have been the beginning of 2001...I'm riding through Compton in my old ass [Chevrolet] Caprice. I had a '96 Caprice. I'm ridin' through Compton and I heard Nas say [on "Ether"], "And Eminem murdered you on your own shit." That line just stuck with me. I never wanted anyone to eat me up on my records, and I never wanted them to eat me up on their records. The reason why I call myself Game or the reason why you can understand I'm Game is 'cause I can always emulate any rapper's style. I can't do Busta [Rhymes] and I definitely can't fuckin' do [Ludacris]. But as far as [Notorious B.I.G.] and Nas and [Jay-Z], I can emulate those styles and make 'em my own. So when I get on records with artists that are my friends and that I favor, I can just jump in their lane and try to do it better than they do it. That's not sayin' I can do it better than them, or I am better than them - it's just Hip Hop. It's competitive, like basketball, football, fuckin' golf. I just try to exceed expectations every time.

DX: You mentioned the '96 bubble. Along with Dr. Dre and King Tee, I've always thought you've had one of the most interesting wheel-hands in Hip Hop. From the videos to the photo-shoots to the XXLMag.com piece about the Impala with the bad engine, I respect the car talk. In your life and all the cars you've owned, what's been most personal to Game?
Game: Aw man! The most personal to me, out of all the cars that I've ever owned had to be this fuckin' [1970] [Chevrolet] Chevelle. I sold it, man, and I've been kickin' myself in the ass ever since then. I had it in the "Put You Onto Game" video, if you've ever seen that. That car was crazy. I bought it from Omaha, Nebraska. It had one owner. It only had like 15,000 miles on it. That motherfucker would go!

I sold it to this guy, that kept pressing me. Some white kid from San Diego wanted to buy it for like $90,000 and I sold it, 'cause he had the cash. Two days later, I was tryin' to get it back. No. He would not give it back. If I ever had a car that I would want to be buried in, that was fuckin it man.

DX: 350 engine?
Game: Yeah. Fa' sho', man. That's crazy that you knew that.

DX: One of the biggest stories of the year is you and Dre back in the studio together. I only have one question on that. Dre has many styles. You like words. In your words, tell me what the work you've been doing sounds like. Is it drums, keys, is it big choruses? Is it sparse choruses? What can you tell me, because this is big...
Game: Hey man. I made a vow. You know Dre doesn't really talk about his record...

DX: Okay.
Game: Nah, I'm just...he don't really talk about his records. Plus, I don't like to do it. You know what Dre's like. I know it. So I'll give it to you, without really givin' to you. When you go in with Dr. Dre, man, be prepared to be at your best. If you're not at your best, and he has the patience, he'll help you get to your best. If Dre doesn't like what you're doing, he'll disappear. You might not see him for a fuckin' year. That's what I'm sayin'. You've got to go in and you've got to be focused. Dre is the epitome of a producer.

When I look at the word "producer," if there was a fuckin' Hip Hop Dictionary, I would see Jimmy Iovine, Quincy Jones, Pharrell, Kanye, and Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre and Quincy Jones and Smokey Robinson, as far as black music, those are producers. Those are guys that can change your fucking life. Those guys can help you. With what they do with their fingers and their guidance, [the music] will put your fuckin' kids through college. I look at them like that. When I go in with Dre, I go in focused. The places we've been going lately is catastrophic. The things I've done for Detox is crazy, and the songs that he's given back to me out of his apprecation and the kindness of his own heart for having me on his record are just crazy, man. Crazy!

DX: Along with that, I interviewed DJ Premier in late 2005. He told me he was a big fan of yours, but that he'd also offered you some advice early in your career. As you talk about producers, you've worked with a lot of veterans - Buckwild, DJ Toomp, DJ Quik - and certainly Dre. That being said, as you talk about rededication of your love for Hip Hop, will there ever be a day when we hear Game on a Premo track?
Game: That's crazy that you say that, 'cause I been tryin' to fuckin' record with Premier this whole album, but he been doin' this Christina Aguilera shit - not to say "shit" like it's wack, or she's wack. She's great; I respect her and her craft. But man! God damn! If I can get with Premier I know I can make one of the best songs of my fuckin' life. Because that's Premier, and I'm Game. I just respect and love his work so much, and I feel like I can do what Nas did to Premier beats. I want a fuckin' Premier beat, but he won't send one. He wants to [make one with me present], but I can't [track him down]. This dude is busy. It's like, "I know you Premier and shit, but I'm Game. I need a fuckin' beat."

It's the same thing I had to do to Pharrell. Pharrell got two tracks on [R.E.D.]. For three fuckin' albums, I've been chasin' Pharrell down. He's been busy, I've been busy, but I finally got in with Pharrell. Now Pharrell understands. He's like, "Damn. Workin' with Game is crazy. This guy's work ethic is crazy and he dope." Now, me and Pharrell are goin' for the next three days, starting tomorrow. If you know Pharrell, you know he just gonna keep recordin' and recordin' and producin' on you. So me and Pharrell hit it off the first time we went in, now we goin' in again.

Premier, man. If you talk to him, man, I need a fuckin' Premier beat. It's almost frustrating, 'cause I know he gonna make me something crazy, and I know I'ma body that mothafucka. I just need it. I need it. Put that shit in bold print. [Laughing]

DX: Speaking of bodying tracks, what would you say is your proudest verse to date?
Game: My proudest verse is a verse that you have yet to hear. I've got a song on my new album, and it's called "Ricky." When you hear it, you'll understand why it's called "Ricky." This song is #2 on my album, just so you know, and everybody who's reading your work [knows too]. When you hear this song, it's my best work. When 'Pac said "this is the realest shit I ever wrote," this song is monumental. It'll be a west coast classic. This song is fuckin' crazy. Just remember I told you, man.

DX: You've got a birthday coming up, and it's a significant one - if Wikipedia is right, anyway. Tell me, is "30 the new 20" for Game?
Game: Nah, man. Wikipedia says my birthday is November 27, that's Thanksgiving. My birthday's on the 29th, to set the record straight. Thirty is 30. I got a couple gray hairs in my beard. My oldest son is seven and my youngest is almost three; I'm somebody's daddy, man. I ain't tryin' to be 20 no more. I'm 30, and 30 is 30 and that's it. But I ain't 40 though. I know that shit. [Laughs]. And when I get there, we'll talk about that.

GAME TALKS MORE ON THE RED ALBUM AND WORKIGN WITH DRE.


You know i am a big GAME fan, so you would always here it first, anything that has to do with him and his album, i got that for you. Even if it has to do with his personal life, i got that to...nah, i am just joking; it's all music hear, all about what is good in rap.

Several weeks ago, GAME surprised people on his TWITTER page when he posted a picture of him, SNOOP and DR DRE; up before then, people thought he would never get with dre again. Following the 2005 disbandment of GAME from G-UNIT, DRE's silence on the matter, made everybody believe that he was on 50's side; so as long as game and 50 still had their beef, people never believed they would see game and dre together again. And the fact that dre did not appear on, or did any production on game's last two albums, L.A.X and DOCTOR'S ADVOCATE, further cemented this in the mind of a lot people. So, it was really a big shocker to a lot of people.

The picture showed the three in the studio, and game twitted that they were working on DETOX, dre's album. Now, and recently, game has been talking about the good doc putting some work in on his album, THE RED ALBUM, and that would be real good news for the game fans.

I am a game fan, and i know he got mad skills, but sometimes, he does not know in what direction to go. I think this link-up with dre will do a lot of good for the album. I can't wait till it drops in FEB, Feb 16 2010, to be precise.

Below is what game had to say about the matter when he called into DJ GREEN LANTERN'S show, recently:

"R.E.D., I'm just painting the whole world red," Game promised in an interview with DJ Green Lantern. "It's basically the re-dedication, it's my most hood and street album since The Documentary so it's basically being rededicated to my fans, my family, my kids, my block, my hood. Like, hip-hop, the R.E.D. Album is gonna be crazy. I'm back in with Dre everyday going hard in the studio doing the little stuff, working on Detox with him and he's working on The R.E.D. Album with me. It's just, we got a good feeling out here...I did my last two albums without Dre and even though, I just did it on my own man. When I talked to him, he [was like] I've been doing a good job and he took a listen and I did my thing. I learned well, my time at Aftermath was spent well, so getting back in, that old feeling came back. The chemistry is crazy, I got a lot of love for that dude and that's why I never really disrespected him or really went at Aftermath, I only did what I had to do to survive man, but I got love for dude and we back in grindin' man."

50 CENT ON GAME AGAIN.




50 CENT is at it again, you can’t expect less from him any time he is about to drop a new album. But I think going at a THE GAME again, is really not a good option. 50 cent recently made some negative comments about Compton rapper, game, in an interview, bringing up the past and talking about “the game” G-UNOT campaign and saying he did not get what game was trying to do with the whole movement. He then further talks about games alleged stripper past, and also claims that game was actually stripping for his mom’s strip club, how funny is that.

I think when 50 found out that the moment he has dreaded all this while had come, and his album was really going to drop, after he had been pushing the release date forward for the last 10 months or so, he thought he had to do something to gain some last minute buzz. Also, the fact that he would be going against RIHANNA and KONVICT MUSIC sign –on, LADY GAGA, on his November 23 release date he knew that he had to do something fast to save face. He even dissed LIL WAYNE about two months ago, but wayne was smart enough to ignore him. Then he, out of no where, brought back his beef with FAT JOE, mocking the first week sales of joe’s latest album (J.O.S.E 2).

After I heard that DR DRE had called up game to guest appear on his long awaited album, DETOX, I knew 50 cent would start catching feelings. I guess it is clear to all the people that game is a talented artist now, because people were always writing him off after the publicized beef with 50. They kept saying 50 wrote all his songs, and made him who he was. Okay, I agree that 50 wrote the hooks for the main hits on documentary, but it would not have translated to a hit album if game was not a terrific rapper. And I guess the good doc knows this and had to get him on his album. And it’s funny that it was after snoop, dre and STAT QUO had been in the studio for months recording, and they just felt there was something missing, and snoop talked dre into calling game to add his flavour to the album.

I can’t really say if game would reply to 50’s recent comments, and I do not know if I want him to respond or not. I kind of wonder what would be the outcome of all this, because I know that dre and 50 are still cool, and snoop is cool with 50, but the fact that snoop and dre are in the studio everyday with 50’s enemy, I hope 50 can stand that And i wonder if they would run into each other one day at the studio. I actually thought he was going to squash the beef with game, after game got back with dre, but I guess he is still jealous. He kind of wished game would not make it this far. He thought that game would be washed up after the second album. Hell, he didn’t even believe the album would go platinum.

I can actually say 50 has been watching game’s career, and praying for him to flop at every drop of a new album. I remember in 2006, when game dropped his second album, THE DOCTOR’S ADVOCATE, 50 kept following the sales. There was a time game’s sales reached 800k copies, and the sales slowed, and then every other interview, 50 would mock game and talk about how he sold so much when he helped him, and how now he could not go plat. Then the album managed to reach 900k copies, and 50 knew exactly how many copies the album had sold, because he was quoting the sales in every interview. Then game dropped the video for “wouldn’t get far”, with KANYE WEST, and the single boosted the album to platinum status (1 million copies), and I never heard anything from 50 again.


Let us forget sales, game has shown massive improvement since his first album, and he would keep on growing and dropping dope music. Yes he might be bi-polar, yes he might be a name dropper, but you just can’t deny the fact that the kid is nice on the mic.

WHAT'S UP WITH HE GAME.



A couple of weeks ago, THE GAME posted a picture of he, SNOOP, and DR DRE, in the studio working on dre's upcoming album, DETOX, before then, game had been silent for a while. He was on a EUROPEAN tour the most of the summer, during which he also had verbal battle with JAY-Z, but he just went silent after a while. I am happy to be hearing some good news concerning his fourth album, THE RED ALBUM.

GAME said via TWITTER:
"R.E.D album soon, wrapping this mothafucker up in 30 days! JIMMY IOVINE told me to tell ya when this shit drop, merry xmas! BWS/AFTERMATH, and shout out to my new labelmate, DIDDY. Welcome to the ice house homie. Good looking for your contribution on R.E.D. Anybody know a street nigga from L.A that can just rap like a mothafucka??? I'm signing me a nigga today, where you at??? Holla RT!!!"

Now, if game says 30 days, believe it is gonna be 30 days. That nigga is one hardworking son of a bitch when it comes to something he puts his mind at. I can't wait to hear the end result, and i wonder where 50 CENT stands with the new relationship game has with dre. Because i can remember when 50 was the shit, and he said he would not have anything to do with dre if dre ever worked with game. I can't believe game pulled through all those tough times when he was abandoned. I guess that's just proof of how determined he is to make it in the rap game.

Duo producer, COOL N DRE, have been producing for game since his first album, and they had this to say about working with game on his latest project:
"It's a fucking great experience working with 'the game'. To know you have someone that you consider family and the music you guys make goes every time. Every time, it's just a great chemistry. Like 'hate it or love it', it went huge, our first 'number one' record of our career. 'My life' top 10. 'Big dreams', a record that didn't get no push, fucking charted. He's dope, the new album is so retarded. We did some shit, we are going up there this week. We did a couple new records. We are trying to completely produce the whole thing. But you know it's tough, people will step up there and level shit for game. So you know, it's dope because it forces us to step it up...it's dope because he goes in there and writes a fucking classic record. You know what makes game dope? He respects the art form, he loves HIP-HOP so much, like he respects classic records."

I always believe, when you want to know how good a rapper really is, listen to producers they work with. The producers work with them from the creative part of the song, when the song is just an idea, till when it is complete. So the producers know how creative rappers are, and how dope they are. Unless the producer is just another ass kisser, he should be able to give the best judgment on how good a rapper is.

Hearing this from cool n dre just makes me hunger more for the album. I guess he would release the project around winter, around December. I hope NAS would be done with his album too around then and drop it around the same time. They have been doing that for the last 2 albums now. 'doctor's advocate' and 'hip hop is dead' dropped a couple months apart in 2006, and so as 'l.a.x' and 'untitled'. And they featured themselves on the two of their projects. I hope this friendship continues and they do more works together, on their upcoming albums. Two very dope rappers.

GAME BACK WITH DR DRE.


I remember telling people that DR DRE was planing to use GAME, EMINEM, and 50 CENT as guest artist on his album, DETOX. That is the strategy(using a hot protege) dre uses on all his albums; on the first one, he had snoop all over the place; on chronic 2001, he had snoop again, he had eminem, he had exibit, he had mel man...

I was telling peeps back then that detox would not drop untill game gets on it. Game is from the west, the hottest west coast cat of back then, when dre was really trying to get detox out. Game is still the hottest act from the west, and incidentally, is also from COMPTON, the city dre is from. I just new it was only a matter of time before dre got back with game. Now that the 50 cent beef is almost dead, and 50 is less relevant than he was back in 2005, dre has gotten back with game.

SNOOP, GAME, AND DR DRE are presently in the studio working on DETOX. The picture, which snoop and game put on twitter is an evidence. I wonder what 50 has to say about this. Dre was quiet all that while because he didn't want to take sides, but every body knows who the doc really respects on the mic. Hate him or love him, game is a beast on the mic. And with dre's guidiance, it is another story.



BELOW IS GAME'S TWEET ON THE ISSUE.

"CAN U SAY "DETOX" ??? IN THE STUDIO WIT DRE & SNOOP. WE BOUT 2 MAKE ALOT OF PEOPLE MAD. RIDE WIT US OR GET RAN OVER ! AFTERMATH OR DIE !"

SNOOP ALSO TWITTED ABOUT IT:

"What's more gangsta than dis?," he wrote. "N the studio right now!!! west coast takeover. this is how the west was one!!!"

WHAT DIRECTION IS HIPHOP GOING.

I am heart-broken when i read hiphop sites, watch hiphop videos, and see where hiphop is gravitating to. Everybody is just trying out the next man's formular to success. It's a crazy band wagon effect thing going on in hiphop right now. And the legends are not being left out.
Now a days, rappers talk more on interviews and on the internet than they make music. They get into fueds just to be relevant. They talk about other rappers just so they could be heard. Where is this genre that i love so much heading to?

When you see 40 year old rappers talking about beating each other up in the streets becasue they believe that is what would give them recognition, you start to think if they are still in hiphop to make music or just to cause chaos.
When a veteran like raekwon would stoop so low as to get into an alctercation with a rapper from another generation, joe budden, weeks before his album is about to drop, just to get him some buzz, then you know hiphop as nas said, is really dead.
Now it's so pathetic that everybody is now using the beef formular. You could imagine, mc shan, a rapper from the 80's, probably in his fourties, talking about slapping joe budden if he see's him in the streets. Benzino running his mouth about slaughter house(rap group consisting joe budden, joel ortizt, crooked 1, and royce da 5'9), saying they are over-rated. Those guys are probably the only ones trying to save hiphop right now(buddens bullshit aside).
Nas has always been ahead of his time. When he said hiphop was dead, a lot of people dissagreed with him and started beefs with him. But look at the state it is in right now. It is worse than dead.
Now you have rappers like drake being celebrated before he earned the title, just because a couple of top-short label heads, and certified rappers co-signed him. The kid does not even have an album out. No doubt, he is good, but not increadible. But with all the media hype and propaganda, and visual cancer, he has become a house-hold name. And even if a royce, or a cassidy, or a jadakiss puts out a dope album, it would never be as good as the album drake would drop because it is already planted in the minds of people that he is the best.
It's just a handful of rappers that can still do what they do, the way they want to do it, without minding to add all the gimicks and wack formulars for selling album; you can say t.i, young jeezy, jay-z, jadakiss, rick ross, the game and nas.
50 cent has been pushing his album back for months now, because he knows he is not going to do the type of numbers he is known to do. If you make good rap music, then you should not bother about what you are going to sell in your first week. But if you are only making music just for the money, and you just want to give the public what they want, regardless of whether or not it would be compromising your standards, then your case is a sorry one.
You have a rapper like tony yayo, who's career is done, and now he has nothing else to do but go on interviews and constantly make bad comments about other rappers. Is that still a rapper or a commentator?

I pray that real hiphop comes back to stay

GAME'S D.O.H(DEATH OF HOVA) CAMPAIGN.(PART 1)

Compton-California rapper, the game, has been on a fuck Jay-z campaign for several weeks now, ever since jay put his name in a freestyle recently. Jay claims there was no disrespectful comment towards game in the song, but game challenges jigga for even bringing up his name at all, knowing that he was not on good terms with game in the first place.
Eventhough the game has been on a european tour since the feud blew up, he has never-the-less slow tracked his rain of disses on jay. Disses in all forms, from on-stage disses at concerts, freestyle disses from hotel rooms, through interviews and a full-fledged direct diss track at jay-z, titled, i'm so wavy.
The latest of the movement is a d.o.h(death of hova) t-shirt which he arranged for in mass production at his present tour location in australia and is having it shipped all over the continents.
Wow! Is this going too far or what? But we know what game is capable of.
One would also stop and ask if this is just another publicity stunt. Controvercy sells.

HIPHOP SCENE IS BECOMING PEACEFUL. (PART 2)

In the last 10 months or so, a lot of rap beefs have been squashed:
T.I ended his long time fued with fellow atlanta rapper, ludacris. He also ended beef with shawty-lo, before going in to serve his one year jail term, on gun possesion charges.
50 cent ended beef with the whole d-block clique(jadakiss, sheek louch and styles p). He also ended beef with the dipset clique(juelz santana, jim jones, freeky zeeky and camron).
California rapper, the game, ended his beef with joe budden. And he recenty apologized(via an interview on mtv) to 50cent, dr dre and eminem. Who would have ever thought that would happen.
It would be good to see all the talented rappers in hiphop do collabos together instead of beefing and arguing about who is better than who.
