Game Reveals Production For R.E.D. Album

This week, Compton rapper The Game revealed what fans can expect production-wise for his upcoming album, The R.E.D. Album. And it looks like the rapper has secured a number of high-profile producer’s for the album.
Pharrell Williams, RZA, and Cool & Dre are just a few of the producers who have lent their talents for The R.E.D. Album.
"I got this colorful movement over here where it's beautiful music on this side [with Star Trak] — then when I need to go dark or super grown and sexy, I got Dre over here,” Game told MTV. “The combination is crazy — mixed in with a Cool & Dre track and RZA track and all the shit I been doing. The only person I'm upset I didn't work with on this album is DJ Premier. I feel his shit would have been perfect for this all-star producer cast that I have. One Premier track would have did me just fine. I would have murdered that shit.”
"They got the intro to the album, which is titled ‘Infrared,’” Game explained. “All the real hip-hop fans, to hear me rap, how I'm rapping on my intro, it's gonna fuck people up. Before you get to #2, you gonna already know I'm serious.”
From all i have read so far about this album; him working with dre; working with RZA...i know this album is going to be "bananas", i just can't wait for it to drop.
IT'S GAME TIME!!!!!!!!!!

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?

WHO EVER THOUGHT NAS WOULD EVER WORK WITH LIL WAYNE?
Yeah, for real, who ever thought that NAS would be working with lil wayne? They record different types of music and are not alike in any way, except for the fact that they are both rappers.
When i read, a couple of days ago, that lil wayne was a guest appearance on the collaborative effort between NAS and DAMIAN MARLEY, for their forth coming album, DISTANT RELATIVES, it shocked me. And to think that the name of the track that wayne is working with them on the album is titled "my generation",. i think it is a bit out of place.
One thing, wayne is not in their generation, plus he don't record the type of conscious music that nas and damian have been known to bring to the table.
I know for sure that it is just a record label move to boost the album sales and get popularity for the album. I just hope wayne does not spoil the feel of the album.
