Earlier today, HipHopDX announced that The Game’s album L.A.X. was pushed back (with a similar move on G-Unit’s part). On San Diego’s radio station 93.3, The Game called in to verify the date, as well as talk about a few other matters.
Known for his name dropping, The Game explained his reasoning for listing several past great MC’s on his newest single “The Pain,†featuring Keyshia Cole [click to listen]. “My whole rap thing, my whole thing in Hip-Hop is to always educate or to take it back and pay homage, that’s what I’m all about.â€Â
This was his first chance to get in the studio with the bay-native Keyshia Cole since his career took off in 2005. “Keyshia Cole, you know she’s from California. She is one of the dopest young up and coming R&B singers out man. I always wanted to work with her since the beginning. She’s like a little sister to me and always has been since the beginning of both of our careers.â€Â
Of course, no love has been lost between him and G-Unit, so it was inevitable that he would throw a couple verbal punches in the interview. “I pushed his album back, I’m Mr. Interscope. I pushed his back to the 1st and then a week later on the 8th I’m gonna come behind it and I’m gonna clean up all the broken CD’s.â€Â
He also announced a possible tour with Lil’ Wayne. “We trying to get something together now. I think me and Weezy going out this summer on the Blood Brothers tour, we gonna do all the states. Nothing solid [yet], but you gonna see Game out with somebody or somebody out with Game man cause it’s time to get back to work.â€Â
L.A.X. is due out July 8th.
