i know The Game made various mixtapes, for example Charge to the Game, im trying to collect all of them, so please provide a list of all his albums he has made including mixtapes, thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.199.21.95 (talk • contribs).
I'd like to add a link to a recent allhiphop.com news story that speaks of The Game's new album being pushed back to late summer, instead of the 6/6/06 release date currently shown for the sophomore release "The Doctor's Advocate."
The link is: http://allhiphop.com/hiphopnews/?ID=5682
The section also notes The Game being one day younger than fellow rapper Chamillionaire. Citing their birthdays November 28 and 29th respectively. Contradicting information basically, saying The Game is one day older. - snang

Who Got Game?
From what I have heard in many game interviews his brother Jevon and his father had ties with the Nutty Block Crips. I do know forsure his mother was a hoover crip(she even admitts to it in the documentary. But is games Father a hoover crip or a nutty block?
there has been said that game is leaving aftermath,is this true?
The Change of Heart pic featuring Game has nothing to do with him being a rapper. I don't see its purpose at all. It is more likely an attack on his credibility by some haters. I have now removed it, but hope someone will replace it with a more appropriate photo. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.168.9.87 (talk • contribs) 21:37, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Game has been insulted many times by other rappers in dis records saying he was a stripper, and he's yet to deny it. That's proof enough for me.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.97.7.153 (talk • contribs)
Uh, no he hasn't denied it... If I were to call you gay, in front of a stadium full of people, you would deny it, because its not true; but if it were true you would just say something to the effect of "shut up" if anything at all. Point to me, I win.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.97.7.153 (talk • contribs)
Theres a mixtape released by G-Unit titled "G-Unit Radio Pt. 21, Hate it Or Love it." Its cover is a picture of The Game in a strip club in a thong. Heres link to prove it. http://www.mixtapehype.com/product.asp?id=2609 --Lil' Infamous 19:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
A "Pop Song" by an enemy rapper is not factual proof, neither is one single obviously distorted and doctored/photo shopped image. If he was a stripper I'm pretty sure there would have been a bunch of women who would have pictures and have recognized, yet 50, who didn't even know The Game when he was living in Compton is the only person with a digitally distorted image. Be for real and stop trying to slander. More importantly u should be more worried about why 50 Cent happened to own a provocative image of a male stripper, doesn't that strike u as strange.PhoenixPrince 08:34, 22 November 2006 (UTC) (sorry i forgot to sign it at first i stopped what i was doing to take care of something in the real world)PhoenixPrince 08:34, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
On a interview with SOHH.com Game said "I've been called loads of things, a stripper (Sohh; We're you a stripper) Hey man, If I see a girl I like who knows, I might do a little dance for her." This can be heard at SOHH.com and HipHopGame.com. Also, on the Show "Change of Heart" it is revealed that Game's mom did own a male strip club and Game went there, and also said he Stripped for his date.And people please, though Game was a stripper, that picture is fake. And G-unit had nothing to do with making that picture, it was first on the internet and 3 months later appeared on a G-unit mixtape.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.178.205 (talk • contribs)
Note should i put in the response to g-unot movement since is about game and the gameover t-shirts selling over 100,000 or no. Because many people have sources about the G-unot responses.
he's not on Aftermath anymore. He's Geffen/Interscope.

'The Game is considered by many to be a driving force in bringing back the West Coast hip hop scene and competing with many of his East Coast counterparts.' - KG
No what weasel wording means is the situation involving the feud with 50 Cent to whereas the editors will claim the rapper was a stripper when there is no proven truth to the scandal. The feud with 50 Cent and G-Unit is mainly the reason for the weasel words/vandalism. The rapper is popular and this page is always filled with some form of misleading statement to uncompromise the neutrality of article. Saying that all the artists that are listed on The Black Wall Street Records is signed to Interscope is another way of describing weasel words. The rapper is a..... is another. I don't know too much about weasel wording but it's mostly based on wording. If I said that many people said that The Game is the main contributor to G-Unit's success, that will be considered weasel words. Good luck and good editing. LILVOKA 01:32, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
The West coast hip hop scene has always existed with or without him. Just because a west coast artist is personally popular doesnt mean other west coasts artists are.
What is the song called thatn goes "girl i'll do anything to make you feel special.. man its easy to see that your special to me... whether we lovers or friends we'll always be... i want you to know your special!!!"

If it were a rumor you would think Game would deny it, but he hasn't. Plus, his mother owned a strip club, increasing the likelihood of Doja being a stripper.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.97.7.153 (talk • contribs)
So then you're tellin me, that if your mother own a strip club, and you were livin broke (which I'm sure you know nothing about) and needed a job, and you're 6'4" and in shape (no homo) that the likelihood of you getting a job at that strip club does not increase? Please, you MUST be trippin...
If your mother owned a strip club, chances are u woulnd't be broke...that makes no sense!!! 69.209.203.96 22:23, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
"Within the rap community, many of The Game's fans felt that the diss song entitled "300 Bars and Runnin'" was the pivotal rebuttal that destroyed the credibility of 50 Cent and G-Unit."
This is COMPLETE OPINION, this needs to be changed. This isn't a fansite
Thats bullshit, its complete opinion presented as fact. Who decided that he "destroyed credibility" who are you to judge what the "rap community" believes. So its okay to say the "rap commnuity" believes Game's change of heart footage destroyed his credibility? Since when do Encyclopedia's state biased garbage that by your own words aren't proven. Not only that but it does use WEASEL WORDS.
"Wiki editors will often try to pass on POV opinions by writing under a pseudonym (e.g., "some fans think Allan Holdsworth is the greatest guitarist ever"). Unless you can provide a survey, a review or any similar type of source for your praise, it does not belong in a Wikipedia article."

It needs to be changed—Preceding unsigned comment added by Only1superman (talk • contribs)
Read a little closer. It says "within the rap community many of The Game's fans felt..." . It is speaking more on The Game's fans then the rap community (I'd even be in favor of taking out "within the rap community). Obviously someone who is a Game fan will probably feel that the song destroyed G-Unit's credibility. It doesn't say anywhere that he actually did. If you need a survey go to The Black Wall Street's offical form and ask the if it did or not (since it seems like the ideal place to find fans of The Game). But if you still feel it does show some sort of bias or POV, then maybe a part could be added about how some people felt the opposite way, therefore having both sides of the coin.
P.S. And since your so up on Wikipedia policy, why don't you take a look at Wikipedia:Civility before deciding to swear while discussing a topic. --Ted87 21:05, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
It's still weasel wording, especially with the "within the rap community". But yea I think there should be something expressing the opposing view, because as is, it looks biased.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Only1superman (talk • contribs)
I just removed the "within the hip hop community" and just left "many of The Game's fans" which is true. --Ted87 23:18, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Jesus Christ. This is seriously a poor entry...this article would be just fine without it, and 50's rep was killed WAY before 300 bars...the "rap community" knows this, because unlike most of these Wiki kids they actually listen to rap that isn't mainstream...Go to allhiphop.com forums and ask them if Game killed 50's cred. HAHHAHA--Donnie from the mean streets of Boston, KY 17:06, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
The feeling within the rap community (non-0gunit rap community) that 300 bars has destroyed G-units credibility. Anyway, whatever the story is, the battle doesn't look like it's over. There's word that 50 and the g-unit camp are planning some big things (making a group to directly diss game) and maybe even eminem has been pressured to join 50 against game...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.217.74.204 (talk • contribs)
Does anyone else think that the "Life after G-Unit" section should be moved up to right after his bio section, or even merged with it. The order is a little meesed up as it currently is the article begins with his bio, how he came up in the rap game, is albums, etc. then it goes to his beefs with people, then it goes right back to talking about his music, where he currently lives, switching labels, etc. --Ted87 18:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Even though the Game has a tear tattoo that doesnt mean he has served jail time. He has admitted himself in a certain song he has never been to the "penn". I have also heard that tear tattoos are not a meaning of jail time.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.79.153.45 (talk • contribs)
i dont care i still love the came and 50—Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.49.243.231 (talk • contribs)
Game said in an interview... I can't remember which magazine, I think RollingStone? There was a large article on him and he said, roughly, that it can mean one of two things - either you've done jail time or have killed some one and he's never been in jail... insinuating he's killed somebody. I've never heard of any one getting a tear because they was goin through "major struggles in the hood." But, Game gets tattoos on a whim, ie his butterfly tattoo, which is now covered up by an LA tat... much like the sun tattoo on his chest which is now covered up by his NWA tat... I wonder what else he's got to hide...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.97.7.153 (talk • contribs)
Tear Drop tattoos also (and most often) mean that a friend or a loved one has been murdered.
There should be a section about his tattoos since he's got so many and they apparently seem to mean so much to him...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.97.7.153 (talk • contribs)

""The Game chose to distance himself from addressing Jay-Z and Dr. Dre as well as others on this single. 50 Cent responded through his "Piggy Bank" music video, which features The Game as a Mr. Potato Head doll and parodies many other rivals."
Actually he did address Jay. I think it was something like "...dissed, before you make Hova pissed. Why would I do that? When I was just a new cat?" also something bout handing him the crown or something. I would edit but its locked...--Donnie from the mean streets of Boston, KY 17:03, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

can we not use this word, which a) is overused anyway, and b) does not apply because no one gives a ish about the Game-50 feud outside of hip hop, and relative to the East-West and Jay-Nas feuds it's minor, especially when 50 beefs with anyone for attention and Game doesn't seem to know how the industry works (he's really in over his head, thinking he's the ish when all he does is idol-worship other MCs.) "rivalries" or "conflicts" would be a better title.
also we should include the fact that the Dre/Elizondo production on The Documentary follows the exact same template as Get Rich, i.e. it does not have the West Coast flavor of 2001 or The Chronic. the only song that does on the album is "Where I'm From," which is not prod. by Dre. also the fact that Game's lyricism consists of a) incessantly shouting out other rappers/producers, and b) punchlines. i.e., it is not based in West Coast gangsta rap either.
so long as we source it and take out POV language, this would serve as an effective counterpoint/balance to the idea that Game's production/lyricism is really West Coast-oriented (Timbaland? Just Blaze?) not even sayin' it's bad -- some hype-ass beats. but Game seems to have an inflated perception of himself as the West Coast savior. 134.69.166.26 19:55, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

With no reply from 50 to The Games peace treaty, The Game released Pistol Grip Pump featuring BWS artist The Juice taking shots at 50 and the Mase deal.

Would anyone mind if the controversy section was shorted and/or parts of it removed? Some of them just aren't relevent to The Game such as the North Carolina incident, The Source fued, and the Snoop Dogg incident (which isn't even mentioned in Snoop Dogg's article). This article is becoming too focused on The Game's beef and not on him and his music. --Ted87 23:36, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

I concur... If you can find such sources that state that, maybe a "According to sources A and B, Game's new album is..." is cool. Kajito

Thought it might be worth mentioning under "Controversy", the Lil Jon insult that was in his last single Its Okay...
"Turn on the TV and all you see is the A
You niggaz better make up a dance and try and get radio play
Keep on snapping your fingers, I ain't going away
I don't regret what I spit cause I know what I say
And niggaz talking bout me, they don't know when to stop
I got the Louis Vuiton beltbuckle holding the glock
No bean, no silencer, I know when to pop
Wait til Lil' Jon come on and let off a shot
I had the number 1 billboard spot
Niggaz stepped on my fingers and I climbed right back to the top"
Not worth it, worth it? discuss—Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.163.246 (talk • contribs)
I think Game was referring to Southern music and general, especially the genre of rap known as Snap Music. It definately sounds like a diss (not directly at lil jon), because in the edited version, he says something like:
"Turn on the TV and all you see is the A
You better do what they do if you want radio play"
He wouldn't have changed the lyrics if they were acceptable for mainstream play. I think Lil Jon is also a good friend of Games because a source (can't remember which) did mention that Jon was at Game's engagement party.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Doja (talk • contribs)

It could be in relation to The Game's supposed "diss against Lil Jon" (as mentioned higher on this page) since Lil Scrappy is also apart of Lil Jon's label. At the same time it doesn't fully make any sence becasue Katt Williams is also in the video and The Game and The Diplomats are close in the underground. I don't know.
