Talk:The Game (rapper)/Archive 2

message: 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

replies: text: The thing is not all of those are offical releases. These days anyone can make a compliation of an artist and pass it as a mixtape. The ones released by The Game himself or from one of his business partners is in the article The Game discography. --Ted87 00:03, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Male stripper 

message: he's not on Aftermath anymore. He's Geffen/Interscope. 
Official website: http://www.comptongame.com/ look at bottom right corner
:Yes, but under the "Artists" section on the official Geffen webiste, he is not listed as one of there artists. And also if he wasnt under Aftermath Records then he would change the title of his upcomming album. Because it is called the Doctors Advocate because of Dr. Dre, and he is the head of Aftermath. You need some extent on sources to prove that he is on Geffen. And also Aftermath Records is a branch of Interscope Records. --Darkneonflame 04:23, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I take back what i said above. According to SOHH.com it says that he did switch labels.  It also confirms that he is changing the album name to The Devil's Advocate. --Darkneonflame 06:18, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

message: '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
:I don't think it's weasal wording. In fact the sentence use to say "The Game is PROVING to be a driving force in bringing back the West Coast hip hop scene and competing with many of his East Coast counterparts." and a lot of people think so. BET plainly said he brought the West back BY HIMSELFIn an interview with High Times it says that people always discuss it. --Ted87 05:29, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The article isn't saying he is or he isn't, but a lot of people beilive he is. LILVOKA, I think you need to look up the term "weasel word" because you are only touching upon the meaning. --Ted87 21:39, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Just because his mom owned a strip club doesn't change any chance on him being a stripper or not. And The Game HAS denied it. --Ted87 03:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Like I've said before there is no proof. It's all speculation, which doesn't belong in a encyclopedia. I'm not saying he was or he wasn't a stripper, but there is no proof of this. --Ted87 20:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  hey DOJA 

message: "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 
:There is nothing wrong with giving opinion as long as it isn't presented as fact or doesn't contain weasel words. The fact of the matter is most of The Game fans (and many hip hop fans in general) do think he destroyed G-Unit's credibilty with this song. Of course there is no way of proving it, but the sentence is the way it is to show what some people though was the effect of 300 Bars and Runnin'. --Ted87 19:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And go to The Black Wall Street forum and ask if Game killed 50's cred and almost 100% of them will say yes. It all depends on who you ask. That's why "withen the hip hop community" was erased. Anyone who is a fan of hip hop can be considered withen the hip hop community. --Ted87 02:10, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: LIFE AFTER GUNIT OPINIONS

message: 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)
replies: text: While I don't think it is completly neccassary, id does make sence to move it together. Plus by naming it "Life after G-Unit" it can be implied that this article is in coronological order, which isn't entirely true. --Mad$ 04:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why move the section up? It doesn't seem necceassary. Most the stuff happened after his beef with those artists. 146.244.138.26 22:34, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well it's also the content. It talks about his beef which G-Unit, which belongs in it's respective controversy section (a lot of which is just repeat info). Then it says stuff like his plans on getting married, moving to Glendale, and leaving Aftermath, which all could/should go in the biography section. 71.137.6.210 23:30, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moving section up 

message: 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) 
:A tear tattoo can just been that you have gone through major struggles in the hood. It can also mean you've killed somebody. --Ted87 00:29, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

message: 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) 
:An entire section devoted to his tattoos doesn't seem encyclopedic (or neccessary). It is mentioned in the trivia section though. I think a link to this page is good enough. --Ted87 20:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  THE doctor's advocate 

message: ""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)
replies: text: Also 300 Bars is not a single. As far as the Jay-Z comment I think the writer was trying to say he chose to distance himself from addressing Jay-Z negativly. And he does mention Dre about 6 times, and Jay-Z atleast 3 times so it probably should be changed. --Ted87 02:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: 300 bars info incorrect

message: 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)
replies: text: I think "controversy" is a fine word, but if anyone else disagrees state your opinion. To address your second point, the article never implies any type of feel or sound other then saying he is a West Coast artist ie. a rapper from the West Coast. His constant shout out of rappers and producers is mentioned in "The Documentary" article. It is too early in his career to even describe a difinitive style of his, and most rappers' articles aviod this alltogether. --Ted87 01:58, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

message: 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. There is no official g unit reply yet but Lloyd Banks appeared on Rap City dissing The Game which has lead to The Game releasing Soundscan (a shot at g units record sales).—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.135.172 (talk • contribs)

replies: text: Not really. In fact the info about his tatoos wil probably get deleted, since a peer review on the article said that the trivia section should be deleted and/or merged with the rest of the article. --Ted87 20:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tattoo 

message: 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)

message: 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"

:Unless it amounts to anything (such as a beef between the 2) I don't see how it is relevent. I don't recall Lil Jon saying anything about the song, nor has there been much controversy over it.--Ted87 20:43, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

This is an interview that Vida had. A good amount of it talks about how The Game was trying to talk to her, etc and how she rejected him. She goes on to talk about how The Game tryed to get back at her by dissing her in hte song "Wouldn't Get That Far" from the Doctor's Advocate.
I doubt it but, is this good enough information to add to the article or does it not matter? I just want to run it buy you guys to make sure before someone adds it themselves. - Unregistered.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.12.150.178 (talk • contribs)
