The Game Says He's 'Rededicated To Hip-Hop' On The R.E.D. Album'
'This album ... it's gonna be different,' the MC says.

The Game's new LP, The R.E.D. Album, was not inspired by him being a Blood. It's not a clever play on words or some type of tip of the fitted cap to Jay-Z's Black Album. Nah, the Compton native's CD is all about him restarting his engine.

"The R.E.D. Album, people think the R.E.D. stands for gangbanging. I am what I am. ... R.E.D. — that's rededicated. Rededicated to hip-hop ... to my 'hood, Compton. Rededicated to my family, rededicated to everything."

And yes, that rededication means the end of Game's retirement talk. He says the album will be out in '09, and he's already been in the studio with Timbaland, J.R. Rotem, Drumma Boy and former Aftermath producer Mike Lynn. Cool and Dre are scheduled to come in on the album, and Game also hopes to track Kanye West down for beats.

"The R.E.D. Album is about to be serious, man," he promised. "It's a step up. The R.E.D. Album, it's a little soulful, I gotta say. Still gangsta — we getting it in. I'm keeping everything on wraps right now.

"This album ... it's gonna be different," he added. "I was wondering to myself how I'm gonna elevate myself and even change the field. Three albums ... what do you talk about after three albums? I ain't selling crack and gangbanging and shooting sh-- up. My beefs have been down-low. So what do you really talk about? I just wanna rap, man. I just wanna do music. Whatever it turns out to be, it turns out to be. Long as every song has that collective feel — they gel — then we good. I'm just gonna rap this time."

IronCro · 05-14-2009, 09:18 PM

Cannot wait for this!

W3STCOASTRYDA · 05-14-2009, 09:25 PM

i'm a game fan. his flow and delivery are always top notch (lyrics are hit or miss but he has been getting better with time)

i think the problem with LAX was that it didnt feel like an album with a "theme" or consistent feel to it. it felt like he recorded 150 songs, picked 16 tracks he liked, added a DMX into and outro, and that was the album.

cant wait for the R.E.D album

Skinny11 · 05-14-2009, 10:38 PM

Majcip · 05-15-2009, 05:12 AM

Can´t wait Bang Along is the shit.

alanmeekin · 05-15-2009, 05:50 AM

hopefully wayne isnt on the album, i cant listen to him at all.
i think game raps best over a good dre type beat (how we do/start from scratch).
he has one of the best flows and his lyrics are usually on point just needs better beats/features than he had on LAX (i know there was some talented artists but i dont like neyo/wayne etc)

as for bang along, i dont understand the hype - game has had a lot of songs better than that in my opinion lyrics are great but beat is boring.

BrooklynZ Finest · 05-15-2009, 08:55 AM

should be dope as fuck...

Precinct Phantom · 05-15-2009, 02:36 PM

AUTUMN_DEATH · 05-15-2009, 04:35 PM

man i cant help but be a massive fan of games music. he acts like a complete tool sometimes but his music is so good

black ice 07 · 05-15-2009, 11:29 PM

I gave up after LAX but I'm starting to get excited Soulful means samples and samples mean concepts which take thought. I was wondering when people were going to take the Kanye/Just Blaze/Jay Blueprint formula they were on to something with that but Hov moved away from it. I think he finally going to try to get both critical and commerical success. Wonder if Timbo going to produce the single?

T.Giddy · 05-16-2009, 01:42 AM

if its anything like that track Bang Along than its gonna be great
