Game Frustrated WIth Rap

West Coast rapper The Game recently caught up with Music Choice and talked about why he is a misfit in today´s Hip-Hop game. Furthermore the Compton MC explains his frustrations with other rappers who refused to jump on his Sean Bell tribute song “Cop Killer.”

Game said that it was hard to get other well known rappers for a feature on his Sean Bell song.

 

“I reached out to a lot of artists and I told ’em what I was gonna do for Sean Bell and a lot of them just…I got a gang of excuses,” he explained. “Nobody wanna stand up and be a man. We don’t have a problem putting out a mixtape dissing each other but the people that you say or claim to hate so much, which is, or the situation that render us helpless like police brutality, excessive force, people using the shield to really deal the wrong way with human beings, you know, like nobody wanna stand-up for that except me.”

 

 

Suddenly Game got emotional as he continues to talk about the current state of the Hip-Hop game.

 

“Sh*t is f*cked up, man it’s just, people just don’t understand man,” he said. “And that’s why I don’t wanna be a part of hip-hop anymore. It just ain’t right, man. And hip-hop just didn’t used to be like this, you know. Like, it’s not why I do it. It’s not why I’m here.”

Game made it clear that he doesn´t belong in the new era of Hip-Hop.

“I don’t belong in this hip-hop,” he stated. “I belong in like, the old hip-hop. People that really didn’t care about being vocal you know. N.W.A. [and] Public Enemy, people that really stood. Queen Latifah, MC Lyte."

Game’s anticipated album “L.A.X. is scheduled to hit stores August 26th.
