I’m guessing next week or that week we’ll get something then. Game needs another single cause his hype is gone.

I got no idea why yall are so concerned with how well this album performs lmao.
I know the G-Unit stans bring it up to shyt on dude and troll, but you should know that Game is an independent artist in his 40s. He's beyond irrelevant today.
Kanye is the only one from that class of rappers still putting up big numbers and thats with all his antics. Jeezy, Ross, TI, etc all did between 20-30k with their last album and thats with label support. No one cares about these old ass rappers today. Its interesting how no one is overanalyzing their rollouts, especially how Banks just dropped an album with zero buzz lol.

I’m not I think he’s just taking long with dropping. The longer he waits the more people won’t really care.

Worrying about whether casual listeners tap in or not is pointless, cause chances are they wont care either way. Game could have a Michael Jackson feature and it wont matter. Hes old and irrelevant today. A good rollout for Game is the difference between 20k and 40k first week lol.
This was my main beef with that "Fell In Love" record Banks made on COTI2. Who is he making that for? No one is listening to Banks outside.

I’m just saying he keeps pushing this thing back, it’s like the 3rd time already.

He's delayed the album way more than that. I remember Wack saying it was supposed to come out back in like April lol.
Like I said before, this has always been the case with Game and his albums tho. Last minute delays that end up delaying the album by a couple months.
Yall gotta listen to more music. Theres a whole CMG compilation that just dropped.

Yea I’m not sure even worrying I listen to a bunch of stuff, when it drops it drops.

So the guy who’s been saying he’s better than Em, who others say he had a diss song against won’t chance dropping same day as an Em greatest hits album?
I don’t blame him that would be an embarrassing L to take.

Full interview with HipHopDX is out. Really good interview (they fukked up the audio). The interviewer is annoying tho.
- His mom is a big reason why he feels compelled to support LA / Compton artists, says its his "life mission", and the first album he owned was a DJ Quik album his mom bought him cause Quik was from Compton
- Mr. Morale & Big Steppers is incredible (first lie in the interview). Says Kendrick is incredible with how he puts emotion into his art.
- Stole Tyler the Creator's skateboard early on as a prank and Tyler chased after him as he drove off. Said he did it because Tyler was an a$$hole going around pranking people at the time.
- Game tells a story how he met Jayson Cash early on but brushed him off and refused to take a picture like an a$$hole, and today Jayson Cash is a buzzing upcoming rapper
- Met Wayne and Baby before he met Dr. Dre and being signed to Aftermath
- The hook on My Life was never intended to be a hook, it was actually an outro Wayne was fukking around with
- Claims there's a lot of smoke and mirrors at Aftermath, lots of politics and skeletons in the closet when asked about the Em bars on the original version of My Life
- Hes always gonna have love for Dre
- Says Sha Money XL is lying about how Interscope never gave him 1M to stop saying G-Unot, and Jimmy Henchman cant attest to that
- 50 was genuinely happy to squash the beef at the peace treaty by Jimmy Iovine, but admits he still wasnt fukking with 50 and the whole situation and dissed him right after
- Doesn't feel like Drake was shooting at Kendrick on 100, and wouldn't have put out the song if it was direct shots, and Kendrick is lyrically equipped to handle anything
- Cant pick a side in a battle between Drake and Kendrick, but he would beat them both (lol)
- Relates to Ye cause hes someone else whos had shyt taken from his life but still stands straight up and talks his shyt
- Tells the story about how they made Crack Music and why he doesnt have a verse (even tho you can clearly hear a verse in the Jeen-Yuhs documentary) and Kanye had a different concept for Dreams
- Doing an album with Hit-Boy was Hit-Boy's idea.
- Drillmatic comes from his inspiration from Nas, and how he tries to rap like Nas, similarities in their stories.
- "Why You Hate The Game" with Nas is one of Game's favorite songs in his catalog
- Nas had a session with Hit around the time Game and Hit had that week long session in January, and Nas cosigned the Drillmatic name.
- There is drill music on Drillmatic, "its gonna blow your mind, you have never heard me rap like this"
- He told Durk to go with the name Drillmatic for his next project, Durk liked it but never used it, so Game went with it. (Says he expects people to say in the comments he never spoke to Durk lol)
- Thinks 18 songs is the perfect album length, but other producers came in and the album kept getting better and better.
- Timbaland did a song on the album
- Heart vs Mind is to raise awareness for bipolarism disorder
- His mom is a big reason why he feels compelled to support LA / Compton artists, says its his "life mission", and the first album he owned was a DJ Quik album his mom bought him cause Quik was from Compton
