The Game News

Rapper The Game is convinced being famous automatically entitles him to VIP treatment - and he expects to be tattooed for free. The hitmaker admits his inner-diva gets the better of him whenever he fancies getting a new design inked onto his skin.

He says, "My tattoos are always free, man. I can pretty much walk in anywhere I fancy and they'll do one for free. If they're not, I'm walking out."

And The Game - real name Jayceon Taylor - has such a vast collection of tattoos, he's lost track of how many he's had done. He adds, "I don't know how many I've got. Shit, I stopped counting after, like, the first two. I don't plan them. I just wake up with the idea and I go in that day."

Nas, the king from Queens, New York, couldn't say enough about his fellow borough natives, the Kings of Rock. "Run-DMC had all the influence on me. I'd never seen rappers on MTV before I seen Run-DMC," he said. "I never seen guys from the block doing it the way they did. It meant a whole lot for me to see brothers from Queens coming out and taking over. Run-DMC to me is, like, the biggest: They were way ahead of their time. DMC was my favorite lyricist. I used to practice writing rhymes like him, saying rhymes like him, wishing one day I'd have all that stuff he had: everything from the Cadillac, to the Adidas he wore, to his style."

On the other hand, Ice Cube (formerly of #2 group N.W.A) said it would be tough for him to narrow a list of the greatest hip-hop groups down to 10, but he knows a few names would be in there. "Oh man, you gotta say Public Enemy, you gotta say Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, Run-DMC, I put Wu-Tang up there too — a dangerous group," he tallied. "I would have the Geto Boys up there. I would have Outkast up there. It's kinda too hard to name 'em all — there's a lot of dope groups, you know — and of course N.W.A.

In an effort to expand the target market of Compton’s native rapper The Game and his Black Wall Street crew, they decided to put a more deliberate focus on the European market by creating an official European community.

European Game and Black Wall Street supporters can now join The Game’s official European Black Wall Street community at http://www.bwseurope.com. The main purpose of this project is to bring European fans together and start an active online community to stimulate Game’s attendance in Europe.

Next to exclusives, the community will also provide direct interaction – with official Black Wall Street members and affiliates – and contests intended for talented people influenced by Hip Hop music.

Young Buck and The Game got into a near altercation in the early morning hours of Saturday (February 17) when Game attended the T.I./Jeezy hosted party in Las Vegas during NBA All-Star weekend.

G-Unit's Young Buck arrived at the event, called The Las Vegas Takeover, at around 3 a.m. with a large number of associates, while Game and his also large entourage arrived at 4 a.m. making their way to the VIP area upstairs of The Ice House Lounge nightclub.

According to witness statements given to BallerStatus.com, Young Buck began making gestures at The Game from across the room, with Game and his people gesturing back. This is when Buck took it a step further.

Buck then headed out of the VIP area to the stage, where he got a hold of the mic and began to spit a freestyle dissing The Game over his "Put You On The Game" track.
