Compton-rapparen The Game färdigställer just nu sitt nionde (och sista?) studioalbum med förmodade titeln “Westside Story”. Första singeln “Oh I” släpptes i höstas där Jeremih, Young Thug och Sevyn gästar. The Game har även givit indikationer att Kendrick Lamar och Dr. Dre kommer bidra till albumet.

Nu har The Game även bekräftat ytterligare en gästartist till albumet i form av Nipsey Hussle. När Crenshaw-rapparen i februari släppte sitt efterlängtade album “Victory Lap” var The Game snabb med att gratulera -något som nu tycks utmynna i ett samarbete:

“Never thought the young ni**a that gave me his demo on Crenshaw at a red light would ever turn out to be one of my favorite West Coast MC’s…”

Under natten postade The Game bilder på sig själv och Nip i studion (se “boomerang”-bild nedan). The Game delade även ett längre inlägg om XXXTentacions bortgång tidigare i veckan, där han hyllade Florida-rapparens positiva attribut. Samtidigt påpekar The Game att X hade uppenbara brister i sin karaktär, men att han bearbetade och sökte att finna nya vägar i livet. Håller du med The Game i resonemanget?

Murdered at 20 years old. So young. His untimely death truly saddens me & I’ve never met him. Though listening to his music told me a lot about him. At times he seemed very depressed & confused about life as we all are (were) at a young age… other times he was very happy & an open book for his fans. That to me has always been the way of a true hip hop artist. He was a lot more talented than most knew from the music he leaves behind & there’s no doubt in my mind that he would’ve grown both musically & mentally from the few changes I’ve watch him make just over social media… He was very talented & could literally go in any direction on a beat & hold his own. More than not he talked about his death.. “If I die” “when I die” a lot but we’re all guilty of that as artists in some way shape or form & we as people are not anyone’s judge. We’re all down here under God living & learning everyday & none of us is or will ever be perfect. Our IMPERFECTIONS are what makes us beautiful. He made mistakes & was man enough at his young age to acknowledge, accept blame & try to change & offer his fans alternate solutions knowing that they too could be in need of guidance. That is what I respect. I pray for this new generation full of talented artist & kids alike. No matter the age difference or gap, we must understand that we are all on earth TOGETHER trying to enjoy life at whatever capacity that brings us joy. Yet & still, we are only HUMAN….. & this situation alone is saddening. A young man, both very wise & sometimes normally confused is taken away from his family, friends & fans before his life can run its full course. It’s like fuck…. As soon as you think life is okay, tragedy again plagues an already dark world. Take it day by day young world. The MASS AGENDA wants as many of us to die as young as possible so they can make money off your funeral & burial before it costs them to implement additional learning tools to ensure your education & survival. I love all of you & I UNDERSTAND you’re just trying to figure yourself out. WE ALL ARE #RestInParadise #XXX
