This week, the Game is set to shoot a video for his next single "Wouldn't Get Far," in which he mentions (and criticizes) many video vixens. The rapper said the video will even feature some of the ladies he addresses in the song. "I think a couple of them are coming to the video, so we'll see what's up," he said last week.
"They had a choice," said Game's manager, Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemond, who helped smooth things over with the displeased women. "They had two choices: You could either be clowned or we can make this fun where people won't take it as serious. If you fight against it, it becomes serious, 'cause we could get the look-alikes and clown in fun. But if you participate, it can be more impactful. For instance, [model] Melyssa Ford, we'll have her in a Honda Accord [in the video], but then Game will kinda wake up out of that spell and we'll have her in a 500 Benz. We'll clean it up for her. It's all in fun, though."
Jimmy says the video will be fun, but he plans to have Game working hard this year to keep promoting his album, The Doctor's Advocate. "There's some work to do with this album," Rosemond said. "There's been a few missteps, some out of our control.
"We're about to shoot a mini-movie for him and re-release the album sometime in April or May," he continued. "We'll probably do a mini-movie for [the song] 'Doctor's Advocate.' It's time to work hard, really grind this album out, see where it takes us. We know we made the best album we could make without the elements that helped us the first time. Like I tell him all the time, it ain't really about the sales. I know the sales will do well, but it's going to be a record that sticks around all year. We already know people have classified this album as a classic. He has another album ready ... that people will wanna hear. But we just have to work this one out, make some smart decisions. That's where my managerial hat has to come into play."
Game says he has his own ideas as to where he wants to go visually with his album. "I was on my way back from my snowboarding trip in Northern Cali," he said. "I'm driving five hours and thinking about [the Roc-A-Fella Records film] 'Streets Is Watching' and how Jay-Z did that. ... I was saying, 'I got enough songs that mean something to do that.' I mean, 'Old English,' 'One Night,' the real gutter joints where there's a lot of feelings where I could really get at n---as. It'll be ill, though. We gonna keep it in mind and try to work it all out."
The Compton, California, MC is getting ready to go on tour in Canada and to put out some new mixtapes at the end of January. He'll showcase some beats he produced himself, introduce a new group from his Black Wall Street label while spotlighting solo MC Juice.
"This new group I'm working on called N---as for Life, they are nuts," Game said. "It's no knock-off of N.W.A. It's a new feel, a new vibe. I got five of the hottest n---as from the West Coast you never heard of, and we gonna roll." ...
