The Game sure gets creative when he wants something.

The New York police department reports that the rapper convinced a cabbie to run a series of red lights by telling him he was an undercover police officer. Police arrested the Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, Thursday night, when the cab was pulled over after Taylor’s appearance on the “Late Show with David Letterman.” The cabbie had driven about 13 blocks, said police.

Taylor has been charged with impersonating a police officer.

Now, a member of the rapper’s camp says that the NYPD is specifically targeting hip-hoppers.

“This harassment of The Game and other hip-hop artists by the NYPD has got to stop — and a painful loss at trial may be just the solution,” attorney Jeffrey Lichtman told the New York Post.

Lichtman suggested that the cabbie lied to get out of trouble and that police had been after Taylor all night.

Taylor is expected to appear in court at a later date.
