In the old days, rappers loved poses with tons of voluptuous, hot babes on their lap. It was the cool thing to do. Now in this day and age, rappers like Snoop and The Game only feel cool when there are bags of weed sitting on their lap.
In his latest attempt to show off on Twitter, The Game, a.k.a. Charles Louboutin, posted a photo of himself with not one but five bags of weed. “Fresh kut. Fresh kush. #NowLeavingCompton,” he writes.
The Game is quite a hoot to follow on Twitter. Like Kanye, he posts many intellectual gems like “Breaking Hood News: Asparagus cures aids!!!!” and “Cold sores are excuses for yo mama & daddy havin’ herpes.”
How long will this controversial photo be uploaded on Twitter until the authorities get their hand on it?
James Franco is in talks to star in “The Game,” a MGM adaptation based upon Neil Strauss’ New York Times bestseller about picking up women.
According to THR, the actor-author-writer-director-unsatisfied Oscar host-student-man about town-seeker-performance artist-soap star is in the early stages of negotiations of Strauss’ “part memoir, part how-to guide” of how to get laid. He would be taking on the role of Mystery, whom you might remember from having his own VH1 reality show apply named The Pick Up Artist. That’s the show in which he taught clueless schlubs how to cast their lines out and reel in the ladies.
For those of you tilting your heads at the photo comparison above – that’s Mystery and it’s called peacocking. For a full collection of PUA, go here.
As we reported, he’s also in talks to play Hugh Hefnor and is set to play himself in The Apocalypse, the directorial debut of Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg which shoots this spring.
The Game showed his romantic side by proposing to his longtime girlfriend Tiffany Cambridge. It all happened yesterday afternoon.
Tiffany is an elementary school teacher, and The Game arranged for her Principal to call her to an after school meeting. Once Tiffany walked into the room, The Game was waiting with their two children. Game got down on one knee and said, “I just wanted to ask you: Would you marry me?”
So why did The Game propose?
“As a man, this is that day where you throw your player card away and you kinda gotta step up and be a family man, and she deserves it,” Game told MTV News immediately following the proposal. “It’s been a long run, and we’ve been together at least seven years. We’ve been off, we’ve been on, we’ve been arguing, we fought. We had good times and bad times, and I think that at the end of the day, as a man, this is something that I owed to her and I owed to my family, so it was time.”
The Game just keeps making matters worse. As we reported earlier, The Game recently made some homophobic comments. Now he is saying 50 Cent is gay.
The Game tweeted the following to TMZ in response to their article about his homophobic comments. The Game said,
“@TMZ but look around, shit I be surprised when I see someone who’s not GAY. My girl hair stylist is GAY & he kool. @50cent GAY n we was kool ”
We don’t think 50 is going to like this one bit, consider he also has made some homophobic comments. It will be interesting to see how 50 responds.
He explains that he has no problem with homosexuals, except those who pretend to be straight and sleep with women.
Game says, “The #1 issue with that is you could be fooling somebody and you could give them AIDS and they can die … and that s**t spreads because that girl you might be fooling might leave you and go find another dude who ain’t gay and give him the disease.”
So basically he is saying all gay men have aids. This guy is just digging a very deep hole for himself.
The Game keeps having problems these days. The rapper was kicked out of a steakhouse called Hillstone’s in Santa Monica for apparently violating the dress code.
According to TMZ, The Game was dressed in a white tank top without sleeves, which is a violation of the dress code. Consequently the manager refused to seat The Game and his crew. However, The Game points out there were two white men in the restaurant also wearing shirts without sleeves. He believes the manager’s decision was racially motivated.
The Game tweeted “Houston’s just went from my favorite resturant to the “RACIST-URANT” !!!!”
The rapper added, “Hillstone’s racist-urant formerly known as Houston’s & their slave-master manager Valerie has just made #1 on the RACIST resturant list !”
A representative for the restaurant says it was two women and not men who were wearing sleeveless shirts.
The Game is off the hook for the Twitter prank. The Game was accused of purposely tweeting the number of the Sheriff’s Department for an internship.
Captain Mike Parker just released a statement, claiming, “The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will not be seeking criminal charges.”
“Based upon our investigation, as well as consultation with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, the LASD considers the criminal investigation into this matter closed.”
The Game claims it was an accident. What do you think?
The Game claims this was an accident, but it just sounds like he was being a douche. The Game may face criminal charges after he tweeted a possible internship, and gave the local Sheriff Department’s phone number as the contact.
This understandably caused the Sheriff’s phone lines to become clogged, compromising public safety. Most people hung up once they realized it was the police, while others tried to inquire about the opportunity, reports TMZ.
The police finally found out about The Game’s tweet, and Sheriff’s Capt. Mike Parker tweeted at him. The Game also responded.
The cops are now trying to charge the rapper, and rightfully so. This wasn’t an accident - The Game was just trying to be a prick.
This is ridiculous! The Game ordered some seriously expensive jewelry in 2007-2008 which included:
- a 14K white gold 36″ chain with white stones for $15,000
- a 14K yellow gold 36″ chain with yellow stones for $15,000
- a diamond stud for $4,000
- a 14K white gold 5-row bracelet for $17,500
- a 14K yellow gold 5-row bracelet for $17,500
- two other gold “pieces” for $30,000
The Game unfortunately never paid for the jewelry he commissioned. Consequently a L.A. Judge ordered The Game to pay Lemmerman’s Inc. $90,999, reports TMZ. Although the final price for all the jewelry was $99,000, The Game did already pay some of the balance.
Here’s the bigger question – how is The Game going to afford to pay up? Does this guy even have money anymore?
Seriously, this could happen to anybody. You are at your cousin’s funeral, and you end up getting into a brawl with your other cousin. It happens all the time, right?
Well it happened to The Game back in 2008. The Game was at the funeral for his cousin when he and four others ended up brawling with the deceased’s brother, Robert Kirkwood. Later in the year, Kirkwood filed suit against The Game for injuries sustained in the fight.
According to TMZ, an L.A. judge was sympathetic to Kirkwood and is ordering Game – real name Jayceon Taylor- to pay $50,580 in damages.
The Game probably never had a chance winning this case. Seriously, brawling at a funeral!! Come on dude.
Rapper THE GAME is to stand trial for threatening a man with a gun during a
basketball game earlier this year (07).
The Dreams star – real name Jayceon Taylor – appeared at Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday (04Sep07) for a preliminary hearing in relation to the felony charges dating back to the February incident, in which he allegedly hit a basketball player on the opposing team before threatening to shoot him.
The hip-hop star is also facing charges of possession of a firearm in a
school zone and exhibiting the gun in the presence of a police officer, and
could be sentenced to five years behind bars if he is convicted on all counts.
He has pleaded not guilty.
Taylor is due back in court on 25 September (07) – just five days after he is
due to appear in court to face separate charges of impersonating a police
officer last November (06). (MT/WNWCAG/JC)

Rapper THE GAME was forced to cancel a gig in New Zealand because of a mystery illness, according to reports.
The Dreams star was due to perform as part of the Roc Tha Block Tour
alongside Akon, Naughty By Nature and Sisqo at Auckland’s Vector Arena on Saturday (01Sep07), but pulled out of the gig without explanation.
Sources at the venue insist concert-goers were informed of The Game’s
impending no-show prior to the event, after he missed tour dates in the
Australian cities of Adelaide and Sydney earlier that week (30&31Aug07)
suffering from an ‘mystery illness’.
A source tells AllHipHop.com, “Venue officials notified concert-goers that
the rapper was feeling unwell and would not be performing.
“Audiences were offered full ticket refunds at the door. I would assume that the reason for The Game’s absence at the Auckland stopover was because he had not recovered from whatever illness he was suffering from on the previous two dates.” (JC/WNWCAH/ES)

Hip-hop stars THE GAME and TIMBALAND are being sued by an Indian music and film company, who allege the pair sampled one of their songs without permission.
Saregama India Ltd has filed a copyright infringement suit against Interscope, Universal Music Group, Aftermath Entertainment, G-Unit Records, Czar Entertainment, Timbaland’s Virginia Beach Music and The Game’s Black Wall Street in Manhattan Federal Court, New York, according to AllHipHop.com.
The company claims one of its songs was used in The Game’s track Put You On The Game – which was produced by Timbaland – from his 2005 album The Documentary.
Saregama India own almost 50 per cent of all the music recorded in the Asian country and in 2002 filed a lawsuit against Dr. Dre for illegally sampling Indian artist Lata Mangeshkar’s voice on Truth Hurts’ hit song Addictive.

Rapper THE GAME has hinted his third album might be his last, insisting he has achieved all of his musical goals.
The Dreams star – real name Jayceon Taylor – rose to fame in 2005 following the success of his debut album, The Documentary, and has received two Grammy nominations.
His second album, Doctor’s Advocate, also shot straight to number one on both the United World Chart and the Billboard 200.
Despite his huge success however, the hip-hop star suggests it could soon be time to quit.
He tells AllHipHop.com, “I think three classic albums are good for me, you know?
“I got my point across. I was a prominent figure on the West Coast and a bigger figure in hip-hop as a whole. I think I made my impact enough for my name to be said and remembered.
“Right now I’m taking a break from Hip-Hop and enjoying time with my family and my friends.”

Rapper THE GAME yesterday pleaded not guilty to charges of impersonating a police officer.
The DREAMS star – born JAYCEON TAYLOR – was arrested on November 15 after allegedly telling a taxi driver he was an undercover cop and persuading him to run a series of red lights in downtown New York, following an appearance on DAVID LETTERMAN’s US chat show.
Authorities claim the car was then pulled over after being spotted driving erratically.
The Game later denied all accusations, accusing the New York Police Department of setting him up.
His lawyer, JEFFREY LICHTMAN, says, “The police are harassing him. They don’t even have a witness – no supporting deposition.
“It will be a slam-dunk acquittal or dismissal, it’s up to the D.A. (District Attorney). They offered us time served today and I didn’t even lift my head to respond. It’s an embarrassment for them.
“The cops follow him from the moment he lands to the moment he leaves. A limo driver freaked out, that’s it. They are harassing him, but there will be some harassment going the other way at the trial.”

Rapper THE GAME has postponed his forthcoming Canadian tour after a warrant was issued for his arrest in New York City on Tuesday.
The hip-hop star was due to perform in London, Ontario last night, but he failed to appear in court in New York this week for a hearing relating to his arrest last November for impersonating a police officer – so a warrant was issued.
A spokesperson for the star claims he will hand himself in to officials and reschedule the tour dates.

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.
The Game was arrested in California over the weekend for possession of a deadly weapon.
MTV reports that the Compton rapper, born Jayceon Taylor, had his car searched after being pulled over for a traffic violation on Saturday. Police found a pair of brass knuckles in Taylor’s car.
He was released on $20,000 US bail and is expected to appear in court in about a month.
An arrest warrant was issued for The Game last month after he missed a court date in Greensboro, North Carolina. He was faces October 2005 charges related to disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
The Game may have taken his Halloween spirit a little too far at a mall in North Carolina this Friday. The rapper was arrested at the Four Seasons Town Centre in Greensboro, N.C., accused of causing a scene and refusing to remove a Halloween mask.
“I got arrested for signing autographs,” the Game told WFMY-TV after he was released on $500 bail. “Signing a little girl’s autograph got me arrested.”
But police said The Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, and a group of companions were behaving disruptively. Mall security officers said the rapper was wearing a full-face Halloween mask and cursing loudly, and refused to leave when asked. When police arrived, his companions surrounded officers in a threatening manner, police said, and had to be sprayed with pepper spray. Taylor was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
The Game feels wronged and expressed feelings of injustice on WFMY. “They thought I was Rodney King, man. It was a case of mistaken identity,” he said. “It’s unfair, man. Their behavior’s unfair.”
