interview THE GAME (August 2009) | Interview By: Lil Jay

Dubcnn caught up with The Game for an exclusive video interview. We sat down with "the kid with no home" at two different stops during his world tour for a 2-part feature.

He is already heavy into promoting his upcoming record "The R.E.D. Album" in new songs, recent interviews and video blogs, but for part 1 of the feature we take some time out to talk about his life on the road and travelling through Africa and Europe. We also cover a couple random topics and find out which song he relates to the most from his whole catalogue and why he never featured any of his Black Wall Street artists on his albums. Last but not least, Game expresses his opinion about fans getting involved in his beefs.

You can watch the video or read the transcript of this exclusive interview and we urge you to leave feedback on our forums or email them to liljay@dubcnn.com.

Stay tuned for part 2 of the interview coming soon!

Dubcnn: Dubcnn has linked back up with The Game! What's up Game?

The Game: You know what the fuck it is man, it's Game time, Starface, the kid with no home. That's what it is, West Side, California, West Side Bompton, Cedar Block Piru, still on probation and everything. Straight up, Dubcnn.com. Get loaded motherfucker, the number 1 Hip-Hop site in the world, Dubcnn. All the fakers and imitators eat a dick!


Dubcnn: So, if you're looking back at all your three albums and you had to pick out one specific song from your whole catalogue, which is the one that you can relate to the most?

The Game: "I Don't Need Your Love" off The Documentary, because it's been 7 years since I've started and today I'm still here. For all the motherfuckers that don't got love for Game, I don't need it. I still get by, I still make my money, I'm still rich. I'm still the father of two kids, they're happy, they're good. I'm financially stable, all my homies is good, they're shining. That's just what it is. I don't need shit, I don't want shit. Get it how I live. I reached all my goals on the first album. I never ever thought that I'd be anything other than a dead gangbanger. So here I am, half way across the world. I go to Switzerland to perform in front of 2000 people. It just feels good to be a hood nigga that made something. My whole career has been a memorable moment. Everything that I've done, everything that I will do, every place that I been, all the people that received me and appreciated me. It's all been a memorable moment, just my career as a whole.


Dubcnn: You always separate your Black Wall Street business from your solo projects, since there werent any BWS artists on any of your albums. Do you keep that balance on purpose or what's the thought behind that move?

The Game: When one of my Black Wall Street artists gets big enough, then I will feature them on my album. But until then they gotta grind the mixtapes like I did. You know, get in where you fit in. But I got some shit planned for them, it's gonna get real big. But I got Goon, a cat from Inglewood. He reminds me of myself as far as his hardcore flow. You know, Clyde Carson from the Bay is doing his thing. X.O. from Pasadena is doing his thing, Juice is still in Arizona holding it down. We got a young kid named Elijah. So we got some things on the way. It's just me and my brand, but I give people that I meet and have ambitions and dreams like I did opportunities to make a name for themselves. And if they can use my parent company to branch off and do their thing, then more power do them. I don't want nothing from them, I just want them to get money and have a good time man.


Dubcnn: You made some tour stops in Africa too. Talk about that experience, since most people will never get the chance to see that continent.

The Game: Africa is the real hood. Everybody think they from the hood, but you don't know how real life is and how fucked up people got it until you go to some of the 3rd world countries in Africa. Specifically speaking about Kinshasa in Kongo and stuff like that. The people are great and beautiful, you know, they look like me and they represent what I represent, which is the struggle. I appreciate them and I can't wait to go back man. Africa is a wonderful place. You know, I leave gaps in my music and then my fans fill it in. When you get the crowd participation when you're rapping and they're feeding the music back to you, and you look in the crowd and you can see everybody saying every word, that's how I appreciate my fans, and I know they appreciate me.


Dubcnn: You also have a pretty strong fanbase in Europe. What are some of your favorite places when you go overseas?

The Game: [I love Dublin, Ireland and Zurich, Switzerland]. I love Switzerland to death man. The shit's crazy, always when we're in Switzerland, I ask Tony 'How many days we're in Switzerland?' and he's like '1 Day', then I'm like 'Fuck!', cause we'll go to some other town where I don't wanna be for fuckin' 4 days! I got nothing but love for Switzerland and the people. I stay in different hotels, this time I was at the Marriott and my view is always over the river and the city, and in the daytime it's just beautiful man.


Dubcnn: Speaking of fans, what's your opinion when your fans take sides in your beefs?

The Game: I don't give a fuck about that man. Any beef that's gonna be a beef of the time that people gonna talk about, those are the beefs I get involved in. I don't got time for the petty shit, cause when I see those rappers, we just knock them the fuck out and then we make sure it's on camera so everybody can see how bitch made they is! I ain't gotta say no names. They try to challenge me, but I'm one of the only rappers in the world that's never been tested like that, I never had a chain snatched. So anybody that steps to anybody in the Black Wall Street finna lie straight on they motherfuckin ass, that's all they can have.
