with a jay z feature thats is.
any other way??????

If they drop the celebration video soon that could really help him.
AND if he follows that with another dope single plus an album with no push backs it could do well.
but uuuuh.....
-
No he can't. He has the BasedGod curse. Unless Lil B chooses to lift it it is hopeless for this guy

No chance Game's gonna drop an album within the next 12 months

lil b makes game look like rakim
-
Not a shot. Style & sound is completely played out. Same reason why 50 Cent won't ever be relevant again.
Not to mention even the sound & style he brings has just progressively gotten worse to the point where it's borderline unbearable to listen to more than two times.
-
he's not irrelevent in the 1st place but if i were him i'd get on BET or MTV1 for a special for the videos for "Mama Knows" and "California Dreamin" as a video and promo the reality show (and don't even have to release it). And if he wants to chill from rap then let him do him and chill from rap. i know what he's lacking but i ain't gon' say

he never was.
-
seems like the maistream-spotlight on Game diminshed or somethin, when fresh westcoast-rappers like Kendrik Lamar surfaced
-
he never was.
Yup, someone who had their first album sell 5 million copies worldwide was never relevant, SMH, you say some retarded shit sometimes.
-
I see The Game as someone who was a just a fad and marketing gimmick.
A random rapper Interscope picked up off the streets of California and have him be a sort of "throw back" to the 90's when gangsta rap from Cali was on it's peak. They had him en-body the old cliche parts of the 90's west coast hip hop with his gangsta rap lyrics, features from the usual suspects in Cali and beefs which were all reminiscent of the days that Death Row dominated everything. And like west coast hip hop it was nice while it lasted but west coast hip hop stopped being relevant for a reason and Game's career is suffering from the same reason.
I only see Game being relevant from here on out only by his occasional guest features on tracks by mainstream rappers.

hamburger make bigg sellings too, but when you talk about quailty food you ani't mention, and ain't sayin hamburger is relavant...
-
well ,if Game sold 5 millionas of copies, then he was somewhat relevant back then, don't you think?
-
Game is plenty relevant in hip-hop. I think he's had trouble crossing over since him and 50 parted ways but he still has an audience behind him.
-
didn't his last album go gold?
-
Yeah, if he'd stop releasing his best works as mixtape material (ie: Make Up Sex, Only One, Monsters among others) and get that big ass Red Star off his face. <<<my opinion
-

okay, maybe back in 2005, but not before 2005 or after, just 2005.
what about doc's advocate or the albums later?!
-
all the albums debuted at number 1, LAX and DA are platinum
-
LAX didnt ^ Slipknot beat him by 1000 copies or somethin like that.
-
Game can be relevant by being Game, by not hopping on trends sounding like other dudes

Hamburger? Do you mean McDonalds?
I think the difference between "quality" and "relevance" is getting lost in translation for you.
-
Bottom line, McDonalds is relevant...Game is not.
-
People are taking this way too far...I don't have to tell y'all how successful the Doc was. DA was a step down in that respect but still did very well. LAX was again a step down, but still went gold if I'm not mistaken, and My Life was all over the radio. Now RED was an awful album and a huge failure, but to say he was "never relevant" is a complete joke.

...relevant means sales & popularity. Da fuck?

No he can't. He has the BasedGod curse. Unless Lil B chooses to lift it it is hopeless for this guy
sorry man but Based God was old news a year ago
now it's all about GANGNAM STYLE

yeah, but after a first recount in Soundscan history that Slipknot's label asked for

my bad, relevant means to me he makin new trend/fashion in rap or hip hop, or he's got followers, he has new style of music/flow/vibe whatever new. At least everybody want some feat with him. A track'll be hit because of HIS feat.
Like the beatles or rolling stones in rock. After them nothin can be the same again.
Game ain't do these. He bring back some nostalgic nwa style. (and he ain't the best of that)
In my point he can't be relevant just because of selling 5 or 6 or 10 million cds.
he is mainstream, and he's rich and talented bussinesman (or dre and 50 who discovered him), but not relevant.

Yeah, I agree with this... I don't think he's totally irrelevant or anything, but his burst of fame was due to a lot of things outside of himself--
He had an album with excellent beats first off, then that gangsta image was still the cool thing at the time,
and he had the co-sign of Dre, 50, Em who were all on a roll around that time still...
Without those elements he's an ok rapper with a pretty cool voice, but just him rapping isn't that big a draw, he needs really good beats and the image...
It's not like with Snoop where people say stuff like, "I wish Snoop would start spitting like he did back on Doggystyle"...
Game was never really notable as a lyricist or as someone with an interesting style like Snoop,
he's more someone who got great beats and a cool image at the right time, when that image was the in thing...

i feel the same with 50 cent too, not just Game.
(that's why i said "50 is overrated" in another topic)

The Game sucks. hate hate hate

How can you say he's not relevant? The dude sold more records in the last 7-8 years than damn near everybody walking the planet. Asking a rapper to stay relevant forever is an unreasonable request, just go back over the billboards a couple of years. Look at 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and back and see how mnay names come up that you forgot about. Where are all those people? I fucks with game and so should you!

meh Game ruined his own relevancy by dissing everyone

Eh outside of falling out of the Aftermath umbrella not really (and he did ok on his next few albums). Sure, he looks like an idiot, but if he still made good music he'd be fine.
-
he is done
Jay-Z wont ever record with him
50 Cent wont ever record with him again
thats it
Dr. Dre didnt add NOTHING to his buzz for RED Album, i dont even think old Doc remembers Jayceon when its time to send xmas cards
-
My advice to The Game would be.
- Stop Changing His Style To Emulate Other Artists.
- Stop The Having Bullshit Guest Appearances On His Albums.
- Stick To 1 Theme On A Album, The Less Producers The Better.
- Stop The Waste Of Mixtape Time & Material.
I'm not a Game fan anymore since he stopped being the game. But dude can rap his ass off when he wants. He just ain't got the hunger no more and seemed to fall off as soon as he buried the G-Unit... If he just stayed in his lane he would have been the King of the west....

"As of August 10, 2012, the album has sold 266,723 copies in the United States.[112]It has sold 765,000 copies worldwide. Game has stated that the album will go platinum worldwide in the long run." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_R.E.D._Album
He's done? He sold 700,000+ records in today's pirate infested music industry. Come on now...

Just cleaned the dust off the RED album, too many fillers but had a potential to be great album, tho lately Games singles are just garbage. Lemme bump Ricky and Drug Test!!
