After first pushing back the release date for The Game's DVD documentary Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin from December 6th to January 17th, distributor Bungalo Records recently announced that the release has been canceled for unspecified reasons...
Last month SOHH reported on the DVD release, which was being sold on several websites including 50snitch.com, blairsnitchproject.com, wedonttalktopolice.com and stopsnitchinstoplyin.com.
Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin follows the Game from UCLA to locations throughout the East Coast, searching for his arch rival through man on the street interviews. At one point the Game is shown encouraging a crowd to march through NYC with signs protesting 50 Cent. Another part of the film, shot on digital video, shows a billboard Game rented on Jamaica Avenue in Queens which displays the rapper's anti-G-Unit slogan, "G-Unot!"
Footage of the 100 minute DVD, which was also directed by The Game, includes the California native and friends climbing a fence to get onto the basketball court at 50 Cent's Farmington, Conn. home. While performing a slam dunk the 6 foot 4 rapper accidentally snaps the rim and steals it.
"We broke... 50's basketball court," The Game said describing the incident in a November interview on Sirius Satellite Radio's Westside Hype Radio show. According to the show's DJ the rapper wore the rim around his neck at the studio, joking: "This is 50 Cent's rim from his backyard. This is my new bling-bling!"
DJ Skee, a producer who worked on the Game's Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin mixtape told the LA Times, "50 was on the radio talking about Game and trying to destroy his career," Skee said. "So he thought about what 50 did to Ja Rule. He didn't want to turn out in that same pattern. Ja Rule never responded to 50 and he looked weak. [The Game] did this to save his career."
"The DVD is not as serious as it may sound," DJ Skee said. "A lot of it is quite funny."
Still, despite being delivered in a lighthearted matter, the content of The Game's unreleased DVD could be perceived as taking things too far. While the cancellation of the DVD may prevent the majority of Hip-Hop audiences from ever viewing the film, promotion for the DVD has resulted in increased sales for the corresponding Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin mixtape.
Saying only that it does not comment on unofficial releases, Interscope has remained silent on the subject of Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin. For almost a year now Interscope Records has been host to a civil war of words exchanged between 50 and Game, two of its highest selling artists.

50 was rumored to buy the rights for 10$ Millions. The amount is surely wrong but I guess 50 was afraid to be exposed. Anyways I think it will leak

you can pretty much bet that one way or the other, this will drop.
it looks like 101 is trying to release it now so who knows ...
if it gets blocked, it'll eventually leak

Looks like the story sohh started was fake. And the dvd has the Bungalo logo on it so I guess they still behind it.
