Game Threatens LA Radio, "If I Hear ['Empire State Of Mind'] 1 More Time, I'm Startin A Full Fledge Protest"
West Coast rapper Game has publicly questioned why Jay-Z's New York anthem "Empire State of Mind" is in heavy rotation on Los Angeles radio.
Click here to find out more!
From Game's perspective, Hov's hit gets more radio play outside of New York.
"How come Power 106 plays 'Empire State Of Mind' more than New York ?," Game asked via Twitter. "If I hear it 1 more time b4 I get home, I'm startin a full fledge protest (picket signs) & Im gettin dem women dat R against abortion 2 help They go HARD !!! & when I was in NEW YORK, aint hear "Empire State Of Mind" once... they only played ATL sh!t......... #whatsgoinon ?" (Game's Twitter)
-
mad cause he hasnt had a hit like that since he left 50.
-
He's got a point, the song is too played out now.
I don't ever wanna hear it again, even though it was one of my favourites off the album.

Damn people take jokes on twitter way too literally, lol.

I was thinkin the same shit the other day.
-
Word... it's bad enough that the West Coast doesn't get it's props in other parts of America, but then to have their own radio stations on that New York shit is too much to take.
-
put out somethin half decent then without akon, wayne or rick ross on it.......then game
make somethin better for your coast
-
Game is on some immature shit.. I thought he knew, labels are paying radio stations to get airplay.. stupid of him for acting childish
-
and sides, how can he be mad at one of his idols from the east when game has a eastcoast flow? (as many on and off here have said)
your from the west, but have a eastcoast flow but your mad at the coast your jockin? haha
let it ride game
like jay-z the mag when asked about game always bringin up his name.....tell groupie to get over it....lol
-
I'm startin a full fledge protest (picket signs) & Im gettin dem women dat R against abortion 2 help They go HARD !!!
;D
-
He's clearly joking. Nice to see the guy have a laugh once in a while.
-

Game Is A 100% Right the only station in L.A. That Plays West Coast Artist Is k-Day But They Don't Even Really Play Any Of The new Shit Unless Its Julio G's West Side radio And Power 106 Plays everybody Else's Shit Except Their own West Coast Artist Only Reason Why You Hear Snoop On Power 106 Cause He Got the dream,akon On A track And Thats It.it's fucking bullshit We Got Alot of Talented Artist On The West And I They Not Getting the love They Should Be getting From The Number 1 Radio Station In L.A. It's Fucked Up So Like Game Said They Should Protest So The Station Will Start Playing More West Coast Artist.Only Time I Listen To Power 106 Is For Big Boys Neighborhood And Thats It Other Wise Its K-Day Or Hot 92 Jams.So Game Is In The Right And Im Tired Of Hearing The South And East Coast Rappers On Our Stations Nuthin Against Any of The Music Or The Artist But Its Gotta Stop And Understand this They don't play west coast rap in the East Or The South unless its Snoop And he barely Gets spins.so our Station In L.A. Needs To support The west coast artist more.

thats because a lot of west coast rappers don't make radio friendly tracks and the ones that do get radio play.. game got no problem getting radio play..you can't put out some hard gangsta shit and expect them to put it on the radio..every major radio station plays what the listeners want to hear and most west coast niggaz don't even like a lot of the music coming out the west coast ..they bump shit from other places so thats what the radio is playing...fuck is game talking about all the features you hearing from his new album is non west coast rappers so he's also feeding into the whole thing

that track shits on all game work..thats fact

LOL! real talk.
-
When will people realise that Game usually just jokes on his twitter, unless it's about his music.

I was thinkin the same shit the other day.
I was thinking this shit today, sheesh!! A N N O Y I N G !!!

All those who say the West don't put out quality tracks, get the F** outta here. A lot (not all) of Coast DJ's have no loyalty anymore. A lot of it is thnx to greed thanks to the labels paying stations to play their artist. There are plenty of West Coast artist you make great music; Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Nipsey, U-N-I, G. Malone, Pac Div, Fab, Fashawn, E-40, C-San, Strong Arm, Terrace Martin, Problem, Crooked I, Young Dre, Murs, Bishop Lamont, Clinton Wayne, XL Middleton. I can go on and on, but the music is out there and it speaks for itself. Now if you say, they aren't making radio friendly joints. Yeah, there are a few trax don't aren't but there are plenty of joints that are. There is enough to select from. Even inconsistent artist out there come out with some hot shit now and then. My sister goes to school in Daytona and she tells me they play Florida artist to death out there, so why is it that K-Day is the only place to hear any kind of West Coast sound
-
Why doesn't he remake the song into an "LA State Of Mind" and drop it for the radio? It happened in Philly; a local guy rerecorded the track and it got picked up by local stations and that track alone got more airplay than anything that a certain Philly area fatass claims to have received

kendrick lamar already made a 'compton state of mind' track, so it's kinda already been done

Its ridiculous how much hate Game gets here. He put the west on the map, he brought us Clyde, Dubb, Nippsey (they played his song on power cause game co signed him) He brought Ya boy, Eastwood, juice, cyssero, kdot, jay rock, Omar cruz, he even brought technique back in the lime light...Hes got 2 GREAT to Classic albums and LAX which gets way to hated on. LAX Files, State of Emergency is bangin, bulletproof diaries, My life dope and was a hit, House of Pain, let us live, Angel, Never say goodbye, dope boys, games pain decent, and letter 2 the king. thats 11 great to good songs, yea there was some garbage tracks but alot of dopes ones, plus the countless mixtapes that are dope as fuck, YKWII series, ghost unit, stop snitchin, and more plus all the leaked tracks My bitch, murder murder hes put out alot of dope material. Snoops put out 2 garbage albums out that make LAX look classic....It seems 2 be the cool thing on Dubcc to hate our 1 person holding down the west....i aint no game stan he aint even in my top 5 but 2 say games garbage is ridiculous for all the things hes done 4 the coast, he aint to kyrical on his albums but check out his mixtapes or his 100, 200, 300 bars...quit hating and wait for the RED album sad 2 say it but it might be the only west album dropping this year...

Whats real talk? that LA stations dnt play westcoast music? thats been known, we get 1 day of the week that they play west music! One day! Its a westcoast station! They dnt gotaa play west all day evry day but fuck mix it up and play more westcoast music...main reason i havnt lisend 2 radio in years
-
It doesn't matter what region you're from. Most radio stations aren't independent and can't play what they want. It's a business and that business is marketing. If you bring in the revenue you can bet your ass you'll get played.
That entire rant is comcial.

-
Maybe West Coast artists should consider putting out something half as appealing if they are sick of the song. That's the way the industry works.
-
who cares bout the radio....right now its all about satelite and hip hop nation plays game all the time
stop bitchin game...listen to Sirius 40

yall need to quit takin shit off celebs twitter n making shit a news

Eastwood was already known when he was fuckin with Death Row though. I can't understand why none of his BWS artists are never on his albums though.
-
Maybe if West Coast artists released albums they'd have a chance of getting some spins.

Nippsey (they played his song on power cause game co signed him)
BULLSHIT

Quality music gets play, thats what it is. If he wants it changed he needs to blame the audiences for wanting to hear it so much
well for starters I think we all know thats a load of shit. I've not heard a decent song on the radio for months.

BULLSHIT

Sounds to me like Game is one of the only rappers down enough for the westcoast to speak up about it. Most of these artists are willing to just play their position and let joe camel face get all the play.
