Game on his Relationship with Dr. Dre & Status of The R.E.D. Album
Complex called Game to ask him about the two Dr. Dre produced tracks on Purp & Patron and he said they were recorded as recently as July:
“Everything on that is new. [I recorded the songs with Dre] probably a couple months ago in late July. [...] People think ‘You’re back in with Dre,’ but I’ve been in with Dre. I haven’t necessarily had him on an album, but I’ve been working with Dre on Detox for my entire career. The world doesn’t know ‘cause Detox hasn’t come out yet and I haven’t had anything from him on L.A.X. and Doctor’s Advocate because, you know the politics. But me and Dre been talking and chilling since the beginning. Documentary came out and I went my own way, did what I had to do to take care of my family, but it ain’t like he didn’t call me or I ain’t check on him.”
Game also spoke on what’s missing on The R.E.D. Album (a single, obviously) and his recent meeting with Jimmy Iovine, after the jump.
“I think ‘The KIll’ is the only song [off Purp & Patron] with enough potential to make it on The R.E.D. Album. The R.E.D. Album is pretty much 95 percent done. Until I find a record that is just so amazing to me, and it’s next level and doesn’t sound like anything that’s out, and makes me feel comfortable with it being played on the radio and shooting a video to it, I won’t give R.E.D. Album a date. At this point it’s pretty much in my hands. I had a meeting with Jimmy Iovine and the label heads about a week ago and they gave me the green light to kind of pick a date when I want. The album is so classy, that I can’t sell it short with any single man. I wanna come with the right song, and make sure it’s a song that’s classic and iconic, and then we’ll know. I’m recording every day for no reason. Pharrell is executive producer and it ain’t gone change. I got Dre producing on the album, I got Premier. Like all the people I’ve wanted on one album, are on this album. I knocked out like two, three joints with Premier before I left on tour, so maybe shit, the end of like October, but, I’m probably gonna use one on the album. Premier sent me the joints he did. Something he don’t never do. Premier don’t send you shit through email, but we’ve been meaning to catch up to each other and work, and he was doing some stuff with Christina Aguilera and some other things so he be everywhere. So he ended up saying, ‘I’ll just send you these joints. I made this for you.’”
Interviews like this are the only time I have no issue with Game’s name-dropping. LOL.

I was listening to some Wu the other day and realized something,RZA is super underrated.
The way niggas dismiss him helps me understand how wack ass Nicki Minaj gets compared to Kim and some can fix they mouth to say she’s better.

^why is that unacceptable? drake is coming up in a time where hiphop is mainstream. nas was more of a pioneer so the sponsor money wasn’t as available. niggas think because nas is nice on the mic that it automatically means he makes more money. the facts state otherwise. keep your blinders on if you like.

I know you wanna see Nas lose cuz of Ether,and that’s o.k. if that’s how you really feel. But a Nas/Drake comparison of any sort is dumb.
