The Game Tells Jay-Z To Push His Album Back - Hip Hop/Rap Music and Urban Social Network Community

**Simagine** · 10-23-2006, 09:40 AM

With The Doctor's Advocate set to drop less than a month from now, The Game is advising competitors to push their albums back, even Jay-Z.
"As far as my release date, November 14th, and Jay dropping on the 21st, he should move his album away, because this album ... like Jay is a legend, we all love Jay and respect Jay but it's that out of retirement album," Game told SOHH.com. "It's the are we gonna get the old Michael Jordan back or are gonna get that Mike that played for the Wizards so everyone's is gonna wait to see what he's gonna do --- but I know what I got."

"It's sort of like poker. When you know you got a royal flush it doesn't even matter what the rest of the players got, cause once I lay these cards out the fucking game is over and that's just how it is," Game continued. "So with Jay being a week behind me, Jay's gotta worry about Snoop [Dogg] and vice versa cause they're dropping on the same day. Me, I got my own day and a whole 7 days to sell a million records and I might outsell them the second week, who knows."

On another note, The Doctor's Advocate's cover art was recently unveiled. Heads were shocked to notice that the cover bares a striking resemblance to its predecessor, The Documentary.

"Five, ten years from now when I look back at my albums I want them to tie in. It's a growth process. [The] first album I went from 15 inch gold Dayton's [tires]. Those Daytons are the cheapest, the Compton emcee explained. "I was sitting on two gold tires. You can't get nowhere with two tires unless you on a motorcycle, you obviously need two more rims. With the first album that picture it basically saying that I was stuck in this place for so long in my life, Compton...you know, the struggle. But I was at a stand still cause you can't go anywhere unless you got four tires. So I was just sitting there posting."

"So on this one there are two 26 [inch] chrome Daytons," he added. "Those are top of the line. On this album I'm sitting on four tires, so it's time to get the ball rolling and make moves in hip-hop. And the next album we'll try to keep it similar to the second one and keep establishing that chemistry and tie these things in."

The Game's The Doctor's Advocate is slated to hit stores November 14th.

Uh, why? It's hardly like these cats are trying to innovate and originate with each new album they drop. Shit makes perfect sense to me, more of the same.

the picture would have been better, if you had of said pull the trigger rather than yourself.

oh well, next time.

the fuck? whatever rapper has ever had their album covers all tie in? Create some sorta timeline...thats the plan, and u clown the kid for NOT trying to do something innovative or original? whether its WACK or NOT, is not the question...but dude DID sit there and came up with something that he thought would reflect his growth as a rapper, and said FUCK wat ppl are gonna say, cus this means something to me.

And believe me...i think dude is a herb, like no other. Does all kinds of gay shit, but aside from that i still like his music. And the criticism of whats being said here is ridiculous.

Bro, I was criticizing the comment I quoted. I was criticizing and generally laughing at the people who were 'were shocked to notice that the cover bares a striking resemblance to its predecessor, The Documentary.' If you readit properly, I'm agreeing with his choice of cover.

**mic-nificent** · 10-23-2006, 12:41 PM

this has already bin posted but good lookin

**iDeaL** · 10-23-2006, 12:49 PM

hmmm, i re-read it, and when u say "more of the same" it COMPLETELY sounds like ur saying that people shouldnt be shocked because they should EXPECT some unoriginal and uninnovative shit from Game.

**Phade** · 10-23-2006, 01:21 PM

Yeah that's what I'm saying. As far as I'm concerned the guy has no musical credibility whatsoever. He isn't hyping his new album saying 'man this is incredible I put my heart and soul in this and made some beautiful music'. He's judging how successful an artist is by how much they shift.
I can't believe you're impressed with the album cover shit. The idea of conceptual continuity dates way back, even in rap alone. It's not original or clever, and just cause some rapper does it doesn't make it new. It's just an album cover. He's not reflecting his growth as an artist or rapper either, he's reflecting his growth in wealth. Fuck that.

The original point I was making is that he might as well give it the same cover as the documentary, cause it'll just be more of the same old music.
And yeah, you should expect unoriginal music from the game, as you should with nearly all rap artists. I'm not saying it's terrible music, just unoriginal and, in many cases, boring imo.

^i said "wack or not" for a reason, because i WASNT saying i was impressed, i was just saying that I THOUGHT it was more original then just the average album cover. I mean most just have a dudes face and the name of the album....or a fuckin landscape, and the name.

also..

^lol, dont come at me like the ONLY reason i thought it was new was because "some rapper" did it. I thought it was new, because ive never seen other album covers take that route, simple as that. Maybe YOU have, but i hadnt. Had nothing to do with the fact that hes a rapper, and i look to rappers for knowledge.

but..

^Never looked at it that way. You're completely right. I change my opinion now.
