Game has been dropping outtakes from Jesus Piece as part of his “Sunday Service” series, but now he unleashes another star-studded cut that will appear on his upcoming album.
On the Cool & Dre-produced “All That (Lady),” the Compton MC praises the special lady in his life (“I love you like cooked food”) over a sample of D’Angelo’s ’90s classic “Lady.”
Big Sean, Lil Wayne, and Fabolous chip in verses, while Jeremih channels D’Angelo on the soulful hook.
The Game kicks off the first Sunday Service of the month with “Rollin’” featuring Kanye West, Trae tha Truth, Z-Ro, Paul Wall, and Slim Thug. The soulful track, produced by Kanye and Cool & Dre, will not appear on Game’s upcoming album Jesus Piece, due December 11.
“Yet again we couldn’t get the sample cleared,” tweeted the Compton MC. “But when you get the album.. Put this in ya playlist right behind ‘Jesus Piece’ & it will line up perfectly.”
In honor of his birthday, Game gives back to his fans with a new song called “Judas’ Closet” featuring Nipsey Hussle. The West Coast MCs trade righteous rhymes over the Timbaland-produced beat, a leftover from his Jesus Piece recording sessions.
“Feel like I sold my fu**in’ soul to the devil for these palm trees and these six fours,” raps Game, who celebrated his birthday at a party in L.A. last night.
“My bday is YOUR bday !!!!! I gotta surprise bday gift for you guys since y’all been sending happy birthdays to me all day,” he tweeted before dropping the track.
Shyne is out for blood. The former Bad Boy rapper rips into Game once more on his diss record “Bury Judas.” He previewed the track earlier on the acapella “Psalms 68 (Guns & Moses).” On the fiery record, he claims Game modeled his career after his and threatens violence.
“This is blasphemy, your career is patterned after me/ I got shooters out in Cali that’ll blast for me/ You forgot I’ll put your chest where your back should be,” rhymes the Gangland rapper in his husky baritone. “Get what you came for, you the big bad Blood, what you scared for?/ I shoot that butterfly off your face/ Tell Jesus peace and I’ma smile at your wake.”
Game previously addressed Shyne on his freestyle “Cough Up a Lung,” which was recorded in defense of his fellow Compton native Kendrick Lamar.
With two weeks to go until his fifth album Jesus Piece arrives, Game heads back to the strip club on “Stripper,” the fifth installment in his “Sunday Service” series. The Compton rapper pays homage to the exotic dancers including Maliah Michel, known for her relationship with Drake and Sean Kingston.
“Drake talk about her, maka a ni**a mad/ You heard that song, best that he ever had,” raps Game, while comparing her to a car. “She got hips like the kit on that Challenger/ She got horsepower and need stamina.”
Wale also drops a verse over the soulful Cool & Dre-produced beat. “She the reason we all here/ She the reason they all stare,” rhymes the MMG MC.
Game explained why the song was left off Jesus Piece. “‘Stripper’ was supposed to be on #JesusPiece right after ‘Church’ so when the album drops throw it right behind it in your playlist,” he said. “The reason it didnt make the album is because some old fart wouldn’t clear the sample ha ha ha…. All good, enjoy the FREE music.”
As Thanksgiving ends and Black Friday begins, Game drops the video for his remix to “Celebration” featuring Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. The Compton MC sampled the Cleveland group’s hit “1st of tha Month” on the original song, which will appear on his fifth album Jesus Piece, due December 11.
“Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving & went in on all that good food,” wrote Game. “But as we approach Black Friday I wanted to hit you with this #ThanksgivingService as a special holiday edition of my #SundayService series with the ‘Celebration’ remix video.”
Put the purp in the blunt and let the good times roll.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, some of hip-hop’s biggest stars gave back to their communities. On Wednesday, 50 Cent joined Feeding America and the Food Bank for New York City to serve a holiday meal to New Yorkers in need and those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
There was a “Celebration” in Compton when Game returned to his old ‘hood to hand out turkeys to the locals. The self-proclaimed “Black Robin Hood” kissed women and babies and gave away over 1000 turkeys. After he ran out, he went back and bought 500 more to pass out. “Thankful to give,” tweeted Game.
Always one to keep it real, Young Jeezy hosted his annual turkey giveaway at The Gallery at South DeKalb in Decatur, Georgia. “Sharing is caring,” said the Snowman as he distributed turkeys to people of all ages and races.
Earlier in the week, Nicki Minaj visited her old elementary school P.S. 45 in Queens to speak with the students and donate turkeys, while her YMCMB fam Birdman and Slim passed out turkeys and other Thanksgiving items in their native New Orleans.
Game made his reality TV debut on his new VH1 show “Marrying The Game” earlier tonight. Now he sets out to make hip-hop history by teaming with the legendary Bone Thugs-N-Harmony in the video for his remix to “Celebration,” which samples the Cleveland group’s classic “1st of tha Month.” The clip was shot in L.A. earlier this month and will debut in full on Thanksgiving. In the meantime, check out the black-and-white trailer.
