Is The Game still signed to Aftermath?! Will Dr Dre produce Doctors Advocate?!
A few days ago, (read post below), I came across G.A.G.E.s site and the Q&A section that apparently the rapper answers himself. Someone asked G.A.G.E about his position in whether he feels The Game more or 50 Cent more. The answer said he feels both of them, though he hasnt been close to The Game and he isnt on Aftermath anymore. I dont have any quotes from this as it has been removed from the site. (http://www.gagemoney.com/answergage.html)
I then asked my own question to G.A.G.E, which said "Your saying Game isnt signed to Aftermath anymore, and how about Dr Dres production on Doctors Advocate?". A day later I got a reply saying that The Game is moving label from Aftermath to Interscope/Geffen, and that hes not sure of Dr Dre is messing with the production on Drs Advocate.
This is very suspicious and I kind of believe it now as I posted this up in the offical Black Wall Street forums and every topic about it has disapeared?? I didnt even get a PM or notice saying why. Usually they would have closed the forum thread and said why. I didnt get any of this. I also believe The Game has moved label as the what Gage said about this all has disapeared off the G.A.G.E. web site.
Whatever the label though The Games music will still be very good and in future posts I will show new Busta Rhymes tracks, a timberland produced joint from Papoose and more from Lloyd Banks and 50 Cent.
An update on one of the newest Aftermath artists called G.A.G.E. from Philly. "G.A.G.E." aka Gage Money stands for Germantown Avenue Gotta Eat. His real name Chaz Scott also has his own record label called AMPM (Aftermath Philly Mob). You can listen to some of his songs at his website:
G.A.G.E. is currently working on his debut album in Los Angeles. The LP is tentatively titled The Soundtrack To My Life. It's expected to have production by Dr. Dre, Focus, Scott Storch, and Hi-Tek. No release date has been announced.
DPGs "Cali Iz Active" and Ice Cubes "Laugh Now, Cry Later" album covers.
DPG or DPGC aka Tha Dogg Pound has their new album cover for "Cali Iz Active". Its not the best but hopefully their music will set the West Coast Rap scene back into national and international action. Dogg Pound Gangstas release date for the album is the 27th of June:
Ice Cubes album cover for "Laugh Now, Cry Later" is also here! Coming 6th of June. With a better cover, this maybe a West Coast comeback too. Its all happening in July! Shame The Games album is not! See below:
From http://www.gunitworld.com/g-unitnews.htm apparently G-Units 50 Cent wants to produce 2pacs new album. He has very high hopes saying if he produces it it will sell 10 X platinum. He states:
"If this joint deal was to happen with Amaru/G-Unit I guarantee that 2Pac will have the greatest album to date ever," says Curtis "Interscope" Jackson boldly. "We're trying to be in talks with Amaru now and his estate and hopefully a conclusion of a joint venture can happen and we can make it happen for pac again. Me and Pac rocked the house on tha realists joint and we can do it again if the opportunity is given, where pac and I can team up again and have him linked to G-Unit. I don't see why his mother wouldn't want a joint venture with me. Mark my words, I guarantee an authentic 2pac album. I'll make a better album than All Eyez On Me and Makaveli and this is a guarantee. If Pac is with me on G-Unit I guarantee diamond status on every album because I would put out some of the best music of his life. All his mom needs is a promoter like me to do all the work and she can kick back."
If this is true, then good luck, as only a few albums (look here) have gone Diamond 10 x Platinum!
The very successful OutKast are coming back! After one of the few rap artists besides B.I.G. and MC Hammer, their last album went Diamond (10 times platinum!). They have a new song called The Mighty O and will release their new album very soon. The OutKast album will be called "Idlewild" and is the soundtrack to their own film called Idlewild. It is said to be released the 22nd of August this year. You can download the supposidly first song called Might O below: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=45CAIFQM

DPG stands for Dogg Pound Gangstas. DPGC stands for Dogg Pound Gangsta Clique. Either name, the group is made up of mainly Kurupt, Snoop Dogg and Daz Dillinger. Some will say the West Coast is back. The video has many other rappers in it such as Too Short (Too $hort), Ice Cube, Bishop Lamont and Glasses Malone.
The song "Cali Iz Active" will be released on Snoop Doggs Doggystyle Records and will be out on June 27 2006! It is produced by Battlecat.
The Games Doctors Advocate Album Delayed! Aswell as Aftermath releases!
The Games new album called "The Doctors Advocate" will be delayed until at least till August the 29th! The Game said the reason for the delay is due to the Busta Rhymes album "The Big Bang" and his friend Ice Cubes new album. Other reports say Doctors Advocate will be delayed till next year?!
Dr Dres "Detox" and Bishop Lamonts "The Reformation" are both due for 2007 for summer releases, however talks are in place to which album should come first. Also Stat Quos album Statlanta is due this year, as Dre has finished work on Bustas and Stats album and is currently working on Snoop Doggs "The Blue Carpet Treatment", Bishops album and his own. Eves album is also in the works for this year or early 2007. These releases sound great but expect more delays.
The Game has a new song called "Face of LA". This isnt from The Doctors Advocate album, but is a track to fill the space until Game drops his album which apparently wont come out until after the 6th of June. "Face of LA" is over the Mobb Deep beat from "Put Em In Their Place". The Game raps over it well, and perhaps better then Mobb Deep. Download "Face of LA" by The Game below:
One of the most anticipated albums ever in Hip-Hop is Dr Dres Detox on Aftermath. In a rumour from http://www.allhiphop.com/rumors/?ID=1004 (AllHipHop.com) his album is due to be released in 2007!
Also according to that rumour a song called "Take The Heat" by Method Man was a leftover track from Detox back in 2003. You can listen to it HERE. The track sounds pretty good and I will try and get it for download soon. And also of course it is produced by the one and only Dr Dre, listen!
