The Game

West Coast rapper, The Game pleaded not guilty to three felony charges on Tuesday, September 25. The Game was accused of making criminal threats, possessing a firearm in a school zone and exhibiting a firearm in the presence of an officer ... all during a pick-up basketball game. Dude got all bowling alley-Walter Sobchak-style pulling his piece out on the court (read: The Big Lebowski).



The alleged victim testified September 4 and also told the court that The Game punched him ... during the game. I bet somebody's wishing they'd used a different MC name right about now.

Damn, VH1 is breaking out on some hip hop and R&B. The station announced a new show, "Bridging the Gap," that will feature Eve, Queen Latifah, The Game and Snoop Dogg in a bit of which-era-is-better fluff.

Rapper The Game will be able to avoid jail as long as he can avoid trouble for six months too. In other words he'll probably be in jail within the next six months.

The Game, who collabo'd with Ja Rule recently, is charged with impersonating a police officer but if he's on his best behavior and doesn't get in trouble for half a year, the charges will be dismissed.

He was nabbed in November of 2006 after a yellow cab was pulled over for running red lights. The driver later told police that The Game told him he was a police officer and instructed him to run the lights. It's like The Game watched that new Chamillionaire video one too many times and just didn't realize Cham was acting.

Rapper The Game is looking at the possibility of spending the next five years in prison. He'll stand trial for three felony charges - making criminal threats, possession of a firearm in a school zone and exhibiting a firearm on the grounds of a facility for minors.

Uh oh. Ja Rule might be getting a little scared about releasing an album in the same month as 50 Cent and Kanye West.

Their first edition of 'Hip-Hop Cash Kings' is the whitest thing to happen to rap since Eminem (He's #6).

Remy Ma, Lil Wayne, The Game, Gucci Mane, Fabo from D4L and Three 6 Mafia will also appear on the album.

So you're telling me that you went out and got a rapper named Baby to drop a verse on the remix to your son named "A Bay Bay?" High fives all around for that synergy paper!

Don't expect to hear the eloquent words of Jayceon "The Game" Taylor on the BBC anytime soon. The network has put a ban on any further interviews with the rapper after it broadcast his homophobic remarks during a sit down with host Jo Whiley last year.

Australia ain't hearing that.
