Game Charged For Funeral Brawl, Nas Denounces Primo Collabo Rumors

by JOKESTA

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2008

Game Charged For Funeral Brawl

West Coast rapper The Game has been formally charged with criminal battery for attacking a family member. 

The charges stem from an incident earlier this year in which The Game allegedly assaulted his cousin, Robert Kirkwood, during his sisters funeral in early July. 

According to reports, The Game had promised to pay at least half of a bill to bury Kirkwood's sister. But according to Kirkwood, soon after the promise, The Game changed his number and began avoiding Kirkwood.

Kirkwood went on to say that he didn't hear from Game again until the day of the funeral[July 5] when he [Game] unexpectedly showed up and began to speak about family values and kinship.

Kirkwood, who was very upset by this, confronted the rapper outside of the funeral home, and alleges that Game punched him in the face.

According to reports, Game could be tossed back in jail if he is convicted of the battery charge since he is currently on probation for a firearms offense.

Nas Denounces Primo Rumors:

New York rapper Nas has officially denounced rumors of a collaborative album with legendary producer Dj Premier.

The rumor, which had been circulating for some time now, was reignited during a July 2008 interview with MTV in which Nas speculated that he might release two albums simultaneously, one produced entirely by Dj Premier, and the other produced entirely by Dr. Dre.

However, in a recent interview with Dj Semtex, Nas says that his words were just wishful thinking.

"That's just--that's just wishful thinking," Nas tells Semtex. "Nothing's concrete yet."

I feel like it’s fucked up that someone would just now press charges, on their own cousin that they kno is on probation, over an old ass fight .

Bitch move … he just wanna see a nigga in jail

What is the time limit on shit like that?

at a fuckin FUNERAL? come on now...thats the wrong time and place to be doin shit like that...especially between family members
and i cant believe dude pressed charges on game...thats some bitch shit
if i fight one of my cousins or somethin like that im not gonna press charges, we probably gonna be laughin about it an hour later

anyway YOOOO if nas gets an album produced by either one of them thats a instant classic, hands down

man i bet Game spends as much $$$ in one night at the fuckin club as he would have on a FAMILY MEMBER'S funeral... i bet LAX is tight but fuck givin Game money i lost respect for him cuz of that... and they were only asking for half... what a sorry ass dude... whatever happened to rappers bein role models or any musicians for that matter... i mean why da fuck is it cool to be out guns and shootin and killin and shit?? Were we fuckin put on Earth to be "hard" and kill ppl for walkin down the wrong steet?!?! I mean whats the fuckin point... what are they dieing for? What are they being hard for? FOR WHO?! FOR WHAT?! Whats there to gain?! Money?? What so they can be a ridiculous gaudy ass chain and watch kids on their hometown street starve to death knowing they coulda fed a whole neighborhood for years wit the money they spend on useless jewelry that they wear once and then put away.... I just dont fuckin get it no more... Im just upset with the direction that hip hop and its culture is headed... I mean im a white boy from Baltimore and this is the shit i notice... i can only imagine it being 5x worse for people that are way farther in the thick than I am... there has got to more to this shit... somethin gotta give yo... sorry im preachin fellaz... i lost one my boys other day cuz a mother fucker thought his life was worth the 20 dollars he had in his pocket when he was trying to willfully give it up... im just sick of what hip-hop represents and what its doing to our streets.....

dude i feel the shit outta u man. im a white boy from baltimore as well i stay up on charles st around north ave. its rediculous the shit that goes on in bodymore. i mean u got dudes pitchin dope n ready at all hours to anyone thats brave enough to come around. but the worse part is seein the kids work em. n i mean ive copped from little ass kids before, theyll pay the kids to ride bikes around lookin out for cops. n im not hatin trust me i feel the grind for real. but whats this teachin the kids? they skip a day of school n make more money then their parents do in 2 weeks. if ur 12 years old n ur makin thousands of dollars y the fuck would u stay in school. n theres no way to stop it...

but i digress, it is music that fuels the whole thing i guess in a way. but games a fuckin bitch for not takin care of his family in a time like that. id seriously fuck this clown ass up if i saw him. id like to c him come around my city that fucker would b dead not just robbed. hes a stuntin ass motherfucker. id rather have someone that knows they a pussy or at least not a banger n doesnt act like it then someone that fronts like hes hard when hes really not. thats how u get in trouble... hell get his eventually. like when hes in jail...

damn too bad we won't see a Nas & Premier collabo, they should really make an album together, one of the best lyricists and producer's in the game, don't know what to say about the Game incident, i don't think that this is the entire story, there's probably more to it, but if it is so then he should've payed for the funeral, anyway's hope he won't get locked up, keep ya head up Game

i would punch my fam for coming at me too. granted i don't know all the details, but there is a time and a place for ish like that. neither one of those were right in this situation.

Preemo is my all time favorite producer. Why??? cause a lot of my favorite artists made some of thier best material under his production. the reality is the rumor of Jay and Nas doing exclusive Preemo cd's has been going on since like 2000. The black album was swarmin with rumors like that, but Preemo didn't even get a track on that cd. Will it ever happen??? just ask yourself this question. WHEN HAS ANYTHING THAT PERFECT TRULY HAPPENED AS FAR AS THE MAKING OF AN ALBUM GOES???? it is definatley wishful thinking, but how likely is it????? it's not gonna happen. just be happy if you get a track from them two on his next album.

IDK about this shit. In an interview Game said his cousin came up to him at the funeral and demanded the money. Game said he was gonna pay it until he cousin got all crazy with him. You can just demand money from somebody, even if they are family.

But, anyway, I would love both of those NAS albums. CLASSICS on the way, I hope.

u dont know if that man came at game sideways like the nigga said earlier emotions run crazy at funerals one wrong word or action and the who spot could blow truthfullyand believe me having money seems to make family think that ur indebted to they ass.....and i dont listen to radip or watch tv too much anymore im concerned with my own music.....is primo really still that revelant cuase nas is my favorite rapper and he is not a relevant as he once was....and the nigga is the true g.o.a.t and im not hating im just oblivious to whats going on with primo lately
