The announcement came at Nas's New Years Eve party in which Game along with Will I Am, Chrisette Michelle, and others welcomed 2008 with hits from Nas's career.
Game said the album, tentatively titled "LAX," will be hitting stores around June and is rumored to feature production from Dr. Dre.
In other news…
The summer of '08 is shaping up to be a big quarter for hip hop as the Shady camp, Eminem, Obie Trice, and D12, are said to be prepping their albums for release(s) around the same time as Game's "LAX."

2008: ReBirth of Hip Hop ... ::crosses fingers::
I think the last quarter of 07' helped that...but 4 million records ain't happnin no more, so 08', lets be the official comeback year.
it pretty much died for 06, but it didnt die, cuz it was still popular. it just got a big shot from wack rappers. 2007 was probably the worst year for hiphop. And if Detox is dropping this year, and eminem?!?!, D12?!?!, Game?!?! OH SHIT HERE WE GO SOME REAL HIPHOP. 2008 might be the revival of this genre. Lets hope this shit works out and nobody flops.
You can add Bishop Lamont, Omar Cruz, Stat Quo & Dr. Dre to the '08 hip hop releases. The Game- LAX The Golden State Project!

ggggggg-ggggggg-gg-gg-gggg- aw fuck it. well that makes ONE spider loc fan.
this is the year !!
both of game's cds was fire so yall already kno his "last" gone be hot
im real sick of artists promotin albums half a year in advance, when EVERYONE knows no one's shit is comin out when they say...i can think of 3 times it happened, american gangster, beg for mercy and the black album(same day), thats y no1 be buyin cd's no more, they be sick of gettin lied to and as soon as they can DL that shit they do....WHY BRING SAND TO THE BEACH MANNN
hell ya its about time some one knows where im commin from. i give you props on that.
anybody who talks shit against this nigga proly aint never heard of Doctor's advocate....A real nigga like Game always comes hard...just can't wait for the album
doctor's advocate was hard but game is by far NOT A REAL NIGGA lol i fucks wit em but everybody saw the dvds and shit i aint even gotta explain but LAX gone be fire
im really lookin forward to this shit, alot of niggaz hate on Game but when it comes to music u gotta admit both of his albums was fire, i dont fuck wit the title but this shit is gonna be serious
I cant wait for the album to come. Both of Game's previous albums were fire.
He aint just on the G-Unit dick, his also on Jiggas & Dres...on the Doctors Advocate he kept mentioning the two of 'em...like on the One Blood remix, in his verse he says somethin' like ''I'm the king, no Im not Jay Z'' or w/e...I aint really lookin forward to it...I'm waitin for his protege who just happens to be better than him...Cysserro
Cysserro do sound good, only heard one track that he was on but hes nice, voice sound lil bit like weezy's... dunno who he gonna come up with far as rappin goes, but i could picture him gettin big.. dude said 'so be eaaazzy, tell 'em 2 breath eazzzy, wit da 4 cocked, give out more shots dan speakeaaazziiiezz' straight fire.
ill legally buy this one
I don't understand why these rap dudes now of days are only coming out with 3 to 4 albums and calling it quits. If you are a rap dude and you love to spit then why only 3 to 4 albums. Is it because sales are down now, your money is that good or you really ain't really going to retire and want niggas to get your shit like if this was to your last album.
he said he didnt want to rap he just did it to support fam.
THE ONLY WAY HIP HOP WILL REBIRTH IS IF WE STOP DOWNLOADIN FUCKING MUSIC AND JUST GO TO THE STPRE AND BUY THE ALBUMS. YA MEEN
man both of games last 2 cds were crack so imma buy disZ one and check it out and hopefully it will be off da meet rack
Umm, Do you have the same copy of "The Documentary" as me?
Cuz that album was so inconsistant,
I couldn't even bang it..
u know what. im sick of everybody retiring after there third album. lupe game and 50 would be retirin if he kept his word but no he sold more in europe. the nigga dont live in europe so all i got to say is what the fuck? to that bullshit excuse and all these early retirements. not that i give a damn about banks but i hear he's retirin and hell i never new the nigga ever started.
FUCC WAT YU HEARD , BANKZ GOT A LONG WAY TO GO KID .... WIT DEM PUNCHLINES HE GOT AND THE LIRICZ...HE JUST NEED TO GET BACK TO DA MIXTAPE GAME .
He ain't retiring....this the same dude that said he'd never disrespect a legend...then went and dissed jay on my bitch.
will definatly buy this....
letz just wait and C watt thizz tricc can do.
where you hear Bank$ is retiring? i aint heard shit bout that
This will be a CLASSIC
You are a retard if I have ever seen one in my life? YOU are the clown you bitch. Hes no stripper you idiot.
One hot song and fillers? You are playing right? Flop like his last?
400k+ in the first week for US sales is a flop? Please....
Fillers with one hot song? He had songs like One Blood, Let's Ride, california Vacation, Wouldn't Get Far, Ol' English, Compton, Remedy, and Too Much.
Fucking hot songs no where near a flop, you are just hating on him because you like 50 or some shit. Hes one of the REAL rap artists out today. If you disagree with me PLEASE explain why.
doctors advocate still went gold bro what u talkin bout?
Lets hope hes off his period this time. Im a on and off Game fan cuz he always doin somethin awkard that jus makes his music unbearable.
DA was one of the purest west coast albums in years.....
that album is a 8.5 or 9.....there are too many stand out songs....
game ain't gone retire, but this album hopefully will be hot. his 2nd album was good, but not a classic like the first 1.
You are kidding right?.....
Can't lie, I wanna here this one. Game has two albums, the 1st is arguably a classic and the second was really good as well. What kills me is that all these guys keep saying this is there last album. They'll be back grindin' as soon as that cash dries up or someone who is still puttin' in work pisses them off. Then they look like hypocrites. Just do your albums and stop lookin' for sympathy cause if you stop makin' records, someone else will take your place.
shud be called Butterfly Cover-up
i heard dat hes retiring cuz he wants to take care of his family. family comes first
Gotta have a job to do that.
YEAAA CANT WAIT FOR NEW DRE ALBUM...
im lookin forward to this wit production of dre shud be aight.
This is gonna get pushed back
King Of Hip-Hop at moment. I don't think that he will retire, i think that is for publicy. Bws 4 Life
Yo, Game is my dude, and when he first came out maybe he was king, but definitely not now.
I wouldnt call him the King of Hip Hop, but him Crooked I, Murs, and Ya Boy are all t he West Coast has left right now...
First album was pure crack, DA was good as well, Most likely imma get this album tho
Dude was never close to being the "King" of Hip-Hop..
Matter of fact, it shouldn't even be a title for one person
when it comes to Hip-Hop.. But that's a whole 'nother topic.
Snoop still bangin', Jay Rock, Bishop Lamont, Ice Cube finna drop again "Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It" that shit is fire
to many people trash comments cuz they would suck off they favorite rapper even if his cd is trash they still will claim its hot...
no game will not flopand the west is gonna win thizz year we kumin out wit a hella moufukaz man we aint gonna lose game is a lyricist he has it he respects da old skool unlike 50, 50 suks its true & no1 kan tell me its kuz im a game fan i know da du i live on da street & wuz born on da street he moved 2 in his later life i like all hip-hop i know my shit but he aint gonna flop he duz not need the 50 beef he kan do it by juz doin wut he duz
LMAO @ "LAX." Game must be extremely constipated and makin an album about it.
i think dats a rumor...cause his last album is suppose to b called the D.O.C...The Diary Of Compton
