The Sean Bell incident happened in 2006, when four police officers shot the unarmed Bell over fifty times, killing him. After the four officers were acquitted of all charges, The Game responded with a diss track to police entitled '911 is a Joke'.
The Game reached out to other artists and asked them to hop on the track, but all of them refused.
In the interview, The Game says "I reached out to alot of artists and I told 'em what I was gonna do for Sean Bell and alot of them just... I got a gang of excuses. Nobody wanna stand up and be a man. We don't have a problem putting out a mixtape dissing each other but the people that you say or claim to hate so much, which is, or the situation that render us helpless like police brutality, excessive force, people using the shield to really deal the wrong way with human beings, you know, like nobody wanna stand up for that except me."
In other news…
Closely following his statements, The Game began to tear up and brought his interview to a close with the following ; I don't belong in this hip-hop. I belong in the like, old hip-hop. People that really didn't care about being vocal, you know. NWA and Public Enemy, people that really stood."
In related news, The Game's third studio album L.A.X. (Los Angeles Times) is set to hit stores on August 26th after numerous push-backs.
COMMENTS
"L.A.X. (los angeles times)"? come on dude... LAX is the name of the airport in los angeles... anyway i kinda agree with him, rap has changed.. and we all know how much he loved the whole nwa thing, he probably would be better off rapping 15 or 20 years ago. And yea somebody said it was funny that everyone would get on the one blood remix but not this.. that is funny, and fucked up.. rap is about making a hot song and jumping on the remix now-a-days.. nobody wants to talk about real life shit... all in all, i think he brought up a lot of good points
ps.. it said game started to tear up.. he is acting wierd lately... i hope LAX is as hot as im expecting it to be (unfortunatly, when rappers are at there most self destructive in real life, it makes for the best music.. thats why a lot of people early albums are the best, but then they get a rich and shit and forget how they got to where they are now)
Game is ill.
Dre should have kept him and peaced 50
My level of respect for Game just shot out the roof tremendously not because of how he's gettn at the Police or the rappers that don't give a shit, but by bringin a feelin back to Hip-Hop that's been missin for a long time... We underestimate the power that artist have nowadays, they could literally change the world if they only cared... Big ups to dat Nigga Game...
i'm wid chuck Taylor on this on.... he don't belong in the new brand of hip hop... when u think about it game raps like a old school cat.... str8 to the point with his disses, punch dat could hit mayweather.. these new rap jus can stan on the same plate he can...i'm startin 2 belive he goin 2 put out LAX as his last...peace
S macc u a pussy....tear don't make u any less of a man....dat jus show how deep da nigga was thinkin about wat he was sayin....u need 2 find a hold and crawl in it and die
^^^ All you cats that escaped from the goat farm are on some homo shit.
Why dont you take that shit to his page if you feel that way about him?
Not only do niggas NOT wanna hear that hoe ass shit, but it aint funny OR insulting. Its just lil kid shit.
You goat niggas make us not even wanna fuck with this site.
game is a big fag and cry baby!!! he jealous cause ha got no loot like the big cats!!!him and buck outta go have a drink and cry on each others shoulder like the babys that they are!!!! wwwwaaaa
I Guess he feelz like hes in a class of his own because NOt to many MAINSTREAM.. RApperz are GANGSTER Rappers.. he's one of the few
COOO SIGNNNNN
^^ this is the shit that is destroying hip hop. clueless to reality
Be for real.
Game said a mouthful there. Maybe someone will hear where he's coming from.
Notice how many rappers he got on One Blood Remix but not for 911 is a joke
The rap game is a joke
I feel you fam. A lot of rappers talk the talk but when it comes down to doing something about it, they disappear.
I agree with ya, but remember that a lot of rap artists did do their own sean bell tributes, who knows which artists game reached out to.
I like Game's music, but i think he gives himself too much credit
"Nobody wanna stand up and be a man. We don't have a problem putting out a mixtape dissing each other but the people that you say or claim to hate so much, which is, or the situation that render us helpless like police brutality, excessive force, people using the shield to really deal the wrong way with human beings, you know, like nobody wanna stand up for that except me."
Game is one of those artists who releases diss tracks, most recently to g-unit, and there is a lot of rappers who focus their music on socially conscious material way more than Game does, just look at guys like Talib Kweli and most recently Nas.
Game sayin hes the only vocal artist in the rap game today, is just an ignorant comment.
^^^cosign
Real talk, niggas quick to talk shit to one another, but can't stand up for what is rite.
damm i feel u game fuck these fake ass artists
Thats some real talk. A bunch of pussy ass rappers out there that don't want to reach out and help Game.
rappers need to step up n b about what they say on records!
Game keep do'n his thang we fell em"
come on now... other niggas had songs about this shit or atleast mentioned it in a line or two and fuck rocawear had my dude's wife do a campaign during trial none the less
i feel Game. i dnt think he met he da only 1 period but game iz an international artist so he prolly looked 4 sum big stars 2do da song and dey said no. cuz he can put talib on der or whoeva but itll have more of an impact if big name, big money rappers do it.
soooo yeah i feel'em. he really jus speaks his mind, bout battlin 2 dis 911 iz a joke shit 2 whateva. cuz da game definitely aint da same
yea i feel game 2, we killin' each other when we got the police killin' us, makes no sense.
some1 needs 2 step up besides game cause i dont wanna c 1 of my favorites retire. i wanna know who game tried 2 reach out 2.
if he feels that way, as far as rappers beefin wit each other maybe he should bury the hatchet wit his enemy. i feel him though. in the day of groups like public enemy, bdp, poor rightious teachers, and x-clan, the rappers always stood up to injustice. now niggas are to busy partying like rock stars to get political. these niggas aint leaders at all thats why no one hopped on the track with him.
that would help to explain why this shit continues tohappen to us black people. MUFUCKAS WONT STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT BUT NIGGAS WILL DAMN SURE SHED BLOOD AMONGST EACH OTHER OVER PETTY SHIT. WE FACING EXTINCTION AND ARE ONLY HELPING THE ENEMY
co sign that shit. we all we got.
THEY CALL THAT SHIT ETHNIC CLEANSING AND ITS GOING ON RIGHT NOW
he tryin to stand up for sean bell why dont he stand up for his own family....cuz punchin your cousin that just lost his sister is exactly what he claimin to be against
true
haha, true indeed...
He still the shit tho
Straight up I'm tired of cats using this punch thing and it's nothing against you fam or anyone else for that matter, but we weren't there, we don't know what went down, even if someone gave us blow by blow...If it ain't come outta Game mouth I don't really care to hear about it. Yes he a hot head and has a temper, but like I said we still don't know...bottom line is he 100% right and he didn't exclude himself, he said WE will diss each other but won't stand up when it's real time, that money do more than talk for people it make them real scary too, like too scared to speak up, don't wanna lose tha people who backing what little they do have...all about tha money
2 fingers
games not the only person who came out with a track right after it happened though
papoose did too
and then a lot more people made them after the verdict this year

lax gon sell more than t.o.s...bet
in the first damn day son
he said hes retiring because he wants to be a better father
"one day my son woke up and i wasnt there and he asked his grandma wheres my dad" " i was so busy goin to the studio i didn even say goodbye to him"
game isn't lying....i'm going to add my statement to his even though this has nothing to do with game....
black ppl are quick to kill eachother in the streets over foolishness like a bag of weed or $200's but when there are a group of kkk members walking around in their robes you ignore it and walk the other way without any bullets flying, if i'm wrong someone can correct me.
I noticed alotta ppl sayin "OHbuncha other rappers mentioned it or did a track bout it"...SO FUCKIN WHAT....they shoulda hopped on that shit with Game anyways if they really felt so passionate about the b/s cops pull on minorities,mainly black ppl...cus alotta rappers stay complainin' bout that shit...but now they wanna be all hush? smh....
Game should'a got at Dead Prez for that shit...they been talkin' bout racial profilin'/police brutality and the whole 9 years from the jump off....
LOL thats fucking ridiculous. If another nigga is doin a track dedicated to sean bell, why should they have to scratch that and jump on games track. If thats true, then why shouldn't game jump on their track???
I dunno why y'all talking about who Game should have got on the track, yea Dead Prez is sick with that shit, but Game straight killed 911 is a joke by himself, that track was fire.
I agree with Game's overall message though, more artists should be making socially conscious music instead of stuntin all the time.
game, dead prez,nas, KRS,AZ, Talib....that shit woulda been a hit... am I wrong????
whole 9 yards****
Okay game gets alot of rappers on the song they diss the police, okay when all thats done what point does that prove. I tired of people dissing the police on wax including g-unit. he proves nothing, because i done seen so many rappers taking pictures with the police after saying fuck them on wax.
true story rappers now wanna be on the safe side but paps put out some sht so u most of not asked everyone
@ lucdogg
Nigga your stupid as fuck..Go listen to the nigga interview on the situation with his family and maybe you can get a better understanding instead of just bumping your gums because your boyfriend gave your jaws a break...
@ Houston
I guess since these crackaz are really the ones thats making everyone rich we should just do whatever they want us to do..Stupid young niggaz like you grow up to be stupid old niggaz...Money don't make the man..Only bitch niggaz and bitches can be bought with paper..You sound like the type a nigga that would do anything for money...
i agree with Game 100%
A lot of these rappers are bitches and don't want to fuck up their endorsement deals by commenting on certain things, which means they are bitches that these white corporations got by the nutz..It's the same tactics used in corporate America to stop some of our brightest minds from speaking out on our behalf as well..Niggaz are selling each other out at an alarming rate..We are dying to be white nowadayz while they are dying to be black..The only difference is they can go back to being white when they need to...Get the cold out of your eyes and wax out of your ears and realize what the fuck is going on around you..
Big up to The Game being real and telling how he feel instead of being on his period like some artist in the game like like he say before there was The Game they was t akin bout the game
FUCK THE POLICE
thats fucked up that just tells me most of these rappers in hip hop are fake and aint really about shit but money. if they cant get paid off of it its not worth their time to speak up on something they believe in.
damn i dont know why so many people hate on game....he just speaks how he feels.
I respect Game, he real.
good music and real talk = Game.
this nigga gotta stay on his grind, and make that music we all want, and he'll be back in the documentary days fo sho.
i feel game, fuck these corny ass rap niggaz.keep bootlegging they shit. get paid.
sensitive thugs, ya'll all need hugs
He is right though......the only ones that would get on a Sean Bell track might be KRS1....you might get a verse from Lupe.......Kanye might do it....but only if he could make the beat.........common maybe....Pharaoh Monche...Black Though.....NaS....that's if he's not busy.....Andre 3k (slight possibility)
Wtf he mean he dont belong in this hip hop. Game gets bump down here, but i see where he coming from. Dudes got scared to speak out about shit and even name call people. I think Game brought all that and stood out. But i think his presence in Hip Hop is still needed.
i feel what game sayin...but he's still a joke.
"I Guess he feelz like hes in a class of his own because NOt to many MAINSTREAM.. RApperz are GANGSTER Rappers.. he's one of the few"
negro please...lol. go to youtube and search for "the game on change of heart." he an actor like da rest of em..
So what if he was on a gameshow? Pretty ironic that someones who is queer is calling someone else weak.
I agree wit Game but I also agree with whoever it was that said he gives his self too much credit. The rap game is a fucking joke nowadayz... Rappers only worried about they money, jewelry, cars, and more importantly their EGO. Its not about standing up for anything or bringing people together like it used to be. I can feel what Game is sayin' bout how he feels he belong in the old school rap shit cuz you can see that Game aint about flashin all his material shit and he does try to put a msg across... and he truly is one of the only Gangsta Rappers left... its a sad time for Hip-Hop....
ok g-unit kan be TERMINATED or whatever
but GAMEZ been terminated so who tha fukk cares??
lmao
I feel you Game !
real talk mayne .
I feel what Game is saying but he has no voice cuz he's fucking terrible. In all reality he was hot when 50 was writing his rhymes......When 50 stop writing his rhymes he just went totally off. That Game's Pain shit is wack and i hate the video! But he's right about the game changing....but that's just the way shit go every coast has their era!
what the hell?^ 50 cant even write his own damn rhymes. i luve you like a fat kid loves cake? i'm special ed i got special bread? get off 50's dick i aint heard him drop a dis that can touch games di, nas's dis, or jadakiss's towards 50. that nigga would have to pay me to let him write my rhymes.
