Untitled

L.A.X. (Los Angeles Times)[2] is the upcoming third [3] studio album by rapper The Game, set for release on July 22.[4]

Background

On December 31 2007, The Game announced at Nas' New Year's Eve party the title and release date of the album.[5] The album's title was originally "The D.O.C.", but was changed to "L.A.X.". It was reported near mid-March that The Game had left prison. His manager later stated that he was still in jail, but he is expected to be released in time to promote the album.[2] He was released after serving eight days, and went back to work with Cool & Dre.[6] Dre (of Cool & Dre), stated The Game was like 'Pac, and that lyrically, he was "[somewhere] else right now".[6]

The album was pushed back to June 24, as well as rival group G-Unit's sophomore album Terminate on Sight.[7] But was later changed to July 8, as Interscope moved both albums. On June 8, it was announced that L.A.X. would be pushed back a week later to July 15, the same release date as Nas' ninth studio album.[8] L.A.X. has now been pushed back another week, to July 22.

On April 14, a snippet of a song titled "Hustler's Dream" produced by Dre & Vidal was leaked by DJ Clue. It is rumored that it was originally going to be on Doctor's Advocate but did not make the cut and is going to be a bonus track on L.A.X.[9]

On May 1st, The Game told Power 106 that "Big Dreams" might not be on the album.[10]

The Game appeared on 106 & Park on May 16, 2008, where he confirmed L.A.X. may be the last studio album The Game records, as he intends to promote his record label, Black Wall Street, and start producing music, following in the footsteps of mentor Dr. Dre.

However in a recent interview, The Game said that he may release a fourth album titled "D.O.C." or "Diary of Compton" but only if he can get the production help of Dr. Dre, MC Ren, King Tee, DJ Yella, Ice Cube and DJ Quik . [3]

Music

Production

The Game announced that Dr. Dre will be producing for the album but neither Dr. Dre nor Aftermath Entertainment have confirmed.[5] Nu Jerzey Devil has stated that Dr. Dre, Scott Storch, and Cool & Dre will be producing for the album.[11][12] On March 28 on the Tim Westwood show, The Game said that he has been in the studio with Scott Storch, Cool & Dre and Just Blaze. He also said that he has "made shit for the clubs" with Scott Storch. On May 1st, The Game told Power 106 so far he has worked with Just Blaze, Kanye West, Cool & Dre, Scott Storch, Timbaland, Knobody, Ervin "E.P." Pope, Jelly Roll & Tre Beats[13]. The Game told 106 & Park that he spoke to Dr. Dre on May 15 2008 and there is still a possibility that 1 or more Dr. Dre beats will be on the album but it is as of now, unlikely. On 106 & Park, The Game confirmed that Dr. Dre is not going to be on the album and he will possibly never work with him again.

Nu Jerzey Devil has stated that Lil Wayne[11] will be making a guest appearance. So far Akon, Busta Rhymes[14], Chris Brown[15], Chrisette Michele, Lloyd Banks, 50 Cent Common[16], Ice Cube, Keyshia Cole, Lil Wayne[11], Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Marsha Ambrosius, Mary J. Blige, Nas[17], Ne-Yo, Raekwon, Raheem DeVaughn, Fabolous, Robin Thicke[18] are all set to make an appearance.[19] On May 16, 2008 The Game told 106 & Park that his next single or 3rd single will be a track featuring Lil Wayne.
