The Game Tickets Continued
The Game was originally signed as an artist on Aftermath Entertainment, but
Interscope Records CEO Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre decided to have The Game also
work with 50
Cent and G-Unit. The arrangement was to help build a growing buzz around The
Game which would also fuel interest in G-Unit. Since then he made numerous cameo
appearances in music videos by 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks,
Young
Buck, and Fabolous. Even at
this early stage in his career, he was embroiled in rap feuds associated with G-Unit, including
those with Joe Budden, Ja Rule, and
Memphis Bleek. His first appearance on a single was on Jim Jones' "Certified Gangstas",
before his own single "Westside Story" was released in 2004.
Dr. Dre and 50 Cent were executive producers on The Game's major label debut
album, The Documentary, which spawned the hit singles "How We Do" and "Hate It or
Love It" (the latter receiving 2 Grammy nominations). The album debuted at number one on the
Billboard music charts and was the tenth best selling album of 2005 in the United States. It also
debuted at number 7 in the United Kingdom and sold over 5 million copies world wide. His
sophomore album, Doctor's Advocate, which was released on November 14, 2006. This
album was set out by The Game to prove that he is able to make good music and be a
successful artist without the help of Dr. Dre or 50 Cent.
