The Game‘s L.A.X. album made noise with the Lil Wayne assisted “My Life,” and the Keyshia Cole assisted “Game’s Pain.” Now, The Game is talking about his next single and it may just be a solo record. Still, he was lent a hand by a production duo. Those wondering how he chose beats for the album and what his next single may be should read on.
“Whenever I call a producer and tell them how I want the beat to be, I paint a picture,” he told MTV of his beat selection process. “I called Just Blaze, and I’ll be like, ‘Yo, picture Jay-Z being in an elevator in the Bronx. … It’s broke, and all of sudden he presses the garage button and it shoots through the roof. He lands on Jupiter. And he walks out in all black. I want that record!’ And Blaze will be like, ‘All right. I’m about to do that record.’
“When you listen to my album and people say, ‘You know how to pick beats’ — nah, I know how to pick scenarios and producers who understand my scenarios and know how to transform them into music,” he added. “When it comes out the speakers, it sounds like what I asked for.”
One track, which may end up being the next single, is also making noise. That would be the Cool & Dre produced “Money.”
“Cool & Dre did that beat. It’s Miami, sounds Miami. If it is the next single, we gonna shoot the video in Miami. ‘Money’ is gonna be a big record. I’mma let the streets pick the single. If I had my way, ‘Let Us Live’ would be it. That’s my favorite joint on the album probably.”
