Social media, if used correctly, can enhance the career of a celebrity and that’s definitely the case in Hip Hop.
The Game, who is known for his often interaction between himself and fans via Twitter and Instagram, recently spoke about not letting fans get one over on him.
“I don’t let social media overpower me. I use it to my advantage,” he recently told AllHipHop. “I fuck with my people, they fuck with me, but we have a fan-artist relationship.”
The Compton native also explained why fans have a bigger ego now and have less of a worship of musicians and athletes.
“Social media over the last 10 years has put the fan and the artist sort of on the same level ’cause now, if you have 100 followers, to those 100 followers you feel like you’re the celebrity,’ he said. “If you have a thousand followers you have a thousand people so you can sort of stunt and then when you see a celebrity, you like, ‘Ah, you know, fuck him, I’m the shit.’ I don’t allow that to happen. On my page, a fan stay a fan and I’m going to stay The Game so you not going to trump me on my shit, you not going to make me feel bad.”
The Game is slated to release his forthcoming album, Documentary 2 on October 9.

fuck it…I’m going in. This is why your readers talk shit about this site. This is why I call you lazy pathetic sacks of shit. Every one on this staff should be ashamed to call themselves writers. Does anyone on this staff know anything about Hip-Hop? Why is there a picture of Chris fucking Brown on an article about The Game?? Is there no chain of command in the DX office? Does a article not have to be approved to be submitted? Are their no checks and balances? Peer review??? Proof reading??? The typos, the grammatical errors…FINE WHATEVER. But the fact that you can’t match the picture of an artist with the content about him in the article is beyond ridiculous. This website has to be the biggest joke on the internet.
Agree 100% I didn’t even read the article or comments before I commented. Then this, it’s just pitiful and painfully sad. Because Im ashamed to actually come here and read. Fuck my life…can I get something in the Media world that still has passion to accurately inform the reader who feels invested in said culture?
Wtf hahahahahahah a picture of chris Brown? Now I know for Sure this a tactic for comments and clicks…cmon justin aren’t you the editor? this is painful…#notypo
MAYBE the reason CB is on this article because the Game said CB’s friend is the person that attacked his cars… Maybe they thought the Game was CB… Either way…

So much vitriol because the wrong picture got put up. First world problems…. All of you must be perfect I guess.
