Compton rapper Game is gearing up to drop his newly-retitled fifth album titled Jesus Piece. Now, in a recent interview with Hot 93.7’s Jenny Boom Boom, the Interscope emcee explains the origins of the LP’s new title.
Game explained that title actually originated out of his recent baptism and his desire to be more of a family man. In terms of the music, however, he said that rapper/producer Kanye West inspired the album’s new sonic direction.
“I’m calling it Jesus Piece ’cause last year in August I got baptized and so I’ve been going to church, but I still been kinda doing me out here,” he said, “I still love the strip club and I still smoke and drink. I’m faithful to my family, so I wanted to make an album where you could love God and be of God, but still get it poppin’ in your life.”
He continued, “I called in Kanye and he gave me some ideas and we had done a song called ‘Jesus Piece’ on my original album and so once I switched the title, I just kept that song and ‘Celebration,’ and I then redid all the rest of the songs to fit the concept of Jesus Piece.”
Check out the full interview below.

I like Game but I would like to hear a more West Coast sounding album from him. I get the feeling this is gonna be another MMG like compilation album with guests stars out the ass.
“I still love the strip club and I still smoke and drink” LMAO fail, when you get baptized your “born again” your not suppose to be doing the things you use to do. all hes doing is wasting the churches time i assume he attends pentecostal church since he decided to be baptized. This guy is an idiot

DRE HAS NOT PRODUCED FOR GAME SINCE THE DOCUMENTRY
Check out the production credits on his mixtape Purp & Patron.
you can go to church and be of God, but still get it poppin! game is so dumb
Game sounds more confused than Mase was.
man this nigga is sooooooooooooo corny i used to be a big fan but now i have grown up
Im tired of hearing about game…this nigga change his mind every day about something. hypes up his albums just to disappoint
So he’s re using a song from 8 years ago? Also this album better have Ja Rule on it
What would the hip hop game be if Game didn’t say shit that makes absolutely no sense?
Like yo, I like God, I mean I still want to party and fuck hoes, but Im still real committed to living righteous, I just dont want to stop pretending gangsta.
GOD LOVES STRIP CLUBS
lol
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
remember when he said that his next album wouldn’t have any features? he tweeted a day or two ago how someone else was on a song with him and Rihanna from his new album. Also, I’m confused as fuck, so this Kanye feature is old or something?
i guess he means by: song with ye, that ye was producing?
this dude is perhaps the thirtiest nigga for big features. truly scared of flopping
Well he should let ye do the beat
wack. Game acted in a gay porn with Tony Yayo and Young Buck. 50 Cent found hiz niggaz in gay porns. lmao. swag
yo so icy boii do you ever not come on this website and comment on ever article? get a job or a life maybe a girlfriend be prodcutive and stop being so childish
This will either be really good, or really really really bad.
Games Last Album on Interscope
Going out on a High.
2013 Game signs for YMCMB
He hasn’t been on a high since Doctor’s Advocate. And if he did go to YMCMB, he’ll be a much a priority as Bow Wow.
^as
“for big features. truly scared of flopping”
Having other artists on your album is no different than co-stars in a movie. It’s necessary.
uhm noooo
worst. analogy. ever
No it is more like stuffing a movie full of cameos. Most of the time it’s distracting or used for shock value. If the cameo is a selling point for the movie, then it’s a shit movie. Same goes for guests on an album.
I didn’t know Kevin Bacon could spit bars.
WHEN GAME GONNA INSPIRE HIMSELF?
GAME DOING CHRISTAN RAP
Hopefully the inspiration he got was from the soulful tracks Kanye makes, not that techno bullshit.
so he still bipolar
Im riding my bike featuring lil wayne on the handle bards
Handle bards?? Lol stupid ass nigga.
you know its a typo you just had to comment you attention whore
stupid ass cracker its a typo
tommorow im going food shopping featuring my mother with the grocery list

haha, I like this one.
my baby mother wants another child featuring 50 cent on the pussy
LMAO!!!!!!!!!! HASHAJAJA
dick riding dre featuring myself
kid going by the name game haha get a life do something productive with your life instead of mocking rappers on a hip hop website for laughs and giggles and for sure at this rate game is going to sign with G.O.O.D Music over GAYMCMB
YOU KNOW ITS FUNNY
GAME STR8 BEASTIN ON THESE NICCAS
Game does not make weak music. Niggas take Notes!
Strange guy
FLOP. He probably apoloigized to Hov like a million times. Ye wouldn’t be fuckin with game if Hov had a problem with it
last time i checked 3 no. 1 albums ain’t flop…FOH hater
i dont think this will be nothing. he aint been shit since his first two album.
i dont blame him for trying though the same old game shit is getting played out.
Pleeeeeease dont start all this religious shit on your album Game. Keep that bullshit in your personal life, dont put it on wax.
its alright if its balanced like nas, pac or dmx
isn’t this the same guy who video tapped him beating some rappers ass? lol irony
Then I don’t wanna hear this album.
fuck this nigga
I dont know whats wrong with yall haters ! Seriously ! Once a new rapper is reachin the top of the chart, everybody is behind his ass, tryna get his album or autograph.. Thats what happened with The Documentary.. Now Game is still doing a good job, trying to do what haters shouldnt hate but … Wtf is wrong with you guys ?
Trendy fans. Always been that way.
However Game has a shtick that people have been tired of. He carries himself in a way thats not convincing either and im not talking about his gangsta image. He just moves like a attention craving media whore. Other than that hes not really that talented as an MC.
“its alright if its balanced like nas, pac or dmx”
I don’t want to hear X’s prayers either.
“If the cameo is a selling point for the movie, then it’s a bad movie”
Slow down Spielberg before you hurt yourself. Cameos in movies have been drawing people in for years. Same with music. Why listen to just one rapper when you can listen to a handful who you might not have heard before? It’s so shockingly logical.
“worst. analogy. ever”
It still shook you up enough to respond.
Tired of niggas gangbangin and prayin on the same album.
Again Game changing the name and lack features of his upcoming album, I would have like to hear what Mars music would have sounded if he produced the whole album with no features.
Stop Drake from producing Aaliyah’s album:

“I don’t want to hear X’s prayers either.”
^ hey, I read that thread. You were taken to task and responded with nothing articulate or resonating concerning God.
Now before you respond, I would like to warn you that I am neither young, naive, poor, uneducated, or foolish and are well versed with the teachings.
