After strengthening his discography with the release of 1992 this year, The Game says his next album will be his last. At a recent concert in Moscow, Russia, he shared that the title of his next LP will be Westside Story and he’s planning on writing it while in jail.
“When I get back to L.A. man, I’m going straight to jail ’cause I fucking had a fight with a police officer and shit,” he said. “Ima sit down for a minute and I’m gonna write my next album, which is probably gonna be my last album. It’s called Westside Story. It’s gonna be some ill shit.”
A year ago, The Game pleaded not guilty to punching an off-duty police officer in March of 2015 during a basketball game. He lost the civil suit filed against him and was ordered to pay the cop $100,000. He was ordered to stand trial last December. In an interview with HipHopDX in October of that year, he reflected on the case and other legal battles he has going on.
“I’ll probably end up going to jail for the shit that I’ve been doing recently and I’m gonna have to sit down,” he said. “Other niggas gonna be out still on the internet pretending to be whatever it is they pretending and I’m gonna be sitting down drinking juice boxes and shit and eating nasty sandwiches because I had to prove to a nigga that I was Game. So I’m just gonna be Game. I ain’t doing shit to niggas no more because they call the police and they sue niggas.”
At the show, he reflected on what his priorities in life are right now and soaked in the fact that a kid from Compton was performing across the ocean in Russia.
“I don’t really give a fuck about that,” he said of the impending sentence. “All I give a fuck about is my music, my kids, my fans and my family, man. That’s why I still travel the world to come see you. I’m from Compton man. All the way in fucking Russia. I never in my life when I was a little kid thought I that I would be in Russia. I ain’t even knew what fucking Russia was when I was a little kid. You know when you’re a kid your teacher’s like, ‘Yeah, Russia?’ I don’t fucking know. I was a badass kid. I’d never fucking thought I’d be in Russia in my life.”
The Game had a song called “Westside Story” featuring 50 Cent on his debut album, 2005’s The Documentary.
Watch the clip of The Game announcing his final album, Westside Story below.
He should keep it west coast with the features except for a G-Unit reunion.
Yeah, sure. And Scarface’s last album was Emeritus, and 50 Cent was going to quit if Graduation outsold Curtis.
Y’all should write an article itemizing the times rappers said they’d quit when they didn’t. Can’t remember what rapper said it was whack to rap at 35+… was that Lloyd banks?
Game said it was when he was trying to go at Hov
Hope it’s not Game’s last Album after his jail time
Don’t worry. It won’t be. Just starting an early hype, that’s all.
The nigga can make good music I’m buying good day sir
Lol i remember he said lax was gonna be his last album
You 38 and ya still rappin?…….UGHHHH
At least Game will put this album out before he turns 38.
Why hip hop the only fans to put people down cuz of age? Funny thing is it’s an old white dude mixin down the tracks to make the young lames sound good. Ask Mike Dean. So if you think about it age isn’t really a factor
You CLEARLY didn’t get the reference lol
I’m 26 nigga, so is the dubs
Dayum time flies , he was just talking shyt about Jay now he the “old rapper” take note lil ship or whatever he go by
Game did his thing in Moscow. I was at the show and shit was lit!!!
If anybody actually thinks this is his last album, then you’re RETARDED!! Game has said so much BS in past years, then gone back and changed his mind, you would think he’s Donald Trump!
What’s the name of the track they’re playing in the background?
It sounds like My Life for me. Off his LAX album, featuring Lil Wayne.
Thanks!
Industry rule number nineteen ninety two: anything The Game claims is automatically false until it’s proven otherwise.
I’m happy to see this nigga loses his childeren to foster care and begs for mercy lol. 20 songs with 40 features on Westside Story maybe?
Yo Game, better keep your asshole clean in jail lol. You grabbed rotten pussy, and now it’s your time to be grabbed your ass hahaha. Change your name as The Gay.
You rollsare bunchof phaggots on here my.. Me gamebooty? Men o buttphaggots
And what are you doing in life blood? I’m G. Go back to trolling the internet, When I get out I’ll still be rich as fuck while you’ll be still trying to get the porn off of your mom’s computer before she gets home. #lotionassnigga #beatingyodickassnigga #westsidestory #cali #1992 #BWS #imgoodbutyoassisstillbrokeasfuckyoulameassnigga
Says former male stripper lol
You CLEARLY didn’t get the reference….
Game let it be known all proceeds of this album will be dedicated to paying of that thot, he has a diss lined up for her called “six million bars” ft wiz khalifa and fetty wap.
Finally he retires. Game is washed up. Steals other rappers flow, songconcepts, does too many namedropping and acts like a 12 year old child.
Agreed. Game got too corny and repetitive. He is one of the most disappointing talents ever.

useless information why would you add this?
Followed by a “comeback” album
Being a former stripper he’ll be in high demand locked up. I think he happy about it.
internet thug, piss off.
People in music retiring is the dumbest thing ever, I blame Jigga for that stupid concept. If someone comes through and laces him w a few hot tracks he think he can get paid off of, he would be back in a min
You need to fact check playa, Too Short started that concept.
50 cent and now the game retiring after their next album, so what happen to the supposed new g-unit album? cancelled? hope their last will be good
A black male punched a cop and goes straight 2 jail and a white cop kills a black male and nothin happens. I’m so sick of dis shit!! RACISM
I’m hope next album isn’t his last. Game is one of the most consistent artists of all time. He hasn’t dropped one wack album. ( not counting compilations)
Game fell off and began to put out garbage running around acting like a clown he is headed to Hollywood hiphop where artist go when they career is over save us and forget putting out anything
