The Game recently stopped by the HipHopDX offices in Hollywood for a nearly hour-long conversation about his 15-year career in Hip Hop. The Compton-bred rapper talked about waking up from a coma, listening to classic Hip Hop albums to help find his own style and why his debut album was changed from N.W.A. Volume 1 to The Documentary.
“I said I wanted to film a documentary for the album… and Jimmy Iovine and Dre, they weren’t really in tune with shooting a documentary,” he said. “Nobody was doing that shit. But I kept asking about ‘the documentary.’ And I asked about that shit so many times, they just thought I was talking about the album.”
Eventually the album name transformed into the title that we received.
“So they just started calling it The Documentary,” he said. “When are you going to finish The Documentary? Fuck it, I guess everybody wants it to be called The Documentary.”
Although he seemed happy with the title change, he added, “If it was called N.W.A Volume 1, I think it would have even been more classic than The Documentary.”
Game also talked about how he almost signed with Diddy prior to officially inking a deal with Dr. Dre.
“It was Diddy’s idea that I go make sure that Dre hear it (his mixtape)” he said.
Over the course of the interview, Game also told stories about his career that involves everyone from Xzibit to Michael Jackson.

Game is Rap’s Version of Trump. Nothing but half truths,lies,and fake news with this clown. Can’t trust anything he says.
Yeah yeah 50 stan we get it , you don’t like Game. Go cry about it somewhere else.
Lol, game is a straight up scrub. Trump is 1000x more gangster than Games fake ass.
All politicians lie out of their ass. Stop acting like it’s a Trump thing.
Lying is Trump’s second language tho
We Don’t Believe You, shut the fuck up with your Trump Derangement Ass. Your bitch ass wanted a Hillary Presidency after the bitch called blacks “super predators” and stole from poor Haitians?
GAME STR8 BEASTIN ON THESE NICCAS
Go away Game. You said you’re retiring. Then you use the names of legends like Pac, Big and Michael Jackson to further your brand name. You’re a leech and have been since the beginning of your career. What’s more, you’re a complete liar. Please do us a favor and just go away now.
STFU
Good At Mentioning Everybody
I thought the reason for him changing the album name was because tomica wright pushed that lawsuit line on him and he settled with “the documentary”? ?
Game wanted to originally call “The Documentary”, “NWA Vol 1” instead hahahaha. Further proof that his name dropping and clout chasing has always been this bad from the start. His literal single for that final album name dropped NWA, Dre, Pac, and more… Completely expected. Game can’t make a hot song without telling stories about other famous rappers lives.
Documentary is a classic title.
Dre, Snoop, Eazy, Suge, Kendrick, YG, RJ, Aftermath, Interscope, Ice Cube, SooWoo, Priscilla Rainey, NWA, Kanye, Hov, Bey, RiRi, Drizzy, Ross, Jeezy the Snowman [verse ends and chorus begins] I was Pac, man when I played PACman! I was Pac, man when I played PACman! Uh uh verse 2 Game, SooWoo, MC Ren, Em & Nick uh, Chris Breezy, T-Pain uh Jimmy Iovine
