The Game is apparently done with the game. On Tuesday (October 15), the veteran MC hit up Instagram and announced his last studio album Born 2 Rap will arrive next month via his new imprint, Prolific Records.
“Hood morning (no typo),” he wrote in the caption. “To my day 1 fans & those waiting on the album…. I know I’ve been quiet but I’ve been grinding, tightening up the album for a November release. In the process, I started @prolificrecordsla & I will drop my last studio album #Born2Rap on this imprint.
“I’ve created classic merch & here are a few of my favorites !!!! Go to theprolificrecords.com & shop NOW !!!! REAL FANS ONLY !!!! Get the merch before the album drop next month [CLICK THE LINK IN MY BIO] #Prolific.”
In June, Game explained why Born 2 Rap would be his final album during an interview with Power 106.
“It is the last album,” he said. “You know what man, 10 albums is good. No other rapper outside of Drake has more number one albums than me. We tied at nine. But, my album comes out, hopefully, he don’t throw no shit out before me!”
Nipsey Hussle and Meek Mill are among the guests expected to make the album.
Good. I wish more rappers would know when their time is up, know when their fan base is long gone, and know how we ultimately don’t care about their wack, non-rapping ass anymore. Let these fresh and undiscovered artists get their chance and time to shine. This nigga Game ain’t been hot since like 2006 anyway. Bout time he done finally realized his career is over himself.
What a stupid prick
You gotta be like 15 years old saying some stupid shit like that
Lemme guess, you all on takashi snitch 9 nuts huh??? “no-snitch”
50? Is that u ..
That new song westside is flame. I hope that makes the album. Game is nice and these new rappers are straight trash. Games history with sean T and JT the bigga figga is just as legendary as working with dre and g unit. even more so to me. new rappers need better beats. not feeling every single song sounding like a sprinkler
Documentary diamond? I don’t think so. Not even worldwide. Game makes great albums though
not to mention there’s no such thing as “worldwide diamond” – diamond, platinum, gold all have different classifications for each country, but there’s no total worldwide classifications. But like you said even then 10 million sales worldwide is still doubtful for the Documentary- think it did 2+ million here, maybe 3 tops. Prolly did about double that total worldwide
Nearly 4 million, not quite. I doubt it sold another 6+ worldwide….
???? King Blood out here selling candles and it’s the only thing that’s sold out! What’s that say about these rankers that follow him. Real studio gangsta!
Game been saying this for every album since RED. I’ll believe it when I see it.
Good. Keep that same energy. Dont try to come back out of retirement.
Co sign this statement LOL
He just needs more time to sexually assault these women
Lost interest when he started pandering to Drake and Kanye and making that sing songy bs. Some people will do anything to try to stay relevant…
So you lost interest after listening to “Dreams” on The Documentary. Aight.
If your going to actually compare “dreams” to half of the junk he made years after, your reaching hard-core….
I see the confusion. Pandering doesnt mean working with, it means falsely glorifying.
Does anyone know how close he was to Nip? I always thought Nip was closer to YG, snoop, Dave east and meek
His doing this fucking hood morning no typo shit for like 10 years, its cringy af
“No other rapper outside of Drake has more number one albums than me. We tied at nine. ” ——> HIGHLY doubtful, definitely sounds like trump making up stats. Can anyone fact check this? I doubt more than 3 of his albums have hit #1 on the Billboard charts. And the REAL top 200 chart that is, not the rap/r&b/”urban” charts. As far as rappers that have more #1 albums off the top of my head- hmmm lets see prolly Jay, Kanye, 50, DMX, prolly Pac with all his posthumous LPs, Snoop, LL, Wayne, Nicki to name a few good guesses. And I like Game but dude is too much sometimes.
not sure how 50 is up there, since 50 only has 5 studio albums.. 7 if you count the 2 g unit albums……
I was guessing the rappers who probably have more #1 albums (meaning albums that have hit #1 on the Billboard Top 200 list) than Game, since this claim of his is clearly “fake news.” Certainly rappers with less total albums can have more than him that have aactually hit #1.. I havent looked it up but I know Game does not have 9 #1 albums, probably 3 at most, maybe even just 1 or 2.

Why the hell would the R&B/hip-hop chart not count… he’s making hip-hop for god’s sake haha. Only streets of compton and the Doc 2.5 are not no. 1
Ummm because the term “NUMBER 1 ALBUM” means #1 of ALL genres on the billboard top 200 list.
According to Wikipedia Born 2 Rap will be his 9th studio album…
I think he also counts Year of the Wolf
Just be real about. Dont BS that Dr Dre produced half the album and other craziness like your last 5 albums with 0 Dre beats
There are alot of movie clips of him and dre in the studio with Snoop. Also working with Dre on his song which features Nipsey.
So now that Nip died its “Prolific” Records huh? What happen to hislasst two labels Black Wall Street Records and Blood Money Records??? This guy can rap but hes so corny.
Dont forget when he was Rolex Boys.
Prolific Records – another move made by bipolar Game, a move that characterized his career, clinging on other people’s work. Should’ve stayed with Black Wall Street. And I thought learned his lesson to not over-hype his work, that Justin Timberlake joint went from Grammy award to a dud.
He said in 2008 that LAX would be his last album, so I’m a little skeptical. I don’t mind though, I haven’t checked for his albums since RED. He started following trends instead of making great music.
Well you missed the Documentary 2 / 2.5 which might be his best album,
You 39 and you still rapping..? UGH.
Never heard that before.
Ppl on here talking about The Game rapping at 39! ?What’s your point? He still rapping fire.
????? life happens fast.
The Game, Face and Geto Boys, N.W.A., EPMD, Eric B. and Rakim, Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, Dougie Fresh, Public Enemy and so on. Oh and LL, all legends.
?I’m a B-L-double-O-D
Been on songs with S-N-double-O-P
Inside a Ferrari with the D-R-E
Run up I let it sing like Nate D-O-double-G ?
“You 38 and you still rappin? Ugh” – remember when I said that? look at me now, turning 40 next month. west coast!
Age don’t matter. Rap is the only musical genre that has a freaking age limit! Rock does not have one look at Mick Jagger still going on tour!
Dumb ignorant fat old black man wanna be gangster.
I like the Merch, Game is a great rapper, but this wont be his last album and he will say he’s still 38 3 years from now.
All of Games “Merch” is sold out . massive LOL! I bet there was never any merch to begin with. Nice try, tell your marketing dept it’s been done 1000 + times. Who do you think you are cowboy? Supreme?
Only rappers will announce retirement while still having to release an album, then you know it’s going to be some half-assed shit. And then ironically name it “Born 2 Rap”.
Correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t he said this before so many times and hasn’t he claimed “retirement” before. Tired of these rappers pulling the retirement card for buzz.
I haven’t listened to this guy since his sophomore album smh
I question nine #1 albums. He exaggerates his album sales like 50 does his bank account.
Definitely a lie.. I looked it up, he’s got 4 (his first, unsurprisingly)
Jay has 14 #1 albums…. you high fam
Bizzy bone already dropped album of the year…carbon monoxide classic
