Once again, I got the new Source mag w/ Game on the cover yesterday, and for those of you who don't have it, u should get it cuz it's a very good issue. Anyways, towards the middle of the Game interview is when they speak to Fase about Game. He says the following:
1. Game's name didn't come from his grandmother but from a pro wrestler in the WWE
2. The Gam'e gangbanging history really only lasted one year before he signed a deal w/ Dre. "He made some references about selling cocaine. He never did that a day of his life".
3. Game was never in coma and actually checked himself out the next afternoon.
4. Fase goes on to say that everything was lovely in the Taylor family until his baby brother strated to treat him like just another member of the posse. So Fase broke out and returned to Compton. Fase says "I put too much into it not to get anything back. I am not just the dude's older brother. This is not like Tupac and Mopreme. Everything the Game represents is me"
In his defense, Game says: "I probably won't ever talk to my brother again. It's not crushing. I know where it stems from. I have been dealing with this my whole life. On the outside you think 'That's your brother. Jus make up and keep it moving.' But this aint on no industry shit. It goes deeper than that. It's been goin on a lot longer than I have been rapping. My brother has always envied me. It has nothing to do w/ Hip Hop. My relationship w/ Fase in not repairable. I don't need that negative energy around me, my son, or any of my family."
On his family, Game says: "I grew up in a foster home because my father molested my oldest sister when I was 6 years old. We got slpit up, and that was ultimately whi I am as fucked up as I am today. I stayed there until I was in high school. That shit was like a kiddie prison. Ceramic floors. White sheets on the bed. Fucking oatmeal for breakfast for 10 years. My mom tried to visit me every chance she got, but when you are a ward of the court, you are dealing w/ a lot of sanctions and welfare workers. It's a lot of drama. That fucked my relationship up w/ my parents, especially my mom. Everything is still fucked up. I don't talk to mom or dad right now. Sometimes that's how things rolll. Family can be your worst enemy. It's fucked up because you've made it to where I am, it would be great to have them in my life. But when you grow up in a broken home seperated from your sister, mom in the courts and dad in the streets, that's not no family, man. That's why my son is growing up w/ me and will know the deal."
Aight, it took me a while to type this up, so feel free to give me my props. I know a lot of shit has already been posted, but there's sum new info that at-least I never knew...
I can't believe Game said he's probably never gunna talk to his brother again. And I wonder why he doesn't talk to his mom right. In the documentary, he said his mom was his "hero" and shit....
Well, I hope Game and his family settle their differences out soon, especially since it's Holiday season and all. Also, I don't give a fuck what ppl say about Game, u do have to admit he went through a lot of tough shit that easily could make or break sumone's life, and persevered. I think he deserves more credit and love from ppl than what he gets...
