The Game’s The Documentary 2, which was announced as a double-disc with 38 songs, is almost here.
In the beginning of September, The Game shared the tracklist for the first disc that included guest appearances from Q-Tip, Kendrick Lamar, Ice Cube, and many more big names. While The Game hasn’t shared who will be on the second disc yet, he did reveal to Mass Appeal earlier this week a collaboration with Nas. It’s called “Ghetto” and features production by Will.i.am.
“It’s me and Nas going back and forth the way The Game and Nas do,” The Game says at about the 5:00 mark. “Every time I do a record with Nas, I feel blessed. I feel like I got blessed by a real rap God.”
He explains the concept of “Ghetto" and how it is specifically targeted to the youth in America.
“It’s Nas talking about things that go on in Siberia and Africa and L.A. and New York. And I’m talking about things go on in New York that I’ve noticed," he says. "We go back and forth just talking about sort of situations that render the youth of America. Not black or white—just the youth [that] renders us helpless. Will.i.am produced the record, and the beat changes a little bit and it’s just dope. It’s like six minutes long, but it’s a classic record.”
In Mass Appeal’s in depth conversation, they also touch on Straight Outta Compton, his friendship with Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, his opinion on Drake vs. Meek Mill and more. Also, during the screening of The Making of The Documentary 2, there’s a scene where The Game raps a hilarious line about Rihanna. To find out what he said, just watch the rest of the interview clips below.
