IN TODAYS 'THIS N!GGAH, HERE' NEWS: THE GAME SAYS HE WANTS TO WORK WITH JAY-Z....EVEN AFTER SLIGHTLY DISSING HIM ON RECORD.

I swear the things some rappers do and/or say for a little attention is utterly ridiculous. The Game has been "subliminally" insulting JAY-Z on his records - in a bizarre bid to get the hip-hop mogul to work with him. The Compton, Cali. native took shots at Jay-Z via his music on tracks like It's Okay (One Blood), after hearing a freestyle the 99 Problems star made that The Game thought was aimed at him. It turned out to be a misunderstanding, but The Game says he's glad it happened because Jay-Z has now acknowledged his presence in the rap game. And he hopes their lyrical exchange will lead to them hooking up in the studio. He says, "Even though me and (Jay-Z) don't talk or do songs, he knows. He listens. He heard the You're 38, and you're still rappin', ugh' (from It's Okay (One Blood)). He came back on Kingdom Come and I was like, 'Yeah! Jay listens to my s**t! (When Jay said) 'I used to think that rapping at 38 was ill / Till last year I grossed about 38 mill.' I was like, 'I know who he is talkin' to. I know he listens. I know his antenna's up.' Maybe one day he'll do a song with me, and then I'll stop shooting subliminals."

This n!ggah here.

THE GAME UNDER INVESTIGATION FOLLOWING SCUFFLE AT FAMILY MEMBER'S FUNERAL; MAKES PLANS TO BECOME THE NEXT DIDDY.

Rapper The Game is at the center of a police investigation after a family bust-up at his cousin's funeral last weekend (7/5/2008). The Compton, California native, real name Jayceon Taylor, reportedly angered family members after his promises to financially contribute to his first cousin's funeral were not met. Taylor's relative, Robert 'Kirky' Kirkwood tells website TMZ.com that when his sister died, the rapper volunteered to pay $7,000 - half the cost of the burial. According to reports, the rapper attended Saturday's ceremony unexpectedly and spoke at the service about family values, sparking a feud between the pair outside the church. Kirkwood then filed a police report against the rapper, accusing The Game of punching him in the face. Authorities have confirmed there was an altercation resulting over financial matters at the funeral and an investigation is in the works.

In other Game news, now dude is making plans to concentrate on becoming the next great hip-hop mogul after he retires from rap at the end of 2008. The rapper recently announced his upcoming third album would be his last, stating he plans to devote more time to his kids. But he insists he won't be turning his back on rap - he hopes to become the next Diddy or Dr. Dre. As the force behind the label Black Wall Street, The Game insists he'll become a major player as an industry bigwig. He says, "I've been spending 100 percent of my time being Game, so I haven't been able to focus on my producers and my artists, so this year I'm gonna get it crackin'...the same way Dre, Quincy Jones and Diddy do it (sic) - by being a rap mogul. There are a lot of ways to keep hip-hop alive without being an artist. I don't have to be vocal to make it happen."

Ummmm-hmmm.

PICS: THE GAME SPENDS A DAY IN THE PARK WITH HIS SONS HARLEM & KING JUSTICE.

The Game's baby boy King Justice celebrated (I really couldn't find another word to use) his first birthday on April 25th with a day at the park. I want so badly to call it a mediocre baby b-day bash but for some reason I just can't. As a matter of fact I can't even call it! Anyhoo, judging from the pics, the little fellow was in no mood for celebrating, bless his heart. I guess it really doesn't matter seeing how the kid probably doesn't even know what the hell is going on. However, The Game's oldest son, Harlem (who will be 5 next month) looked as if he had the time of his life! Check out the pictures below.

In other Game news, word around the web is that the rapper is looking to sign the dude-- (who goes by the name Glen the Barber) responsible for lullubying Suge Knight's big 6'3, 2008 pound ass into a concrete nap earlier this month...which was all caught on tape--to his Black Wall Street record label. As for if he has any rhyming skills or other musical talents to speak of is unknown. There has also been talk of a rematch between former big bully Suge and 'The Kid who Knocked Knight Out.' According to tmz.com several Las Vegas promoters -- including Jeff Beacher of Beacher's Madhouse -- have invited Suge Knight and the "Knockout Kid" to face up in a bare-knuckled cage match.

Below you'll find new behind-the-scene pics of The Game & Keyshia Cole on the set of his new video, Pain/LAX which was shot in the hood of Crenshaw last week. Pain/L.A.X. (featuring Keyshia Cole) is the second single from The Game's third and most likely final studio album, L.A.X., due in stores on July 8, 2008. According to reports, the rapper has made plans to spend his retirement time developing the artists and producers signed to his label, Black Wall Street and to also "dive head first into scripts" since he had such a good experience on the set of the movie Street Kings, which starred Forrest Whittaker and Keanu Reeves. "Everybody was real professional and respected me and I was always punctual, on time, respected everybody and didn't bring my rapping ego over to the film side," said Game. "I did my thing and they appreciated me and I appreciated them. And Street Kings movie was pretty dope" Even though Game is planning to take the acting world by storm, he doesn't plan on taking any classes. "I'm just a natural," he says. "I don't really need no classes. I want to be like the guy that never took classes and won and Oscar."

The Game's L.A.X. will feature production by Kanye West, Cool and Dre, Just Blaze and appearances by Common, Ludacris, Ne-Yo, Raekwon, Busta Rhymes, Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry.

THE GAME TURNS HIMSELF INTO JAIL TO BEGIN SERVING 60 DAY JAIL SENTENCE ON GUN CHARGE.

I'm pretty sure I told you all that rapper The Game would soon have to serve jail time on a gun possession charge he caught about a year ago, yet I'm too lazy to look it up! LOL! So I'll just cut to the chase. Dude checked himself into the Twin Towers Correctional Facility on Sunday night (March 2) to begin serving his 60 days sentence on that gun charge. The Game (real name Jayceon Taylor) pleaded no contest to a felony charge of possession of a firearm in a school zone back on February 11 stemmed from a February 24, 2007 incident during which he got into an altercation with a player on an opposing team during a basketball game at the Rita Walters Educational Learning Complex in South Los Angeles. Was initially charged with three felony charges; making a criminal threat, exhibiting a firearm in the presence of an officer, and possessing a firearm in a school zone, back in June last year, he had the first two counts dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

As a consequence of the last count, The Game was sentenced to 60 days in jail, 150 hours of community service and three years probation.

THE GAME SENTENCED TO 60 DAYS IN JAIL, 3 MONTHS OF PROBATION ON FELONY GUN CHARGES.

The Game has finally pissed off enough law officials to have his ass thrown in jail for pulling some of his most stupid-ass antics. The rapper, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, has been sentenced to 60 days in jail after pleading guilty to felony gun charges. The dumb-dummy entered his plea in a Los Angeles courthouse and a judge immediately ordered him to spend 60 days in jail and to carry out 150 hours of community service. The Game faced three counts of making criminal threats and possessing a firearm in a school zone during a fight in the middle of a basketball game last year (2007). Two charges were dropped as part of a plea agreement. The rapper, who was also placed on three years probation, has until March 3, 2008 to turn himself into authorities to begin his sentence, reports TMZ.com.

Last week, The Game claimed he planned to plead guilty to save the expense of a lengthy trial that could put him behind bars for five years. He said, "The crazy part about this is that I've had guns before in my life. But this time I didn't have a gun. Because one person said I had a gun and coaxed his homies into saying that I had a gun, I'm in a predicament where I'm asking, 'Do I want to spend another million dollars to fight this trial, so who knows what jury's gonna come in and say I'm guilty? Or do I want to save my money, go sit down for four months and accept this felony they're trying to give me for no reason?'"

Mmmmm-hmmm.

JA RULE & THE GAME TO TEAM UP ON EACH OTHER'S NEW ALBUMS

With his first new album in nearly four years, Ja Rule was expected to return with The Mirror in September, but it looks like fans will have to wait a little longer -- because it's release date has been pushed back. Now slated for sometime in November, the album's first leaked single was the Lil Wayne assisted Uh Oh, which has already leaked to the net, and according to Rolling Stone, the Rule also has a collaboration with former G-Unit soldier-turned-arch-rival The Game on a track called Sunset. The Game first reached out to Ja for his One Blood remix last year, and now Ja Rule hollered right back. "I don't think people were expecting that," Ja Rule told the magazine about linking up with the West Coast rapper. "But we got a hot record on the album." Will he take shots at 50 this time around? Afterall, many feel 50 Cent ruined Ja's career. Ja says "no." "The whole industry is so focused on beefin' with each other -- it's like the WWF of rap right now," Ja said. "I'm stepping out of the arena. I don't want to be a wrestlin' rapper. Somebody's got to come in and make it positive. You have to make records that make people feel like having a good time."

According to the rapper, his album is focused on expressing himself through feel-good music, but there is also a serious side to the album -- the album's cover being an actual mirror representing the introspective nature of the album. "This record is like my confessions, I'm shedding my skins," he says. "The mirror is your only real moment of truth. It's the place where everybody can go and be honest with themselves."

The Mirror is scheduled to for release in November 13 on Mpire/Murder Inc./ Universal Motown Records.
