Apparently the album is listed as being on Geffen and not on Aftermath. There are also supposed to be different versions with different cover art, bonus CDs etc.

But 15th and Shake have been pretty much set in stone now.

They are, in fact a few of The Game's releases have been on Geffen and some on Interscope. The delux editions and singles and first album where on Geffen with the Aftermath imprint i think. Geffen are pretty much Interscope but seperate entities with thier own rosters under the same roof.

Multi-platinum Grammy nominated rapper Game (Jayceon Taylor) is set to release his highly anticipated R.E.D. Album on June 15th. The album will be executive produced by Game and Pharrell Williams who jumped at the opportunity to collaborate. “Game is good kid…and I’m excited for the world to hear the many facets of his character…what’s even crazier is that as a fan, I cannot believe I am actually producing songs on the same album as Dr. Dre. Humbling, man…I owe Game for that one. His album is gonna be a problem,” states Pharrell.

Leading off the R.E.D. Album will be the Pharrell produced street anthem It Must Be Me, a West Coast influenced trunk rattler that features Game spitting venomous lyrics reminiscent of an early, I got something to prove, Ice Cube. Following will be the Justin Timberlake assisted Ain’t No Doubt About It where the two J.T.’s sing and rap over a radio hit that will be blasting out of car windows and club speakers this spring. “I never thought I would have the chance to work with Justin, but to come up with a smash like we did, it’s only fitting,” Game asserts.

In addition to working closely with Pharrell on the project, super producer Dr. Dre is back to lend his hands and voice, producing and rapping on the R.E.D. Album. And Game couldn’t be more thrilled to work with his mentor again.
“Dre is a hip hop legend and one of the reasons I’m making music. To be working so closely with him again…man, I don’t even have words to describe it.” Game is now ready to let the world hear the R.E.D. Album saying it’s shaping up to be the biggest of his career, “my two favorite producers are helping me with the direction of this album, I couldn’t be in a better position."

Game absolutely lost his **** a few years ago when he recorded "300 Bars," an 18-minute epic that featured him hating on damn near every MC who had wronged him. Somehow, it didn't drag at all, perhaps a testament to his ability to remain entertaining amongst endless name-drops and disses. It also helped that the beat switched from one instrumental to the next regularly. On "400 Bars," though, Game spits for 20 minutes over the killer beat Just Blaze made for Jay Electronica's epic "Exhibit C." And like "300 Bars," Game keeps you listening throughout his endless spree of braggadocio, gangsta posturing, and angst.

West Coast prodgigy The Game has finally released his highly anticipated song "400 Bars". After months of talking about and hyping the song it finally leaked. The follow up to his past songs 300 Bars, 200 Bars and 100 Bars songs. He literaly goes for 400 bars in this masterpiece song lasting over 20 minutes. I guess when he gets to 800 bars it will be the length of a whole cd.

Game sent out a tweet last night stating he pulled an all nighter trying to finish the track. "just pulled a 24 hr session tryna finish "400 bars" ... DaMN! **** knocked the wind out a n***a" Game tweeted. He mentions 400 bars is off of his new mixtape called "The Red Room" hosted by DJ Drama which is an appetizer before his retail album "The R.E.D. Album" drops.

Game mentioned 400 bars would be on the DJ Drama mixtape last month when discussing the Red Room.
But before the album there will be a mixtape with DJ Drama, Red Everything. Red Everything mixtape -- it's a bunch of tracks I did specifically for Drama. They're full songs mixed with a few freestyles. I'm trying to finish up '400 Bars' and get it on there. Ain't nobody piss me off that much. But even if that ain't on there, the mixtape is still gonna be crazy.

Uh oh ... Game is back again.

Nearly five years after dropping the scathing 15-minute G-Unit diss track "300 Bars and Runnin'," off the now-classic You Know What It Is Vol. 3 mixtape, the Compton rapper is back with the next best thing: "400 Bars".

Game premiered "400 Bars" Thursday (April 15) and has the Internet going nuts once again, as he freestyles for 20 minutes over Jay Electronica's "Exhibit C" instrumental.

The track is the first leak off his upcoming mixtape with DJ Drama, called The Red Room.

There's no date yet, but since Game announced a June release date for his upcoming fourth studio LP The R.E.D. Album, the mixtape is expected to drop very soon.

The R.E.D. Album is due June 15th.

Just heard a song with @ihategame and @snoopdogg produced & narrated by DR DRE that sounds like it shoulda been on THE CHRONIC!! #REDalbum

So, as you can see I took the day off on the rumors. I need it with all my hard, work! Plus, there didn't seem to be a lot going on, except Eminem putting out Recovery. BUT, I HAVE TO ASK YOU...The Game is dissing the mess out of 50 Cent and G-Unit on this new 400 Bars. Now, clearly Dr. Dre is messing with The Game on Detox. 50 Cent isn't. Honestly, I don't think Game would release this without Dre's OK. Remember Game went against Dre in the first place and it messed up their relationship. Eminem's new album is called Recovery and Dr. Dre is noticeably absent from the list of producers on the press release. On the other side Dr. Dre has also re-aligned with Ice Cube, who is in fine form as an elder MC. WOW!!!

There there are all the other rappers coming up in the West Coast game. I'm not going to specify but...I will, Murs, Glasses, Jay Rock, Mistah Fab, U-N-I, Crooked I and a bunch of others. First question: is the WEST BACK LIKE THE 90's?????

game really proved on 400 bars he is a muppet

shows signs of how desperate game is

please dont think im sticking up for gunit as i think 50 fell the fook off just as i feel game has but besides lloyd banks who is dropping quailty mixtapes again and again aswell as an album hfm2 which has a bigger buzz than red and yes it does pretty :eek: judging by the success of banks 1st single.

come on now you give me proof that gunit constantly talk about game? i can give you proof and a ton of tracks where game mentions gunit

dre probally gave game permission to diss 50 but dre also produced a track called so disrespectful where 50 dissed game, as long as it sounds hot dre dont care.

dre came out a few months back sayin he's trying to get both game and 50 on good terms again

With his fourth studio album, The R.E.D. Album, dropping this summer, Game is packing serious heat. The Compton rapper played it mellow, chopping it up with VIBE about his new project, the new West, Shyne and the return of the D.R.E.


VIBE: What was the difference between working with Dr. Dre on the first album [The Documentary] versus this one?

Game: I’m a lot more polished. I think that I’m close to my prime, as far as my lyrical content… just the development of my pen alone. And then Dre, you know, we’re both a little older and a little wiser. Now it’s not like polishing off the rookie, its like he gets in he knows what to do and I know what to do and he knows me and we just gel. What comes out is nothing short of classic.

Compare that to the Pharrell experience.

We worked for 40 days and 40 nights. Long hard nights, until the morning. Mind you, Pharrell leaves the studio at 10 [p.m.], that’s his norm. But working with me, you don’t leave til’ the sun comes up. We grinded it out and we made smashes, man.

If you were to put a tour together right now to support this record, who would be on it?

I think Dre's talking about a tour, so that would be dope. And me and Pharrell talked about going on a tour together, which would also be dope. So I think just the benefit of getting up on stage with new music for my fans, it don’t really matter who I go out with. I can go out by myself and get the job done all the same. I just cant wait to grab the mic hit the stage and hear those cheers again.

Talk to us about working on that Detox album.

I’ll let you know that right now it's definitely, definitely going to come, and Dre’s been working harder than ever. Everybody’s been in and out the studio. I’ve been in grinding with him, I’m going back in tomorrow to actually work some more, and get it to where we can all come to that happy medium where we're like. 'Damn, we finally got Detox and man it's crazy.' I can definitely guarantee you that however long he makes us wait—he can push it back for eight more years and it’ll just be that much bigger, man—'cause Dre’s not gonna put it out until it's 100 percent the idea he had when he started, and hopefully he picked the dates. I don’t pick the dates but I just can tell you I’ve been working on it.

You talked to Shyne while he was incarcerated, and he gave you some advice. Have you had a chance to talk to him since he’s been released?

I had a chance to talk to him real closely since he got out, not about music at all, mostly just about his head and standing up and just checking up on how he’s doing. He’s just a good friend of mine, sort of like a brother to me in hip-hop and, you know, doing all that time, everybody expected him to just come out and be like the old Shyne, but it's gonna take a while. I’m sure he’s rough around the edges. It’s kinda like if Kobe just decides to sit it down, and you come back out your first three, it's probably gonna be an airball, you know? You just gotta give him a little room, a little space, let him breathe and I’m sure you’ll get the old Shyne back.

He kinda came of left field with that 50 Cent diss.

That’s him man, and I’m glad he can take that 50 Cent beef with him. I’m slowly but surely phasing it out, and I might poke a little fun here and there but for the most part I’m over it.

How do you feel about the new artists out West?

I think it's just the evolution of the West. Everybody likes to talk about the “New West” and you sort of taint those young guys when you tab them like that. You gotta give them room to breathe and let them do their thing. The most prominent out of all the new ones, I think, is probably Nipsey [Hussle] meaning that he’s gotten around the world faster than the others, and everybody else is still regional, everybody else is still on the uprise.

Okay, let's talk about basketball. I know you’re a gamer, not just a rec player.

I really play man I still go out there 3-4 days a week and shoot it out with my boys. You know we get it on Sundays with the offseason NBA players. Now that it’s the playoffs, players from the teams that didn’t make it are available to hoop with us. A couple of cats out there from the Clippers and—

You and Baron Davis grew up together, right?

Yeah me and Baron grew up together, me and Gilbert [Arenas] grew up together. Shout out to my boy Gilbert in the halfway house doing his time for the mistake that he made, but he’s gonna get back out and ball on them next year. I’ve been talking to him and we're gonna send him some music so he can hold his head while he’s uptown and yeah we get it in on the court, and anybody can come on out.

What do you think about Kobe Bryant and the Lakers this year?

We good. I think I could see a Denver or maybe a Dallas getting a game on us, but everybody else we going straight through. We going straight through to the championship, and I think we might catch LeBron [James] this year, and that would be beautiful, 'cause everyone wants to see Kobe and LeBron this year. Everybody wants to see that, and you know we're gonna win that. Ain’t got no beef with LeBron, he’s a monster, but that Kobe, man, he’s that Black Mamba not to be played with. - Jamal Munnerlyn

XXLMag.com is proud to present Game’s highly anticipated new mixtape, The Red Room.

The 20-track disc, hosted by DJ Skee, features a star-studded guest list, including Fabolous, Jadakiss, Jim Jones, Lil Wayne, Birdman, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, Bizzy Bone, Hurricane Chris, and Nipsey Hussle, among others.

When asked how he hooked up with the West Coast rapper for the tape, Skee said, ”I hit Game and told him I liked ‘400 Bars’ but thought I could do something crazier with it. He sent me the acapella and asked if I could come by the studio that night to do a new project with him and I told him I was in. He played me some stuff he already had, and then we went in one night and recorded a bunch of new stuff, and the rest is history. I actually had to finish it all on the road and put the finishing touches on between the plane and in a limo from Sacramento to the Bay and upload from my slowww hotel internet connection!”

The Red Room is just an appetizer to Game’s fourth solo album, the R.E.D. Album. Co-executive produced by Pharrell and Dr. Dre, the LP, is set to drop on June 29 on Aftermath. - Elan Mancini
