The Game Headed To Jail For Four Months

CIMG4176

The Game has decided to forego taking  felony charges to trial and will instead opt for a 4 month prison sentence. The Game received three charges for allegedly pulling out a gun during a pickup basketball game. In the upcoming debt issue of, “Monsta Magazine,” The Game states:

“The crazy part about this is that I’ve had guns before in my life.  But this time I didn’t have a gun. And 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?”

I think I would pay the money and avoid any jail time. Maybe this is promo for the album…

i like game, except for the excessive name dropping, but this is proof that he’s not on top of his bi…look at the list of top earners - 50 made $33M last year, that’s almost 3 mil a month. game’s a long way from being 50 business wise, but still he’s got his music and his shoes and he’s been in movies. if he made 8% of what 50 makes, that be $250K a month, times 4 months and you have your million in legal costs. he should go shoot a low budget movie in 4 months or do an album…also, 4 months for no shots being fired, no one injured, etc. seems like a bad deal

sorry i dont have 4months of my life to spend in jail.
see a white man woulda paid up quietly
black people think jail is a cake walk, and are proud to go
fuck the fact that music aint making money, and when his next album drop anything short of a jailhouse riot wont move him any units.
so whats his plan to maintain his lifestyle after music
dumb niggas, always wanna go to jail, need sumthin to rap about.
that nigga’s a fraud, i’ve felt that since day 1

120 days aint that bad, jails in CA are super over populated and he is a celeb so he going straight to PC. As long as no big race riot pop off he should be fine. Nigga go get back in straight, get some time to write lol.

Honestly, i’d spend the cheese to keep my freedom but it may help is albums sales. I know dude who pressed charges aint safe in the streets to this day though.

the game made the right choice, hes saving a lot of money. 4 months is nothing, and he might get out early. 4 MONTHS!!!, come on now realtalk, you sound like a female.

Broadway wrote on February 6th, 2008 at 4:30 pm

Yall Fuckin Stupid, it wouldn’t cost His ass 1 mil to fight the case. Not this he said she said shit, the trial would been over in 1 day. Game is just posing, if he had the money he would defenitely fought that shit and probably win. All that money he claim to have, 1 mil should be nutting.

14.
Young Trump wrote on February 6th, 2008 at 4:52 pm

You’re right about him doing it for the press/ promo. Game is such a poser its not even funny. Now hes gonna make 4 new songs about how hard it was serving 4 months and the same old bullshit he usually raps about. Fuck the game.

15.
vigorous wrote on February 6th, 2008 at 5:04 pm

what sucks about the justice system is that when you go to trial it’s a lose lose situation. even if you’re innocent you have to spend money jus to defend yourself which is garbage. so if a BITCH wakes up one day and decides to fabricate a story that I raped her i’d have to spend money out of my pocket, which i work for day in and day out jus to prove to people it never happen

Life is fucked up.

T-Cup wrote on February 6th, 2008 at 6:09 pm

What BLACK man is WILLING to go to jail for a crime he did NOT commit?

Game is a DUMBASS motherfucker!!…He has the money to maintain his freedom and he would rather go to jail…FOR A CRIME HE DID NOT COMMITT???? Make sense to you?? Cause it don’t to me!

I don’t give a fuck if its 4 months or not. A lot can happen in 4 months. It only takes one minute in there for some dumb motherfucker who doing some serious time to say “I wanna be famous too” and shank his ass.

WaTTs Craaakkin wrote on February 6th, 2008 at 6:37 pm

The thing yall dont understand is..dude been already payed money a couple of times. The whole situation doesnt look good. Cuz dude supposedly got witnesses, then they claimed a police officer saw him with a gun (which of course could be a lie) and shit like dat. So its like him throwin 1 million knowin he just gonna lose it. And lol at ppl sayin he dont have money, the nigga made the last top earners list last time they did it and its not like dude is sellin 100k every album, think about endoursments, shoes, clothes, albums, g-unot thing, tours so he’s cakin. But its like sayin throw away 1 million, instead of savin it for your son/family etc. and do the time, Cuz like i said, the case does not look good for him either way so it would be unecessary for him to cash in.

The streets are whisperin though about them dudes snitchin on mines.

#13..ARE U STUPID???!! This shits been goin on since February last year and he’ve payed them a couple of times already, not 1 million but still. How the fuck do u expect the shit to just be over in 1 day if its been goin on since February last year?

Damn I hate this sucker nigga’ I’ll try to chill on the whole g-unit beef thing but to be truthful that shit still bugs me. How you gonna scram g-unit all over records and mixtapes but when your crew got beef you act like you ain’t gotta ride. It was Fat joe and Jadakiss aka peons. I am fans of them both but neither of those niggas is bosses and neither of them have ever really learned to play the game. Jada been around since ‘95 he still hoping labels like lilly pads Something about this bitch nigga throwing up the roc sickens me. Ok Joey crack spit that gully gansta guntalk shit that I like but this nigga Failed himself, remy ma, armegedon, cuban linx, etc, etc. Like Nas that nigga could not handle someone else getting their shine-only reason he rode with Pun he had no choice-The punisher had that multi-platinium embaress you on your own track type flow

Blaxdon wrote on February 6th, 2008 at 8:51 pm

And all Joey could do was hold on and have that nigga pun ghostwrite his shit. Notice how as soon as he hooked up with pun BAM! his first gold record don cartegena. I mean but this nigga game he from Cali. Land of the gang culture. When ya mans is about to ride you don’t say “I’m with you guys usually but I happen to admire his work so I can’t ride” No you unloyal backstabbing mu’fucker you don’t ask questions You just fuckin’ ride. That nigga dissed 50 which is one thing (because lets face it ain’t nobody like to see that nigga keep winning) I mean to dis the man that wrote 3-4 hits on your most successful album. Then try to run up on him at some radio station and then act surprise and hurt when ya’ man gets shot rollin’ up on the unit. But to disrespect the DR……. This bitch ass nigga

Blaxdon wrote on February 6th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

uhh- first off Watt’s go suck a diseased dick-we both know it won’t be your first time………anyway where was I…. Do you remember when Game was promoting his second album and he lied for months about working with Dre on his album meanwhile 50 was like “that’s bullshit Dre not only dropped him from the label but doesn’t even talk to that sucker-nigga anymore”…People din’t know who to believe even though One guy never lies and the other has shown to be full of shit (C’mon we all know that stupid nigga game had that heater on him-or at least nearby)-n That nigga was lying to the press, fans, media, shit his fucking self. When the truth came out what happened? Dre came out of the studio of his ivory Tower

RealTalk wrote on February 6th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

yo how the fuck r u gonna say that this is promo???? u think the trial is fake??? u think hes not really goin to jail??? who in the fuck would want to go to jail for 4 months just to promote a fuckin album???

27.
Blaxdon wrote on February 6th, 2008 at 9:10 pm

and he said (not word for word but what he meant) “The stupid nigga Game started acting up like he was the only rapper ever to have a hit album. I told him to chill with that bullshit it’s fucking up my money and to be fair I told curtis the same thing.( so what happens?- Curtis a proven leader over and over again remembers the hand that fed him, swallowed his pride and made peace with Game for the whole world to see. And what did game do acted like shit was cool for a second than started acting up again or another way to look at it told Dre to go fuck himself) So Dre says all right tough guy You gets no more love. (kicks him off Aftermath,doesn’t give no type of dre beats aka Certified hits, won’t even take that niggas phone call. So with a mediorce album and shrinking fanbase Game hits the media circuit apologizing to Dre everywhere he goes ( Like a sucka)

Blaxdon wrote on February 6th, 2008 at 9:17 pm

Okay fair enough He’s a rapstar and he’s playing a game of pick up b-ball. Game is obviously a skilled player having played all through highschool I mean we know he wasn’t banging. Some stupid nigga is mad that Game is a rich/famous rapper and he ain’t. So he pops off at the mouth like hateful niggaz tend to do, and Game believing it’s still ‘04 goes to his gym bag pulls the toaster to let these bitch niggaz know. Unfortunatly he forgets that he is a famous rapstar and then has the nerve to be surprised that these once rowdy shit talking niggaz have turned into defendants, probably got some quiet settlement money and still got to see this stupid nigga catch a l in the system.

for starters It should not cause anyone a million dollars to defend a he/she said circumstancial case as weak as this. unless the have a video/audio footage or some hard evidence like the weapon with finger print or gun powder residue on his finger it is an even harder case to prosecute regardless of the witnesses or his pyriors. this bitch needs to dump his high profile attorney, and get with a young hungry attorney wishing to make a name for himmself who will work for peanuts, and this case could easily go in his favor. going to jail for 4months without even trying to prove your innocence, even if you are guity is straight STUPID AND IGNORANCE. Kids it’s NOT cool to go to jail like these silly rappers are potrating NOT EVEN FOR A DAY. Game you got a son who looks up to you grow the fuck up! cus you not going to be a silly rapper forever duke! be a grown ass man MC like nas, jay, Ra, Kane, G-rap the list goes on. 1

And Why is Game going to have to spend 4 months in the Pen,Is it A.)-He is not Paris Hilton B.) This frontin’ as Nigga is too broke to beat the case C.) He no longer has access to 50’s/dre,Em’s legal team. The answer I’m sure you have all guessed is D all of the above. See for those in the know it is no surprise that 50 goons be popping of like they ain’t never heard of police. They all got guns( with permits), and lawyers on speed dial. Hotel parking lots,clubs, radio stations, foreign countries, After parties..you can google it if you like them g-unit niggaz pop-off. This is whether they are pistol whipping some stupid hater, or lying manager. Shooting (back mind you shooting back) at some niggaz who swear they hard or stabbing some disrepectful nigga in the lung on Live TV with a butter knife. It’s nothing they do it. Why?

Beacuse they know for the most part (sorry olivia) if you stay true to Fif he will do the same to you that includes covering your ass with the best defense money can buy in turn covering his own ass( And I don’t know if you guys have heard he has got a lot of money). Sorry the Game is a sucka, a bitch, a disloyal pissat. The only reason he still gets love on the west is because as fucked up as it sounds they don’t have too much to choose from so they prop this weak nigga on a pedestal even tough he continously shows why he is not the one for the west. Talking about “I’mma do one more album then retire” He better start saving that touring money that’s all I know- that’s 4 months less of touring, acting roles, musical features (if anyone invites him ) etc.etc he’s going to lose out on because his money ain’t strong enough to fight a case about he say she say?!! Man diddy fights them shits on the daily. Shit you don’t think the hip hop police want Fifty, but his money is too long, he’s making too many people money for him to get touched all I’m saying is Game was once under that umbrella

Whatt’s Crakin’ no disrespect because I understand an opinion is like an asshole everybody got one but’ yous’a a stupid nigga.

gmoney wrote on February 6th, 2008 at 10:12 pm

He’s an idiot if he think he’s fooling anyone. It aint about the lawyers fees. He’s afraid he might have to do several years if he blows trial. If your making money with your freedom then all monies will stop coming in until your released. So he’ll actually loose more than a mil.

The King wrote on February 6th, 2008 at 10:56 pm

so correct me if i’m wrong
but wasnt 1 of the main bragging rights to being a boss
is to make cases go away
jay,puff, 50,snoop they all brag about how they threw some money at they jew lawyers and since they money is long that jew lawyer did what he do.

so i guess either
a- the game money aint long enuff to throw, so all the shit he raps and brags about isnt real
b- the game aint a boss like he claims to be
c- he realizes that gangsta rappers are goin out of style and the rapper well has run dry so its time to save money.

saving money aint gangsta
i’ma call this nigga gangstalicious from now on

Yedigggg wrote on February 7th, 2008 at 12:27 am

The nigga is doin the right thing man. Cop out to the 4 month bid, instead of risking more time by taking it to a probably predominately white jury. It’s not about him spending a million dollars to beat the case, it’s about him spending a million for more lawyers to TRY and beat it. If the nigga got proven guilty, he probably woulda got like 3-4 years on a bullshit gun charge. So f*ck it, do the 4 months, come home and probably do some f*ckin community service, instead of a 4 year bid if he lost trial. I thought u was a street nigga RealTalk, u should know how this goes, smh.

This is fucked up because I was in the same position…plead to a fucking felony or risk going to trial and losing and being in jail before my daughter was born. Now I got a felony and I can;t even drive a Taxi Cab (but foreiners with pink and green cards can). They tried to get to set people up and all that shit. If I had to choose again…I would have gotten a better lawyer>>>LMAO. Things are what they are….50 is punishing niggaz…for being disloyal…same shit is gonna happen to Young Buck(sad to say). Jay Z punishing niggaz too…(Freeway and Beenie Sigel flops) I won’t even get into why Jay z punishing them niggaz. Same shit will eventually happen to Jim Jones and Juelz Santana. Cam’ron almost weathered the 50 cent onslaught but these two coons jumped ship….but I digress. I have respect for GAME for standing up to 50..but respect always comes with a cost. I suggest a good read for people on this board…SuN Tzu’s “Art of War” as well as Robert Greens’ 48 Laws of Power, as well as The Problem Book by Clarence 13X.
