The Game Disappoints, gives into MJ Hype & Hypocrisy

So one of my favorite rappers, The Game, has failed me. (Remember just a month ago I was hyping him on this blog?!) Sold out to the Jackson hype surrounding MJ's death. Didn't everyone have a bad taste in their mouth for MJ when he was accused of doing nasty things to little boys? The public has practically canonized him, as flowers, icons, relics and candlelight vigils fill every news station and blog. I am sick of all this hype. He lived as a recluse because of the way he was perceived by the public, can we not just give him a humble, honorable passage?

The Game had to get involved by getting ho' slapper Chris Brown to collaborate on a Michael Jackson tribute song. What's worse is the video. Here are the cliffnotes: The video shows a bunch of the Michael-worshipping, The Game taking a bath surrounded by candles with his clothes on, recording studio shots, and TATTOO studio shots. YES, THE GAME HAS A NEW TATTOO OF FUCKING MICHAEL JACKSON ON HIS ARM. You can see it in stages in this sucky video for this sucky song. Tattoo is at 2:15, 2:26, 3:46, and 4:25 (completed).



So is he really upset about Michael, or did he just want a good excuse to get new ink and flaunt it for attention? Fuck all this noise. I'm just going to listen to "Bang Along" and forget The Game ever did this.
