While discussing his upcoming album with Carson Daly, The Game suggested that his label should release the album a week earlier so he wouldn’t have to go head-to-head with Miley Cyrus’ golden showers for the top spot on July 22. Ironically, his album was allegedly pushed back so that it wouldn’t have to debut alongside Nas’ Officially Untitled Album, which drops July 15. The Game’s previous album, Doctor’s Advocate, did sell slightly more in its first week than Nas’ Hip-Hop Is Dead, but Nas’ album-title drama has provided him with considerably more hype than the Game, who is still pushing his “More Songs About Rappers And Shoes” shtick. Will he succeed in getting Jimmy Iovine to push up the date and provide us with a weak-ass sequel to the 50/Kanye battle? [The Rap-Up]
