When I began reading about The Game's disappointment with the rap community for not joining him on a track about the Sean Bell tragedy, I felt sympathetic. Finally, the Game decides to get topical and stop

Is he really surprised that no one wanted to be on a track with lines like "so shine them fuckin' lights in the back of my car/I might kill yo ass in 2000 raw?" Or "I should kill 51 cops for the 51 shots?" Not to mention, "[I'm] The Beastie Boys when I grab a fuckin' mic on the stage?"
