The Black Chuck Dre-ylor?

He might want to trade those in for stunnas.

I had the feeling that "Tell Me When To Go" had gotten pretty popular in Southern California, just based on the airplay it gets on San Diego radio stations that make sure only to play really popular songs. But, it turns out that The Game himself has jumped on the yellow bus, too. He went right ahead and made a remix to the Bay's current anthem.

I was coming around on The Game lately (no homo), with all his G-Unot disses. I actually thought those were pretty good. I thought Game was being less of a dickrider. Well this kinda proves that theory wrong. The Bay Area's collective dick gets seriously ridden on this track (no homo!).

Well, you can get annoyed with stuff like this, or you can accept it as part of the growing popularity of Bay Area rap. I mean, this is what's supposed to happen when a local scene blows up, right? People are gonna be picking up on the style and the slang. On a side note, if the scene does get big, I personally look forward to hearing Juelz imitate Bay rappers on his mixtapes, and I also want to hear Jim Jones make some embarrassing attempts at "hyphy" music (if he's still with the Dips...). Seriously though, I really like the Diplomats. Back to the point, other rappers, and other people, are going to be getting into the scene, and they might get it wrong. If you want to be an asshole about it, we can be snobs and point out where they go wrong.

Game doesn't make it hard to do that in this song. Listen to him say "hyphy". Funny, right? He also appears to be somewhat confused by the concept of "ghost-riding". He says something about "ghost riding your bitch", which one can only assume is equivalent to dry-humping, which is ghey. Also, he has this line "LA is back, which means the Bay is back". I don't really need to explain his mistake there. And be careful when Game ends his verse, because you might hurt your toes. Why's that? Cause he drops the shit out of Mac Dre's name. I think that was cheap of him. See, now I thought that Game was done there. I was wrong! Wait for the call and response at the end, it's priceless. He needs to turn his vocals the fuck DOWN! He also seems to be unclear on the concept of the thizz face (he only yells "thizz"). Someone should show him that one website. And if he's into that site, he should check out www.thizzface.com. It's pretty much the same thing, but lower rent.

Enough Game-bashing for now, cause there's another "Tell Me When To Go" Remix out there. Trackademics, a Bay producer who you've probably heard of reworked the beat to the song. It's pretty out there.

It's nothing that The Water or Keak would ever rap over normally, but it goes.

While you're at it check out my homey Mac Jay's new blog Yay Mecca. Given that a couple of Bay blogs seem to have gone "dormant", it's nice to see some new ones popping up.
