Compton rapper the Game is just OK. His rapping skills are terribly average, but his last record, Doctor’s Advocate is totally listenable, mostly for its solid production and the Game’s hilariously insecure, self-contradictory lyrics. (This will be expounded upon in next week’s issue of the Merc, as the Game is coming to the Roseland on Jan 28). But did you know that in addition to being a former male stripper, “JT” was once a contestant on the horrible TV show, Change of Heart? When watching this, please bear in mind that this is now the dude with facial tattoos who calls himself the heir apparent to Eazy-E and Dr. Dre’s Cali throne. Our boy doesn’t come off too well here, as his girlfriend claims: “All he do is smother me. Or he cries like a baby.” (Game doesn’t deny.) Then it also comes out that he “can’t get no loving in public” and that he has a drawer full of candy in his bedroom. Or at least, he did, until his girlfriend “stole” it all.
