A few months ago hip hop heads were pleased to see the
reunion of 50 Cent and the G-Unit, but one thing or should I say one person was
missing. Los Angeles rapper The Game may
have missed out on one of the many reunions in hip hop music this year, however
The Game doesn’t need a team. Although,
he does recruit some of hip hop’s heavy hitters for his latest track entitled
“Don’t Shoot”. The motivation behind
this track was to shed light on the unjust society we live in. For this proactive track The Game grabbed
Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Diddy, Fabolous, Wale, DJ Khaled, Swizz Beatz, Yo Gotti,
Currensy, Problem, King Pharaoh, and TGT.
African-Americans are losing their lives to the same hands
of those paid to protect and serve us. Where
they do that at? The answer
is…everywhere. This is a problem
folks. Racism is definitely alive and
doing very well. This is nothing new, but
it’s time for the majority to stop thinking that they’re better than the
minority and realize that together we can all progress. Until then we are all
just running in place.
"The issues in Ferguson really hit home for me, and I
feel compelled to use my musical platform to address this," The Game told Rolling
Stone. With all of the recent issues
of police brutality and injustice it’s great to see these black men band
together to take a stand. This track in
my opinion is this generation’s version of the 1989 hit “Self-Destruction”.
Listen below to the new track “Don’t Shoot” by The Game
featuring Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Diddy, Fabolous, Wale, DJ Khaled, Swizz Beatz,
Yo Gotti, Currensy, Problem, King Pharaoh, and TGT.
