ITS NOW ON JULY 8TH 2008 CONFIRMED BY INTERSCOPE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Micahkanchan (talk • contribs) 00:57, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is 50% fictional, only half the songs on here are realistically going to end up on the L.A.X. that will come out on 6-24-08. Blood Brothers was on a mix tape, scratch that off that track list right away. Street Ryders would be there and would be dope, also the "You Owe Me" track feat. Alicia Keys and produced by Quincy Jones is something that sounds historical. Game could change hip-hop/west-coast/gangsta rap for the better with this one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Armen323 (talk • contribs) 05:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You know thats probably Quincy Jones III right? Not Quincy Jones the legendary producer who worked with Michael Jackson. So it wouldn't be historical. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siwhat (talk • contribs) 19:57, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

a Leaked Track called Nigga Wit A Attitude and it was labeld as L.A.X. track, please needs confirmation Silver mask cube (talk) 11:57, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Dre Confirmed?

I know the source says he is confirmed, but since neither he nor Aftermath have confirmed it, should it say he's confirmed? Or possibly have it say something like "Game has expressed interest in Dr. Dre, but no word has come back"? Just a thought. (I'm probably wrong.) --J p G r B 01:29, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The wording's fine. Game's only claiming Dre will produce (with no word from Aftermath yet). It's doubtful whether it's true because he said the same thing for his last album. Spellcast (talk) 11:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the articcle needs to be changed apparently is being called the d.o.c. the diary of compton again: [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tanv91 (talk • contribs) 11:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

in an allhiphop.com article posted on april 17th it says that dr.dre has not worked with the Game on the album...so its doubtful that he will be on the album. Scoffer3 (talk) 01:31, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

D.O.C.

Just adding correct link to info on bws Europe.[2]--Rebel Without a Pause (talk) 04:01, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

lol I didn't know there was such thing as a "reliable rumor". It's probably best to wait til it's properly confirmed. Spellcast (talk) 15:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

if anyone watched the wednesday january 23 episode of Rap City on BET, Q45 said that the Games new album is called "The D.O.C." which is short for The Diary Of Compton. Darkneonflame (talk) 00:21, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nu Jerzy Devil has confirmed in 2 interviews that it will be called L.A.X. —Bruce Wayne of the Rap Game (talk) 20:56, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What does L.A.X. stand for??? Duder999 (talk) 19:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's an airport. —Bruce Wayne of the Rap Game (talk) 00:05, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It means Los Angeles Exit

It means Los Angeles Times (L.A.X) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Armen323 (talk • contribs) 19:29, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Big Dreams

Cool & Dre announced on their myspace that they are debuting The Games first single at 12 A.M. on March 15th. I think that a page should be created for Big Dreams since it's the first single from the album. Thanks. volumesoxxs 04:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually you should remove it because it's not a single...it's actually a street record/from a mixtape believe it or not. I think it's the best rap song of 08 so far and it's only on a mixtape. Game said "Upon my release I went directly to the studio with producers Cool & Dre and recorded several records including my street record 'Big Dreams.' Thank you to all my fans as well for the support." However from all the hype on this record it just might end up on the album. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Armen323 (talk • contribs) 22:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it is a single go to http://hiphopdx.com. They've officially confirmed as per game has too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.67.72.55 (talk) 19:06, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yup it's official Game stated on his myspace, it's the first single from L.A.X. Probably should get a page on this song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Armen323 (talk • contribs) 01:35, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm starting to think that Big Dreams is not a single off LAX... I havent seen anything about it really. Duder999 (talk) 16:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics.

In the interview stating the two new songs produced by Cool & Dre, it shows some of Game's lyrics. And I know like with the Curtis album, they were added later, but I wasn't sure if we could add them now? --J p G r B 03:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Release date.

Release DAte

GAME Confirmed the albums release date. It is June 24 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Micahkanchan (talk • contribs) 00:37, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the source? --J p G r B 01:02, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.6596/title.the-games-l-a-x-releasing-on-june-24th This will not be pushed back like the Dr.'s Advocate went from June to November because he already took out the street single. Expect it to be out and ready on June, 24...I predict 750,000 first week sales. Over all maybe 5 mil worldwide like the Documentary. If the album was released in 1998, this would sell 10 mil but with all the hacking and leaking album sales have suffered. I predict this to be the best selling hip=hop album of 08...over 50's album, Nas' album and even the Detox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Armen323 (talk • contribs) 18:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC) TO JpGrB|J: i OBVIOUDLY MEANT HIS MYSPACE DUMBASS —Preceding unsigned comment added by Micahkanchan (talk • contribs) 00:13, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image.

Is this the confirmed image? To me, it looks fake. --J p G r B 15:55, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ya whoever put that image up should have a refence for it or it will be removed. Duder999 (talk) 16:02, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Krayzie Bone & Ne-Yo Song

The Game DID record a song with Krayzie Bone & Ne-Yo for this album. Most likely "Good Old Days" cause Ne-Yo is rumored to be on that track. The source is www.btnhboard.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.197.53.224 (talk) 01:06, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Singles

So i've looked around a little bit and its pretty obvious Big Dreams is not a single off of LAX. But can someone find out if the single with keisha cole is called "Pain" or "Game's Pain" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Duder999 (talk • contribs) 16:29, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, according to "DuBCNN", it's called "Pain", as that's where I downloaded it from. Yet in the picture given, it says "Game's Pain", and, if I'm not mistaken, I was told that it's the official CD release. I would go with the CD release, but I'm not 100% sure. --J p G r B 17:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)And 911 Is A Joke (Cop Killa) is already released.[reply]

Cover

That cover that is up right now is fake. It won't be the offical L.A.X. cover. SE KinG (talk) 21:07, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right and you're wrong. the background & tittle card that you see is real but the photo of game is false, it came from xxl magizine. more than likely it will be him and his son sitting on tires like his previous covers. the record label is keeping it secret
