Game Sets A REAL Release Date for "R.E.D." Album...We Hope!

Game has had some problems with securing a release date for his upcoming fourth studio album. With the success of LAX, it seemed that the momentum would easily translate to a quick release in 2009, and with a December 2009 date set, Game seemed imminent with new material. Then the story goes incredibly sour.

The release date was pushed back one week here, one week there, two months here, four months there, and before you knew it, the long-awaited R.E.D. Album scheduled for a 2009 release entered 2011 with no firm date yet. But lo and behold, we have a date and, according to Game's twitter, it is official and "like a fat girl..... it won't move."

The Game's "Red Nation" Music Video Banned

It appears the music video for The Game's "Red Nation" has been banned on MTV and BET. Tweeting the drama today, the LA-based emcee said, "Thank you BET & MTV for banning my #Rednation video. Sincerely, @thegame." This comes after the rapper told Billboard last week that his video for the Lil Wayne assisted that the video is "pandemonium" and described it "like 'Mad Max' mixed with Nas' 'One Mic' video, where there's riots going on in the background."

The reasoning behind the video ban is unknown at this point, but his "One Blood" video was originally banned before being permitted for television plays after its popularity over the internet. It will be interesting to see how this plays out and exactly what the video looks like. Check out the tweets below:
