• In July, "L.A.X." is to be released and it will be the third album from The Game, born Jayceon Taylor. The Game recently caught up with SOHH to talk about his retirement and 50 Cent.

    The Compton MC recently put out a single titled "911 Is A Joke" in response to the Sean Bell verdict and he made it available through his new online platform ThisIzGame.com. Game is known for his constant conflict with his former associate 50 Cent but he can admit when 50 makes a smart move.

    He admits that he was impressed with 50's new website ThisIs50.com and that led him to creating his own site, the new ThisIzGame.com. "I wanted to create a website and I wanted to use that name because I thought what 50 did was pretty creative," said Game.

    "I think that Garth Brooks should have ThisIsGarthBrooks.com and maybe Oprah should have ThisIsOprah.com because we are who we are. If you're looking at me, this is Game so [put] dot com behind it and you got a hit."

    In addition to his new ventures via the web, the rapper plans to spend his retirement time developing the artists and producers he has signed to his label, Black Wall Street. Game also wants to "dive head first into scripts" since he had such a good experience on the set of the movie "Street Kings", which starred Forrest Whittaker and Keanu Reeves.

    "Everybody was real professional and respected me and I was always punctual, on time, respected everybody and didn't bring my rapping ego over to the film side," said Game. "I did my thing and they appreciated me and I appreciated them. And Street Kings movie was pretty dope."

    Even though Game is planning to take the acting world by storm, he doesn't plan on taking any classes. "I'm just a natural," he says. "I don't really need no classes. I want to be like the guy that never took classes and won and Oscar."

    The Game's third album "L.A.X." will be released on July 8th. It features production by Kanye West, Cool & Dre, Just Blaze and appearances by Common, Ludacris, Ne-Yo, Raekwon, Busta Rhymes and Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry.
