Well if the rumors are true it looks as if The Game will come up and replace Mack 10 to become to 3rd member of the Westside Connection which as we all know features Ice Cube and WC.

Ice Cube has plans to begin working on the new album almost immediately. The in-fighting between Mack 10 and Ice Cube became public knowledge once Cube started replacing verses in his songs that once featured Mack 10 in them such as Bow Down at recent concert appearances.

Cube also left Mack 10 out of his new album telling MTV that he would always have a spot for WC.

Mack 10 reportedly is/was mad at Ice Cube for not doing any tour dates for Westside Connections last album, which can I say that album was HOT, and instead just going on to doing more movies rather than worry about his kinfolk in the Connection.

No official word from either camp regarding The Game joining but according to illseed it looks promising.

New Jersey students will get a first-hand account about the consequences of gang violence when West Coast rap star the Game makes an appearance at a school in Newark, New Jersey.

The Compton, California born rapper, who will serve as the spokesperson for the city’s Peace in Our Streets rally, will speak to youth about violence on the street at 3:30 p.m. EST Thursday (June 12) at the George Washington Carver School Playground.

According to organizers, the Game’s past trials and tribulations provide a solid basis for the rapper to encourage attendees to choose a different path follow this summer.

“I know first hand what gang violence does to our community and that is why I’m doing ‘Peace in Our Streets’ today,” The Game told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “Even though I rap about my experience in my community and grew up in that environment doesn’t mean I uphold its concepts.”

The Game’s visit comes amid troubling times for Newark, as the city’s residents struggle with living in one of the most violent areas in New Jersey.

Organizers hope to the event will provide the public with an informative, entertaining and safe environment that can be held on the same streets that are plagued with violent crimes.

The Game is currently enjoying the release of his latest single, “Game’s Pain.”

The song, which features Keyshia Cole, is the first single from the rapper’s forthcoming album L.A.X(Los Angeles Times).

While serving his prison sentence, the Game didn’t want to make a mockery of people doing “real time.” He just wanted to stay out of the way. But like a lot of celebs who find themselves in prison, Game was harassed and got into physical conflicts with some of the corrections officers.

“They was doing all kinds of crazy stuff,” the MC said recently in New York. “They were playing G-Unit songs through the intercom while I was asleep. They was playing ‘Window Shopper’ just to irritate me. First couple of days, I was getting irritated and pissed off. But then it started to set in that this is a big game to them and they just kids, and they don’t really understand life yet. It was funny after a while. It wasn’t funny the first couple of times, though.”

Game only had to serve two weeks of his 120-day sentence — for which he gives a big thanks to his lawyers — but it was a burden nonetheless. Game’s first single after his release from prison in mid-March was the Cool & Dre-produced “Big Dreams.”

“I was just free,” he said. “I was so happy to record, even though I was in there for just two weeks. In jail, you’re counting seconds: ‘1, 2, 3.’ Nothing’s happening, man. You’re just standing there. No TV, no radio, you’re in your cell. You gotta find time to meditate. Read a book. Work out. That’s what I did. I read four or five novels in two weeks. Got my push-ups on.”

In addition to “Big Dreams,” the Compton MC also released “Game’s Pain,” an ode to hip-hop luminaries from LL Cool J to the Fresh Prince. Keyshia Cole sings on the hook.

“There was a message in The Documentary, there was a message in The Doctor’s Advocate, there is no message in L.A.X.,” he said of his upcoming LP. “If there is a message, that message will be that for the first time in my career, I was able to record a studio album in peace — without drama, without anything rendering me helpless, without having to fight with my label or 50. Or without worrying about if Dre would be producing on the album. I can do it on my own. I proved that with my last album.”

Game described his state of mind as “free-spirited” and said his artistry is vastly improved.

“My lyrics, 10 times elevated,” he said. “I’ve grown as an MC more than I’ve ever thought I could have done. I got to record with people that really wanted to do music with me.”

In some cases, the artists and producers broke their necks to work with the Game. No MP3s were sent out. Everybody who contributed to the album, whether it be vocally or musically, was actually in the lab with Game during the recording sessions. Ice Cube turns up, as do Marsha Ambrosia and Busta Rhymes on a record called “Undefeated.” Ne-Yo appears twice on “Thug and a Gentleman” and “Camera Phone.”

“I came up with a couple of concepts,” Game said. “Two times in a row, he outwrote on my hooks. They became Ne-Yo hooks. … Ne-Yo is like my Nate Dogg right now.”

L.A.X. will be released July 8.
