Game ft. Tyler the Creator - Martians vs. Goblins

|



Two west coast powerhouses, Game and Tyler the Creator, get together for this dark track. Oh, and Lil Wayne is on it too, but honestly he doesn't bring much to the table so who cares. They both take shots at various celebrities and artists, such as Chris Brown, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, LeBron James, Tyler Perry, and Bruno Mars. The video is set in a dim, decrepit mental institution which just adds to the song's already dismal feel (which is Tyler's specialty in my opinion). I really like it..it's artistic and goes hand in hand with the flow of the song..certainly not the average rap video.


Game ft. Lil Wayne - Red Nation

|


Game (formally known as The Game) was born and raised in Los Angeles/Compton and has a very West Coast style. Although raised in a Crip household, he later became a Blood and after an incident in 2001, Game decided to leave the gang life behind and pursue hip-hop as a career. His life growing up and continuing to live in the gang culture inspires many of his songs.

"Red Nation" was the lead single off Game's 2011 album The R.E.D. Album and uses a sample of techno artist Zombie Nation's 2000 hit "Kernkraft 400". It's also featured in the trailer of the upcoming Mark Wahlberg movie Contraband. The music video was banned from airing on both BET and MTV because of its controversial portrayal of gang culture and Game's allegiance to the Bloods. I don't think it's that serious..it has a somewhat post-apocalyptic feel and doesn't expressely glorify gang culture or violence. You can see for yourself after the break.
