Game Jumps To YMCMB!

Rapper traded his G-Unit spinner and Aftermath chain for a Cash Money necklace!

It seems like the West Coast rapper is struggling to eat. He wants to reboot his career.

So what does he do?

He signs to a major label that already saturates the airwaves with hits!

Jayceon Taylor burst onto the scene with hopes to revive the West Coast rap scene. In 2003 he signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and 50 Cent's G-Unit Records to record his debut album The Documentary. It was a classic record.

It brought the world to the young Nigga who once said that his only way to survival was to rap.

He said that rap saved him after he was shot five times.

During his rise, he engaged in numerous feuds with rappers. The Game even feuded with 50 Cent and Dr. Dre. The feud soured his deal with Aftermath and G-Unit. So he was expelled from the labels.

He managed to release four more albums on the Interscope label. Of the five albums, The Documentary, The Doctor's Advocate and L.A.X. were certified platinum albums.

 The R.E.D. Album and Jesus Piece weren't so great. His music barely get radio play.

So in order to finish up his obligations with Interscope, he finished his five albums and decided to go free agent. So I am guessing that the word on the street The Game was inking a deal with a major label.

Last year, I stated that Lil' Wayne expressed interest in snagging the 34-year old rapper. The rappers had mutual respect for one another and a strong affiliation with the Bloods, a street gang (rather domestic terrorists).

I guess I must have missed this one. Because it looks like The Game is now officially a member of Cash Money Records. Birdman confirmed that last week.

The label once specialized in Southern based hip-hop. But in 2008, it went through a huge makeover.

Lil' Wayne established his own affiliation label Young Money Entertainment. He would later snag rapper/singer Drake and rapper/reality star Nicki Minaj and the rest is history.

Nowadays, most mainstream rap songs may have a feature from Lil' Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj or the founder of the label Bryan "Baby/Birdman" Williams.

Cash Money Record artists include (but not limited to):

Lil' Wayne
Birdman
Drake
Tyga
Nicki Minaj
Kevin Rudolf
Jay Sean
Mack Maine
Lil' Twist

Game is the latest artist to join Cash Money Records. Others include Christina Milian (formerly of Def Jam), Bow Wow (formerly of So So Def), Limp Bizkit (formerly of Interscope), Mystikal (formerly of No Limit Records),  Busta Rhymes (formerly of Aftermath and Flipmode), Paris Hilton (reality star/hotel heiress) and Rev. Perm.

There's talk that The LOX may sign to Cash Money Records.

We'll see how it goes in the coming months.

Game well wishes.
