9:05 pm
choose the i go oh what a great a great thing you've probably been misunderstood by people now i would give i would give people the benefit of the doubt and say they knew exactly who i was because that's what i gave them and now i just turn over a new leaf i'm told that there was an email circulated with a photo of you falsely representing you as trayvon martin what was that that was a little weird one of our friends a pretty me too you know if you want a photo and i just never even understood it i seen it in a kind of just turned out that she could still make sense to me did you recently get a new tattoo commemorating him i did and the day after i got a text message from you know his mom just saying you know how great she thought it was initially appreciated me keeping the memory alive and i thought that was pretty cool how did you react to that little tastes you know what. i watched the zimmerman trial and i was pretty upset i'm not in any way shape or form
9:06 pm
a racist guy you know i really appreciate people of all ethnicities you know around the world i'm will travel but i didn't i didn't think that was a just trial if i can say so you know if i could say so myself i just i felt like a child you know that it was murdered the didn't really do anything close to the give the charged him with the man slows something and might have gotten the guilty were. yeah they would do you think so. i think so i think that if they if they did i think that if you know trayvon martin lawyers would have you know taken different approach that it might have got a different verdict i do believe i do believe it is your you had a tough upbringing like crazy but did that upbringing inspire robin hood. i want to think i want to say that everything that i've ever been through any controversy or turmoil or any hurdles that you know leaped over you know have all kind of
9:07 pm
contributed to you know while become today how did you get the name game and the name game was given to me by my grandmother she was you know rest or so and now she was a really really really sweet little texas lady and she used to call me again because i was when i was younger i was pretty much good at everything and that's to moan horn but i play basketball you know swim really good. play football soccer baseball videogames i was fast and so she used to just say you know a boy's game for anything old texas saying and sort of stuck with me and you know when it came time for me to become a rapper i kind of put the t.h.d. on it as a doctor who would you know him stand earn their you know degree and then become a doctor so it's gonna do th he is like my doctor what was your name oh my real name is seriously on taylor that's not just another name just another thing so you again i'm going to the last name no first name just game just a game describe your childhood. much out of it was. was crazy
9:08 pm
ahmed at would you go up there i grew up in compton california so early on eight years old my dad molested my sister and we were taken. out of the home boche our services and put in foster homes me and was this is a brother's all broken up into different foster homes which i don't understand i mean i'm. i just figured they should have families that would take us all you know but we were split up and that led you know to us growing up in different areas and you know like. from much out of that i became you know a member of the bloods and of course had a brother who was a member of the crips because we you know his foster home was you know in a different area than mines and so that was at eight years old enough that at. thirteen years old my older brother got killed. in compton over some that was really minute and ever since then i just was on
9:09 pm
a warpath who raised you. grew up in a foster home till i was about ninth grade then the judge wanted my mom custody over us again but that at that time leaving my mom at eight years old and coming back you know five six years later we didn't really see you nearly as gave birth you're so you. did the best that i could to be you know a drug dealer i tried to master it and i wasn't really you know infest the community or anything like that i was really just trying to survive and. some i didn't like that so one day at about one in one am in the morning you know i get a knock on the door and i was you know pretty greedy so opened it trying to you know make one more sale and what came through the door was three three guys would there were army and fought and you know. wrestled on the ground with the biggest one and i end up getting you know almost getting
9:10 pm
a better you know of best situation and he just you know pulled the trigger and this is just they wanted to rob me for my money and you know things i had around the house maybe drugs and gangs and violence that you were best of all play that you think you did a play called as best i played basketball and also drugs at the same time and. end of getting shot and of course that was the end of my basketball career because . i shot an ankle twice once really close to my heart ohm under my arm and a few times in you know in my former's. so all is change i get is through dr dre right now the battle happened. i want to see the minister farah khan speak i'm not muslim but for some reason i heard he was coming to town and i thought that would be a good thing to do you know as far as taken steps that changed my life so i went to see minister farah khan speak and it was pretty powerful i didn't leave one to be
9:11 pm
muslim or anything and i really appreciated some things you had to say and then others you know i didn't really care for with there was a small one opinion at the time so i walked out of there and it was a hip hop summit where they feature snoop dog and russell simmons and he had a freestyle contest and i went to wrapped in it and and i'm doing a really good job and i got you know contact you know with snoop and you know snoop said you know he might sign me you know man yes nuba school may never really happen but i mean another guy who end up taking my demo to dr dre and the rest is history is dr drew a role model for you growing up especially being from compton injury being from compton dr dre was definitely a role model for me still is my look up to him you know like a big brother and he's been there you know he's gone now because of them and they say it's gone then one day what is the story with that you know what jerry's album is like a sort of like the jesus of music you know you just wait on it's come back. and
9:12 pm
it's always been a change your life right definitely changed my life what made you good at hip hop or what is it what made you different the birth of my first son. before money for the bar for harlem i don't really have like i said my brother died when i was thirteen and after that i didn't really care about life or didn't feel i had anything to hold on to growing up in compton losing a bunch of friends to you know to gang violence and stuff like that and you just there's really no hope you know sometimes and so it wasn't in a bar for my son that i really figured out the dislikes thing is pretty serious and not only do i have to worry about myself but now as a child so i instantly kicked you know my life in a fifth gear and i never looked back coming up more with the multi-talented and multi-faceted game we'll be right back after the break. wealthy british style. sometimes. free.
9:13 pm
market why not spend the. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds a report on our. the pledge was a terrible mistake now i'm very sorry to take on to let you get along here is a plot that you never had sex with others make their lives let's listen. listen to the m
9:14 pm
let's. listen to. the. time of the new alert animation gets scared me a little bit. there is breaking news tonight and we are continuing to follow the breaking news. alexander's family cry tears of. great things out there that there had to be added regard and a court of law found alive is a story made for the movies playing out in real life. so
9:15 pm
bad with game if you want more information on the robin wood project he's given away money if you want to help if you want to add to his giving or if you've got a story that you know about that he could help you can go to the what jose they read you again documentary in a best way is on my instagram which is just the documentary. the documentary is that was your first album right was ok and you've had a musical evolution that going from that your recent one is jesus piece right explain that one. jesus piece. the jesus piece is. a chain in a medallion that most rappers where ninety nine percent of us are even christian and some of us don't even believe in jesus so which is kind of ironic because we're spending all this money jesus pieces oh i'm so i want to do album called jesus
9:16 pm
peace because i was kind of torn you know in the middle like i really believe in jesus but it's kind of hard and it's contradictory and sort of hypocritical to say that you believe in jesus and then you know commit all these you know heinous acts on on the other hand so i thought to be a good subject and what a good concept to do to believe i definitely believe in jesus. you think hip hop glorifies violence i think hip hop glorifies everything but you sing it i definitely sing it so even if it was violence that's ok though the stops of us alone from shooting up stuff planned rambo. it is what it is it is four minutes a minute you children got any interest in singing. my oldest son you know he's too busy into watching miley cyrus to work to worry about you know being a singer and then my young and my middle son is don't know he really loves music he knows every song out by heart of course the radio version and so does my daughter
9:17 pm
so we'll see how you reacted to being famous. and who would. fully understand why i am innocent you know total in a total capacity of you know the world i live in but i'm always been humbled you know and that's what's kept me afloat i think um i think i'm probably the people's champion and you know i've always my entire career from the early stages to now always been you know pretty much just out there you know on the pavement in the streets with the people from you know if it doesn't matter if it's going to get my own groceries or take my stuff to the cleaners myself like i'm really you know have any you know body that really does the day to day things for me but when you look back at your life earlier and then look it's over and you got all the money to live with me and stuff what's it like. maybe a pinch yourself to it you know what it's today it has pros and cons when alone
9:18 pm
with a lot of money you know comes a lot of hatred and a lot of people that want to handouts and of course you know i do the best that i can but even then you can't help more so some friends become follows some family you know becomes distant you know relatives than just how it is you write all your own stuff i definitely do us where money is. you know not just performing most rappers write all their own most a few don't but most of us do you're only thirty three right only i love it say it again oh well when you're my age i was only there i got ties o. living here. where do you go from here do you think when you look ahead you're fifty years old what you don't want to be a rap singer when you're fifty right you know what i don't want to be a rap rapper when i'm when i'm fifty years old or fifty years old. i beg to be a mogul i'm going to be playing golf with you somewhere. i are you expanding your brand you could do more with robin hood of lead get robin hood the robin to project will probably be around as long as i am and after it's something that really that
9:19 pm
i'm really keen on and helping people was really put a spin a positive spin on my life in this new age and so it definitely be felt more focused on that in the future so got a sixty day the fitness world working now with thirty to forty people every morning on runyon canyon so yeah it's a lot of joy to give isn't it it is a lot of joy to give what about the reality sort of the h one marrying the game what is that. marrying the game is the show to feed myself my fiance and my three children and of course you know our day to day friends and family. it is a struggle because at the end of the day we went into the reality show as a wedding special supposed to be six episodes a wedding and then never a season two now here we are. still not married in season two trying to figure it out which is where it is i can't really grasp. the reason that we didn't get
9:20 pm
married or al even got season two when it was and when special so it's funny half and try to figure out your life on why did you get married. you know it was her fault it's always the one that's true it's what does she do wrong she got mad that i got a female assistant and i went to paris with the assistant and everyone else it wasn't just me an assistant it was me and about same people and so you know if you want to call off the wedding or postpone the wedding there has been postponed nervousness why didn't you take tiffany to paris i was leaving for day. she's a schoolteacher she has to teach and there was no you know is no real reason that you know she had to take off from work because these thirty children are a class you know you need the teachers you know whitney houston the older kids. and she teaches third grade your kids. oh my kids are ten and six and three the ten year old as well would be if you get married and it's in your own doesn't but the
9:21 pm
six year old seems they have a lot of questions really yet you think you'll get married. one day you marry i love to be married is to have me still bug you about it on ash and she called it all of those you want to you want to call it on when i want to talk about this it's crazy. if she does she takes us on no i'm as it is this is your person live you made it personal you made it public by doing a reality show so you introduce your personal life to the public like she definitely text you know she didn't act or should know she didn't actually if she takes you that you've got a thing about her. you do have a thing about her i did tell you why before we get to the next that we play a lot of games and that segue into the tattoo is why you know what when i was growing up. if you if you did something within the confines of the gang you're from then you were able to get a tattoo with
9:22 pm
a certain space and i don't know about that that reward was pretty pretty cool on them so you know i got my first tattoo which is the teardrop for don't want the wrong thing and after that it was shifts tell me that that tuesday you probably got about one hundred over one hundred why did you put it at two on your face because i'm really really was any at that point in my life since i look at is a star is a star with ella you're putting off my city you had about you yeah. if i had a tattoo what's true i do. if i was larry king i would get probably all my former i hear that that picture of a portrait of marilyn monroe is worth one marilyn monroe want to scar blue i'll be cool for you the seven year itch i was in the movie they were making when i and joe dimaggio got very ticked ya know watch it. the the herd to get the you know what every time i get a new tattoo off we get house crushing the pain is it definitely hurts all of them
9:23 pm
every single one so to me that's sick in other words i give the do today i can i get let's go get some pain. you have enough pain in your life why do you take the liberal pain you know what i still haven't figured that one out. ok we have some social media questions for you miss faeries wegg on twitter you've been in the game for nine years now do you feel you still have more to rap about. you know what when people ask me questions like that the answer is simply i cannot fit thirty three years to life in fives five biggest you know five c. so of course there's always you know events change in my life and things happen and so there's always a noose on the rap is read music or is it it's spoken poetry in a sense just depends on artists so you know you have musician a musician yeah. munns is sixty on instagram wants to know how is your relationship
