Game spits a little “rapper talk” about his failed singles, which, in translation, means: “The singles sucked, no one bought them, radio didn’t pick them up, and they weren’t strong enough to support an album release…so my album keeps getting pushed back and these tracks won’t make the cd.”

Complex: As far as your other songs, you had a lot of singles out. You had “Krazy,” “Shake,” and “It Must Be Me.” Were you not satisfied with…

Game: No, no. It was Pharrell’s idea to just throw a bunch of songs out. You know I’m saying like, we threw a bunch of shit out just to you know test the waters. That’s it, man.

Complex: So, will those songs still make the album?

Game: No.

Complex: They’ve been cut from the album?

Game: No, “Krazy,” and I think something else, those were for iTunes. Interscope doing a few things where you give songs to iTunes just to let the fans have them earlier and you charge them $.49 for ’em, and that’s what those were. We haven’t put out any real singles yet. The only thing that was on the album that got put out was the Justin Timberlake record, but that was never supposed to be the first single or anything. That was like a good, last, third or fourth single, but it leaked. The label liked it, radio liked it, so they started spinning it. Then another joint leaked, my joint with Robin Thicke and T.I.. When those joints leaked, man, you just gotta let ’em do what they do. Talk about ’em, push them as much as you can, ’cause they might blow—and if they don’t, then it was just a leak. But every time a song leaked I gotta go back in and really give it all I got. I really wish that Robin Thicke and T.I. joint didn’t leak, though, ’cause that was one of my favorite songs on the album.

Complex: We saw some screenshots of “Ain’t No Doubt About It” a while ago. Will the video be released anytime soon?

Game: Man, I don’t know. We shot a video for it; it might be released and it might not. And if it does get released, it might be released after whatever the first or second single is. Just for online purposes only.

Game talks working with Beanie Sigel as well.

Late pass. Apparently Game dropped this track over twitter over the weekend and not many people caught wind of it, initially. Features Young Joc, who’s been pretty quiet recently.

I’m pretty sure the tagged up version of this dropped the other day, but here is the shout-less version for y’all to enjoy. If I were Game, I’d be pissed at these crucial album leaks. Especially since the album has an indefinite release date now.

Things are a-movin for Game as he’s about to drop a vid for his street single, “Shake,”  he just dropped the Red Room mixtape and now we have his first mainstream single, “Ain’t No Doubt.” It’s obvious that he and Pharrell knew exactly what they were getting themselves in to when they invited Timberlake to be on the track. Crossover appeal, people.
