For the celebration of The Game's new album, LAX, the west coast rapper chose to show love to his east coast fans on Tuesday night (August 26) with a show at the Fillmore in NYC. Armed with a ban of fellow rappers and plenty of G-Unit disses, The Game had even the most native New Yorkers throwing up their W's. Fat Joe, Jim Jones, Joe Buddens, among others made appearances.
Yung Joc helped open the show with a performance of "It's Going Down," while Irv Gotti popped onstage to enjoy the performances.
After explaining that he came over here from Compton, only to catch beef because of someone else, Joe Buddens appeared on stage and performed his infamous "Pump It Up" alongside Game. Before Joey exited the stage, Game showed his gratitude by telling him, "I appreciate you rocking with me my brother, especially when you a real n****."
Ghostface and "The Chef" Raekwon performed after which Game asked them, "How ya'll n****'s still look 20?" followed by laughter from the audience.
Legend DJ Kool Herc graced the stage with his presence followed by Fat Joe's performance of "Lean Back."
After many chants of "G-Unot," Maino sang "Hi Hater," resulting in a few minutes of freestyles from Game since, "N****'s always say The Game can't freestyle."
It was clear how many G-Unit haters were present when Young Buck got on stage along with his entourage. The Game obliged by yelling out one by one that each member of G-Unit can suck his d*** before performing "This Is How We Do." Buck then performed his song, "Shorty Wanna Ride."
Things came to an end shortly after Jim Jones appeared to perform his track "Love Me No More" and his very first collabo with The Game, "Certified Gangsta." These were just some of the celebrity appearances throughout the night.
Game let everybody know before leaving that, "I know you came out to see Game, you didn't think it was going to be this live."
