The Game Sues Koch/Fast Life Over Early Recordings

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  83 Comments

game.jpgCompton MC The Game has filed a lawsuit against independent labels Koch Entertainment and Fast Life Records for releasing material that he recorded prior to signing with Aftermath/Interscope. The suit alleges that the two labels “are liable for at least eighty-one separate counts of copyright infringement as a result of their unlawful and unauthorized marketing, selling and distributing of at least five CDs and one DVD containing copyrighted musical compositions and sound recordings of The Game.” The material in question, including Untold Story, Untold Story Vol. 2, Untold Story Vol. 2 Chopped & Screwed and G.A.M.E., were primarily recorded when The Game was signed to Bay Area rapper JT The Bigga Figga’s Get Low label. Representatives from Koch have claimed that they have full rights to the early material, that The Game’s suit is without merit and that they will prove their case in court.

  • steve-o

    Okay, the game isnt the best rapper out there but he is a hell of a lot better then 50. 50 is the most over-rated and over-played rapper in the business. He is just a pop-rapper. so lets go game. and ggg-unot

  • IKI

    Game got every right to sue Koch especially if he aint makin’ money of the fuckas. My dogg was tellin’ me that JT sold it to ‘em but that don’t mean shit its still Game’s album so he should still be gettin’ money. Getcha money man, getcha money.

    besides untold story vol 2 nd wc resurrection are pileass of shit

  • Tampa813

    Game is about as hard as the inside of a swiss cake roll. He might sell to all those west coast idiots who have been searching for a decent rapper since pac got hit up…but let me tell you that Game isnt what youre looking for. Hell sell to the west but his music is weak and repetitive, nothing original.Without 50 writing his hooks and adding his swagger, you might as well say GAME OVER. His own brother thinks hes a duck and a wanksta, and is telling all these magazines the same thing. Is game going to do anything about it? no. Remember when he says “yall remember what happened in D.C.” Yeah well you run around with 30 dumbass weedfiend broke ass nigs to defend yourself and are attacking fucking DJs when you outnumber them 10 to 1. Lame as hell. Hey, if you see Suge, tell him to smack Game one more time for me.

  • texas flippin

    lets all play a game. and bash that phony as bastard call the game. only game he plays is with 50′s small ass dick cowards. g unit…. please phony

  • Tha truth all u need to know

    i think its a bad idea he is suing koch. he should come to a royalty agreement with them to split profits. suing koch is stupid because were is he gonna go after interscope drops him. ask all the rappers on koch that were on majors that are on koch now. he basically has nothing if he sues.

  • G-Unit Soldier!

  • Lord Tyrenol

    Everyone pull your asses from out of your heads and LISTEN!

    First off, Fiddy’s a punk because 1) he outs his drugdealer employer and ended their career sooner than later. And 2) wouldn’t make his hired muscle ex-friend’s bail when he got famous.

    And Game: He left for Dre and basically forgot to close the door to his rap vault. JT got mad because of this and took advantage of Game’s studio time.

    Damn! Fuck you idiots who’d readily pop anything into your iPods. Fuck your stupid “hyphy movement.” And Fuck 50 for helping to reverse much of the progress done by Rosa Parks, Dr. King, Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, etc. Call my bluff. I bet that some of y’all ain’t black either. Y’all must be from the sub-suburbs.

    BlackWallStreet! G-U-NOT! Take that money you make from drugdealing and go to college, yo!

  • big money grip

    Fuck u Lord Tyrenol u dick head the Game iz da man and aint nobody fuckin wit him. If he wanted to he could fuck your bitch. Da way i c it 50 iz a bitch and llyod banks a snitch so all g-unit haters and its gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg-U Not Bitch!

    First off to VA STAND UP “stop snitchin stop lyin you homo-erectus ass nigga”

    and to A MOTHERFUCKIN GUNIT SOLDIER you wanna be down like Brandy’s first single, get off they dick, they shitty, deal wit it.

    50′s music is ALRIGHT, but his character is so flawed that he aint worth 50 cents. To anybody that don’t believe me think about this…

    Dre got a song with Jada on his Detox album…betcha 50 don’t beef wit Dre..

    D-Block and Dipset annihalated G-Units street cred, they get no respect.

    Game shitted on them niggas on 300 bars, say he didn’t?…..

    50 snitched on Murder Inc, and the Supreme Team

    Game didn’t follow suit with them homos so he started his own movement..Black WallStreet

    on 50′s album “Guess Who’s Back” he had Nas on 3 songs, now he’s dissin him??? Get a fuckin life.

    And, he disowned his own flesh and blood (25 cent), let the industry get to his fuckin head.

    And he tooooo shitty to be so fuckin confident. Start rappin and quit talkin you fuckin lame.

    Point blank, 50 is ass.
    BTW, what is this article even about?

  • BADNEWS

    I hate mutha fuckas who use other peoples names like this guy up there calls him self 50 cent, then one guy called 50 cent the boss one up here called the game yall mother fuckers stop it man stop ridin these niggas dicks like u sum groupie man damn come on ur nickname is for a reason or was giving 2 u u just dont bit another motherfucker and play them cuz u suck. dont mean 2 be an ass….well yea i am cuz u mutha fuckas retarded homie get real, and go hard or go home!

  • MACKDADDYG

    50 CENT AINT GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS..JT THE BIGGA FIGGA (FRISCO U KNOW) GOT A HOLD ON GAME FIRST (GET LOW) AND PAID HIM OUT TO DO A NUMBER OF SONGS..AFTERWARDS GAME SIGNED WITH DRE AND HIT THE TOP. STILL JT, OWNING THE RIGHTS TO THE SONGS HE DID BEFORE HE BLEW UP, RELEASED EM, AND ROLLED IN THE DOUGH. ALL GAME NEEDS IS COCHRAN, AND LET HIM WORK HIS MOUFPIECE. BAY AREA ON IT WITH THE INDEPENDANT GAME!! YADADADA!!
