Rap star Game reportedly got out the slammer today, after eight days, but according to the rapper's representative, he's still rocking county blues.
According to Allhiphop.com, Game's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley announced the rapper (real name Jayceon Taylor) was released early today for a gun incident that occurred last year. But a rep for the rapper says he was simply transferred from one prison to another because of his gang affiliations.
Charges for Game stem from an altercation in February 2007, where outside the Rita Walters Educational Learning Complex in Los Angeles, Game punched a player from an unknown team during a pick-up basketball game. He then reportedly ran to grab his gun, before threatening the man. He was arrested three months later.
The rapper was sentenced February of last year to 60 days in prison and ordered to do 150 hours of community service.

I always thought that the whole process of becoming a rapper was a) Voice your take on life and most importantly make some money . Consequently leave all that negativity behind you . provide for your family and community et al.
But time after time, we read that this and that has been arrested for drugs and weapons possessions. Its a shame ..do they not know that they are they owners of tomorrow. I mean if their assets and taxes are seviced. Their kids will be privately educated, investing in the future of the brothers . No longer will our legacy be generations of poverty driven struggles. As a collective we need these rappers to succeed, so they can aid in the uplifting of our people. Even in a little way .
And please, no matter how hard they think they have to be .....commercial success is what they all crave for . Critical acclaim is cool , but you need to take your ass outta the ghetto bro ... you haven't got the time to be spending in jail. Not after the hard work you've put in .
The bar has been raised ..... Obama for president !
Jayceon Taylor ....,you've got skills. Don't throw away what you've struggled to build,if a dis is the price you have to pay then pay it.
The only gangster you need to be ..is the negro with your paper growing like some GM modified crop. Stay black and wealthy .
All the way from London, mate .
