Or maybe it was Deeper Than Rap like Ricky Rozay said? It may have been deep enough to get banned on BET & MTV before being released via the internet today. The Game is back with the lead single “Red Nation” featuring YMCMB’s @LilTunechi from his upcoming album “R.E.D.” The Jay-Z Run This Town-esque video may need a few extra colors to get the tv execs to lighten up.

This time, I had to work (yes, on a Sunday night. I know, right?), so watching the show live isn’t an option. Thank God for DVR.

Most of the nominations go according to what you’d typically expect for a BET-endorsed award show-Alicia Keys, Jay-Z and Beyonce are among the key nominees-hell, it seems like they’re […]
