Once again, the hip-hop community spoke, and once again, they made The Game No. 1.
With Dr. Dre and G-unit clearly in the rearview mirror, the Compton-based rapper entered the Billboard charts for the week of November 20th with his second album, Doctor's Advocate, atop The Billboard 200. With nearly 360,000 units moved, Doctor's Advocate was able to beat down competition from R&B singer Akon, whose album also debuted on the charts this week.
The Game's latest release hit the streets Nov. 14 with a lot of momentum from a couple of hit singles, "It's Okay (One Blood)" and "Let's Ride." The 16-track, 73-minutes-plus album has been lauded by The New York Times as the "best hip-hop album of the year."
Doctor's Advocate features a who's who of collaborating talent, ranging from Kanye West and Snoop Dogg to Jamie Foxx, Nas and Will.I.Am. It also boasts a top-level group of hip hop producers including West, Scott Storch, D.J. Khalil, Ervin "E.P." Pope, Reefa and Just Blaze.
The Game will tour Europe starting in December and will be bringing his adrenaline-pumping live show to the U.S. in 2007.
