West Coast lyricist The Game flew into the ATL last night to host a party at Pure Atlanta. The place got packed around 1am & may have had been elbow to elbow if not for the rules regarding hats. We witnessed alot of brothers that came to the club wearing hats, but were turned away if they didn't agree to pay an additional $20 to wear their hat in the club. This may have alienated many of his male fans in the ATL, but it didn't stop many of the beautiful women from showing up. The Game must have some hardcore fans in the Atlanta because people were forking over $40 to get in the club & it wasn't for Game to even perform. Hopefully those same people that showed up will also support his new album "L.A.X" when it drops on August 26th. A CD or download via itunes costs anywhere from $9.99 to $15 so it shouldn't be a problem for the people spotted paying more than that to just to watch him drink in V.I.P. all night.

A few artists who were spotted showing up to the party for The Game included Cee-Lo of Gnarles Barkley & Goodie M.O.B., Buckey of Flavor of Love Show, Memphis rapper Kinfolk Kia Shine (who was drunk as hell) , & DJ Don Cannon.

Check out some footage of the event as some of our staff positioned outside caught Cee-Lo & his homie UZI arriving to the party in a brand new Dodge Challenger.

With a new album on the way, The Game flys in from the West Coast tonight to kick it with his fans in the ATL

Check out a few videos from songs on his upcoming album "L.A.X." due on 8/26/08

Dr. Dre has been relatively low key in the past several years, but
he's already made alot of noise with his recent interview in Usatoday.

Arguably one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time, Dr Dre
tells Usatoday that his long anticipated album "Detox" will drop
sometime in November or December of this year.

"I'm just now — over the last couple of months — starting to feel that
it's going to be right and it's something I can be proud of, and
everybody is going to love it," says Dr. Dre (aka Andre Young). "In a
perfect world, I'm shooting for a November or December release."

Dr. Dre is known for creating classic albums that move from song to
song as if you're watching an audio movie & people have been waiting
on this followup for years. His last release, Dr. Dre's 2001, went 6
times platinum and was released just 9 years ago. The problem
for the holdup is due to Dr. Dre's well known character trait in being
a perfectionist.

"I just make the music feel the way I want it to feel and I don't put
it out until I'm totally happy with it. Then it does what it does."
says Dre, 43.

"We have an entirely new thing going with the drums that's
incredible, and we're still developing that." All "the usual suspects"
will make guest appearances, including Nas, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne."

Dr. Dre also hints that this would be his final solo album as he will
spend more time searching for & developing new artists.

"All I want to do is sit in the studio with that person for a year and
try to create another masterpiece."
