You know the mixtape The Game has out right now with the ‘Funeral,’ ‘My Turn,’ and ‘One Blood’? The mixtape that sounds like a street album? The man responsible for that quality is none other than The Game’s official DJ, DJ Skee. Aside from his helping hand in the production of some of the most sought after mixtapes, Skee has been working with the potent West Coast MC on his albums, spinning his records, and stood beside Game through the entire 50 Cent beef. When you’ve been riding shotgun alongside Game before The Documentary, you’ve got to know something.

The architect of the instant classic ‘300 Bars and Runnin’ and the man on the boards behind The Game’s fire does in fact have a lot to tell. Is Game working with Dre, the real Dre? What’s 50 doing to destroy a lot of MC’s? What happened with the label? What was it like being a part of G-Unit? How is Game going to respond to 50 toying with his image (see the cover of G-Unit Radio 21)? Why is the album constantly getting pushed back? What is on The Doctor’s Advocate?

Shedding light to what we want to know and illuminating the dark spots the media creates when covering artists of Game’s magnitude, DJ Skee willfully jumps into the hot seat. He speaks on the rumors and why Game is better off without G-Unit. Skee also lets us know what Game learned from 50 and who’s the first to get a taste of the Curtis Jackson formula.

 
How long have you been working with Game?

DJ Skee: It's been about four years. Way before G-Unit and Aftermath. Before anybody knew who he was. We chopped it up and it's been popping ever since.

How long did it take for you to build up the show chemistry with Game?

DJ Skee: It really came together with Game. I just change the beats and he rocks me.

'300 Bars and Running' is a legendary track. Did you two go in there with the intentions of making that record or did something spontaneous just happen?

DJ Skee: Game had already recorded it and everything, but, he came to me and it was over one beat. I was like, 'We gotta change that shit up, it's too long.' He didn't want to so I did a quick little mix and gave it to him.

You working with Game on the new album as well?

DJ Skee: Yeah, just helping him make a classic. He go does his thing and I go sit on the side and do me. Continued on page 2 »
