Compton CA rapper
The Game is preparing to release the second run of his Hurricane sneaker in addition
to the latest album The Doctor’s Advocate."The
Hurricane 1 was more of a canvas, an everyday shoe," The Game told AllHipHop.com.
"This next shoe is a little more sporty, a little more urban, so you’re going
to catch a lot more of the Hip-Hop heads rocking the Hurricane 2."The
rapper teamed with Skechers USA and 310 Motoring to create and release The Hurricane.
The shoe became a fast seller when it hit stores in Dec. 2005, helping Skechers
2005 net income increase almost 90% over 2004.Skechers
also surpassed the $1 billion mark in sales in 2005 for the first time since the
company was founded in 1992."We’re
holding it down – nobody can f**k with us right now," Game boasted.Game
also spoke on his upcoming album The Doctors Advocate, which is slated to hit
stores in Nov. on The Game’s Black Wallstreet imprint, which is distributed by
Geffen."I’m
selling a million records the first week. When people buy the album, you’ll see
all the pain, all the struggle I’ve been going through the last two years,"
Game continued. "I’m lyrically and mentally at a space in Hip-Hop where only
Rakim, B,I.G., Pac, Nas, Jigga, Snoop could understand. I’m on a whole ‘nother
level. I’m ahead of the game right now."The
