Pharrell Executive Producing The Game's "R.E.D. Album"

During an interview DubCNN, The Game revealed that Pharrell would be serving as executive producer on his upcoming album, The R.E.D. Album.

"Pharrell is my new favorite producer. I got a whole new respect for Pharrell and The Neptunes but especially Pharrell and how he do his thing," said Game. "The way that he coach me when we're in the booth, it's like a Pat Riley to a Tim Hardaway or Pat Riley to a Magic Johnson...and The Neptunes, people don't really understand who The Neptunes are, but if you take away The Neptunes from hip-hop, you take away the color in hip-hop.,"

On Tuesday (December 8) while being interviewed by Rap-Up.com, Game continued praising Pharrell and the work he is doing on the album.

"Pharrell's gonna take my album to the next level, keep me hood and cross me over at the same time by executive producing my album, so that's [speaking about the Star Trak tattoo he was getting on his arm] how I show my loyalty. Pharrell is my friend. We've created a work bond and established a friendship. Star Trak is gonna make me money in the future - that logo, that brand, that man helping me. That's something that's gonna put milk in my refrigerator and help me feed my kids, keep them in private school, and keep them doing what they do."

Aside from the Star Trak tat, Game is also planning to get a tattoo called the Evolution Of Gaming, which will feature the controllers from Nintendo, Saga Genesis, Sony Playstation, and XBox 360.

Pharrell Speaks On Lack Of Talent In The Industry

In a move that's never been done, producer and artist Pharrell Williams has revealed his honest feelings about the current industry - and its painfully obvious lack of talent.
Although he failed to name names, Williams recently called for a change when it comes to marketing artists and the attention paid to their over all aesthetic.

"They do still have the power because they have the marketing dollars," the three time Grammy Award winner told Rest In Beats. "And while all these great social networking sites have a lot of power, they haven't really figured out what to do with it...The last 12 to 15 years, this whole aesthetic thing has just ruined everything...It's just gotten too far. I mean, look, when I was a kid, you understand how many men were, like, balding but they were like the kings of music? It's not about that, it's not about how good your hair grows or like how strong your cheek bones are...Some of the biggest stars from the '80s and '90s weren't the best looking people in the world but they were where the talent was. Actors, actresses, musicans, artists, we gotta get back to that."

In other Pharrell news, the Virginia native made headlines earlier this year when he underwent laser surgery to have his tattoos removed.

"Laser treatment, b*tches," he wrote on his blog. "Extra crispy. See no skin graft here, just pure laser pain."
