The Game at South Bay:
310 Motoring and Shiekh Shoes teamed up for a rare appearance and autograph
signing with one of the biggest names in the music industry, The Game. As early
as 9 o’clock in the morning there was a line in front of the store that
consisted of young music enthusiasts and loyal Shiekh Shoes’ customers.
Although The Game wasn’t due to arrive until 12 p.m., the anticipation was
apparent. The line was well over a hundred when The Game arrived and he
willingly stayed beyond his time frame to greet as many of his fans as possible.
With over 4 million records sold in his solo
debut, The Documentary, The Game solidified his presence in the Hip-Hop world.
Labeled the next best thing from the West Coast, The Game showed very much
appreciated support for his fans here on the Westside, who also happen to make
up a significant portion of Shiekh Shoes’ customers.
The Game teamed up with some of the biggest stars
in the Rap world for his debut album, including, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg, and Kanye
West. Having the guidance of Dr. Dre, who is widely known as the Godfather of
West Coast rap, proved to be pivotal in The Game’s plan for a West Coast
resurrection, and the combination of the two may play a major role in the
direction Rap music for many years to come.
