Memorial Service Video Montage
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — Many fans will always remember where they were when they heard the “King of Pop” had died. The rapper The Game will always remember what he did afterward.
That same day, Thursday, June 25, he rounded up some famous friends, recorded a song, shot a music video and got a Michael Jackson tattoo etched on his upper arm. Actually, he got the tattoowhile he was in the studio recording the track. Some people know how to multitask.
The tune, “Better on the Other Side,” isn’t available for sale yet — although he’s hoping it will hit iTunes very soon. Because the record company was caught off guard, it is still playing catch-up. Game says all proceeds from the sale of the single will be donated to Michael Jackson’s family.
The companion music video is all over YouTube. In it, the 29-year-old shares the spotlight with Chris Brown, who sings the hook as a counterpoint to Game’s rap. It’s the first project Brown has appeared in since he pleaded guilty to assaulting his former girlfriend, Rihanna.
The video, in various forms, had received more than 750,000 views as of Thursday evening — not bad for less than a week in release.
In the following interview, The Game (born Jayceon Taylor) recounts how the project came together — with a little help from LadyLuck and the muse of Michael Jackson.
