Game Speaks On Recording Celebration

Compton rapper, Game is about to drop his 5th album (Jesus Piece) in a couple of weeks, and the first single off the album is titled- Celebration. The songs features Chris Brown, Wiz Khalifa, Tyga and Lil Wayne. In a recent interview, he spoke on how he managed to get the four superstars on one song-

 From the early stages of my career until now I think people respect what I do—as far as my credentials is concerned, which is the music. At the end of the day, I'm a cool dude. Along the way, I kind of became friends with pretty much every artist in hip-hop. New and old. So whenever I reach out to people to do a record, it’s almost instantaneous to get it back.

I got the record. Me, SAP, and Cool & Dre produced it. I always wanted to re-do “1st of tha Month.” All of the producers over the years who've tried it, it didn’t come out too well. Dr. Dre started [a beat sampling "1st of tha Month"] a long time ago for me, right after The Documentary, but he never got around to finishing it. One day I was thinking, "Man, I just want to try it today." We tried it, and we added the dope drums to do it. We made it a little bit livelier than the original beat.

Then, I called Chris and I asked him if he could sing this hook that I thought of, which was one of Krayzie’s lines in his verse: “Celebration, I love to stay high.” And after that I sent it to Tyga and he killed it. And I sent it to Wayne, and Wayne bodied it. And I did my verse, and the song was done. But I was recording with Wiz, and Wiz was like, "Yo, let me hear your single." So I play him “Celebration” and Wiz went crazy. He was like, "Yo, I need to get on this, man." So I’m like, "There ain’t no room." He was like, "Man, I’m about to make room." So he took four bars and he did his thing. So that was dope.

Okay, now i understand why Wiz Khalifa's part on the song was so short. If you ask me, Tyga made this song cool.
