The Game Passes On Live 8

The Game couldn’t be persuaded to play Live 8. Though Jay-Z is doing the Philadelphia leg in America on Saturday, the former G Unit rapper isn’t sure it’s something rappers should be doing. “I’m just going to stand back and watch from afar and see what happens, you know hip hop and politics – we’ll see how it turns out,” he tells Radio 1. “This is my first time being a mega superstar, so I’m just having fun indulging in my success.”
