Much like Wiz Khalifa’s forthcoming sophomore album “O.N.I.F.C.,” The Game’s new album is an acronym with an interesting meaning. Get the details from an excerpt in his new XXL interview below.
The album will be called F.I.V.E.: Fear Is Victory’s Evolution.
“The meaning behind that is like—me as a rapper, you as a journalist, Kobe as a basketball player—you gotta be afraid to do something, or have those butterflies in your stomach,†he explained about the title. “We all get that feeling. Before you did your first interview, you probably was like, ‘Damn, I don’t want to ask the wrong questions. I want to do this right.’ Me, before I wrote my first rap, or the first time I was in the booth. Fear. But then fear is victory’s evolution. After a while, you become a dope journalist, I become a dope rapper, Kobe is Kobe. You achieve and you pass over that fear. Now it ain’t fear; it’s just victory. It’s victory of all.â€
F.I.V.E. is also significant as a title because it will be his fifth studio album.
