    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Game has faced questions lately when it comes to his latest single, "Wouldn't Get Far," the look at the "vixens" who appear in rap videos, but he has responded with eloquence and confidence, and he displayed those traits once again during a recent appearance on MTV's Total Request Live.

    Appearing in TRL's Times Square studio via live webcam from Santa Monica, The Game was told that the mostly female audience members thought he looked good. Soon after, however, he was grilled with the now-familiar question: "Are you dissin' all the girls in hip-hop videos?"

    The Game didn't hesitate to set the record straight.

    "I just wanted to basically let everybody know that most of the time, those video chicks and that lifestyle is just a false reality and that once the camera's off and the makeup's off and they give their wardrobe back to the stylist, man, they go home not lookin' so good," Game said, eliciting whoops and hollers from the New York audience.

    "So for all the teenage girls out there and all the girls looking for self-motivation and just working on their self-esteem, you don't have to be that for you to go out and look good," he continued. "You can be yourself and still look good."

    That simple message of empowerment was understood so much so that he was rewarded with applause.

    He also told the story of how the song in question came to feature Kanye West, who raps the second verse.

    Game said he got the beat in an email from West, listened to it, and got excited immediately. "I was like, 'This is crazy,'" Game recalled. "I always wanted to do one of those songs, so I started writing it. And once I started writing the first verse, I was like, 'Oh, I'm gonna get in trouble with this one, man.'"

    Game sent the lyrics back to Kanye to see if West would contribute to the song, but West was slightly taken aback by the explosive nature of the words, as Game described. "He called me back and he was like, 'What the hell did you do, man?'" Game said. But Kanye went through the verse, "cleaned it up," according to Game, and soon the track was finished.

    The rest is just another piece of hip-hop history, Game-style</div>
