As the NBA All-Star Game just passed, it seems that Snoop Dogg and The Game decided that they should do something special to honor their favorite NBA team, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Rapper Wiz Khalifa recently released an extremely popular debut single entitled “Black & Yellow”. Lil’ Wayne remixed the song in order to honor the Green Bay Packers, and The Game and Snoop Dogg recently released their take on the song, calling it “Purp & Yellow”.
The music video features appearances by numerous NBA players, including Ron Artest, Matt Barnes and Shannon Brown. The video, which was directed by Matt Alonzo, features the crowd rushing into a warehouse, setting up a live band and DJ in order to turn up the volume and get the party started.
Although the video doesn’t show it, while the filming was taking place, The Game was the victim of a stunt gone wrong when he cut his finger while smashing a guitar.
The rapper had to thoroughly destroy a guitar, but when the instrument shattered, a piece of plastic flew into his finger, causing him to be admitted to the hospital for stitches.
