The Game to TMZ: Pimp My Sneakers!

Posted Nov 26th 2007 11:59PM by TMZ Staff

A sunny Saturday afternoon in L.A. -- the perfect time to get the guys out for a motorcycle ride -- and that's exactly where we found rapper The Game.


All of Melrose Ave. stopped to see The Game's bitchin' new ride; a Can-Am Spider motorcycle. The Game told us everything about his new "spaceship," then stripped for our cameras, exchanging his white T for TMZ's 'Ding Dang Y'all' shirt! Then, pimptabulous "The Bishop" showed up in his lime green Rolls Royce with a gift for The Game -- one-of-a-kind lime green Emerica sneakers with alligator skin and gold detailing. There's no end to The Bishop's good taste in finery!

The Game generously offered to autograph the shoes -- with his new trademark "TMZ" -- and handed it back to us to auction off for charity! His personalized shoes and autographed t-shirt are now available for bidding on eBay. All of the proceeds will benefit "A Place Called Home," a South Central L.A. non-profit organization dedicated to helping at-risk kids achieve their dreams through educational enrichment. The pimp is on!

2. Emerica shoes are made for skaters, not some rap crap and since were on ther point Im am extremely sick of all the clowns that think they are thugs wearing famous clothes. It was designed by TRAVIS BARKER not some gangster rapper. LEAVE MY CLOTHES ALONE HOODLEMS!!!!!

8. @OPTIQUEST

Can you read....the article said he was on a MOTORCYCLE no a "4 wheel"! And your calling someone else one step behind and idiot...ha that's funny! And who do you see Travis Barker hanging around anyways...hip hop artist so maybe he wants them to endorse his clothes since anything they (hip hop artist) do the white youth seem to copy might just make him more money in the end....think outside of your little box please!

10. How much will you pay me to throw that stuff into the trash can? And to use that stuff to raise funds is so shallow. TMZ is really hurtin'.

11. It would appear that there are a lot more white youth emulating rappers than black youth emulating anything white at all. Could one of you cowardly racists please expain why that is to me before your next statement condemning blacks?

I mean surely such a civilized and sophisticated race couldnt be raising several generations of children with a distinct taste for the lower classes music and culture.

12. I don't care what the article said """CollegeGrads"""". Even if he is showing off his MOTORCYCLE , his play on "what's cool" is laaame!I Try motor sports! I am much more impress with a guy that can do 3 flips and make a perfect landing on one of those things . (don't get your shorts in a knot college grad , just having fun on this one.) But seriously dude , Seriously! I do agree with you about Travis Baker . He is an "entrepreneur " however. Hip-hop and the "dumbing down"of potential consumers is where the money is and hip-hop is providing huge returns now! I think it's not good but monewy trumps all!

13. Typical "African-Americans"--lookin' like some tough guy thugs, who really listens to their rap-crap, goddamn i could just puke when I see you TMZ people praising these creeps!

14. i dont like him. i think his only good song was the one he made with 50 cent (cant quite think of the name right now). at first i thought he was hardcore but then he covered up his little butterfly tattoo with an LA, thats when i started thinking he was fake......

15. travis barker has always been into hip hop just like the red hot chilli peppers. famous clothes is a line endorsed by skaters bmxers hip hop artist motorcycle stunters and people living a higher lifestyle hence the word "FAMOUS" it is not just for skaters. otherwise travis barker would not have all these people endorsing it. check out its website and count all the rappers he hangs with. if you want just for skaters use the mother line of fsas that is called DC. get a clue.

as far as the game goes, i could have sworn he was supposed to be in jail.
