Game - 'I Almost Formed A Supergroup With Rick Ross & Beanie Sigel'

One of the cuts on Game’s upcoming The R.E.D. Album (August 23rd), “Heavy Artillery,” features Rick Ross and Beanie Sigel, but the three emcees contemplated further collaborations. Speaking with LWW team, the Compton, California native said that the trio considered
calling themselves “ESPN (Everyday
Stacking Paper Niggas)” but that
circumstance stifled the super group’s
formation. “Me, Rick Ross and Beanie Sigel [were
going to call ourselves] ‘ESPN (Everyday
Stacking Paper Niggas),’” he said. “That’s
what it is. We entertained doing a group
before, but then Rick Ross went crazy
with the Maybach Music Group and he signed Meek Mill and all of them. So that reality didn’t come to pass. But that’s
where it was when we did ‘Heavy
Artillery.’ If you can imagine an album
with us three.”
