Rapper The Game Escapes Jail on Battery Charges

There's this rapper called "The Game." What kind of freaking name is that, anyway? Can you imagine his 5-year-old kid at school? "My daddy is The Game."

"What game? Candy Land?"

"No, THE Game."

"Oh, Hungry Hungry Hippos?"

At any rate, The Game - who really does have two sons - is in legal trouble. I know, a rapper in trouble with the law. What will they think of next? Apparently he got in a fist fight with his cousin at a family funeral a few months ago because, you know, rappers are classy that way. They're really like rednecks on the Jerry Springer Show. With more rhythm.

The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, had to go to court over this criminal battery charge. The judge said that Taylor won't have to go to jail if he attends 36 anger management meetings by February. This is probably the way to go for Taylor, since he's currently on parole for a previous gun offense. I KNOW! A rapper with a gun! Crazy.

But anger management classes? What the hell is The Game gonna do for a living after that? I mean, you take the anger out of rap and what are you left with? Reggae?
