He’s actually gonna make this happen.

Earlier this month, when MTV News caught up with Game on the set of his “Or Nah” video, he told us there was a chance that The Documentary 2 wouldn’t actually drop in January 2015, like he originally planned — but it looks like things will work out after all.

Since Game is prepping Year of the Wolf, plus that project with Ed Sheeran, he seemed doubtful that his sequel would arrive on time, but a 10-year anniversary only comes around once. He took to Instagram on Thursday night to announce that January 18 is the release date.

“#YearOfTheWolf is finally done,” he wrote of his new Blood Money album, due out in October. “Now on to ‘The Documentary 2′ dropping January 18th…. Exactly 10 years from ‘The Documentary’….. Nobody is f—–g with 2 !!!!!!!!! So don’t drop nowhere near me….. You’ve been warned!”

Sounds like a great anniversary gift.

Ma$e is prepping his latest album Now We Even, and while his recent releases have been more club and radio friendly, he’s taking a break from the jams for some real talk on “Politically Incorrect.”

Following the huge posse cut on “Don’t Shoot,” the Harlem rapper adds his own two cents to the uproar over the shooting deaths of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin.

“Rainy night down in Florida, dispatcher said don’t follow him/ How the hell he end up with the coroners? I don’t get it,” Ma$e spits on the track. “I’m politically incorrect, I’ll never sell my own out for a check/ They say that I’m from generation X/ ADD, n—-s don’t know what I’m gon’ do next.”

“It got me wondering, is Obama gon’ protect his own?” he adds. “Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear all the talk/ But I’m also watching Zimmerman and Wilson walk.”

On “Don’t Shoot,” artists like Game, Wale, Rick Ross, Curren$y, Fabolous and more spoke out about Michael Brown’s death. Proceeds from the song’s sales will be donated to the Michael Brown Memorial Fund.

Bobby Shmurda deserves an award for keeping this song alive for so long. After joining Drake on stage in New Jersey earlier this week, the Brooklyn rapper came through with the official remix for “Hot N—a” featuring Junior Reid, Mavado, Popcaan and Jah X.

There have been multiple unofficial remixes of the track, but you’ve gotta give it up to Shmurda for going full-on reggae with this one. Honestly, the way Lil Wayne bugged out to this one in the club, we’re surprised he didn’t secure a verse for himself on this version.

Watch Bobby judge the Shmoney Dance contest in the video below.

Game made an unexpected appearance as the leading man in Nicki Minaj’s “Pills N Potions” video, and of course it was a pretty great experience for him personally.

When the video dropped, fans on Twitter quizzed Nicki about selecting Game as her love interest, but she didn’t bother explaining too much. He gave us a little more detail, though.

“Nicki reached out and I just happened to be not that far from where she was shooting the video,” Game told MTV News, bending over to show off the top of his head as he added, “So I came through and lent my muscles and my waves.”

We were wondering if they’d formally met and kicked it before the video shoot, which led him to drop more than we’d technically asked for.

“That wasn’t the first time I met Nicki, but that was the first time I was up on that ass though.” Oh yeah? “That ass is soft. I just leaned up against it made my little soldier stand at attention.”

That said, is there any chance they would be working together in the future? “You never know. Nicki is a good friend and a great person. The ass on that ‘Anaconda’ cover is crazy.”

And although Game clearly didn’t appear in the video, he did use it for other purposes. Hit the video above to find out. I’m not gonna write that down.

After being shot multiple times at an unffocial pre-VMA party in Los Angeles, early on Sunday morning, Suge Knight has been released from the hospital.

TMZ reports that the former Death Row Records CEO was discharged from Cedars-Sinai hospital around 6 a.m. on Wednesday after being treated for three days.

Suge was shot six times while attending a party hosted by Chris Brown at LA’s 1Oak nightclub. One bullet hit him in the arm and the other five struck him in the stomach. Two other party-goers were treated for non-life-threatening injuries after the shooting. Other attendees at the high-profile party included Russell Simmons, will.i.am and Game, who had some trouble getting his entourage inside.

Entertainment writer Ryan Downey told MTV News that when the gunshots went off, Chris Brown decided not to get down like everyone else did. “After the shots were fired and everybody hit the deck, he [Brown] jumped back on the table, throwing his arms up,” Downey said.

No suspect has been named in the shooting.

There are so many layers of Nicki Minaj and Drake’s friendship being exposed this month.

After seeing Nicki treat lil’ bro to a lap dance in her “Anaconda” video (and hearing her explain just how uh, excited, he got about it), now it’s time to watch Drake return the favor. Sort of. Nicki took a break from filming on the set of Usher’s “She Came To Give It To You” video to go for a snack run, and Drizzy was treating.

And, going on a snack run with Drake is exactly what you’d imagine it to be. You know, hearing him say things like: “Pick anything you want girl,” “I’m splurging today,” and “your friend want something too?”

Chivalry at its finest.

On Sunday night, Ed Sheeran won Best Male Video for “Sing” at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, although he’s pretty sure that it isn’t one of his best visuals to date. No worries though, because he’s learning some new tricks for an upcoming video. And by “some tricks,” I mean that he’s learning to booty clap.

Shortly before he accepted the moonman for “Sing,” Ed strolled the VMA red carpet with video director Emil Nava, and explained why he was a bit surprised to receive that nomination.

“We actually we had about 15 different plans for it originally, and the last idea was an amalgamation of all of them,” he told MTV News. “We’ve made around seven or eight videos together and it’s a good video, but I wouldn’t say it’s one of our best.”

So what’s in store next? He’s already banked a video for “Don’t” and then he’s got something special in store for “Thinking Out Loud.”

“I’m learning how to booty clap,” Ed revealed, admitting he still has a lot of work to do. “[So far] I can squat and that’s about it.”

His director sounded pretty sure that he could figure out the rest though. “He’s got a dancer going on tour with him everyday, teaching him how to booty clap.”
