Talk about fast. Lawd. The Game, with assistance from Chris Brown, Diddy, Polow Da Don, Mario Winans, Usher and Boyz II Men, created a tribute song for Michael Jackson.

When Los Angeles based DJ Skee told his good friend, The Game, about the passing of Michael, the rapper was shocked. But once it sunk in, he locked himself in the studio and came out with “Better On The Other Side.”

“After I called Game and told him the news, he put this tribute together and produced this amazing record,” DJ Skee tweeted Friday morning (June 26). “Yesterday I told Game about MJ’s death and he didn’t believe it.”

The new song, which leaked Friday (June 26), featuring Game spitting alongside Chris Brown, Diddy, Polow Da Don, Mario Winans, Usher and Boyz II Men, while DJ Khalid produced the track.

Listen here.

    sure “The Game” is a fan, there isnt an artist out there today that hasnt been influnenced by The King Of Pop and there will never be one to dethrone him

  • goons

    it sounds nice..sad, sad situation..they will many be tributes and this is just the first…MJ RIP and am happy chris is there..he deserves to pay tribute to his idol just like all of us..

    I just don’t understand how people can be so negative in a time when we should be mourning, and paying tribute to a man that made the way for miniorites period. When are we all going to learn. God is not satisfied with all the backbiting and gossip that goes on in this world. This was a beautiful, and well deserved tribute, no matter who was on it. To the Jackson family, God is with you, and he will get you through this. Michael, no matter what you went through, God still loves you, and let this man rest in peace.

  • Tlov

    I love the song. And I am glad Chris is on it too. If we can look past MJ’s issues…we sure can look past Chris’s issue!!!!

    Question: When Kellz passes will we be able to look past his issues they way we ignore MJ’s?

    i’m not crazy about the track but i will certainly buy it so long as the proceeds benefit MJJ’s charities. seriously, NOBODY should be profiting from this tragedy.

    Wow Beautiful song, I Love it, miss u Michael.

  • LDAF

    USHER IS NOT ON THIS TRACK. THE GAME WAS ON THE RADIO AND SAID SO. THEY WANTED HIM TO WAIT AND SEND IT TO WHEREVER USHER WAS (PARIS I THINK?) SO THAT HE COULD GET ON IT, BUT THE GAME SAID “NO.”

    crazy how people say all this bad stuff about people when they are alive……then it all goes away when they die. if a poor dude who couldn’t dance would have played footsie with lil boys on the regular, nobody would care when he died.

  • Ingrid

    This song is a great tribute to MJ RIP

  • lanette

    there will never be enough tributes for MJACKSON. He is beyond Iconic.

  • Tlov

    I love the song. It’s not about making money it’s about showing respect with the craft that God has blessed them with. Yes we could have gone without Diddy on the track lol. But it brought tears to my eyes too.

    2 thumbs up!!!

  • The Ruler

    Its a tribute and people still want to hate,no matter who is on the song it still was nice thing to do. Get a life haters

  • leave-it-be

  • leave-it-be

    _______________ EFF CHRIS BROWN… WHETHER HE ON THE SONG OR NOT DONT WANA SEE HIS FACE ON BET AWARDS SHOW TOMORROW NITE…. THE WHOLE SHOW IS ABOUT MICHAEL AND I DONT WANA SEE A WOMAN BEATER PAYING TRIBUTE TO AN ICON….

  • Daisy

    I like the song

  • SoHeartless

    I love the song. And I am glad Chris is on it too. If we can look past MJ’s issues…we sure can look past Chris’s issue!!!!

    I’m sorry but that is bothering me. You see, MJ was taken advantage of by that family as shown in the court documents/testimony that lead a jury of his peers to conclude that he wasn’t guilty by 10 charges. Chris on the other hand, denied that he was guilty the first time around and it was only when Rhianna was at the last hearing he finally admitted that he was guilty. Think about that as you talk about getting past “issues”.

  • 2hot

    damn usher is that all u????????????????

  • CDip

    They all love Michael Jackson soooo much, I want to know if they are going to donate the proceeds from that tribute to his children.

  • Karen S.

    Tiffybutterfly I totally agree with everything you said in your post—let’s hope BET will get it right and make the show as a tribute to Michael!!! HE DESERVES IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I truly believe if they don’t,that there will be NO MORE BET!!!!!!!!!! I love the song “Better On The Other Side”, brought tears to my eyes but I was smiling while I was crying because I felt Michael’s spirit and I know he’s smiling down on us because it is “better on the other side”. And I know he’s up there with 2Pac, Biggie, Aaliyah, James Brown, Ray Charles, and Left Eye—and they are getting they PARTY ON!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE AND MISS YOU MICHAEL, REST IN PEACE NO ONE CAN HURT YOU ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  • ScorpioQueen

    Great Tribute meant for a King. RIP MJ

  • Keep it Real

    @Soheartless….

    First of all MJ had other issues besides the molesting trial….I dont wanna say now becuase he’s gone and I dont wanna bash him but, WE all know what those issues were.

    and btw the first time he was accused of molestation he settled OUT OF court so we really dont know if he was guilty or not. Honestly, CB made ONE horrrible mistake and people LIKE YOU refuse to forgive him but are so quick to forgive Mike(Rip) with his MANY MANY MANY issues and mistakes throught his career.

    Forgave me but that is total BULLSH*T.

    Dont get me wrong, I love Micheal but dont sit here and act like Mike was an angel and chris is a devil cuz it doesnt fly.

  • Keep it Real

    *CORRECTION*

    I ment to say:

    “forgive me but that is total bullsh*t.”

  • anna

    COSIGN WITH JEWEL!!

    THEY BETTER NOT MAKE A MOCKERY OF OUR BELOVED MJ

  • wifey06

    some thing we should probably leave to the toher folks. we get so caught up in doing something first that we don’t take our time to do it right!!!

    Diddy is an opportunist at all times.
