JUDGE M RESPONDS TO THE 50 CENT VIDEO GAME CONTROVERSY
11-11-2005
Video Game Programmer, DJ and rapper Judge M had everything positive
going
for him Experience as a childhood video game programming prodigy, a
reputation for awesome mix tapes produced under his pseudonym DJ Wigga
and,
to make everything positively complete, a new rap CD release under the
Judge
M name: Ghetto Quality.
Judge M was at the top of all of his games and should have been
positioned
to step into the role as Master Video Programmer and the go-to man for
Hip
Hop stars video game creation. But professional betrayal derailed the
dream
that would have made Judge M the Lead Programmer on 50 Cents brand new
video game. The 50 Cent video game comes out on November 15th, timed to
coincide with his new film and movie soundtrack and Judge M was left
out of
the project.
Now Judge M, who is a huge 50 Cent fan and Ice T devotee, doesnt have
a
beef with 50. His issue is with being so close to his dream project
a
major Hip Hop artists video game and having it slip away with former
colleagues and coworkers absconding it. Judge M allows that there is no
legal opportunity to prosecute a missed opportunity. And Judge M
isnt
taking the fact that people and situations kept him from working on
50s
game this injustice sitting down. But, Judge M isnt going criminal
on
his enemies. Judge M, the first video game
programmer/developer/designer/producer/director to have his own rap
persona,
is taking it to a place where he can really compete: His own flash game
Genuine LIARZ.
Judge M, the game-programming, DJ-ing, rapping phenom, whose own music
is
hardcore not geeky and who had his first album Ghetto Quality in
2004,
is directing his attentions to the sights, sounds and action of his
flash
game Genuine LIARZ. That game, coincidentally, alludes to some of the
issues
that first angered him, then convinced him, that the next 50 Cent, Ice
T or
other major rap artists video game would be created only under his
supervision.
And the next time that Judge M works on a video game programming team,
he
ll be watching his back and keeping an eye on people who hone their
skills
with his expertise, then head for the closest exit. Next time, hell
remember those fateful warnings written on the walls in his very own
Genuine
LIARZ game: "Note To Workers: Please Cover Up All Code. Do Not Say
the
Name Judge M Ever, etc.
But, despite the fact that the guys who got the 50 Cent contract opened
shop
in Judge Ms own hometown, Judge isnt bitter. Asked if he had a
message for
the perpetrators, he answered: Tell them this, payback my paycheck
now or
pay the pied piper in the future. Oh yeah, and if you want to get the
4-1-1
on the story, check out (his) flash game Genuine LIARZ.
