While rumors were swirling around whether The Game had been released from prison or not last week, Game was busy heading straight to the studio to record his new single "Big Dreams" with Cool & Dre.
By the end of the weekend, the track was recorded, mixed and leaked onto the internet.
"Right now, he's like 'Pac," Dre told MTV News. "It's like when 'Pac came outta prison and did 'California Love' that same night. Lyrically, he's somewhere else right now."
With the uncertainty of how long his prison stay would be, Game let the producing know to be ready.
"When he was going to jail ... he said he didn't know how long he's gonna be going in for," Dre explained. "But he was like, 'When I come out, I'm ready to go.' So the day he got out, we got the phone call, like, 'Yo, come to L.A. right now.' So me and Cool jumped on the plane."
Dre feels "Big Dreams" has a chance to become as big as "Hate It or Love It," both Game and Cool & Dre's biggest hit to date.
"Me and Cool have a really good relationship with him, being as that we both share our biggest record together," he said. " 'Hate It or Love It' is the biggest record Cool and I ever produced, and that happens to be Game's biggest record, so we've always been close.
""Big Dreams" is one of the most amazing records that I can honestly say that me and Cool have been a part of," Dre continued. "It's a phenomenal record. It's very inspirational. It's gonna be big in the streets, but it's gonna be big all across the board. I feel like 'Hate It or Love It' was such an inspirational record that a lot of people didn't see coming. And this has the same feel as far as how it makes you feel, but it's gonna inspire the sh-- outta everybody. It's one of those records — his performance, his delivery, he's lyrically on a level that I can't even compare anyone to. He stepped it up to a notch that's amazing. He definitely has a new passion. And the f---ing record is gonna really, really destroy."
