The Game has announced that his upcoming album The Documentary 2 (which sounds fire so far) will be a double album on his Instagram today. Even though preorders for the album went up a few days ago on iTunes, he described the thought process behind the decision as well as the social commentary displayed on the CD artwork in a lengthy Instagram post below:

Proud to announce to my fans the REASON it took so long to get this album to you... Because it's a MOTHAFUCKIN' "DOUBLE DISC" !!!!! In a world where labels punk artists to keep their albums down to 10-12 songs... I don't give a fuck so because 2 of my favorite artists in 2Pac & Notorious B.I.G. put out dope double albums... I figured 10 years into an iconic career I'd give my fans the opportunity to have one from me...... The reason one is a red bandana & a blue bandana is to bring awareness to the "100 Days 100 Nights" & on going Crip & Blood epidemic that has plagued my city recently & in the past.... & really explained to the world how things like this occur & have occurred since 1970 when gang bangin' was created in Los Angeles & its surrounding cities & hoods..... The albums are very lyrical & descriptive as well as dope production wise & Dr. Dre approved..... This is AFTERMATH !!! & I cannot wait til you guys get these albums... Disc one is available now for pre-order just CLICK THE LINK in my bio.... & will drop October 9th in stores & on iTunes..... Disc 2 will be available shortly & will drop in stores & on iTunes the following week on October 16th !!!!!! I put everything I had into making this album #CLASSIC & I appreciate you guys for the love & support & definitely your patience with me completing this album - The Game #TheDocumentary2
