The Game: Camera Phone ft. Ne-Yo (Video)

I'm guessing "Camera Phone" is one of the "awkward romance tracks" that Amos Barshad was referring to in his review of The Game's LAX, as the song is pretty plodding and clumsy. At least the couple of references to Ne-Yo that Game makes make sense-- Ne-Yo sings on the song. If only the name-checks to Mariah, Eve, Ciara, and Trina made sense beyond Game being able to rhyme their names (and them being famous).

The video here is pretty straight-forward-- Game and Ne-Yo hang out in a posh L.A. bar and perform as the entertainment. Game allows people to take pictures on their camera phones throughout the vid, and Ne-Yo commits some grade-A mugging for the camera (he mimes a camera phone way too much for it to be endearing).
