Release and Promotion
The album was pushed back to June 24, which would have had the album in competition with G-Unit's second album, but was later changed to July 8, as Interscope Records moved both albums. On June 8, it was announced that LAX would be pushed back a week later to July 15, the same release date as Nas' Untitled. LAX had then been pushed back another week to July 22, and finally to August 26. On May 1, The Game told Power 106 that "Big Dreams" might not be on the album.
On August 6, 2008 iTunes revealed some information on the album via the iTunes Store. They confirmed the DJ Toomp produced track "House of Pain" would be the fourth single. They had also revealed that the standard edition would have fourteen tracks with one bonus track and the "deluxe edition" would have 18 tracks and one additional bonus track. On August 10, 2008 The Game told Friday Night Flavas that he would be dropping two mixtapes; "Superman", featuring all original tracks, which did not appear on the album, in a week and a half and "You Know What It Is Vol. 5" after the album. He also blamed DJ Haze for the leak of the Just Blaze produced track "Superman".

Famous quotes containing the words release and/or promotion:
“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
