The Game, along with Chris Brown, Diddy, Boyz II Men, Polo and Mario Winans already recorded a tribute song honoring Michael Jackson that was released the day after the King of Pop passed away.

Now that track, "Better on the Other Side," has a music video to go along with the lyrics that recount Jackson's influence on the world.

The video features footage of fans mourning the loss of their icon on Thursday evening at the UCLA hospital and at Jackson’s home. Director of the video Taydoe writes that "the footage was so monumental in the sense that everyone was together and enjoying each other's love for MJ."

The mourning fans are then intercut with The Game doing his own private mourning in a candlelit bathtub as well as the artists working in the studio. And then, at the end, The Game reveals the ultimate M.J. tribute—a tattoo of the legend from the fedora-surgical-mask era.

Most likely, this is the first of a number of Jackson tribute videos that may have higher production value. But something about the timeliness and rawness of the footage makes this one especially moving.
