Excited to hear the album. dont know what to expect though..

two tracks more . 1 with lupe & 1 with jay electronica & nas




Some songs might get scrapped and some added.. but that is the tracklist for now ^





edit: .. HERE IS WHAT COMPLEX SAID ABOUT THE DRE PRODUCED TRACK!

"Dead People"
Produced By: Dr.Dre
Complex says: Dre laces Game with a beat that sounds like it was left off 50 Cent's The Massacre (in the same vein of "I'm Supposed To Die Tonight"), and Jayceon takes the opportunity to steal 50's style, even sounding like him on the hook (a stashed joint he wrote, maybe?). Granted, he writes from an interesting perspective—at one point he goes into the POV of a bullet like Nas' "I Gave You Power"—but it stills come off as an odd fantasy about murder.

from that list it doesn't sound like it will be a very good at all. maybe better than LAX, which was average, but maybe not. 1 dre track? that's even less than 50 got for BISD. what happened to the track with snoop and dre? the one with ashanti? and WHITE SOFT PORN? and that other joint with 1500...

game is about to score a fail with this one. my interest/anticipation on a scale of 1-10 went from a 2 to a 8 back down to a 2 again. game should just work with dj quik. he's an interscope whore.

Y'all should know that Complex is notorious for sucking off Lil Wayne & Drake.. so they're probably not the best people to review a gangsta rap album.. But we'll see what this will be like. I don't think that will be the final tracklist..

FAIL

All that talk about Dre being heavily involve (already exposed on that) Dre doing most. Back on the math (which he not) wow this guy is the next to Rick Ross on the fraud tip.
40 Glocc might have more Dre track than this cat on his next LP. lol

Interesting.... it is a rough version and Game's shit usually changes a lot so we'll see how things turn out but I am definitely hoping for at least 3 Dre tracks. Cut out the Beanie & Ross track, Diamonds and add Dre tracks & Jay Elec and Nas joint and then we're talking.

Cant wait to hear Roll My Shit & When My Nigga Come Home .

Think it will be a good album. His worst though.

 Not trying to make excuses for this album because maybe it won't be good.  But on the other hand, if this is just a rough version of the album, who knows if it even includes all of the same songs that appear on the final version.  I specifically remember Game mentioning a Dr. Dre verse on the album, so right away I'm a little suspicious that this album is not a complete representation of what the final album will be.

Complex.com got a chance to check a rough version of Game’s upcoming release, The Red Album, that’s slated to drop July 29th. Although he had a variety of producers on The Red Room mixtape that just dropped, as we feared, the album itself is dominated by Pharrell, who’s also executive producing the project. We’d have been all for it if it was Skateboard P bringing that Lord Willin’ murda music—but here it’s more of the underwhelming “Unless You’re The Clipse, Give Me Half Your Budget And I’ll Give You A Throwaway Beat” P of the last few years. At least after a few years of being estranged, Game has reunited with Dr. Dre. It’s also worth noting that the version we heard is missing two tracks: one rumored to feature Lupe Fiasco, and the other supposedly with assists from Jay Electronica and Nas. Get an idea of what The Red Album will sound like with Complex’s track-by-track breakdown.

“Infared”
Produced By: Cool & Dre
Complex says: The Compton rapper’s forays into name-dropping have recently been hit or miss, but over Cool & Dre’s 70s funk-jazz-influenced instrumental, the album’s intro is a major hit. Game drops attention-grabbing lines (“Will I ever go at Nas? Hell nah! / Will I ever go at Jay-Z? I don’t know”) and doesn’t waste a second spewing his fully automatic braggadocio. It’s an instant head-nodding banger for a kickoff.

“Ricky”
Produced By DJ Khalil
Complex says: As the title implies, it’s a reference to Morris Chestnut’s character in John Singleton’s debut film Boyz N The Hood. A saxophone intro trails up to the congo drums in the backdrop, and the track leads off as a cautionary tale about ‘hood violence—but quickly veers off into Game sucking himself off about how he remains victorious in front of gun claps. Gunshot sound effects, paired with the chanted shout of “Ricky!” make this one memorable…for its repetitiveness.

“Good, Bad, Ugly”
Produced By: Hit Boy
Complex says: Grimy keys and dark drums play the backdrop for a storytelling joint. The saga begins with the former drug dealer getting ambushed by several hostile guests with heaters, then segues to a scene where two detectives question the injured rapper. Game skillfully flips the tone of his voice, and weaves an entertaining verse when he refuses to cooperate, instead spinning out a story that’s different from what actually went down. Straight gangsta shit.

“Heavy Artillery” f/ Beanie Sigel and Rick Ross
Produced By: Street Runner
Complex says: The three self-claimed gangsters flex gun talk, murder, and their own craziness. Game even compares himself to Marshall Mathers (“Eminem ain’t Dr. Dre’s only sick nigga”).

“Diamonds” f/ Robin Thicke
Produced By: Phonix
Complex says: The version we heard featured an up-and-coming talent named K-Young, though we were told that the infectious hook would be re-sung by Robin Thicke (for the record, we didn’t mind the version with K-Young on the reference).

“It Must Be Me” f/ Pharrell
Produced By: Pharrell
Complex says: Certified 2002 club banger!!! We had no idea P had a Delorean.

“Ain’t No Doubt About It” f/ Justin Timberlake
Produced By: Pharrell
Complex says: Justified x In My Mind x Game sounding a little uncomfortable with the terrycloth-soft vibe of the track. Nothing much else to say. *shrug*

“Mother’s Womb” f/ Nelly Furtado
Produced By: Pharrell
Complex says: The title’s kind of gross, right? Doesn’t sound so hot, either. Game waxes poetic about all the gangsta shit he’s been up to since he’s left his mother’s womb. What better way to do that than have Nelly Furtado ride shotgun? FOH. Skateboard P brings those Neptunes key patterns that sound like a throwback to his early chart-toppers, which is both a good and bad thing. The mix we heard was rough, but Furtado’s vocals sounded good.

“She’ll Look Good To Me”
Produced By: Pharrell
Complex says: This one is all about bakin’ pies with a college chick. But not for her culinary class. As long as they’re of age, we always co-sign corrupting co-eds.

“When My Nigga Come Home” f/ Snoop Dogg
Produced By: Pharrell
Complex says: Game heads to the strip club with a close friend fresh out the joint. Pharrell provides the soundtrack for the celebration with a mix of luscious synth waves and deep, hard-hitting drums. Snoop name-drops plenty of fellow Crips, but in that nice and smooth way that doesn’t offend middle America to the point that they’ll revoke sponsorships.

“Dead People”
Produced By: Dr.Dre
Complex says: Dre laces Game with a beat that sounds like it was left off 50 Cent’s The Massacre (in the same vein of “I’m Supposed To Die Tonight”), and Jayceon takes the opportunity to steal 50’s style, even sounding like him on the hook (a stashed joint he wrote, maybe?). Granted, he writes from an interesting perspective—at one point he goes into the POV of a bullet like Nas’ “I Gave You Power”—but it stills come off as an odd fantasy about murder.

“It Must Be Tough” f/ Pharrell
Produced By: Pharrell
Complex says: Even though this was clearly unmixed and still has some reference vocals on it, it’s still one of the clear highlights of the album. Typical baller shit we’ve heard before, but Pharrell stunts on another level and absolutely dominates on the ad-libs and the hooks. There’s synths galore and heavy 808s that build back and forth (from low volume to high), and Game delivers a solid third verse.

“Roll My Shit” f/ Snoop Dogg
Produced By: Pharrell
Complex says: Some real G-shit, straight up and down. Game and Snoop are clearly in their element on this one. Pharrell brings his best Dr. Dre impression by using light, wavy synths reminiscent of The Chronic.

“Lost Ones” f/ K-young
Produced By: Cool & Dre
Complex says: Bonus cut that focuses on really dark themes of death and the molestation of his sister by his father. Fooled you, right? You thought it was some diss to Jigga, right?

Doesnt look too bad, def excited to hear the album.
but hope there are more tracks.
