Serious question: Does Game have any classic songs?
« on: July 10, 2011, 04:47:16 PM »
I just skimmed through the tracklistings of his three albums & I honestly didn't see any song that struck me as "classic".

I love his first two albums. But they are just filled with good songs from top to bottom; hence why they're great albums.

I'm talking classic music. I don't think Game has one. "Start From Scratch", "Put You On The Game", etc. just really dope songs to me, but all-time classics? No shot.

Actually now that I think about it, some of my favorite Game tracks come from mixtapes.

Personal classic for me is One Night

No. Many high quality songs, but none that have wide enough recognition to be considered classics.

Hate it or Love it is probably the closest he's got

Mind-boggling truth.

that and 'How We Do' as a pure club joint. funnily enough the beats & 50 make both records for the most part. nothing else really.

Haha, pretty much.  Everyone has their own opinion of what's considered a classic.  That term is used too much.  Fuck what other people say is a classic, like what you like.  If it's your personal classic, then it's a classic to you.

I def think "This is How We Do" and "Hate it or Love It" are classic tracks in most people's eyes. For me, tracks like "Da Shit", "Letter to The King", "Angel", "Going in For The Kill" and "This Way" are personal classics.

I'm not convinced he's hit his prime yet when it comes to releasing dope music. With the stuff I've heard Pharrell, Diddy, Snoop, Cool and Dre, and other people say about RED, I'm hoping the best is yet to come.

I mean, I have no right to say what is & isn't classic to individuals. If it's classic to you, I'm not gunna say it isn't to you.

As for how most Hip Hop fans view it? I don't hear many people talk about how great that song is just out of Game's discography, let alone Hip Hop history.

Second person to stamp "hater" & not even name me a classic. Is it because it upsets you Game doesn't have a classic & trying to belittle the person questioning it makes it better? :eh:

Let's say I was the biggest Game hater on the planet, would it change the fact he probably doesn't have a classic song?

Think about it, if I was a Tupac or Eminem hater & made this thread "out of hate", there would be 200 people in here just dropping classics. I think I'm raising an interesting question, regardless of my personal thoughts on Game.

Oh, you didn't get what I wrote?  I could name off quite a few.  But the fact of the matter is, you will just say it's not.  So what's the point?
