you don't consider "The good, bad & the ugly" a bumpable track?

[wcsoldier]

Game flow on this track puts me to sleep

[dj Hurricane]

No point in hating on the album he had given 3/4 Dope mixtapes over the last year make up your own track list a cd's with what ever songs you like Support the west 

[Hatesrats™]

Been a fan of Game since he first came out...
It's a shame he don't have his "OWN" style & decides on mimicking other rapper's.
(You can hear it & it's rather embarrassing when he does it, IMO)

The name dropping get's repetitive & constant Jay-Z references is boring az fuck.
I don't know about you all but this album has ZERO replay value to ME.

defo worst album of his disco sofar.

[Blood$]

this album is still bangin' throughout with the exception of tracks 13 & 14

"Ricky" sounds just ridiculous in the whip

[jeanmiche777]

listened to the album a lot last week, and I have to say it is really bad. His worst album by far, and even the best tracks are not that good.

I only like Ricky and Born in tha Trap.

Everything else is bad or really really bad. I'm giving this 2/10, dissapointment of the year so far. And don't get me wrong, I'm not a ''hater'', I'm a big fan of game, I always liked his ear for beats and the way he could create a complete album that sounded good. On DA and Documentary I'd never skip a song, DA is a personal classic.

But man, I just can't understand anyone claiming this is a good album. Game can do muchhhhhh better.

Gave it at least 5 spins so far and I've come to the conclusion that this is the worst Game album (right behind LAX).  Same ol' boring flow and gangsta rap subjects heard over and over and over.  The Game is irrelevant in music to me right now.  Someone didn't give Game the memo that gangsta rap died years ago.  Only highlight on this album to me was Kendrick.  I was looking forward to Tyler's verse, but it was disappointing to say the least.  Beats were complete trash, aside from a handful of decent, at best, beats (The City, Martians & Goblins, Heavy Artillery, Born In The Trap).  Ricky had the best production, but here we go again with the same ol' boys in the hood stories we've heard since the early 90's.  Blah blah blah.  The whole ironic thing to me about the Game right now is that he thinks Lil B is the worst rapper out, but Im Gay is light years ahead of RED.  Game lost and is now in the same irrelevant place in hip-hop as 50 cent.

What a horrible/average end to the album, I enjoy 2 of the last 9 tracks (speakers on blast & born in the trap)

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

I think I appreciate the good songs on this album more than others because I went in expecting nothing out of this. Tracks I'm keeping:

The City
Martians vs. Goblins
Good Girls Go Bad
Ricky
Pot of Gold
All I Know
Born in the Trap
Mama Knows

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

Really don't understand why some people like Speakers on Blast. It's got the most generic attempt at a southern beat possible with that godawful and played out "hey" clap everywhere.

[Dre-Day]

i like it.

why do you like Pot of gold? i thought you hated I need a doctor: similar sound

[Jay_J]

im surprised that nobody said this album sounds "too east coast"!!!! yet

when it comes to my favourite songs on the album are;

The City
Drug Test (dre is still the king of the west coast)
Martians vs Goblins
Good Girls Gone Bad (i'd like to hear Jay-Z on it)
The Good The Bad The Ugly

[Greenbrigade]

After a few more listens i still say this is better than LAX. Still not feelin Hello, All The Way Gone or Mama Knows.

[Quadruple OG]

enough with "your ideal" tracklists!

Unfortunately when you have a guy leak 3-4 mixtapes that exceed his studio album, it's gonna happen. If/when Hangover leaks I'm probably gonna make my own version of RED
