What does The Book Of David have to do with a RED ALBUM discussion thread?

Matty said it was 100 times better than RED.

That is his opinion so what's the problem?

its relevance is comparing it to the quality of the best west coast release this year :monkey:

RED album is reasonable-ish but the final tracklist was probably hand picked or filtered down heavily by jimmy and co. and it shows.

Game and Khalil both did they're thing on ricky. Game killed that shit.

Tracks 1-10. No real disappointment. Shits on LAX some great concepts.

Tracks 13-15. Is everyone's problem. That's where the label forces the major artists to make a couple tracks for the women. Everyone here just wants gangsta shit/g funk. If you got your girl. Play those tracks.

Real good album from game. LAX pt. 2? No It's The Red Album. Holds its own. Its about the most universal so it can be compared to The Documentary in the long run. The Documentary>DA>=RED>>>LAX

First thoughts after listening a couple of times:

Very inconsistent album, 8-10 dope/good tracks, 4 unnecessary Dre-skits, 7-8 filler/weak tracks.
Too many redundant features, Lil Wayne, Drake, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Lloyd, Mario, Wale, Lu Breeze, didn't really add anything to the album..
Lil Wayne only contributed to ruin the hooks on 2 tracks with crackhead mumbling.. label politics features = boo.. look to Watch The Throne to see how it could be done.

I'm gonna take the 10 best tracks, and add the 8-10 best leaked tracks and mixtape tracks.
With all the leaked material I can make "R.E.D. Album" and "R.E.D. Album 2", both sounding better than the retail version.  8)

Does anyone think the background music in the Dre interludes is what he's been workin' on for the Planets album?

No way, i know it kinda sounds like space shit. It's a very basic strum/sound effect and does not advance after the first skit and it's probably not even produced by Dre.

You know the skits are 100% ghost written too for Dre.

Andre is busy collecting material from others for his own tribute album.
The 'Planets' album we wont hear for years/Next decade, that's if we ever hear it just like his : 'Ghetto Metal', 'Helter Skelter', 'Not These Niggas Again' albums promised in interviews etc...

album of the year no doubt, the west is back :raisetheroof:

really?!?!
nah, its a joke, like games stans ;)
I don't know why songs like The Ocean, Soft Rhodes, Monsters In My Head, Keeping It Real and a bunch more from all the mixtapes he dropped in the past 2 years didn't make it over some of the average mixtape tracks on here. I understand the poppy mainstream tracks, but theres way too much filler on here.
you like soft rodes? i think its decent at best.

i see people defending game's first two albums as a means of deflecting criticism from this one. it's obvious really fast that this falls behind his first two albums, whether they were just good, great or classic, whatever. its about as good as LAX. some enjoyable stuff but generic mainstream vibes for the most part. i thought LAX was pretty average and right now a little more enjoyable than this one. tracks i like the goblins one has a dope beat, ricky is epic, mama knows is actually real chill. but the dre involvement is a complete waste of time and that drug test joint is terrible, what were they thinking?

and i'm not a hater. game fans are real quick to call out anyone and everyone as haters. book of david is 100 times better than this shit, real talk :laugh: 8)
come on man, dre made the album like a movie :laugh:
