Game's Fifth Album - No features, No Namedrops

[Deuce-Deuce]

This past weekend, Game announced that he was already working on the follow-up to The R.E.D. Album, due in stores tomorrow (August 23rd), with 1500 or Nothin' producer Mars. According to the beatsmith, the Compton, California native is taking a different approach with his fifth and final album for Interscope Records, explaining that the LP will be devoid of guest features and name-dropping in Game's rhymes.

"Me and Game was in the studio yesterday," Mars told MTV's Mixtape Daily. "We did two songs. That's coming along crazy. We're going to have no features: It's just him rapping. No name dropping, no little things people say is cliché about Game. It's just putting on the boxing gloves and going for what we know."

Mars, known for his previous production work with T.I. and Nelly, also serves as executive producer on R.E.D., an honor that he didn't see coming. He says that he was given the title because of "[Game] seeing that it wasn't about trying to get however many songs or just going up there and sending beats and just leave like other producers would. I just wanted to be there every day to make sure there's input," he continued. "Even if it was songs I didn't produce, I made sure I was vocal about it. He respected different things I would suggest."

I'd be shocked if this wasn't his worst album.

However the production could be more on point.

Can't hate. This is exactly the kind of album I have felt Game needs to make. I hope it actually comes to fruition and that other artists mightt follow suit.

[Greenbrigade]

I could see there bein no features but he'll find it hard not droppin names.

[Detox Is A Myth!!!]

LOL I guarantee he will name drop and will have plenty of features as well

Exactly.  The label will tell him what to do, and Game will oblige or his album won't drop.  Maybe for his sixth album but not his fifth...

Remember when Snoop was going to do an album with no features...

[7even]

that's just a fantasy. he'd be lucky to have another official album released to begin with.. if 50 is mean, he'll tell jimmy to lock the nigga game up

[GangstaBoogy]

I can see him doing without name dropping, but no features? Nah not gonna happen.

Lmao @ a Game thread with youknowwho being the first to reply

but not with Mars as a producer then. Beats come out dead.

[Smackdog]

he puts everyones name in his mouth.......but no one makes songs mentioning him

I could care less who produces. It would be great to see Game just do an album where he's the one selling the album and relying on his own gifts as an artist. No big name producers, no guest features, and not using name-dropping. I don't know how things will pan out in the end but I'd be intruiged to hear what he came up with.

I can see your point with the namedrops and features (at least some of them) but you don't want big time producers too? what's wrong with that? That's what every artist do, they get the best producers. I think you meant not the "right now" producers, but if you look through the album there's no "right now" producers there either. Don't see your point. Why shouldn't an artist in his position get the best producers whether their big or not? Ain't that what everybody does/want to do?

Yeah he got a few producers on his team but their def not on that level were they can produce a whole album full of quality beats. And then if he works with unknown producers people are gonna complain about the beats too.

Bullshit.
