The Game can be relevant again.

[red]

Yeah, if he'd stop releasing his best works as mixtape material (ie: Make Up Sex, Only One, Monsters among others) and get that big ass Red Star off his face.  <<<my opinion

[doggfather]

well ,if Game sold 5 millionas of copies, then he was somewhat relevant back then, don't you think?

okay, maybe back in 2005, but not before 2005 or after, just 2005.

what about doc's advocate or the albums later?!

[RingMan]

all the albums debuted at number 1, LAX and DA are platinum

[Gamestarr]

LAX didnt ^ Slipknot beat him by 1000 copies or somethin like that.

[Blood$]

Game can be relevant by being Game, by not hopping on trends sounding like other dudes

[dubsmith_nz]

he never was.

Yup, someone who had their first album sell 5 million copies worldwide was never relevant, SMH, you say some retarded shit sometimes.

hamburger make bigg sellings too, but when you talk about quailty food you ani't mention, and ain't sayin hamburger is relavant...

Hamburger? Do you mean McDonalds?

I think the difference between "quality" and "relevance" is getting lost in translation for you.

[Chamillitary Click]

Bottom line, McDonalds is relevant...Game is not.

[Remedy360]

People are taking this way too far...I don't have to tell y'all how successful the Doc was. DA was a step down in that respect but still did very well. LAX was again a step down, but still went gold if I'm not mistaken, and My Life was all over the radio. Now RED was an awful album and a huge failure, but to say he was "never relevant" is a complete joke.

...relevant means sales & popularity. Da fuck?

[Hack Wilson - real]

No he can't. He has the BasedGod curse. Unless Lil B chooses to lift it it is hopeless for this guy

sorry man but Based God was old news a year ago


now it's all about GANGNAM STYLE

yeah, but after a first recount in Soundscan history that Slipknot's label asked for

my bad, relevant means to me he makin new trend/fashion in rap or hip hop, or he's got followers, he has new style of music/flow/vibe whatever new. At least everybody want some feat with him. A track'll be hit because of HIS feat.

Like the beatles or rolling stones in rock. After them nothin can be the same again.

Game ain't do these. He bring back some nostalgic nwa style. (and he ain't the best of that)

In my point he can't be relevant just because of selling 5 or 6 or 10 million cds.

he is mainstream, and he's rich and talented bussinesman (or dre and 50 who discovered him), but not relevant.

I see The Game as someone who was a just a fad and marketing gimmick.
A random rapper Interscope picked up off the streets of California and have him be a sort of "throw back" to the 90's when gangsta rap from Cali was on it's peak. They had him en-body the old cliche parts of the 90's west coast hip hop with his gangsta rap lyrics, features from the usual suspects in Cali and beefs which were all reminiscent of the days that Death Row dominated everything.

Yeah, I agree with this... I don't think he's totally irrelevant or anything, but his burst of fame was due to a lot of things outside of himself--
He had an album with excellent beats first off, then that gangsta image was still the cool thing at the time,
and he had the co-sign of Dre, 50, Em who were all on a roll around that time still...

Without those elements he's an ok rapper with a pretty cool voice, but just him rapping isn't that big a draw, he needs really good beats and the image...

It's not like with Snoop where people say stuff like, "I wish Snoop would start spitting like he did back on Doggystyle"...
Game was never really notable as a lyricist or as someone with an interesting style like Snoop,
he's more someone who got great beats and a cool image at the right time, when that image was the in thing...

i feel the same with 50 cent too, not just Game.
(that's why i said "50 is overrated" in another topic)
