Thoughts on the Game from someone who just learned about him

[sonofisis]

i dont read fuckin novels on the internet or in real life for that matter

That nigga types too much about bullshit.. Takes your thoughts to the Train of Thought forum nigga.

[Tanjential]

I'm talking about west coast rap in the west coast rap forum. No one is making you read jack shit, this ain't fuckin' school. All right, nigga? it's hard to capture that elusive illiterate coolness when you're typing homey.

what do you mean by realer shit, NIK?

Not a criticism, just trying to keep the discussion moving. Cause if you mean moving away from commercial shit, yeah I feel you, i'm into a lot of non commercial music too but to me it's still important to have a dope rapper repping for the legacy just like sports teams is important to a lot of other people. I don't care if LA has a sick basketball team, but I better have an MC I can say reps my state well and succesfully, you know?

I think it's more important fo most thatr the Lakers to be succesful like they are, than to have a succesful rapper but that's just my opinion...

[Tanjential]

that's sports people, and that's cool. but i'm an art person, so this is my thing.

I think it's great that we got an artist like Game reppin' for us, who talks about the same OG shit we grew up on and pretty much is trying to resurrect the west and its sound. but at the same time, like you said, he's too fabricated, like a creation of some sort, too made up...MY shit is the real shit, the music that's not trying too hard to do something, the picture that paints itself, not the picture that gets painted...I dunno if that makes any sense to you, but like I said, I'm not againts Game or anything, I'll even bump his shit, because I think a lot of it is pretty good. But at the same time, he's nothing amazing, like a 2Pac, or a Biggie, or an artist who just did what they did and blew up off of that, rather than did what they were supposed to in order to blow up...But yea, if you like Game and he's your shit, I can totally respect that, but that's not the shit you'll find me bumpin' on a regular basis...PeACe

[Tanjential]

I feel you. But I mean....he's one of the dude's i'll bump because he's one of the only sick dudes on the west droppin albums! If there was more cats droppin' albums on the west he wouldn't be such a big deal. and if everyone would support more doors would be opened for the rest of the west so I'm saying he's a good thing that needs to be supported.  -T

There's a lot of west coast shit you haven't heard that's really dope...Believe it or not, even some shit coming out nowadays from the west coast underground is really good...You just have to dig deep.

[Tanjential]

exactly, but there's a lot of dope music period if you dig deep. i'm not trying to dig deep. i'm trying to mob to best buy and cope some heat up the street.
