[Detox Is A Myth!!!]

All you cats disagreeing with me I guess weren't around then,

 
I'm 24.  I've been reading this board for six years now.  I was around.  I remember Big Jake Dogg and the rest, even if I didn't register to the board, I was here.

Post a Game verse from one of his albums that is what you call lyrically nice.

IMO, his best songs are the disses to G-Unit.  He's in his element when he's battling.

All I was saying with that comment about people being around here then is that based on what I gathered in my time here, Game is a well made product for this demographic. I don't need to a post a verse for that to be a valid thought. -T

Dude, that's a lot of writing you've done, and i gotta say that even though i read all of it, i think you're crazy. Game is cool and all, but like everyone else said, his shit is repetitive and he's really not on Pac's or for that matter on many other West coast rappers' level. Yeah, he sells but i think you're taking this shit too seriously. It's just the music business. There's plenty cats who could be selling like game if they had the "perfect" image, which you pointed out correctly

100% Agreed. I love outside the box perspective threads like this.

[swangin and bangin]

damnnn this nigga wrote an essay

[M Dogg™]

Re-reading what I wrote, I made a hint that Game will be the king, and I think that it is true. Game is the perfect representative of the west.

Welcome to the city of G's
Where we eat fried chicken, rice, and black-eyed peas
Fans got us in-the-scope/Interscope, like Jimmy Iovine
Cause we +Ruthless+, like Will before the +Black Eyed Peas+
Fuck all rappers, look at all the hate I see
I'm sick, you can't get rid of me, I'm HIV
Nigga get another job, hip-hop is not hirin
I'm the reason Dre feel comfortable retirin
I just might put out "Detox" myself
Smoke so much, I check in detox myself
One man army, took out Reeboks myself
Fortyfive in my khakis gotta watch my health
I'm so hard nigga, glock 17 quick draw nigga
Like the old me, 17, sippin malt liquor
All black khaki suit, all black Converse
Nigga I'ma keep on stompin comin +Straight Outta+

I have some critisms for him, but at the sametime, I think Snoop is mentoring the kid well. Game is a young king in the making, and unlike anyother king, it looks like the old king is helping the new king. Cube never helped 'Pac, 'Pac was dead and Snoop ran, Snoop cameback, and now is helping Game. Let the kid grow, he is everything we've been asking for. Listen to Doctor's Advocate and tell me his not a throwback to '93 in a updated form. Like Kanye is a throwback to real hip-hop with an updated sound, Game is a throwback to '90-94 westcoast hip-hop, his perfect to lead the west.

I think that games skills are only going to get better and better.  hate it or love it the game is a beast on the mic and can rap without the name drops as much as with them.  Everybody has their own opinion about an artist. YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME CREATING THESE TOPICS AND WRITING THESE LONG ASS COMMENTS ABOUT AN ARTIST.  ITS FUCK EVERYBODY OPINION BUT MINE JUST LIKE IT SHOULD BE FUCK EVERYBODY OPINION BUT YOURS. REAL TALK!

[Sikotic™]

Welcome back. You were always a good poster back in the day.

[Tanjential]

I am with M Dogg's comments, not the dopest ever but a great "leader" in the sense that his King article implies.
game is a throwback, a rap geek. He comes nice too man. I thought that verse that M dogg posted was dope and everything I've heard on his mixtapes is even tighter...and in reference to someone saying:

 "he's really not on Pac's or for that matter on many other West coast rappers' level"

I don't know how one would be on Pac's level...people don't rap like Pac, Pac rap likes Pac but if you're talking skill in the gangsta rap arena  on the west coast than the game is at least on the level of anyone though I will admit he's not necessarily the dopest.

was gonna start a new thread but since it's just more thoughts on game, figured would just bump this one.


Just copped Documentary and like I said about that rap megaman shit, he does that shit with 50 on 'how we do'-takes 50's style and runs with it....however it;s different when he does it with 50...when he does that shit with em, snoop, others it's like homage...with 50 it's like he's exposing how simple 50's shit is because on that song, he takes 50's style and makes it doper than 50 does, probably another reason 50 became negative towards game. Game even says some shit like 'im like killin niggas on they own songs' or soome shit like that.

SEVEN fucking Dre beats? Good God, seriously can someone answer me the following question: when is the last time dre laced someone with 7 beats? DAMN.

The song higher-I was initially disappointed with dre's beat when I was driving listening to the song, it felt simple and dumb. this morning I had the song in the house while I got ready for work and i was hyphy as fuck, realizing it's a club banger and not a ride cruiser....this thread will be my personal journey in learning about game and shit because I'm seeing you guys already went through all the phases  I'm goping through so late cause I just heard about him in the last couple months, more recently even than hearing about mac dre. maybe I'll end up hating him like detoxisnotcoming, btw, what the fuck was detoxisnotcomings name before detoxisnotcoming?
