DA > DocDA is a more cohesive album, Doc was all over the place with the sound. DA sounds all West Coast except for maybe "Wouldn't Get Far" and "Why You Hate The Game" but they still fit the feel of the album. The concept, although stannish, behind the album also gives DA a direction. Doc is a great album too though not taking anything away from it.
I guess everyone has their reason as to why they do not like Game. That comes with the fame and fortune. Mo Money Mo Problems. 1 factor that Game did have on his side on his 2nd album is the fact that he did have the support of alot of heavy hitters on the west (especially Snoop, if he would not co sign Game, that would have been damaging). If he would not have had that along with all the other beefs he had going on, I don't know how effective the album would be. Not to say that the guests carry the album, it just would not justify him saying he is bringing the west back as much.

But yeah, you speak real.-T
Quote from: Tanjibility on January 01, 2007, 06:59:41 PMtruth. he improved miles on DA.-Thaha yeah right . Maybe he proved something to you, but music wise, its just the same old predictible Game. DA, 3.5/5, the Doc 4/5. The thing I don't like about this album is, its a cookie cutter album. The producers send him the beats, the features send him the vocals, and then he puts vocals on top. I would've liked if Game, Xzibit and Snoop got together in a room with JR and wrote/produced a track. But its not like that. Theirs no music collaberation, I bet Game never even met face to face half the producers he put on the album.Rappers need to get back to the old days, go into the studio with one or two producers, and work and calloborate and make an album. Its not like Game and Xzibit sat together and wrote/rapped together to the beat. Its not very imaginative or exciting. It doesn't go together. Rappers need to collaborate in person.
truth. he improved miles on DA.-T
I agree but again who is saying that he did not collaborate in the studio with these artists. He said he was in the studio with Nas, Busta, X. The was in the studio with Just Blaze. Maybe I am missing something here.

The was in the studio with Just Blaze. Maybe I am missing something here.I base most of what i was saying on the production although i didn't fully state that. When you listen to his songs, they go verse/chorus/verse/chorus all the way to the end. There's really no breakdowns or anything to grab your atterntion to change the song up at all. Not to mention his lyrical content seems to run short quite fast. I think DA is one of my favorite albums to bump this year, possibly my favorite west coast album since Quik's last, which to this day i think can't be fucked with.Fuck it, on that note. That's a perfect example of what a well thought out album is. Dj Quik's Trauma. Although yall may or may not have liked it, everybody was on the same page when writing the tracks. I even marked out when i heard how dope and hungry Chingy sounded on the4 track he did with Quik, and i can't stand Chingy. Quik sits down and writes music from scratch and is there during the whole recording process of songs. That's why his albums flow so well and everyone sounds like they're on the same page. Pick through any one of his albums, it sounds like everyone involved was in the same room while that album was being made. And that dates from 1991-2005,chill

It's funny you said Quik because after Game was not working with Dre I wanted Quik to do executive production for Game. I think the album does have a good flow and vibe to it. It could be better but I think also that comes from the fact he does not have that musical director like a Dre or Quik putting his album together either. So for Game, it is probably just easier to get the tracks and rap over them, but other producers you want to sit down and make it from stratch. Some songs had that feel, others did not.
