I just listened to "State of Emergency" like 11 times in a row

Game's ability to create bangin new music that sounds like it was from Hip-Hop's golden era but without sounding dated is amazing. Plus everything about this track went perfect: bangin beat, Game using Cube's old flow just a lil updated and hella grimier, and of course angry Cube on the chorus. Game should've got JR to do atleast half the production on the album but ahh well.

Dope song indeed.  Game did Cube's old flow nicely (as well as Nas).

I've had this track in constant rotation since the track came out, one of my favorites off the album.

And you haven't even mentioned the tracks he's done for everybody such as Rick Ross, Plies, and Clyde Carson....I think he's the most slept on in the game right now. Scott Storch had the commercial singles on lock in 04-05, but J.R.'s last two years have been just as strong overall when you listen to what he's done and how diverse he is...he doesn't just depend on one style and milk it like many superproducers do when they start getting business....so you can hear his tracks and say "wait...he did that too? Damn!"

My homeboy caught that he was doin Cube's flow soon as he heard this track...I had to listen for a sec...then I was like damn, that does sound like Cube.

He did Nas TOO good...I KNEW that was Nas on the Chrisette Michelle track...I was like "why doesn't it list Nas on that track, but it does on Letter to the President?" then I heard it again and said oh shit.....that's Game!

the best track on the album... the album kind of sucks though

how does he expect people to listen to this and then turn to "Camera Phone" or "Gentlemens Affair"

I know the concept of making a record with a concept is long gone, but this just does not make sense

you know he could do a whole album that sounds like this but no

I know!  When I first heard "Let Us Live", I was thinking to myself, "Nas has 2 tracks on the album?"  But then I heard it again and i figured out it was Game, lol.
