If you like Nas then yeah most likely you will like Bishop Lamont.
Yeah. I made that comment. I really don't care. Just how I view things. I understand others won't agree.I actually used to be a big Game fan until I started reviewing my musical roots and realized he was more of an imitation than the real thing. I understand he tries to pay homage but it just comes across as him being unoriginal. When he does homage right like Game's Pain I think it's dope but when he remakes someone else tracks (My Bitch or Start From Scratch) it's just disappointing (even when I think both are good and I do he doesn't deserve the credit). He's entertaining for sure but it's not the same when it's the real deal. Hence, I appreciate Bishop Lamont who I think tries to be original and fresh even if his vocals aren't top notch. As for Game, I'm a casual listener that stays up to date on his moves. Even if LAX was a disappointment, most artist make one or two bad albums.

I don't think it's fair to compare Bishop and Games career since obviously things were completely different in 04. Back then you had record labels investing in new artist from left to right, nowadays they're scared, calculated and basically won't push an artist unless he has that number 1 single. It's not just the westcoast, it's also eastcoast and if they do get to release an album, they flop like crazy. Now bare in mind that in those golden times, Game was on the verge of being dropped from Interscope, with no vocal/public support from Dre whatsoever until 50 stepped into the picture. They started working the mixtape market, exposed him to the NY region... and only then has Dre appeared with Game & 50 on 106 & Park, had that photo shoot in Compton... I'm not taking anything from Game music wise because you need to have the talent to back it up and he has proved that with his 3 albums (for the record I enjoy LAX, I actually look it as his "Massacre"). The point I'm making is that people need to stop acting like Game was some big project from Interscope and Dre before 50 stepped up and thus comparing it to Bishops "old ass".And btw yes Bishop doesn't have an official album out but the stuff from the album we've heard with Dre were great imo; Grow Up and Hallelujah. BTW Lyrical G I'm still waiting to hear your opinion on this track.
