listen to Can't Figure It Out & name me a deeper song Game has ever tried to make; that's three Game albums against one song of a Bishop Lamont mixtape.

i don't know about deeper, but i think it could be argued that Game's "My Love For You" is just as deep

that shit is deep, same level; but my point is, Game has three albums & a bunch of mixtapes & has just showed a few shades of this "deep music".

Start From Scratch, One Night, Ole Enlgish, Why You Hate The Game, Doctor's Advocate, Letter To King and that new track Better Days are all better than Can't Figure It Out. Bishop is not better than Game lyrically (about the same) plus his delivery is not on the same level. And all these mentioned tracks  + Can't Figure It Out are great tracks imo but there's that small factor of delivery that nudges the advantage to Game.

Take away Start From Scratch because it's a remake of a MASE song featuring shyne, loon, and another artist.

One Night wasn't written by Game.  It was done by some R&B artist.  I had his myspace page for a minute but I lost it.

Doctor's Advocate = remake of Start From Scratch ... though it's dope so I give him this one

Letters to the King is a fucking joke.  
Quote
The word nigger is nothing like nigga / like game like jigga
 Game is dumb for this one.  Such a fucking stupid track ruined by that and Rihanna's pointless name dropping (though since she got beat which is purely coincidental it does apply - funny how things work out)


So, you got Ole English which reminds me of another classic west coast track that's escaping me right now and Why You Hate The Game (which isn't even deep but still dope).  

Edit:

Though, I love Game tracks like Bang Along & his verse of Tyrese's Ghetto Dayz

Quote
Truth is I ran way when I was 5 years old
Ran til my And 1's had holes in the soles
I had 3 silk shirts, 2 pairs of jebose
Spent the night at boo's house, we was sharin his clothes
Moms left me out in the cold
Worst that that my man took 5 shots and aint lose his soul
I was livin w/ a blind man's vision
And no matter how hard I tried, I could never see prison
And to all my dead homies, we don't pour rout liquor
We just poke our chests out, and say we miss ya niggas
We was scared of gang bangers, walked to school in groups
Argued who was the best MC, Ice Cube or Snoop
Damn, I miss my ghetto dayz
Whether it was Coca Cola or straight coke
We found a way
Hey and the memories of EZ and Pac
California we all we got

Both of that shit reveals the true Game, the one that's not some fake wanna be gang banger

Double Edit:

I agree Game's a better vocalist but I think Bishop is the better more creative lyricists who doesn't rely on a crutch, name dropping.  Though, I do think Game has it in him to move on from that crutch and establish himself as more prominent original MC.

Cool breeze; I'm hopping out of new Beams
My outfit ran me a few G's but none of that will matter if you leave
I used to be an Adam with two Eves and shawtys automatically do me
Excuse me, all that happened before you doesn't matter
I'm a vision of the future climbing the success ladder
Recline, in the mean time, twenty three shine, diamond bling blind as I rewind
- Banks

i can't count Doctor's Advocate as a "deep song", it's just him whining that he doesn't have Dre.

i still like it, but it's far from sending an actual message.

lol NO WAY. say what you want about the delivery, but Bishop is much more lyrical than Game

loll i gotta agree, Bishop touches more sensitive matters ... but i will admit that One Night is tight, i always liked it and he spits real shit about friends falling out ..

On a side note, I can't figure it out is mad dope, the voice on the hook, the instrumental (thanks to khalil 8) ) everything, just  perfect.
