VIBE - The Big Review: GAME "The R.E.D. Album"

[RingMan]

Got this from ThisIzGame

The best 20 sec.

"Lost", 1.45: This valiantly honest bonus cut finds Game revealing the reasons behind abhorring his estranged father: " My pops is a pedophile/How you stick your 28-year-old dick in your child/And now how it feel to be 52 and have a son that's a millionaire and he don't fuck with you, Daddy/She was only in the sixth grade/The day i heard her scream, I should've hit you with the switch blade."


Ode to Boyz N The Hood

Game depicts his hard-knock life through the prism of John Singleton's 1991 classic strarring Cuba Gooding Jr. & Ice Cube.

"Ricky": Over stirring sax riffs, layered gunshots and the bellowing cry of "Ricky!" Game references 2Pac as the real life Ricky (Morris Chestnut's goodguy character) whose death prefaced Biggie's.

"Mother's Womb": Dr.Dre narrates the intro to this reflective song for mama, noting that a young Game used to watch Boyz N The Hood and allow his own life to mirror the film's tragic themes


Skippable

"When My Nigga Come Home" - An underwhelming locked-up anthem with a cheesy instructional bridge ("Inhale, inhale/Now blow it out, blow it out") and a sluggish cameo from Snoop attemting to inspire his homies in orange suits.

cant wait for dis to drop

[woof]

same tracklist as the one reviewed by Complex which is an old version of the album now

[amazing25]

They all got some bootleg, promo copy of unfucking finished shit...You really think after putting those Brake Lights Songs Game gonna roll with already released Diamonds?

Skee said Game got lile a million songs, dude cant decide what to put out.


but Lol at Dj Khaled namedrop in the Lost!!!!

 

[BOX5 the best poster on this site yell]

this is not gonna be the album cause i know they had to tweak it some yell

[MrJas]

There's been like 15 versions of R.E.D. going around. I don't think this will be it.

I don't even think Game has finished the album yet.

[Detox Iz Not Active]

I doubt most of those songs will be on the album



when is it supposed to drop anyway?

[Action!]

Some of these tracks will drop for sure.  A lot of it sounds dope.

[Gamestarr]

Dr. Dre narrates the intro on Mother's Womb..

Thats what Game meant when he said Dre's voice would be on there.. 

and those Lost lines were deep man.. Shiit..

It Must Be Me definitely wont be on there.. he just said so in an interview..

[RedMagic213]

please remember me saying this when the album drops...most of the Pharell tracks have been cut from RED...if not all

reason why they released Brake Lights produced by Cool and Dre...they tried to distance the association between Game and Pharell, beat wise that is. The Pharell diss on Street Riders was no accident. He probably still Executive Produce, but dont count on many Pharell beats on RED...

Why though?

[RedMagic213]

because of the negative feedback on the two Pharell singles...those were used to test the waters. Pharell beats are too dated...

[Fonkarround]

Game is like a teenage girl, he change his mind every 5 minutes, so it cant be it, also album wont drop on a date thats set right now.. i can guarantee

[RedMagic213]

he didnt decide this...he is the artist, he makes the tracks...executive producer put the album together for approval by label heads...

and also...would you like some cheese with that whine?? Stop complaining about Game and go download a Crooked I freestyle or something
