theme is cohesive, beats are bangin...album is solid. better than i expected.game, as a rapper, is very confused. his best assets are 1.his ear for beats 2.his strong voice+mic presence and 3.his immense ability to mimic other rappers. the dickriding, again, is excessive (yet entertaining). the biggest knock is that he has no signature style of his own..maybe the style on "see no evil", since thats throwback game flow. but even that is an impression of shyne. too many different impressions on one album for this to be on the level of "documentary" or "doctors advocate"....also, another album with no regional sound. that said, some tracks on here bump and the concept factor makes it an interesting spin. 7/10
I thought that was Hitman? Or Slim Da Mobsta? Or Bishop Lamont?

Some people are "gangsta rappers" or whatever, Game is a "rap fan rapper".very true...but it makes him come off as more of an entertainer than an actual emcee.

Dude even stated he ripped of Nas rhymes and made em his rhymes, now it's funny because Eminem got a shit ton of flack for sounding like em on his demo, but Game hasn't gotten the same thing, Despite the fact he clearly has no distinction except the Name dropping, which isn't good. Think about it, G-Unit had molded his persona and style into a West Coast Rapper, which after he left stuck too, however by L.A.X. you can clearly see dude isn't truly anything special and that his first two albums were essentially sold off production, Hell his second album the 1 thing you saw in all his reviews, aside from criticizing the name dropping, was talking about how the Production is either equal or better then his Debut. By time Red came out he adopted Wiz Khalifas style (Dying his hair red like a fag) and copying what ever was selling or getting good reviews at the time. Strong Voice and presence on the mic is great for covering up his faults for being a shitty lyricist, but that shit clearly fails when he doesn't have proper backing production wise and you can clearly see he isn't that talented. All Dr. Dre ever does for his proteges is give them extra exposure, hype, and bomb production. Dr. Dre never did shit beyond that, N.W.A - Ice Cube was the Lyricist After that DOC wrote the lyrics, hell RBX wrote Let Me Ride, Every song Off The Chronic is written by someone else, Snoop Had his own flow and persona (Granted Dr. Dre did find him) Eminem was already becoming known in Detroit for his skills as a battle Rapper. Dr. Dre doesn't make his Proteges talented, His Proteges make it appear like he's The Talented one. No wait let me rephrase that, they make it appear like Dr. Dre has a bigger impact when in reality, They were his two most successful (Along with 50) because they had their own immense talent. So IMO Dr. Dre backing someone doesn't mean shit because all he does is give em production, sure he'll make em record stuff till he thinks it's good, but I need a Doctor got a pass so that doesn't say much because all he does is want a Hit, doesn't even have to be a good track, long as it's a Hit. Kendrick Lamar made his bones on his own, years, but Dr. Dre comes in with a co-sign suddenly He's on magazine covers, and the next best thing. It's laughable because dude didn't do shit to make his carreer, Kendrick already has his own buzz with Section .80
