When subtracting/merging the 17-18 best tracks on the 2 discs, into 1 album, it's a contender for top 5 album of the year, or at least top 10..But there's something missing.. Game has dramatically improved lyrically since Doc 1, he's much more versatile, with a sharper tongue, but he (naturally) lacks that "new and exciting artist" edge, after half a dozen albums and 1000 tracks/guest cameos.Doc 1 had beats from Dr.Dre, Scott Storch, Timbaland, Kanye West, Just Blaze, Hi-Tek, etc. (whom all were in top notch form in 2005), and even though Doc 2 boasts Premo, Alchemist, Battlecat, Quik, etc., it doesn't even come close sonically to Doc 1.
