Every since the Game came out, people mainly on this board have argued how there have been many better rappers than him who would blow up just as big if they had the chance to. Now we see that he actually is gonna be successful, due to various reasons, I want to ask y'all. Do you still think that anybody else from the west could have been THIS successful under the exact same circumstances and hype surrounding them that Game had aroudn him? I don't mean the shit about his gang affiliation or bein shot, but just as far as him part of the Iovine hype machine and havin the commercials, Dre production, TRL and Kimmel appearances and all that. Personally, I think we all must admit that Game brought heat lyrically, and that he was not just an average rapper on dope ass beats. On the real, I don't think it is too many others that could have actually done as well on every single beat that he was on. Other than Crooked I, I don't think there are too many other west coasters that could rip every beat on there, because the production was very diverse. "Put you on the game" "Dreams" "Start from scratch" "Don't worry" "Church for thugs" shit I can go on and on about how different each beat was and how he still came correct on em. We can say that Dre is the reason he came like he did on these tracks, maybe because of him bein coached or whatever, but regardless, he killed em all. Aside from that, as much as I don't really like sayin it, all the negativity around him as far as street cred goes always sells. Even though there are the people in LA who swear he was this and that, and he was not from here and he got beat up there, overall, most people who don't know as much will see that he is real about his and that always sells.So....how would you call it?
I think game is hella talented, the nigga got lyrics. But one thing that he was able to do, that I think allot of westcoast rappers would have struggled with was making that crossover to the eastcoast. Game was also good at curtailin his flow on some songs for radio hits or crossover hits. Crooked i is tight, but i think thats somethin he stuggles with at times. And for all that hatin that was goin against the west, i think game was the perfect person to break us back in, u know, give em some west lil by little, until we back on top. I dont think a nigga like C-BO or Jayo would be in the same position as game right now. But now, a nigga like c-bo, or sly, or crooked, or daz, or any westcoast nigga thats stuggled, will be able to make moves a lil easier now. Shit, now would be the time for a nigga like crooked to make some serious moves. And watch out for quikster, i have a feelin, if he drop within a month or 2, he could do some damage. Im talkin some tonite damage. And in the worse case, if game dont make it easier for the westcoast, then we right were we been at, no harm no foul. But at least these mutfucka's was reminded about Compton, NWA, and just fuckin westcoast period. But it doest seem likely, seein that Billboard was next after Game, and that nigga was straight westcoast gangasta period, east coast nothin.IE
now that Game has done it, other people need to step on up to the plate and keep the west in the spotlight
Exactly what my friend Crafty said. Crooked has so much respect within the industry, Russel Simmons said he was one of his favorite MC's. Given the push of INTERSCOPE / AFTERMATH, Crooked I would gain a whole new audience and get Main stream success. Because Death Row don't get radio play anymore, thats why Crooked I had no chance over there.Crooked I has alot of love online, but offline only in the US. Its like here in England, those people who dont use the NET still dont know who The Game is.
Hittman is not a real person. He was a computer program generated by Dr. Dre and Mel Man back in the mid 90's. When Dre started treating Mel-Man like shit, Mel infiltrated the computer and put a virus in the hittman program
