Personally....I can definitely see some people putting Game in their Top 20s, and I might even put it in there when I finally think of my list. It's hard comparing that album to the many other classics the west has put out, but depending on the taste of the person judging it, it can make a lotta sense. Many younger heads would definitely put Game in their list versus the older classics that old heads love the most. And for west coast fans who like east coast rap a lot, they probably love Game's album and definitely see it as a great album. It doesn't have many weakpoints about it, and is much more consistent than a whole lot of albums, and even some of the best west coast albums had some weak spots and songs you skip over when you play them. I think I am gonna include DOC in the countdown...it was real hard for me to decide because he's from Texas, but I bet most people in Texas who are 21 and younger think he's west coast and have no idea he's from Texas, just like most people think MC Breed is from CA.
You coulda heard 200,000 west coast albums, but that doesn't mean that you might not feel that Game's should be top 20...most of y'all always accuse people who don't share your same views of being too young, or not hearin enough music, when that's not always the case. I'm not just speakin for myself, but for many others around. You have to take many things into account...for one, things you might consider to be a weakpoint on Game's album may not mean anything to somebody else, and then there are people who consider Chronic and Doggystyle to have many weakpoints that most of us definitely don't see as being weakpoints. My homeboy around the corner is 18, but TV and radio raised him and he didn't get into rap til 98-99, versus me who's just 20 but musically was raised by the dudes in the neighborhood and at school and got into rap in 92-93. With him, he doesn't even think Chronic, Straight outta Compton and Doggystyle are that impressive to him. He likes all Jay-Z albums better than them, he likes Nate's music and me better, and even though he knows it's nowhere near as influential, he'd rather listen to Game's album than those. Now most of us, including me at times, wanna just slap him in the face and we would all call him an idiot, but music taste is all defined by what you are raised on. I've played him all the classic (in my eyes) west coast albums, and since he didn't get into rap til 98-99, he just can't get into those albums as much. So it's many people who are similar to him and just don't get into a lot of other albums. Even like "King T" I'll admit in a second, I've never heard his album, and if I heard it at this point in time, I probably wouldn't get into it a whole lot since I'm hearin it so late. But I'm sure that if I was older and I heard it when it dropped, I'd think it was much better than Game's album.
wow, you've never heard a king T album? dude tha kingdom come dropped like a couple of years ago, and it is much better than games album. funny how in the first part of your post you said these guys accused people of being too young or not hearing enuff music, but thats not the case...then you went on with your post, and that is exactly the case, lol.Its obvious that you have not heard much rap if game is in the top 20. Tray Deee is my fav rapper, and I don't even think I would put an eastsidaz album in my top 50.
King T's album fell on deaf ears. It made zero impact.The Game's album is one of the biggest westcoast albums in years.I'd put The Game's album higher for sure.

EXACTLY Hey R-Tistic dont get me wrong, im not hating on anyone, or being a dick because no one agrees with my lists, im just stating that there are so many albums better than the games, many can vouch for me on that....and that King T album dropped in 2002 (it was meant to be released in 98 I think) check it out great production by Dre, Quik, Ant Banks, Battlecat etc and we all know about T' s rappin so.......
Hey R-Tistic, I just realized why you favor The Game. Correct me if I am wrong, but was it you that produced a song for The Game?
