I do...although I have to admit that I'd like it better if he'll have more of a West Coast vibe on his new album. The Documentary was a very decent Hip-Hop album, but not exactly West Coast. So since he wants be THE representative for the West Coast, I think it would be a good thing for him to have a West Coast sound on his album.
But yeah, I wish him the best of luck, even if he's off Aftermath.

Hell yeah I do. Loved the stuff the man's done so far, although the countless G-Unit disses I could've lived without. There's such a thing as too much.

But fuck all that, that's in the past (at least it seems to be...). Hopefully the rumours ain't true and he's still "under Dre's wing", 'cause that way we can see the best come out of him. And hopefully that second album drops soon enough.

I agree with what you said Game'z next album should definitely have a West Coast sound to it, no Kanye or Timbo on this one (no disrespect) strictly West Coast producerz but I doubt thatz gonna happen... :-\

Why should it happen? Unlike other West Coast artists, Game can work with anyone he wants. Why would you want Game to limit himself? Timbo gave the "Put You on the Game" beat, that was striaght fire. Kanye is very versitile producer. He could give you any type of beat you ask for. Sure he should have some WC producers, but he already had Dre on 5 tracks. If 7 tracks are produced by WC producers (including Dre) I'll be more then happy.

I'm not sayin' tha album should sound like it was released in '96 but like dude said, Game wantz to be THE representative for tha West then it should be only logical that tha production is bein' handled by West Coast producerz only (artistically speakin') but like I said thatz probably not gonna happen (I KNOW itz not gonna happen) cause in order to be sure that tha record will do well Interscope iz goin' to play it safe and it will be made more along tha linez of The Documentary and other recent succesfull hip hop albumz meaning different producerz and featuring artistz from different regionz...

Damn those industry politicz... >:(

its good business.. in a sense.. as theres less risk when following a proven "formula"..

shit can go too far though and stifle creativity.. eminems albums are a perfect example of an over milked formula.


fact is... west coast artists have never relied on west coast producers...

look at ice cube.. who produced his first solo?  - the bomb squad..

look at snoop post dre.. first it was along with UK DJ paul oakenfold doing doggystyle remixes, then timbaland doing doggfather remixes.. next album he was off south to no limit... had a bit of dre/quik etc..  then neptunes etc etc..   snoops still big...

to me this proves there is no history of west coast artists needing west coast producers to represent.


i say let people use whoever they want..

Of course I want Game to succeed.  Dude is a lil overrated (especially on these boards), but he's still established himself as a legit talent, so I can't hate on that.  Even if his music isn't as "West Coast-sounding" as cats want, it's still good music - if he makes another album with Dre, Just Blaze, Scott Storch, Timbaland, Cool & Dre, and Hi-Tek behind the boards, it's bound to be dope (provided it's not too formulaic).  So yeah, I support Game commercially.

I do not, however, support him in his beefs, whereas all these G-Unot bandwagoners are quick to jump on his dick because he's lashing out at G-Unit.
Title: Re: Who here actually supports Game? (POLL)
Post by: CRAFTY on May 31, 2006, 09:27:59 AM
I'm aware of the fact that the G-Funk sound has been played out and I'm glad to hear that producers don't use it very often anymore. Producers need to move on, indeed, and although it's cool for us, West Coast Hip-Hop fans, to still hear some 'new' G-Funk beats, I can perfectly understand why it doesn't appeal to other audiences.
And yes, a universal-sounding Hip-Hop album is great, but if you have the chance of getting a hot beat of Khalil or J. Wells, then why not accept it and put it on the album? The answer is simple: once the promotion/hype around the album starts, magazines start writing articles about the album. And when someone writes "Game's new album included production from Kanye West, Timbaland & Just Blaze!", then A LOT of people will show interest in that album, because they ALL are familiar with those producers. Now, if it would say "Includes production by DJ Khalil & J. Wells", then of course, only the West Coast fans would be happy with it.

In my opinion, it's time to move on. Just like people moved on from the G-Funk era, it's time to move on with the idea of "if I don't have this or that producer/artist on my album, people won't show interest". Fuck that! If artists keep sticking to that formula, then when is it ever gonna change? Someone should change that formula, and Game has a fair share of fans to take a little 'risk' and put a nice West Coast beat(s) on the album.

At the end of the day, it's - unfortunately enough - all about doing good in SoundScan terms. What the fans want comes second, first it's the money. Can you blame the record labels? No, because after all this is the music BUSINESS, and label execs what their money when it's all said & done.

It's just sad to see that a mainstream artist is not in full control of his album, but that a corporate label exec calls the shots & tells the artist what kind of singles need to be created.

don't really give a fuck.  he's a good (?) rapper, but I've never really looked forward to a verse of his in a song.  "The Documentary" was a good CD, but that was largely thanks to the production.  hes cool though.

Support Game? Why? Dude is STILL with Interscope. Only difference is that he doesn't have Dre. Let's see how many "Game Fans" are still around soon. I don't really support dude, in the sense that I'm pulling for him. He's made some horrible choices so far in his career. He should've never went at 50 that way. Knowing 50's status at Interscope and with Dre, he was crazy for doing so. He let the stardom get to his head way too early in his career.

As for his sound... His sound is fine. He's not a typical West Coast artist... So he's not going to sound good over some Battlecat hand claps or even a Fredwreck talk box. He would sound great on a Khalil beat. A Muggs beat. Maybe even a mellow Quik beat (MAYBE). But for the most part, the production he had was FINE. There's no sense in making someone overly West Coast.  Nobody will care about them.

Then people wonder why the West Coast never moves up. The fans refuse to let an artist grow and expand outside of the West.

i think with time he will mature as an artist and plan his moves better, not act so impulsively......i would hope that he learns from the backlash he's recieved from all the beefing and understand that you gotta pick your battles in this.....i dont knock him for beefing wit anyone, it was just the overkill that was involved was enough to make the hardest g unit hater sick......but i deffinately wish him well on his next alubm and really hope dre continues to work with him......outside of him being a hothead, i really dont know why some many people dislike dude, i personally think he's nice wit his and reps LA well

My point iz this and I'm strictly talkin' about Game here:

Dude has been reppin' the West REAL hard for some time now and he probably seez himself as the savior of the West Coast, whether you agree with him or not iz just a matter of opinion but considering tha fact he has been makin' pretty bold statementz about himself and how he iz representin' his coast (makin' countless referencez and comparisonz to pioneering old school West Coast hip hop legendz for example), I think he could have done a better job at backin' that up ESPECIALLY considering tha state of tha West Coast'z popularity outside of tha West itself in recent yearz!

He sayz he'z on a mission to bring tha West back almost bein' as cocky as Kanye but yet his album featurez producerz like Just Blaze, Timbaland and Kanye West, now there'z NOTHING wrong with these people'z production skillz BUT IF YOU WANNA REP THA WEST THAT HARD LIKE GAME HAS BEEN DOIN' HE SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH THA WEST COAST STYLE OF PRODUCTION, not just to give tha album a West Coast feel but also because of tha resourcez that come with bein' on a major like Interscope which can be used to provide more mainstream exposure to producerz like DJ Quik, Battlecat or *put your favourite West Coast producer here* by lettin' them do his trackz and makin' those songz as singlez with an accompaning video... Not to take anything away from them but this way those producerz will be able to do more which will bring more attention on them and West Coast hip hop in general...

Again I'm just talkin' about tha Game situation here I have nothing against non West Coast producerz doin' stuff with West Coast artistz, itz just that I think Game should be more accurate and on point in his way of bringin' tha West back... And this iz what I think he should be TRYIN' to do cause like I said before... Damn those industry politicz...

Yeah, I support Game and all the rest of the west. Yeah all the beefing may have cost him Aftermath and a label and the LA tattoo is corny, but dude has improved  :o much on the mic since his 1st album and he has got some lyrics. All that other stuff at the end of the day aint got shit to do with lyrics. I would like to see him work with other west coast artists and producers. Look what 2pac did for the coast when he had all those bay and la producers on All Eyez On Me.

Is dude really off the math or is everyone here just talkin ish?  Seer said that "its pretty much confirmed"  Was it the G.A.G.E interview that "pretty much confirmed it?"  or was there something more official that I missed?

I voted no because I dont like his music.  Plan and simple.  I was never a fan or a supporter (even though I reluctantly bought his album and that WACK ASS stop snitchin, stop lyin DVD.)  Dudes never been all that good... He's gotten better but thats still not enough for me to be considered a supporter.  I've never liked his style... rather, hes never had one of his own to really like... Never dug all the name dropping...etc.  Got old quick.

Then theres his image... Mr. ultra blood gangsta or whatever.  PLEASE!!!!  For the most part him being a blood seemed really forced and out of place.   He just couldn't make a lie like that true no matter how hard he tried and now that his brother aint messing with him, he'll have to work even harder to keep it up.  My guess is... he'll pull a DJ Quik and slowly get over being a blood. 

As for the butterfly \ LA tat... more then anything it just shows how wishy washy dude is.  He cant make a decision and stick by it which is probably why he cant keep artists on his label.  You live or die by the decisions you make in life so if you ask me, he shouldve just left the stupid little butterfly on and rode with it.  Forget what people think.  I'd rather that any day, then to publicly stick my foot in my mouth by trying to covering it up. 

If anything, Im checkin for Brazil and Wilmington.

Yeah, and those "West Coast beats" ain't gonna get him on the radio.  Maybe he didn't need to jump on so many bandwagons (track by Kanye, track by Timbo for the South, track by Eminem for the Aftermath fan base, etc.), but youre playing yourself if you think Game's gonna move units with people like Battlecat on the record.  Yeah, Battlecat's produced some minor hits for the Eastsidaz in the past, but he ain't an A-lister, and most of the songs he produces don't cross over.  We all know damn well that DPG won't be doing big numbers with a joint like "Cali Iz Active".

I hope he makes it for the simple fact I aint a hater. But I do however dislike the fact on how he try's to act like he really got stripes as a G. And how throws all this eastcoast references in. The only West Coast nigga with a Yonkers flow. So is he saying you basically got to sound like you from the east to be good? I never dug that. I hope he succeeds, but I hate the smoke screen that eveyone without the knowledge of how these streets really work buy into the lies and are willing to defend his politics. I dont like how he always back tracking on beefs. It's one thing to kiss and make up, time heals everything. But when you diss people for no reason, then back down (JAY-Z) that aint cool. You shouldn't throw names out there like that. And lets be real if you are making a WESTCOAST album, have some west personel. Features and producers. Lets be real here folks. Mary J. Busta, Floetry Girl whatever her name is,Tony Yayo, 50 cent. oh he did have Nate Dogg and Dre though...... but much luck to another brother trying to get his. I wish him luck and safety in these streets.

Look at Xzibit's album "Restless".90% of that shit was west coast & it went 1 or 2 times platinum.If Xzibit dropped that CD on LOUD Records & sold that much imagine what Game would do wit a CD like that on Aftermath.Plus is it that fuckin hard to understand I'm a west coast fan & wanna hear more of that west coast sound???Geeez ::)

But think of this way, X's best two records came from when he was one some other shit. Yea, Restless sold more, but that's thanks to the Dre affiliation. Fact of the matter is, he lost a lot fans and respect when he started becoming "Super West Coast." He got into shit with J-Ro, Defari and King Tee... Dudes who had NOTHING but love for him.. That was his fam. When he was one some "I'm from the West but I'm not your stereotypical dude" type shit, people were feeling everything he did.

When you change so drastically, people can't help but look at you as a joke.

i agree 100 %.........and there is a whole other underground scene on the west that gets practically no mention in here(dilated, visonaries, J5, MURS, loot pack and madlib, PUTS, sick symphonies, etc.).....because those artists dont do gangsta street music and dont have the zapp talk box on the hook, that makes them any less west coast?............'west coast sound', thats like when people say 'you dont sound black, you sound white'........what the fuck does a black or white person sound like? what does a west coast beat sound like? enlighten me, cuz that comes off sounding narrow minded..........and damn, do fools hate game! sum of the reason behind the hate is funny as hell too

I want a west coast record from Game & don't give me that "it ain't 96 no more" excuse.I mean, why the hell am I on this forum???Cause it's mainly about the west coast.Anyways, I think Game's rapped over too many east coast beats, I can count his west coast beats on one hand.

Dude, Premier is my favorite producer ever.So what does that tell you???Take a guess what kind of rappers I listen to the most.Plus I don't care if someone raps about the moon, sun, earth or gangsta shit.I'm just looking at the mc's lyrical abilities & beats he/she raps over.Oh yeah, the west coast sound we are talking bout here doesn't sound like Kanye West, Cool & Dre, Timbaland, Just Blaze & etc. production.C'mon, you know what I'm talking about.

Game got a classic under his belt with Kanye(Dreams), so yes he should use Mr. West. The key is not throwing out the baby with the bathwater as far as the west coast sound and jumping on whatever new bandwagon is out there. No, the key is keeping what we like about the west and adding creative elements. Like I dont think anyones using Reggae as much as me.

"Restless" = 6 years ago now, times done changed.  Not to mention that an Aftermath/Dre affiliation back then was a huge deal because of how successful "2001" had been.

The fact that you a West Coast fan is irrelevent...I'm simply saying that making a record with mostly Cali producers producing Cali-style funk ain't gonna do big numbers.  And if it don't make dollars, it don't make sense.

The west never was played out. They started promoting the south out of fear of the west, just like back in the days they promoted the west to kill the blackness of the east coast.

I voted yes, he's got rapping/songwriting talent, but I don't think he has the overall characteristics of "a legend".

As long as the beats are good, I don't care whether they're westcoast or not. One of my favourites from The Documentary was Put You On The Game.; Timbo is nuts.
