1. L.A.X
Produced by JR Rotem
Big intro, he spits some BARS on this track talks about being gangster, very west coast bouncy production!
2. State Of Emergency feat Ice Cube
Produced by JR Rotem
Crazy beat again, very west coast, another big tune, the only thing I could have asked more for was a verse from Ice Cube - he was only on the chorus ‘California ain‘t a state it‘s an army‘(they didn’t play the whole track so he might have a verse at the end hopefully). Game has stepped his lyrics up even more so far on this album.
3. Dope Boys
Produced by 15 or Nothin’
I’m not gonna lie when I first heard this track I wasn’t impressed, but I think I must have gone mad cos this track is a BANGER! Most people would have heard this track already it’s got a very rocky feel with Travis Barker on the drums.
4. House Of Pain
Produced by Dj Toomp
This was one of the standouts for me, guitar rocky beat again. Game has definitely stepped up lyrically on this album. Another bouncy track with a load of quotables. Dj Toomp done his job with the beat!
5. Heaven
Produced by Jelly Roll
Another standout this track is serious, Game does some singing on the chorus. This could be a single for me a more introspective track than what’s been heard so far.
6. My Life feat: Lil Wayne
Produced by Cool & Dre
This is the next single, another introspective track. Talks about The Game’s struggles in his life. Very serious. Lil Wayne’s singing on the hook ‘Dear lord you took so many of my people but why havn’t you taken my life’. Beats serious as well very dark piano beat
7. Bullet Proof Diaries feat Raekwon
Produced by Jell Roll
Very funky westcoast beat. Another standout. Raekwon does his thing on this. The chorus reminds me of the Ruff Ryders ’World War 3’ track - ‘Where you from, New York’…………BIG TUNE
8. Cali Sunshine
Produce by Nottz
This track is ok, I think I might have to hear it again The Game`s talking about 50 getting robbed, Suge Knight getting punched up. For me Nottz is a serious producer but I wasn’t really feeling this track it might be a grower though.
9. Never Say Goodbye
Produced EP
Another highlight. At the start Biggie’s talking about his shock of hearing Eazy E death. Then it cut’s to the radio talking about the death of Biggie and Tupac. First verse The Game raps with Tupac’s flow and second verse he spits like Biggie, he SMASHES it! They faded out the track after the second chorus so I’m not sure if he does another verse.
10. Ye Heard feat Ludacris
Produced by Nottz
This track is SERIOUS! The beat is stupid, probably the best beat on the album for me. Very Funky bouncy beat. The Game does his thing lyrically, he talks about being looked over and being too gangster to win a grammy but Ludacris SMASHES IT, one of the verses of the year for me, too many quotable ‘So many flags I thought I was in Russia…….’
11. Gentlemans’ Affair feat Neyo
Produced by JR Rotem
To be honest I thought this was the weakest track for me, it’s got a mellowy summery vibe. It’ll probably do well on radio but I wasn’t really feeling it compared to the tracks I heard before.
12. Angel feat Common
Produced by Kanye West
When I saw the line-up for this I thought this track would be SERIOUS but at first it didn’t grab me, the beat didn’t sound like a Kanye West beat at all, it followed the west coast bouncy production of the rest of the tracks. Common and The Game done their thing lyrically and I think it was john Legend on the chorus. Everyone else in the room was feeling this track though to be fair, it’ll probably grow on me(still a big tune though I was just expecting a classic)
13. Camera Phone feat Neyo
Produced by Cool & Dre
This sounds like it could definitely be a single, I could imagine this being huge, double time beat.
14. Money
Produced by Cool & Dre
This one is definitely for the streets, similar vibe to Rick Ross ‘Push It’, talks about money. This will be BIG another highlight! I could imagine rappers freestyling over this beat on mixtapes for years!
15. Breaking Rules feat Busta Rhymes
Produced by Scott Storch
Minimalist beat, everyone in the room was feeling this track. Got a similar vibe to ‘Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See’. Good track
16. Letter To The King feat Nas
Produced by Hi-Tek
One of my favourite tracks. The track is an ode to Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement. Very introspective, they both talk about when they were younger overlooking the struggle but now realising the power. The beat is crazy, Hi Tek does his job. Nas and The Game make great tracks together, they both have featured on each others current and previous albums and each track for me has been a standout!
Pain - they didn’t play Pain because everyone’s heard it all ready
Big Dreams - The people at Universal said this maybe a bonus track their not sure at the moment
L.A.X is in stores August 25th in the Uk. August 26th in US
-
sounds dope
-
dammmnnn shit sounds crazy!

Too bad it's delayed so far back, sounds like this album could have carried the summer.

Verse 3 on never say goodbye is him rapping as Eazy-E

no just blaze this time around?
-
Looks like the album is gonna be big, cinematic but ruined from being a top notch one by too many Cool & Dre tracks and those 2 Ne-Yo joints. He should replace those with a couple of Khalil and Just Blaze tracks.

Other than Cube, I don't see any westcoast artists as features... :-\
Oh well...
-
That mini-review has me anticipating this album even more. I'm curious to hear that track about Pac, Biggie, and Eazy. Thanks.

Superman is not on the album. Its a mixtape song.
And some songs are missing i think. At least 3-4 songs.
-
Damn, that sounds impressing :o Huge props homie
-
nice with jellyroll on the album 8)
-
this reading made me excited. it be hard not to be disappointed.
-
this album sounds like it going to be classic, seriously we should write a petition or some shit to the record company to get them to release it sooner.
-

How the fuck can the album or 2 songs "ruin" the album when you havent eve heard them?
WTF is wrong with you muthafuckas?
At least listen to the songs FIRST then judge...
damn
-
2 jelly roll beatz. I don't like the majority of his beats.
-
EP has a beat on this album. :raisetheroof:
-
Sounds crazy but it should have dropped by next week. Not August 26th or whatever. Not feelin a few tracks on there (Camera Phone...) but the rest looks like a solid Summer album.
-
I would replace Gentlemans’ Affair and Camera Phone by Let Us Live with Chrisette and Ya Heard feat Ludacris, the rest gonna be dope, I hope that Game change his mind with tracklist
-
thats alot of non westcoast artists to call this LAX
it sounds like hes going for that happy summertime westcoast vibe... whereas docs advocate was the dark gangster west shit
I thought game did tracks with quik?
-
I would replace Gentlemans’ Affair and Camera Phone by Let Us Live with Chrisette and Ya Heard feat Ludacris, the rest gonna be dope, I hope that Game change his mind with tracklist
WTf?
Ya Heard is already on the album cant you see?
And Let Us Live is already on the album
But its funny how people judge BEFORE the album even dropped LMAO that shit is beyond hilarious...niggaz only watch the names and complain about westcoast artist bla bla
R1ZE:
this album is not called "Im gonna have every westcoast artist on the album"
Its called LAX...does tht mean he have to have every westcoast artist on there?
No its called LAX for a other reason
now if you've heard his interviews you'd know why
Damn people bitch about westcoast not bein on his album all teh fuckin time...like most of them aint dissing dude all the time
or dudes aint supportin him so why should he? he already gave them recognition he doesnt need to do more
Damn people bitch about it all the fuckin tme...what if he thinks they dont fit in on his album? wht if he dont like most of the artist??
If you dont like it dont listen. The end.
Its not his fault that you wont hear a Crooked I album anytime soon or someone else..this is a GAME ALBUM..he works with people HE WANTS..not you
now go kill yourself nigga :-*

overreact much?
im not a crooked i fan. i am a game fan, but i could give a fuck why he called it LAX. the name represents something, and that isnt an album full of south features. in the end it doesnt matter to me - good music is good music, but lol @ games defense force in full swing
get off his dick
-
sorry, my fault, why you mad?
Let Us Live isn't on this tracklistin, or where do you see it? and I dont want so much Cool & Dre beats, they are nothing special, nor rnb songs with Ne-Yo
-
Anticipating this, just hope its not too generic.
-
I would replace Gentlemans’ Affair and Camera Phone by Let Us Live with Chrisette and Ya Heard feat Ludacris, the rest gonna be dope, I hope that Game change his mind with tracklist
why would you want to do that? did you not here what he said about camera phone? and how can you replace a song with a song thats allready there? . .lmao at people thinking they can tell what a song sounds like by its name , wtf?

Im sure that isnt the full tracklist, as 'Red Magic' and that 'Let Us Live' song were both mentioned by people who attended the albums listening paty.
-

15 or Nothin’
Dj Toomp

Nottz

I Agree, maybe game sees outside the box ( west) and thats why he is the only westcoast artist dropping records on a major level.

Damn playa, calm down... why you taking it so personally? I don't agree that the Ne-Yo tracks necessarily killed the album, I just wanted to see Khalil and Just Blaze on the album.

my bad. I also dont wanna sound like Im hatin on the south for no reason cause alot of my favorite artists are from the south (andre, cham, ti, luda... speaking of whom), its just I don't feel like they fit in right now. Maybe that'll change when I hear the songs, who knows.
but:
lil wayne
ludacris
nas
common
cube
ne-yo
bam, bam bam... 1/6 are from th ewest.
-
So what if there isnt alot of West Features , atleast he aint close minded, and this will keep his career alive for a liltte while
-
when this comes out ill let yall guess how many songs cyssero wrote for game ahhahaha
-
where did hear this?
-
Who cares where the features from as long they did a good job? Westcoast rappers need to work more with artists from the east/middle west and south (even I have to say that I don´t feel lot of dudes from the south), because then they will get more attention from fans outside Cali (and this board ;) ) Think Game did really good with the features. Ok, Weezy and Luda are not my favs, but theres nothing wrong with Common, Busta and Nas. Let´s wait what Game has done with Ne-Yo, but I don´t think it will be bad, cuz when it comes to choose the right songs for his albums, Game tottaly understand what he´s doing ;)
-
looks like it has a couple of interesting tracks on there; hopefully he's not going to imitate Dre's flow again like he did on several tracks from his last album :P
-
For those wondering about the Superman track produced by Just Blaze, from what i've heard the track is supposed to debut on YKWII Vol. 5. I really hope Ice Cube actually spits a 16 on State Of Emergency and not JUST the hook. Other than that L.A.X. sounds like another dope album from Game.
-
SHOULD BASOLID ALBUM
WAS LOOKIN 4WARD 2 MORE WESCOAS BUT OWELL,
CAN'T WAIT
DPGC23

Cool & Dre are too watered down now. They are NOT fuckin with DJ Khalil!
