Title: does The Game have any buzz?
Post by: 420 on July 21, 2006, 05:51:06 AM
cause i know ppl on the eastcoast and pretty much they all say game is never talked about over there and nobody up here in canada talks about him either, right now even banks gotta bigger buzz all from 1 mixtape and a guest in a video and the bet awards and the reaction he got when he came out was pretty loud, no hate, im jus sayin what i've heard mostly but i wanna know what yall think, and he has yet to say if he's still on aftermath too

Yeah, it seems that Game has quietened down on the mixtape thing lately.

He needs to come with something to generate some buzz, hopefully Doctor's Advocate, otherwise he'll slowly slide into obscurity.

Im in NYC, and Game's buzz has been quiet for a minute, but then again he doesn't have anything out either. I don't here any Lloyd Banks on the radio either, however. Mostly Dipset and down south shit.

He has buzz in LA/Southern California I can tell you that.  People were hyped to see him at the Envy Expo.

As for Banks having more buzz...no one is talking about him in Cali.  You kind of expect the eastcoast to talk about their artists and the westcoast to talk about theirs.

Game's street single is suppose to get sent to radio stations next week btw.  He mentioned this at his last show.

Sounds promising. His flow was getting better and better over the last year and he reduced the name-dropping.

Yeah his flow has improved by leaps and bounds.  He said July 31st is when it gets shipped to the radio stations but probably ownt hit rotation till a few weeks after that unless we all put pressure on power and kday.

The Game hasn't done any mixtapes, single apperances, or album spots for other artists, so is buzz obviously isn't that high outside of Cali. But he's got the BWS mixtape dropping, will appear on Nas' and Snoop's albums, and will release a street single, so his buzz can climb pretty quickly if he plays his cards right. Not to mention everyone whose heard any traks from The Doctor's Advocate has given it high praise.

Yeah he a lil quite at the moment, but once his album drops he'll be buzzing again.

as far as outside of this forum and in the real world, his buzz has died down a ridiculous amount

when he starts making the mixtape rounds again, you'll hear the buzz go back up like pre-Documentary

It's normal that his buzz died down. After The Documentary, he kept it going for an entire year (with SSSL dropping somewhere in December) so it was a smart move from Game to lay low for a while, so the public wouldn't grow tired of him. With The Doctor's Advocate in sight, I think he's about to build up his buzz again (BWS mixtape, street single).

Only a handful of artists have a CONSTANT buzz (Dr. Dre, Jay-Z & Snoop come to mind). The other artists have to EARN a buzz...that's how I see it.

BULLSHIT! Game will sell more with a lesser label
Title: Re: does The Game have any buzz?

Geffen is the same Aftermath. Snoop is on Geffen and he sold great. Nelly Furtado just released an album on Geffen and she outsold Busta. At least Geffen knows how to promote thier artists and arent pushing the release dates back all the time.

I kinda doubt that homeboy. That original G-Unit buzz that they had has died down crazy, and three or so tracks I've heard off of Banks' album have been wack as fuck. I think I'd put my money on Game.

It was wise for Game to lay low for a while, because his buzz with the 50 Cent beef was not a good buzz. Too many 50 fans who bought his album because of 50 would have left his 2nd album on the shelf. He would not have sold as much, but the beef calmed down, and now it's time to start a new buzz. His debut was built off beef, but the album had no diss tracks, so he doesn't need to come out swinging if his album wouldn't have the knockout punch. Keep doing songs like Face of LA, and Game should be fine. I predict 3x's platnum.

I disagree. The whole GUnit/Shady/Aftermath thing is slowly dying. I bet you Obie wont sell shit, like Busta.

Geffen on the other hand is smaller but is selling the same if not even better than Busta. Nelly Furtado outsold Busta and is getting crazy spins all over Europe, Snoop sold great on Geffen. They know how to promote thier artists plus they dont push albums back so much.
