bored on this Thanksgiving Eve. Pops cooking the stuffing right now lol.
Decided to bump LAX Deluxe Edition once again after a while. Just some random thoughts.
Ludacris lyrically raped Game on Ya Heard. No homo.
I actually dig the variety of sounds and styles on this album. The guests fit the tracks for the most part.
State Of Emergency is sonically one of my favs tracks the past couple years. Even if it is basically a remix of Ghetto Bird. I always wanted them to remix it with Cube and WC submitting verses.
Letter To The King has grown on me ALOT.
Nas seems more like a musical influence to Game the more I listen to him. There are times I can't tell the difference between them.
Overall not his best effort but still a dope album IMO. More thoughts later, bumping Camera Phone right now.
-
I was bumpin' this album last week when I was at the gym... I couldn't agree more although I always thought it was a dope album but far from his best
-
Yeah I think instead of just making a more cohesive album like Doctor's Advocate, LAX is just him working with artists he respects. Similar to Theater Of The Mind from Luda. I don't mind the amount of guests as long as the songs have some sort of theme and purpose to them.
-
Not his best album but I still liked it. Letter to the King, Dope Boys, Let Us Live, Game's Pain, Money, Camera Phone, My Life, and State Of Emergency are all dope tracks IMO.
-
i always thought it was a real dope album... dont get the hate,
-
Angel and LAX Files are my favorites, but overall a dope album.

Yeah Angel gets heavy burn from me as well.
-
Only on Dubcc can a album with songs like "Letter To The King", "Angel", "My Life", "Let Us Live", "Dope Boyz", "LAX Files", "State Of Emergency" and "Bulletproof Diaries" ...."awful", "terrible", "worst album of the year" and shit ;D
the only thing the album lacked was DIRECTION
cuz Game was obviously tryin to crossover with a few songs
but still when DJ Quik and Kurupt did it recently with that song they shot a video for, and Snoop do it or anybody else..then its alright ;D
-
Angel = dope beat, amazing common verse + 2 lame verses by Game overusing a lame cliche about hip-hop with the man who popularised the phrase ( GAME IS SO CLEVER!!!?!?!!)
My Life = snooze fest
Let Us Live = ass, the chorus does not match the content of his verses. not a bad beat
LAX Files = can anyone really take this song serious?
I know the real O-Dog, and that nigga know the real Game
I call him Lorenz Tate, and he ain't never been in no gang
But he been in my house house, and he sat on my couch couch
While I put one in the air so yeah that nigga know what I'm 'bout, 'bout
Really? Game, what the fuck are you thinking? Soooooo bad.
State of Emergency = Game remakes an Ice Cube song...how nice of him
Bulletproof Diaries = the second half of this song has better lyrics than the first
Letter to the King = i hate to say this but this song was ruined by name dropping rihanna and this dumb dumb dumb line,
nigger sounds nothing like nigga
like game like jigga
I wish I could smack him on his head when he thought of this line.
Old boy needs an editor and someone to guide his pen skills. Hopefully being back with Interscope he'll have this

when you write better lines, and make better songs, i'll be sure to buy your album

That's the stupidest comment I've heard on a forum. You should just log out and never log in again. By your logicm, you shouldn't write or speak again unless you're creating something.
-
had some real dope cuts on it, but those didn't have any replay value to me & the rest were just "ehh".

relax, Game stans will be Game stans.
little does he know that at least 50 other artists could come up with better lines than that lol.
it's all tunnel vision.

how is it the stupidest comment? you're actually trying to advise someone who has written multi-platinum albums on how to do things, like he's doing it all wrong. i'm not saying another artist couldn't come up with something better, nor am i saying it is his best line. but for you to talk like he's pretty much flopping is plain ridiculous.
relax, Game stans will be Game stans.

the term 'stan' gets thrown about way too loosely here. how am i a game stan? i don't have one picture of him on my wall, i haven't ever written to him, i haven't even seen him live ::) pretty sure they are some key parts to being a stan
-
And Game Haters will be Game haters......I dont understand how somone could hate on Game when hes dropped The Doc. which is better than any Chamillionaire album, and dropped Doc Advocate another album better than any Cham album, and dropped countless dope mixtapes, and then he drops one album thats kinda subpar but still has its moments....Not to mention he gave Ya Boy, Clyde, Eastwood, Jay Rock, Nippsey Hussle, Juice, X.O, and lots of other Westcoast acts ALOT of exposure, Hate on him if you will but Game has done alot for the Coast...Im not a Game stan, just stating the obvious.

And Why are you in evry Game thread if all you do is have some negativre shit to say about him? Im not going to go to a Chamillionaire thread just to talk shit on him. If you dont like the artist why bother going to a thread about him?
-
Great beat too by Jelly Roll on Bulletproof Diaries as well. Raekwon killed it.
House Of Pain is probably my favorite joint off the album.

lol, but i talk shit about Chamillionaire when he drops something i don't like.
i shat on his Mixtape Messiah series when it started getting played out, i said i wasn't feeling that song Patron.
a guy said "when you make better lines, i'll buy your album"; LMAO what does that mean? Action! shouldn't be talking about Game because he isn't a rapper? :laugh:
then nobody should ever give their opinion's on rappers ever again. :stupid:
you Game stans (yeah, stans) will not take any sort of negative criticism, which i find hilarious; every move this guy makes you praise it like it's godly or something; it's sickening.
you bring up Cham, lmfao, your only argument? i agree, The Doc. & D.A. are better than Cham's best, well i put them on the same level.
albums are albums, but no doubting Cham is clearly the better lyrically & in terms of making a deep song, unless you count the "crying over Dre songs" as deep ones lol.
take note though: i only speak about Cham right now because YOU brought him up lol.
face it, you blatantly just disregard my comments because they aren't pro-Game; like i said, i'll give him more credit than you when he puts something out that's dope.
something today that is, you're living in the past if you think i should still praise his work when that work is 5-6 years old lol.
-
Does anyone have Game's Pain remix?
-
Chamilionaire shits on game any day! his mixtapes were 100x better than Games albums.
so what Game is 10 times platinum?! who cares about sales nowadays?
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG UNIT!!!!!!!1

Action! can give his opinion on the music all he wants. but that's not what i was commenting on. he said Game basically needed guidance on writing his songs. how is that even reasonable when his albums have been as popular as they have been
and i know your not counting me as a Game stan - you can't be based on your agruement, seeing as i have criticised him before and i haven't seen his films.
how can you not give credit for something 5-6 years old ??? you not going to give the chronic credit because it's so old? or any other classic album?
Chamilionaire shits on game any day! his mixtapes were 100x better than Games albums.

this may be a surprise to you, but sales is what drives the whole industry.

I don't have to be a hip-hop artists to be able to tell poor song writing. I don't have to be a painter to be able to tell a poorly drawn picture.
It's always been this way with Game. He isn't a great song writer. Everyone knows this.

i don't take away credit, but i don't consider him one of the best right now with his recent work.
just like how Dre isn't considered the best producer anymore.
people have other favorite producers now-a-days, even though his material back in the day is some of the best we've ever heard.
-
Game isn't a good songwriter ? He might not be a good hook singer but other than that his songwriting has been on point since The Doc. Sure, sometimes he's annoying with the random name drops but he stays on topic, is a really good storyteller, knows the difference between a mixtape and album joint and let's not forget that he has a great ear for production too.
-
Money has grown on me too over time. Nice beat by Cool N Dre
-
I guess it's a matter of opinion. I should say he's quite hit or miss with his song writing abilities (it's only natural to be so). I love his writing on Bang Along. I don't like his writing on Let Us Live - what is this track about? Do the choruses and verses really add up? I don't think they do hence I don't like the song. It's odd because I think one of the better written tracks on LAX was Ya Heard. Beat was banging, Game was on point with the lyrics in relation to the song content and Ludachris was fire.
-
LAX is dope album 4 sho....coulda been a classic based on the songs that leaked.....but it ain't fuckin wit DA orTD

Not true, that he is not a great writer. You are tripping dude! Doctor's Advocate is the best Westcoast rap album in a while and he had no Dre. Your LAX views are biased as well...those are great songs but DIRECTION for the album lacked like someone said earlier. He brought something new to the table with each album. However, I think his name should have been Documentary. That's what he does best, document classic moments in hip hop history and that is not appreciated as much as it should be. Namedropping is much better than biting a line or two.
-
most of doctor's advocats were remakes of dre songs. i'm not sure how i feel about that

LOL cham's comments look quite harmless to me, yet he manages to get under some people's skin often :D
how is he a hater, when he listens to some of Game's songs?
ouch.

did LAX reach platinum status? How much did it sell until now?
