I'm a big fan of Game, but it feels like 2010 could be his falloff year if he doesn't comeout with something big, like a smash single with a dope album. L.A.X. was a bit lackluster compared to his first two releases. If he doesn't put up big numbers or a big single to push the album, he could end up taking the same road Xzibit took. Interscope probably won't keep him if he only does Gold or less -- they are looking for at least platinum to stamp their approval. It feels like his big run as a superstar might be coming to a close.
-
Come on g...he fell off years ago...what year was lax released? Shit what year was da released? Arguably his last best album
-
Lol yeah, if anything I would say Brake Lights has given me the most hope out of anything he's done since DA. So seems like a weird time to make that statement. But he lost his superstar status a couple years back.. "My Life" was the only song on LAX to capture the attention of the mainstream, and even then, they were hardly falling over themselves to buy that album.

"Game's Pain" was pretty big when that dropped, was #1 on 106 & Park for like 2 weeks and it kept him buzzing during that summer, and then the "My Life" video kinda dropped too late since the album had already been out... same problem Snoop had on BCT with "That's That Shit", too late
the majority of Game's work this past year has been kinda iffy and I say that as a fan, but Brake Lights was heat and has made me maintain some faith in R.E.D.

I think "Game's Pain" got over well as a summer track, but it wasn't something the teenage girls (those who buy albums) were really bumping heavy. Of course, having Weezy on "My Life" helped on that front.

yeah exactly... like I was still in Junior year when "Game's Pain" video dropped and I remember some heads around my school bumpin' it but not the "teenage girl" crowd like you said haha, and then "My Life" started to get bigger as the fall came around, and the album dropped in August
I don't think it was all Game for the reason L.A.X. barely touched Gold, the label should have dropped his singles closer together
-
He's still doing the namedropping thing to the max...
Ah well, I still enjoy his first 2 albums
-
Something people have been sayin ever since they first heard Big Money and Krazy.
But like so many other dudes, I got hope back when I bumped Brake Lights.
Lets see.. I dont doubt he can still drop QUALITY material.. but superstar status? I dont see him goin back to that..
-
Come on g...he fell off years ago...what year was lax released? Shit what year was da released? Arguably his last best album
I think to be fair, an artist is allowed one shakey album...and that album was def "L.A.X." But it still went Gold, which is good for today's day and age but the facts are that Interscope is not going to stamp Gold artists, they expect nothing short of a Millie sold when they put that kind of bankroll into the videos and radio play. I say he's on thin ice right now and this R.E.D. is the measure of whether or not he holds any weight. One so-so album people can live with... but two in a row, you're def cooked in this day and age. Is he gonna take the Nas route and bounce back like when he dropped "Stillmatic" or be a Chingy/Xzibit type where people say "oh yeah, I remember that dude...whatever happened to him."
-
Yeah but its more of game has fallen off period...the beatz he was gettin were murda...now hes ridin dre-no-tox...btw if u had 2 choose between hate it or love it vs westside story/higher which one u like?
-
I thought he did earlier, but Brake Lights gave me a bit more faith in his music, however i'm not expecting RED to be as good as D.A
-
Come on g...he fell off years ago...what year was lax released? Shit what year was da released? Arguably his last best album
So the last album he released was his last good album? Lol. Go Game.

i think he meant Doctor's Advocate
-
I would say he fell off since LAX. He just doesn't seem passionate about music anymore. During The Documentary and TDA he would always be doing promo and updating everyone on what he's doing but the past few years he's just been living like a recluse.
-
Ever listened to Brake Lights???
Guess you're so 2000 Late!!!!
haha
-
Look at the sentence above it says da...lol
-
Come on g...he fell off years ago...what year was lax released? Shit what year was da released? Arguably his last best album
it wasent good even... he fell off after d Advocate that album was mediocore and LAX was wack exept for my life and angel.

game will never fall off yell

How many of u liked my life?

i think this thread would be a great place to post that pic.

Game is talented on the mic. His only problem are his bitch tendencies and constant man crushes. Makes some of his shit very hard to listen to.
-
game has always been average nothing more,nothing less, west coast fans have a severe bill walton problem plain and simple,if we like something we make it out to be better then anything else hence the "it's better then the south" talk all the time, you got people here who will say biggie was wacc yet game is ill, lol, now i'm west coast born and raised yet alotta euro west coast fans will have the biggest problems with these kinds of statements go figure, bottom line game is ight and he's just doing what any average rapper would do,and that's experiment with what's in,see it doesn't work,go and do a couple joints his fans like then experiment again. good job game yell

Yup, people make an artist out to be way bigger than the person behind it all and then turn on him when that image doesn't pan out like they thought. It's not Game's fault. The title of "West Coast savior" is way too big to stick on any person. 2Pac can be glamorized because he died in the prime of his career but artists that have continued to evolve aren't given that luxury.
-
Nerestin 2 c where u rank game as a rapper especially when he "retires"....a few of u are callin him average and alot of u said he brought the westcoast back

i think its cute how you swarm all games topics but claim how he fell off...you know your a closet stan.
i got the pics,wigger i seen ya.
-
game been fell off, first 2 albums were dope, don't expect anything on his next album to be worth while either
-
Haven't checked in on the Game situation in awhile and am just curious what the new release date is, if there is one?
Last time I read he's "aiming" for August 24th but made no promises (good idea). What is he aiming for now?
-
It be cool to see Game and Nipsey both shine for the west but Game music just not there no more
he always has to take some1 else's style and never his own
-
i never understood the hate LAX received and why people looked at it as a weak album. that had a lot of good songs and sounds still good today.

The problem is that Game isn't good at anything else but gangsta shit. If I want to hear someone singing about a bitch I'll listen to John Legend.

agree 10000000000000000%
Game should stop it with these corny ass poppy singles and get back to some hardcore shit
+1
-
Think doc and da were so much better than lax so people looked at it like that
-
i never fall off, even with the doc :laugh:

Whether its "real" or not doesn't really matter. Most gangster rappers don't do everything they talk about. And most actual gangsters would suck at rapping about it. Its a form of music. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube have made some classic gangsta rap albums, doesn't mean they've actually done what they've rapped about. That shit's still classic tho, cause they were good at doing it.

game has always been average nothing more,nothing less, west coast fans have a severe bill walton problem plain and simple
Wait a minute? Game sold 2 and a half mill on Documentary and over a mill on Doctors Advocate just right here in the U.S., I would say that's much better than 'average'. He's the only one on the West puttin up numbers like that in the 2000's.

I think he means average in talent
-
Not average n numbers cuz if u sell then ur the best rapper alive...lol...game was sayin on record "mr 8 times platinum from the cpt" b4 da dropped...is that right cuz different numbers have always been reported on doc
-
Equating numbers with talent is always ridiculous. We can say at the very least that Game is profitable for Interscope but no-one knows the real numbers he's done.
-
Aite fair nuff and u might wanna change that 2 was profitable...lol
-
Aite fair nuff and u might wanna change that 2 was profitable...lol
We'll see, he'll still make them money, they just won't spend much on his promo and he'll have to do it all himself again like with LAX. I fucking hate Record Labels who don't get that you have to spend money to make money and that the general public will buy what you tell them to through promo.
-
You can't say Jimmy hasn't given Game a big budget man.. look at all the producers and artists Game gets to work with, shit can't come cheap!
-
U make it seem like that was given 2 game...someone has 2 pay those producers right?
-

That's what I said. Game's album budget paid for that shit.
-
Yeah some dont get that part...the great rza still 2 this day is bein sued and vice versa by ghostface, ins his own people 4 producer fees etc...some think cuz u famous or whatever a quincy jones gon give u a beat

The Industry has been at a point where it's like either u like and r gonna support the artist or not, no matter. the artist is gonna do their "best" 2 deliver what they think the labels thinks the people want and some cases and for they're gonna do what they like and want to do and what they know the core fans want, and the new niggaz are just tryna just a little more strategically this time around about gettin on and maintainin that bread the same way or bigger.
