Yeah man, that shit brings back mad memories from high school for me lol. I liked LAX more than a lot of people did, but DA was definitely his last great album.

I looked at some shit from LAX too. It had some bangers, but easily a couple steps down from DA.

DA was amazing though.

Yeah, Game was never a great lyricist, but he always had great production and a good flow/voice/delivery, he could do more with less so to speak. Guess it couldn't last forever. Lol I didn't even re-listen to RED.

red album and lax  just lacked some direction. Definitely some dope tracks but nothing compares to the way Doctors Advocate flowed. Straight west coasting. The Documentary as well.

Let us live knocks, dont care if he sounds like nas


"yo im fresh out of jail you should of knew i was back, turn on the radio its a wrap!"
^ always thought that was dope for some reason lol

He just lost his mainstream card on the last album. Game's name was still buzzing big with LAX.

Post by: D-Nice on June 02, 2012, 08:58:41 PM
It actually followed a format, very similar to the Documentary. Pretty much the same producers, guests he had more west coast appearances but even the sound was more "west". That was really overall a pretty dope year for the west as far as releases (2006). But yeah I agree with everything Cham said. LAX was nice too but RED is all over the place.

His 1st two albums are great because it has a cohesive sound while his last two are you average mainstream compilation ...

But at least LAX had some good songs, I still bump tracks from that from time to time. RED was just garbage all around minus a song or two.

Ricky, The City, and Born in the Trap fuck with anything off LAX. That said, the wack songs on it are pretty wack.

Like I said earlier, he was never a great lyricist, but he had a lot of good things going for him for a while. His prime shit will always be personal favorites of mine but I won't knock people for disliking him either.

he's above the average IMO, especially on the west. never been a huge fan, but he definitely has something. his delivery and his rhyme scheme. Game's not a lyricist but i think he's a bit underrated when it comes to writing tracks. i mean i understand his name dropping gets annoying, but i always thought the way he put rhymes together was pretty good, that and the play on words and puns he often makes (although it gets corny sometimes).

i think average is actually a compliment, considerin most rappers suck nowadays. but he's nothin special...his best asset is production. he's good at crafting his flow/songs, but he's pretty damn average to me as far as bein a rapper goes. i fux with his older shit, though.

The Game is an average lyricist but a horrible song writer. Almost every track he's ever done is about pretty much nothing. Some rappers will talk about pimpin, or slanging, or killing people, or how much money they have. The Game talks about everything, on every song, every time. Horrible horrible artist, but his voice and flow seem to scratch people the right way.

Songs from Doctor's Advocate will play in my car every so often (since the iPhone is usually playing stuff at random), but it lost its (intentional) replay value really fast.  It's only considered "good" because the follow-up albums were so bad.  It reminds me of how big Doggystyle was, then Tha Doggfather was mediore, but people started praising it a lot more after the No Limit albums came out.

And sometimes you just wanna switch off your brain and bump somethin as motherfuckin loud as possible! Games music is perfect for that!

Oh and yeah.. R.E.D. is straight trash! I loved DA, DOC and LAX but damn man.. even with 600 singles and the best producers he some how failed.

Game is a weird artist. I never really feel his shit when it comes out. But you hear it because he does get airplay and so on. Then a couple years later you get the "damn I didn't remember it was that good"-effect like Cham did with this album. It's happened to me a lot of times with Game. Maybe it's because of the good production along with familiarity from being programmed/brainwashed into your brain by mass media. Or maybe he's just a couple years "ahead" of me musically haha.

I still bump The Documentary.  Game is kind of the last mainstream West Coast artist we've had.   Maybe it's time I dust off Doctor's Advocate and take a trip down memory lane with it.  Honestly I haven't bumped that one since the year it came out but I do remember thinking it was dope.

co-sign, weird is the right term. and never really like his stuff when i first hear it. but yeah when i listen to his stuff i'm always surprised at how good it actually sounds compared to the first time i heard it.

lol Tyga ain't any worse at rapping than Game, he just chooses to make bullshit songs.

Game at least tries to have real multies in his schemes!

Game has better mic presence than a lot of rappers. He'd still ruin this song with his lyrics though.

I didn't want to turn this into a Game bashing but no lmao. It wasn't even the best WEST COAST Hip Hop album of the 00's lol.

But getting back on track, it was just a nice surprise after I basically completely forgot about this album lol. Also crazy that this sound sold over a mill just six years ago.

The album was cool. It was dope beat wise but lyrically it was kinda cliche & boring. It's evident when the featured artists killed him on his own shit. Plus those Dr. Dre impersonations was a bit much. I remember talkin about the album at work when it came out & one of my co-workers said he likes the track he has on there with Dre. That's when I knew he was doing too much with that. & The Documentary shits all over Doctor's Advocate & sets up his trend of gettin wacker every album. Not a wack album but not the best album of 00's like some are saying, not by far.

Post by: friscoliving on June 06, 2012, 11:39:47 AM
game's dope as a gangsta rapper basically, when he tries to reach for the mainstream crowd thats when you see him fall. If he did that DOC album i think it could return to some of his old form because of the concept of a whole day in compton or whatever it was. Wouldn't appeal to the masses but the early game fans would love it. Probably would be dope with great production

I still think that "Lookin At You" is a Dre track or Dre-influenced somehow.  That beat is so detailed... one of the best I've heard in ages... sicc
