Title: Restless or the Documentary?
Post by: C-clamp on March 26, 2005, 11:02:27 AM
Given the game vs. xzibit drama, i was wondering which album you thought was better.  I think it's a pretty good comparison, both albums were executive produced by dre, both had a lot of hype before their releases.  this is xzibit's best selling album to date, it went double plat i think.  So take your pick

I'm gonna have to give the slight edge to restless. Cause that album really did try and put the west back on, it had quik, the liks, king tee, suga free, snoop, defari, and they all came tight, not to mention the battlecat production along with dre and quik

Restless no doubt, tha production, guests, lyrics ALL on point. 5/5 imo

Documentary was a solid debut for Game, but he aint got skillz like X, period.

Easy win for Restless imo.

Restless is still bangin' every time I play it, no need to skip any tracks.

The Documentary is getting a bit boring, I only bump a few tracks of it every now and then. Ever since I first heard it, The Documentary has had some weaker cuts (fe. Don't Worry). I can't see myself bumping The Documentary, 2 years from now... Let alone 5 years from now or longer.

Restless: 9,75/10
Documentary: 8,75/10

Actually that's because Game always repeats he has a classic album platinum in 2 weeks so he's better than anybody..

Honestly, I can see myself listening to documentary in a few years and still thinking it's pretty good, the beats are good enough to allow that, and his lyrics are pretty clever, for the most part

This is a good comparison thread, because both these records are products of similar conditions and the sounds are somewhat similar.  Although Xzibit was already a proven vet in the game who had earned his stripes with his critically acclaimed "40 Days and 40 Nights" album. 

I chose Xzibit's Restless LP.  Maybe that's because I was a bigger hip-hop fan at the time Xzibit's album was released.  I just like Xzibit more because he represents more of an old-school 90's hip-hop sound and way of thinking, Game is new-school, and hip-hop is dead now anyway.  Peace.

Restless all day. The documentary is can. Xzibit rely on talent, game rely on controversy. Plus game can say what he want about Xzibit, but he know damn well At  The Speed Of Life is the album he wanted the documentary to be. game will be gone next year.

I don't think that many people used to hate on Restless, I think they just thought "40 Days And 40 Nights" and "At The Speed Of Light" were better albums.  It's a close call but my fav. Xzibit album is the Restless LP.

In my opinion these are both 2 very very good albums but i have to give the nod to restless. its easy to compare these albums because of the production and while both are strong i think restless competes with  any cd released in the last few years.
Title: Re: Restless or the Documentary?
Post by: Mr. Humonculous on March 26, 2005, 04:49:34 PM
all of Xzibit's albums are better than the documentary

I pick The Doc because there is two songs on Restless I completely do not like... "Fuckin U Right" and "Double Time"... I like all the tracks on The Doc. If X took off those two songs I would put him over Game.

Restless     - 23 (69.7%)
The Documentary    - 10 (30.3%)


WCC got this one right.

IMO restless was his best and his peak of his career. WOMD wasn't as good as the Doc.

I mean Xzibit's lyrics are way better than Game's ones, imo. Dre did a hell of a job on Documentary, making hot beats for sure. And that's the reason why that album is so good. Because of Dre and 50 (the simple fact he's on the videos makes them #1. I hate it but it's the truth!). Restless is a very good album overall, not only because of Dre! In fact it's the 3rd best Xzibit album, imo. And the 2 best ones are without Dre.

Xzibit without Dre = 2 great albums, maybe classic ones.
Game without Dre = ..........................
