DJ Skee & The Game preview "California Rebublic"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd_I4NnPStg

Haven't liked the leaks except skate on, but the mixtape preview sounds nice. Said there's a ton of features of course.

Mixtape dropping tomorrow.

Haven't liked the leaks except skate on, but the mixtape preview sounds nice. Said there's a ton of features of course.

Apart from 1 track, all the preview songs (from the YT video) sound like crap. It's not even that they're generic, they just sound like shit.

Plus there's DJ involvement, so I won't check for this anyway till there's an untagged version out.

Every once in a while I check for Game's music because I did like him some years ago, but every time again I notice how wack his music is.

The entire BWS situation seems so funny.  I see cyserro is saying he is back with BWS again.  Then you got the entire situation with Big Fase and Game then you got all these other artist he got but none of them are on the mixtape.  Whats up with T.D, Kanary Diamonds, Scipio, Clyde Carson, etc?  None of these cats ever dropped albums on his shit.  Seemed liked LA Goon was his guy for a minute just like juice, eastwood, techniec, young life were in the past.  Now I'm assuming Young Life is lifestyle and it looks like Kid Red is his new go to guy.

Well just to clear things up a bit. BWS is a crew, not a record label. Juice has American Me 3 coming out real soon. The Menace just dropped something called Livin Life Wreckless 2. NJD always be droppin mixtapes. Scipio is working on his project too. Clyde Carson is a millionaire and drops tracks at random and his Capitol Records/BWS deal fell through. Eastwood is on No Limit Forever records. Tech went his own way and Young Life is still down with everyone. Same with Eastwood

BWS is not a label and its getting a little old with people coming in here and pretending it is.

This tape is gonna be good regardless so it aint no worries.

You're right BWS is a pretense.
Well Game's been pretend it is first. He runs around talking about his label and people he got on it, yet come on here being "tired of people" saying it is. Negro please.

Since when crew does these:

heck out of here. Stop stanning. Game put up a facade  while he ain't got enough money to ever put out an artist so he failed.

He did put up a front though. On one of his G Unit disses he called out G-Malone for "misusing my label"  and I remember several years back him talking about how he was going to get a distribution deal for them, and that Juice was the future of BWS, etc. Dude dropped the ball.

True. That distribution deal with Capitol fell through and apparently they shopped it around and it still hasnt been picked up. Its almost all been rumors up to this point. But that doesnt change the fact that the music is great.

Post by: chtimixeur on April 06, 2012, 05:38:04 AM
His mixtapes used to be good, but this one is just bad.
Game needs to stop all this feature nonsense, and stick with one or two producers to release a decent album.
He's been wasting his talent for years, and he really needs to focus on finding better beats.

Can people name the best songs so I don't have to listen to the whole thing?
Not saying they are good, but the ones that aren't cringeworthy are :
Greystone, Bills is Paid, Roll my Shit, It Must Be Tough, Cats and Dogs, Come Up

"Now That I'm Paid" = Trae's "I Am The Street" minus Trae's verse, Lloyd hook, and a there's a different Game verse

as far as this tape I was feeling:

"God Speed"
"Red Bottom Boss"
"The Drill"
"Death Penalty"
"Greystone"
"Skate On"
"When My Niggas Come Home"
"Come Up"
"Cats & Dogs"
"Bills Is Paid"
"Roll My Shit"

not really rocking with the rest too much but maybe more will grow, all the mixtapes he dropped last year >

yea this is easily his worst tape since red room and probably worse than red room. There's about 4 or 5 good tracks out of 24. I really dont like how he jacked the shit out of j cole's flow all over this tape. So stupid, sounds like he's a big j cole fan. Even the sme subject matter.

Yeah, wasn't really feelin' the J. Cole impersonation either.  It was on point but damn, he needs to use his own flow instead of hopping on the style that's popular at the moment.

^yea his mixtapes get such mixed reviews. But the last 3 i bumped, this is the first time i've came acros several boring tracks. The j cole flow was so on point that a friend of mine who is an average fan of hip hop immediately knew he jacked j cole's flow.
