Game - The R.E.D. Album [Official Discussion Thread]

[Greenbrigade]

Dead people hadn't been mixed and the RZA song was on Purp & Patron think they were havin trouble gettin a sample cleared for the RZA song.

[RingMan]

depends on what you consider original album, before Dre was involved? seven songs in that case are still on the album, and RZA song is on Purp & Patron

[Digital Pimpin']

Not impressed on 1st listen, it's slightly better than LAX and nowhere near the Documentary or Doctor's Advocate.

In fact, Purp & Patron is a better collection of Game tracks than the RED album.

[Okka]

I listened to this quickly earlier today and i liked about half of the tracks. I gotta listen to the album a bit more, but it's definitely better than "LAX" in my opinion.

Im more into L.A.X. I dont feel Game's new vibes.

[GangstaBoogy]

I'm with bungalow, I remember people said the documentary was overrated and said doctors advocate was wack. Now every time he drops a new song I keep hearing "if only he could make classics like doctors advocate". Haters hate so much they don't even remember their true opinions.

That being said, ill be waiting till the 23rd to just buy it. I don't have time to get on a computer and download it anyway.

[CHUCK KNOXXX]

i'd say the middle of the album definitely suffers from alot of filler that i wasn't really feeling at all....but the first and last half of the album is pretty dope i'd say after first listen, altho each half has a song i'm not really feeling and vice versa...i guess what I'm saying is the flow of the album is kind of lacking...i gotta give it some more time to be sure

[BlueSwan]

that second half.. ughhhh can only imagine if shit like the kill, rough, monsters in my head etc were on there.

Along with "Lost", "History", "Ecstacy", "I'm The King", "Wonderful World", "Dead", "Living Better Now", etc. etc. ...so many dope songs that didn't make it.

[Okka]

"The City" is CRAZY.

[The Predator]

The Dre narration skits, trying to be all serious but end up sounding like unfunny stand-up comedy. Should of left the skits to the D.O.C., that's his department.

Take a few tracks off and add a couple from Game's 2011 mixtapes, you got something playable on ya headphones. It's about the best the west or hip-hop is going to offer this year. Until Detox drops *ahem*.

I shit on those south sounding tracks with shit ass claps, fast hi-hats and bitch snares. wtf is that? How come it cought up and got so popular? Artistically it is just shit.

It's a disease plaguing west coast hip-hop.

[jmj540]

On track 10, this ish is actually hot. Surprisingly I liked the Drake track.

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

I'm waiting until I buy this before I listen

why?

[chtimixeur]

Wow, this is a disappointing album.
If Game had taken some of his leaked/mixtapes songs from august 2008 to august 2011, he would have had a great album (Bang Along, Turn off the lights, Diamonds, Laugh, infraRED, Monsters in my head, American Dream, White Soft porn and even Ain't No Doubt About are better than 80% of the album IMO).
The beats on this RED album are really disappointing on first listen, and for me, it's his worst album (even LAX had a couple more enjoyable tunes)

This is hilarious because most people HATED a few of those songs once they heard snippets of them (ie. White Soft Porn, which wasn't a serious song). Haven't heard the album but you really out your mind you think White Soft Porn, Turn Off The Lights (dope song but still) and a few of those mentioned would make the album better.

Bang Along was made in early 2007, people had already heard a bit from it on one of his DVD's so it was a old joint with a older flow/lyrics. InfraRED was supposed to be the intro to the album but i guess he changed it the last minute. But also it's a business that's probably why he added those chick songs recently, cuz most of them were done a few months ago.
