Rapper Rating: 83
Comments- This was one of the best debut albums a rapper has
had. Game came out strong backed by Dr. Dre & 50 Cent, and a plethora of
varied beats. His flow was good at this point, but there was room for
improvement.
Doctor’s Advocate
2006
Top Songs- Let’s
Ride, Too Much, Wouldn’t Get Far, Doctor’s Advocate
Album Sore: Beats-4.1
, Lyrics-4.2= 4.15

R R: 83
C: The D.A. was a
really good album, especially considering that Game didn’t have any help from
Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. Regardless of that he came out spitting hard. I feel that
its better than his first album in some ways but overall it seemed like this
was the best Game could do given he was dismissed from G-Unit/Aftermath.
2007-Non Album Year
Rapper Rating -3= 80
C: Game wasn’t all that relevant in 07…..
L.A.X.
2008

Boys, Letter to the King
Album Score: Beats-4 , Lyrics-4.6 = 4.3

R-86 , CA-65
R R: 82.75
C: LAX was a good album for Game. It was slightly better
than Doctor’s Advocate despite not having the production of that album. LAX is
a varied album that showcases Game’s improved flow. The critics thought the
album was average. Game namedrops a lot here…like more than usual. He also has
a lot of guest spots on here.
2009-2010
R R: -5= 77.75
C: Game was almost a non factor in hip hop during these two
years.
The Red Album
2011
Top Songs-Speaker’s on Blast, The City, Pot of Gold, Ricky,
Paramedics
Album Rating: Beats-3.7 , Lyrics-4.8= 4.25
Rapper Score: F-94 , V-90 , R-89 ,CA-61
Rapper Rating: 83.5
C: I feel this is one of the better lyrical performances by
any rapper. Red Album is full of guest features and cohesiveness. The critics weren’t
really feeling this album all that much, but it was in my opinion the best rap
album of 2011. Game really varied his flow on this one.
Jesus Piece
2012
Top Songs- (Debatable)
Album Rating: Beats- 4, Lyrics-4.1= 4.05
R S: F-90, V-83, R-90, CA-66
R R: 82.25
C: I think Jesus Piece is a decent album, but Game doesn’t seem
to be as focused as he was on the previous album. He’s got a lot of guests, and
they help him out, but this album just feels like he just wanted to get it out
of the way. Regardless there are some really catchy songs here like Celebration
with Chris Brown and Lil Wayne.
Overall Album Score: 4.22
Non Album Year(s) Overall Score: 79
Rapper’s Overall Rating: 82.3
Final Rapper Comments: Game is one of my favorite rappers.
His scores on his albums are pretty consistent. I look forward to the next
album by the messiah of gangsta rap.
