Rapper-Game (The Game)
Date-Early 2017
“The West Coast Messiah”




The Documentary
2005
Top Songs: Dreams, Hate it or Love it, How We Do, Higher, We Ain’t
Album Score: Beats-4.7 , Lyrics-4 = 4.35
Rapper Stats: Flow-84, Versatility-86, Relevancy-90, Critical Acclaim-72
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 S: F-87 , V-85 , R-88 , CA-72
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
Top Songs: Money, Game’s Pain, State of Emergency, Dope Boys, Letter to the King
Album Score: Beats-4 , Lyrics-4.6 = 4.3
R S: F-91, V-89, 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.

2013-NAY
(-2)80.25


Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf-
2014

Album Score: Beats-3.8, Lyrics-3.9= 3.85
Rapper Stats: Flow-86, Versatility-84, Relevancy-82,
Rapper Rating: 84
Comments-This compilation type album was good. Some songs needed more Game, but honestly I like most of these songs. There’s just too much filler.

Top 3-5 Songs: Don’t Trip, 100, Dollar and a Dream
Album Score: Beats-4.6, Lyrics-4.9= 4.75
Rapper Stats: Flow-96, Versatility-90, Relevancy-90,

Comments- Documentary featured a very hungry and focused Game. The hits are plentiful, and I really like about every track on this awesome album. Even the filler is above average.

2015
Top 3-5 Songs: The Ghetto, Gangbang Anyway, El Chapo
Album Score: Beats-4.6, Lyrics-5= 4.8
Rapper Stats: Flow-96, Versatility-92, Relevancy-90,
Rapper Rating: 92.7
Comments- Game’s best album is almost flawless. The subjects, the execution; truly a gem. He’s got ½ of Black Hippy on GBA song, and Nas kills it on The Ghetto. NO WEAK SONGS.

1992
2016
Top 3-5 Songs: Young N*ggas, True Colors/It’s On, However Do You Want
Album Score: Beats-4.2, Lyrics-5 = 4.6
Rapper Stats: Flow-95, Versatility-94, Relevancy-91,
Rapper Rating: 93.3
Comments-I guess Game didn’t get the memo he needed to take a break, but hell, this is a great album. Its themed for 1992 too, which is impressive. His storytelling is the best of his career here.





Overall Album Score: 4.34
Non Album Year(s) Overall Score: 79.25
Rapper’s Overall Rating: 79.25+86.28=83

Final Rapper Comments: Game is one of my favorite rappers. His scores on his albums are very consistent. His scores have gone up from 2012. Truly an all time great rapper.

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20)      Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19)          Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”.   18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Lupe Fiasco's Tetsuo & Youth

Lupe has come back, and with a classic album. He seemed to be back on tracks with Food and Liquor II, but F&L2 wasn’t as fun to listen to as his earlier albums. Even LASERS was more fun. This album however, is very complex and fun to listen to. It’s also incredibly well produced. Lupe proves he’s still a top lyricist in the game. Check out his lyrical showcase on Mural, or storytelling on  Prisoner 1 & 2. He’s got a really long song called Chopper which features a lot of guests but its all good. The last song might be the weakest which features Ab-Soul. No Scratches feat. Nikki Jean is one of my favorite songs here. The interludes are pretty intersing, but ultimately skippable. This album is already up for album of the year, and honestly it will be hard for anyone to match this effort. The verdict... its 10/10 for me. This is a great album
