Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

This album hit me by surprise and it is a worth successor to the Documentary series .The Game spits really well here but that doesn't really surprise me. He always seems to bring it lyrically. Honestly this album grew on me. At first I want too big on it. A song like "Sticks" is kinda odd but I like it. "Geezus", the first song is really dope as Game raps, "Ima make you a celebrity overnight". I didn't really like the song "Party at Game's"....I mean I see what he was going for but nah. "Baby" is pretty damn good tho as it samples Ashanti's old song with the same name. There's 2 Kanye West assisted songs "40 Nights" and "LA Monster". Both are great.Kanye is really great on the former."Do You Love Me" is interesting as a woman tells Game "yeah I love you" LOL.The Game gets really personal on songs like "Nothing 2 Hide" and "Meet the Parents". "I Won'...

       The Game didn't retire off of his last album and I'm glad he didn't. Drillmatic is a great album....I'd say thats pretty on par with L.A.X. The album is really long and yes there is some filler but most of the tracks are decent. Lyrically Game does pretty well. The production is really soulful here and filled with lush sounding hood anthems. "Chrome Slugs & Harmony" is so infectious. "No Man's Falls" featuring Pusha T & 2 Chainz is another highlight. I found "Fortunate" which features Kanye West and Dreezy to be a breath of fresh air. A$AP Rocky absolutely kills his feature on "Money Cash Clothes" which uses an old Jay Z sample. Game and Cam'ron trade bars well on "K.I.L.L.A.S." Of course we've got to address the controversial "The Black Slimshady" where Game takes shots at Eminem. Overall I felt the diss was good but honestly Game came off as a tad bit of a fan of Eminem on it lol. T...

The Game's final album isn't the glorified album I was hoping for. For one its too many songs....25 tracks to be exact. Lyrically Game is consistent throughout. There are some real gems here like "The Code" which features 21 Savage. The album starts and ends with Ed Sheeran features but I was only feeling the album's closer "Roadside" out of those 2 songs. The production is good on this album but it doesn't sound very aggressive like with most Game albums, instead its very laid back. "Welcome Home" features the late Nipsey Hussle and is another stand out. Overall this album has some good tracks but its too long of a listen....Alot of this album could have been cut imo. This album doesn't have the most replay value falling short of 1992 which was an excellent album. I wish this wasn't his last album and who knows maybe he'll make another...

S1)2pac vs. S4)T.I.: T.I. called himself the hottest rapper since Pac but lets see if he’s hotter lol. Flow: These are 2 very different rappers. I feel Pac is great, but so is TIP. So Tie. (5-5) Creativity: I feel T.I. is pretty creative, but only to a certain degree. Pac wins here. (15-5) Storytelling: Pac destroys T.I. here. T.I. is a dirty south rapper where they don’t storytell much. (25-5) Impact: Pac again!!!!  (35-5) Collaboration: T.I. is really effective as a guest rapper, I’d have to say even more so than Pac. (35-15) Versatility: Tie. Both rappers are very very versatile. Yes T.I. makes more than club bagners. (40-20) Albums: Believe it or not, T.I. has the edge here. King and Paper Trail are really good. While Pac has Me Agaisnt the World, and All Eyez on Me. Its close but the King of the South has more going on in his discography. (40-30) Commercial Success: This is where Pac distances himself. It’s not close. All Eyez on Me went 10x platinum by itself...

Arguably the best rapper of our generation from the West Coast...lets look at this discography ranked! I'm not including O.K.E., Streets of Compton, or Block Wars..... 9) Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf (83)- It really shouldn’t surprise you that this is Game’s weakest album. Sure, it’s a collaborative album but there is enough Game present here to save it. There are some strong tracks here and there like “Really” which features T.I., 2 Chainz, Soulja Boy, and Yo Gotti. There’s just too much filler. Top Tracks: F.U.N., The Purge, Really, Bigger than Me, Black on Black. 8) Jesus Piece (89)- JP is an underrated album. Sure his lyricism isn’t as good as on the RED Album, but this one has some serious bangers on it. However, there’s just too many guests. The production is good also. I think this album’s biggest flaw is it doesn’t seem to have a story behind it like ….every other Game album. The theme is very loose as well. TT: Ali Bomaye, See No Evil, Pray, Church. 7) ...

Rapper Rating Breakdown Stats out of 100 for Rapper Stats out of 5 for album 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.

Ok so there is a blog post coming that lists the BEST Rap albums of 2016, but this isn't it...rather the 3 albums I Liked the most all things considered.....It may suprise you.....maybe.... 3) The Game-1992 1992 features a very very introspective Game. He's lyrically on fire here and the production is really good too. I loved most tracks....okay i love all but Baby You. It seems The Game is indeed an all time great rapper now. 2)Logic-Bobby Tarantino What can i say about this? Its a great album/mixtape. There's no storytelling but the album is a ton of fun to listen to. I actually think its better than T.I.T.S. lol. Super Mario World and Slave 1 and 2 are great tracks. 1)Kanye West-The Life of Pablo If you follow me then you know i love Kanye i mean i even had the pink polo i thought i was Kanye lol....kidding. But no he is an all time great rapper. And this album is better than Yeezus(by .1 lol). So yeah its melodic and sporadic and just a blast to listen...

The Game has dropped a proper album upon us this year. Spoiler alert…its not as good as The Documentary 2s but it is great! Every song is good here for the most part, but most songs aren’t anything spectacular. The album is introspective. The Game tells you his story in or around 1992. The album has some nice samples like on F*** Orange Juice and However Do You Want It. I really don’t have any complaints with this album. Lyrically its terrific,and the beats aren’t too far behind. Let’s just say he’s an all time great rapper now. Verdict: 9.6/10

The Documentary 2 & 2.5 The Game In Depth Review The Documentary 2 Opening Opinion 9.9/10 The Documentary 2.5 Opening Opinion 10/10 Okay so this is technically a double in depth review….but let me kill 2 birds with one stone. These albums really blew me away. In October of 2015 I knew The Game was dropping a sequel to his former best album, The Documentary. What I didn’t know, is that he was dropping another album right after that…like a week after that. First I’ll talk about 2, then 2.5. First up there’s a skit, that’s really just about how real it is in Los Angeles. On Me with Kendrick Lamar is a great song. Game does that rapping copycat thing where he sounds like the rapper he has on the track lol. He’s done it before…he did it a lot on the Red Album. Kendrick’s verse is dope too, but you can tell right away that Game has stepped it up. Step Up is another great track. Its silky smooth and hype at the same time. Next Game recruits a couple of west coast l...

The Game has returned after dropping 2 classic albums on us in 2015. This album isn’t bad by any stretch, but its kinda disappointing in every aspect. Lyrically, Beat wise, depth wise…etc. My expectations weren’t too high, but Game is just filling up space with this one. There are some good songs though like Can’t Wait, Support Compton, and Gang Signs. This is good enough to hold me over for his next project I suppose. The Verdict: 8.5/10
