    Sounds like it was a great show.I'm gutted that I missed it.What Game has lacked in his last few albums he certainly makes up in his performances.Props to him for all going all for his fans.

    First minute of that was quite good, the rest was the biggest steaming pile of crap I have heard since I heard him rap last time.
    Controversy without content or at least a good flow is not good, I do not see why people like him.

    The game keeps going, hope he continues to make new music.

    Wouldn't be mad on it, I taught it would be more relevant to the song title. I know it's a bit out there but its not what I taught it would be, this to me looks like a poor version of eminems 3am from relapse going down the same Physco theme route at least very similar anyway.

    It's a shame it's one of the only songs along with Ricky that I really actually liked from the red album, was kind of hoping for a better video.

    No Lil Wayne either, not put together great in fairness.

    Decent enough video. Must be one of the first times that Game has put out a video that hasn't had a bunch of young ones with huge tits in it. I prefer his older videos, mainly for that reason :pac: "Let's Ride" was his best.

    Hey, resurrecting this old thread because a few months ago, I watched a documentary about Game, about his life, music, all that stuff. I was turned onto it by this thread, probably mufcboy1999 or PrettyBoy... But I was wondering if anyone can link me to the doc? Ive looked back through the thread and cant find it.

    Great documentary, really shows his progression as an artist (fueled by personal issues)

    I haven't listened to the R.E.D. Album yet, is it as good as The Documentary?

    From what I heard of the R.E.D album i didn't like, too much name dropping, too many songs sound the same, nothing too memorable on it to me.
    Documentary is his best album by a mile imo.

    No. There are 3/4 good songs on it. That's it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,246 ✭✭✭conor.hogan.2


    A good album but nowhere near as commercial and accessible and as banging as the Documentary.

    Half of the songs are very good though, so worth buying it definitely.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,970 ✭✭✭mufcboy1999


    @risetothetop

    It's not worth buying mate, get the 2 or 3 good songs on iTunes or whatever and save yourself the money.

    The city, Martians v goblins and Ricky IMO are the only decent songs, the rest is terrible, his worst album by far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,246 ✭✭✭conor.hogan.2


    For 9.99 I would always buy the album but that is just me.

    There are 10 songs worth buying imo - The city, Martians v goblins, Ricky, drug test, red nation, good girls, (the good, the bad and the ugly), speakers on blast, pot of gold and born in a trap

    Paying for even 8 of them costs more than the 9.99 for the album.

    Can't agree with that. Game was good enough on it. The beat was brutal though. Weezy ruined yet another song.

    Chamillionaire's version is way better. The beat is sped up and sounds proper. Game would have been better on that, and doing the hook himself. Then it'd have been a good song.

    Well the song in general is good, bad ft or not imo. Sample is excellent imo.

    What is the Cham version? Link?

    Well I know it as the Chamillionaire version but it was actually a beat that he jacked by Three 6 Mafia.

    You have Pimp C doing the hook here. He brings way more to it than Weezy does.





  • Registered Users Posts: 5,246 ✭✭✭conor.hogan.2


    Pimp C, it is hardly fair comparing anything to Pimp C now is it?
    It is like comparing Nate Dogg to pretty much anyone else.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine


    Nah not really. I was kinda half joking :P.

    Game's version had the makings of a great song. His verses were nice. The beat let him down imo. It was far too slow. And having Weezy doing the hook was probably a great commercial move, but a terrible quality move.

    IMO if you're really going to get someone like Wayne in then at least get a verse from him. Leave the hooks to someone who can actually do them. Wayne sounds like a constipated goat when he tries to sing. It's not pretty at all.

    I am not one for his raps so a hook is about all I could probably stomach.

    The beat suits Game, or pretty much any west coast artist the slower style suits him.
