    That Blood of Christ is a class tune, bit raw but has a great bit. I really have to put Jesus Piece in the car, give it a proper listen.

    Not liking that blood of Christ, to be fair game is horrible on it.

    If I need a doctor is anything to by then your right. As far as his production this year he's been spot on , Louis XIII by xzibit , any day by 50 and now dead people all 3 are good tracks and the production is a huge improvement on recent efforts the past few years like relapse.

    Speaking of relapse this dead people song reminds of something em would rap about, very 3am ish as far the substance behind the song.

    Kush and INAD wernt even dre beats ! Alex da kid etc he needs to stick with his own guns IMO.

    Wow. Three good beats in a year, after putting nothing decent out in ages before that.

    That's really showing all the critics!

    What's ages ? In fairness it's not as if he's released an album or anything... He's produced a few bangers , if you listened to artists like bishop lamont you'd know this.

    Wiggas say I fell off how ? my last album was the chronic :P

    about to buy the album now on itunes and the dead people track isnt on it? There's only one version of the album available too, bit strange. Its 9.99 with only 12 cuts...

    That is the reason I have not bought it yet, I am thinking of buying it on Amazon though.

    http://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Piece-Deluxe-Explicit/dp/B00AEJ1HK4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

    Is an actual CD though, and dead people is an itunes only track (like one of the tracks on GKMC iirc*). Bit of a shame though.

    * County Building Blues and the 2 black hippy remixes are the ones I missed because he released several versions with different numbers of bonus tracks.

    i went ahead and bought it, im just going to download dead people and that other bonus track. Its a bit of a joke alright, im also looking for 50's my life single and can only find the music video...

    really thinking about buying big boi's new album aswell, just going through the samples here now.

    im with eircom, i try not to download as much as i use too. You can hear the difference in sound imo though... if i had a hmv in my city id be buying cd's like i use too instead of itunes. The only advantage with it is i can download staright to my iphone/ipod, fairly handy.

    This is another reason I hope the music* industry dies quickly (as it currently is, as it will obviously not go away).

    * movie and book industry too.

    I have BB where I could (easily) download it but I want to pay but they still make it awkward, and when I buy books etc I need to buy a digital version too? Pfft.

    Dead People is an iTunes bonus track on the deluxe edition, deluxe edition is only available in the US.

    about to buy the album now on itunes
    i went ahead and bought it

    Sorry, I have to ask..why would you buy an album if you clearly don't like it?

    There's too many just plain and simple bad verses and bad rappers on this. Some of the features actually ruin the songs, it's too clustered. The Ali bomaye track is destroyed by 2chainz and Ross , same with Sean and Wayne on all that.

    I have to say it because its so noticeable is the amount of name dropping on just about every verse on the album, it's crazy. He must of mentioned just about everyone from shouting out g unit to referencing biggies death numerous times , he honestly has dropped a bucket load of names hence the majority of raps being about f*ck all.
    lyrically he is rubbish, his verses are so bad the last few years. His voice sounds like its on the way out or something and lastly i wouldnt say its clever at all what he's doing in terms of dropping names infact id say the opposite because its so repetitive and just filler in his verses.

    He's been finished a few years now , too reliant on others and now thats not even working for him. Very medicore to poor album in fairness just like red,lax.
    Pathetic verse, name drops are filler , features are filler because he's not capable of spitting more than one or two verses.

    Excuses excuses :D. A modern day chronic game called this , please stop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Scared now, Ali Bomaye and Jesus Piece are absolute class tracks. I find myself hitting repeat after the 3rd one. I need to give the rest of the album a good listen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,970 ✭✭✭mufcboy1999


    Believe it or not it actually grew on me, I wouldn't call it great but there a few songs I like so it just worked out better to actually buy the album rather than the 3 or 4 that I wanted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,970 ✭✭✭mufcboy1999


    the first week sales are out he only sold 86k. I expected him to at least break the 100k mark, surprised a small bit on that one considering he had a successful single in celebration.

    T.I's new album is expected to do 150-170k and he hasnt even got a successful single out. Records are not selling as much but if your on a major you'd still expect game to break the 100k mark with interscope backing him.


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


    Sales :rolleyes: You are in the wrong thread for sales.

    Defends everything lol ... I'm sorry Conor I didn't see a sales thread, it was general discussion to do with the album no need to get all stan on me again.


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


    Sales mean nothing. TI selling that much says it all.

    It was just general discussion on the album if he done a mill out the gate it would of been highlighted. 80k for a major artist in game is fairly bad aswell as the red album struggling to even hit gold.

    Nothing wrong with t.i that new album has being gaining a fair few plaudits , he's a bigger artist than game ATM and has been for a few years now. No ones judging the album on sales but it is a reflection of how big and popular an artist is at any given time by all counts.

    Ill have to agree here. I do think the album should have done better numbers perhaps 125k or thereabouts. Game needs off interscope though the advertisment,promo and marketing is just brutal over there. Say what you will about Young money/MMG im not a lover of either but they damn sure know how to get there artisits promoted.

    is he gone from interscope now ? i heard an interview saying he loves the label and could possibly stay... jesus piece is his best album since doc advocate thats for sure, there's a few songs im really liking , like i said it has grown on me.

    going to bump t.i's album tonight, seems to be dominating the forums.

    Agreed L.A.X had a few good tracks but the rest were forgetabble , and RED was his worst imo. Yeah he did mention that he likes the amount of freedom he has on the label. but im convinced with this album its the promo that kept the numbers so low.


  • Registered Users Posts: 319 ✭✭Dr. Greenthumb


    Gave this album a quick listen, some real good beats but as usual Game's raps are pretty average and nonsensical in some cases. I find it hard to take him seriously with all the name dropping.

    As far as TI goes, he's got way more rapping ability than Game just not as much commercial appeal. Game is way more vocal and always talking about someone to keep himself relevant.

    Lads if you were expecting Game to do better numbers than he did then you clearly don't know what you're talking about. I'm going to go out on a limb and say I know a little bit more about Game than most here. The week before the album was released I predicted that Jesus Piece would sell 75-80k first week. I took all a number of factors into consideration - singles, videos, how they performed, label support, promotion, advertising, mixtapes, his last albums first week numbers, how other artists are selling, etc.

    Sorry to be blunt but it's easy to say "he should have done 125k" when it really wasn't likely to ever happen. As far as I know Nicki Minaj had the biggest selling hip-hop album of 2012 with 253k. Rappers aren't doing the numbers they used to with the exception of a few major acts like Wayne, Drake, Kanye, Eminem, etc.

    Game is not one of these major acts - he doesn't have the same kind of mainstream appeal, he has very little label support and the album did not receive any significant marketing or promotion. 1 single/video is not enough to push someone like Game over the 100k mark.

    If sales are important to you then Wayne, Drake and Nicki are the ones you should be listening to. Maybe if Game signs to Cash Money his next album will sell more.

    Ye i agree , Interscope have a history of late of bad promo, 50 is airing them out constantly over it.

    I think it could be the fact it's his second album in one year too, might have played a role. He's not as relevant as he was in the mid 00s and a lot of what prettyboy says is right too.

    I agree with you on red, I might sound harsh but that album was terrible especially considering the amount of time that was put into it. Lax I didn't like either , doc advocate I loved and the documentary well that's a stone wall classic.

    Agree 100 per cent.

    Iv literally been saying this for years but even though theres too many features and name dropping lyrics i just take Jesus piece for what it is now and that's a good album with some good music.

    T.I arguably had one of the best verses of the year on in the A ... Nailed that beat so much. I'm a big t.i fan always liked his music even though he has been a bit sh*t since the prison release. It will be Sunday night by the time I get a chance to listen to the album due to work, I am looking forward to it.

  • Registered Users Posts: 33 dandynamo


    Nicki Minaj does release very mainstream music so people are obvoiusly gonna buy it. Game is also not as relevant as 04-06 same as 50. The days of gansta rap selling over 200k first week are gone. Its a shame artists like Nicki Minaj sell so high despite the lack of talent, but i guess promo, advertising aare more influencial than quality music or talent

    Album is ok but Kenricks album beats this easily

    Only got around to listening to this recently, and I have to say it's a nice album. Really like the beat selection and the Christian theme, and I have to say, even though there was a lot of controversy over features pre-release, they almost all deliver and suit the tone of the album.

    Highlights for me would be Ali Bomaye (banger), Jesus Piece, Hallelujah and All That.

    8/10
