THE GAME
G.A.M.E.
Fast Life Music
· L.A.M.E.
I know everyone probably made megabucks on The Documentary except for ol’ J.T. himself, but that barely excuses him from pinching off this 41-minute loaf of shite. Rehashing old scripts and dragging tapes of also-rans (at best) out of the vault to accompany lifeless lukewarm beats is not the best way to treat your loyal following and doesn’t make for an enjoyable listening experience. Not even a couple of half-decent beds courtesy of B-Roc or Ill Will’s reggae-tinged beat with its Barrington Levy samples can save this turd from its final destination at the treatment plant. Come on, "money over bitches/fuck hos" as a hook? Puh-leeze.
G.A.M.E. doesn’t even pass as a half-assed mixtape. Y’know, for someone who’s staked so much on his schtick of having the ultimate hip hop business acumen, diluting his highly recognized brand name with this log seems like a pretty dumb move. It might even make some of his potential new market-share think twice about shelling out for units of Doctor’s Advocate when Aftermath drops it in June. Way to go, genius marketing guy. Maybe you oughtta stick with bein’ the Thug’s Life poster boy, get a new N.W.A. tat and let the real sharks T.C.O.B. from now on. You know… the ones that made megabucks on The Documentary.
