Looks at ops screen name.Leaves thread.

 

[THE 101]

It's pretty good.

Falls off hard in the second half. Doctor's Advocate is better IMO.

But Game is just one of the most embarrassing, pathetic rappers in history.

 

[Czerka]

hes raps the same verse over and over on this album. garbage

 

[CashmereThoughts]

Thug Motivation 101 and The Documentary are the two most overrated albums of their era in my glorious opinion....

u can still feel the influence of TM101 in new rappers that cone out today.

didn't want to say it, but that's true

[Trizz54]

Classic

 

[Tuling]

shut the hell up klastii dude 5 stars his own thread smh

 

[Wacky D]

albums from people like game, jeezy, kanye, TI, wayne, etc are only overrated because people who were still coming-of-age or still developing their wits insist on referring to these albums as classics.

 

[raw613]

i liked it but personally listen to doctors advocate more

 

[The Frozen One]

I can fukk with a lot of albums called modern-day classic albums like Food and Liquor, The Cool, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Good Kid Maad City, Life is Good, but the documentary ?? I decided to check some "old" "so-called classic albums" and damn, The Documentary is overrated as hell.

I really don't hear it that much anywhere else but I went back and listen to the Documentary again because I thought it was one of the best albums of 05 but I went back to see what all the fuss was about again.
After almost every song full of name drops..and borrowed flows...the only thing I could sum up was the fact that this album is so overrated on this board because of the beat selection(which was some of the best for a album in a longgggggg time)...Amazing beats with average lyrics..Game was real repeatitive on this album...if it isn't about the westcoast then it's a name drop of an artist or an album...then if it aint about that it's more gunplay or a nba player or team again with the name dropping...and every once n awhile he'll throw in something about his personal life.

I don't see how a album with
Lyrics:c-
Production:A
guest spots:A
overrall:B-
can be a classic...

For me Game had very little to do with me actually likeing this album but more so the production and the songs where he had guest apperences on with the exception of: "Like Father,Like Son"/"Put you on the game"...and basically those were just recycled flows and he had zero creatitivy on the album..except for the oversaturated name dropping other then that none.

Hi @ROLF_GUY

how's the weather in Ireland, you flop unit groupie.

 

[AMcV'88]

great album but anybody could have made it.
the fact it came from a westcoast rapper who was bult up tho be their saviour propelled it into classic status.

said it before;

90% of The Documentary was a straight template album... all Game had to do was fill in the blank spaces with his bullshyt 16's.

Game was horrible back then.
he showed glimpses that he had potential G-Unit Radio 8 though but he was the worst thing about his own debut album.

the only thing i'll give Game credit for is he actually worked on his craft...he might copy everybody else but atleast he doesn't sound like a struggle rapper now.

 

[Jesse Pinkman]

If anybody could have made the album then why aren't they now?

 

[Oroko Saki]

Definitely NOT a classic, probably not too far though.

In my opinion it hasnt aged well and i now enjoy the Red Album the most out of all the game albums

 

[patscorpio]

documentary was cool but i still think L.A.X is his best album...even with the amount of guests on it the shyt was fire from start to finish
