Game- Jesus Piece (Official Thread)

[unstoppable589]

Okay, I might as well offer up all my thoughts about The Game in one post.

You put this guy's "best of..." against anyone in hip hop today? He'll go toe-to-toe with it. The Documentary is a classic. DA and LAX are very good, and The Red Album is very solid.

How many of the songs on his "best of..." are from the five mixtapes he dropped relating to The Red Album? Not a single one.

Kanye, Drake, Jay, etc. these are guys that WE WANT TO HEAR EXTRA MUSIC FROM. We feel that we want more; these artists have done a great job of making music with enough substance that we want more. Game? No.... just keep making albums, thun, we don't want to hear your "outtakes."

He killed his legacy with those garbage mixtapes in 2010/11. Yes, he did it for his fans and it was free, so I can't really fault him... but talk about overexposure, geez. We got five albums worth of Game albums for free, with bad mixing and horrible DJ'ing, so we don't care about him anymore.

Our biggest gripe, as fans, for the past 7, 8 years since he dropped was that he name drops too much. So what's he do? Name drop some more.

I fukk with Game, don't get me wrong, but his manager needs a slap in the face for letting him release so much (potentially good) music with terrible mixing/mastering/everything. And he needs a slap for continually name-dropping.

understandable. the way i see it, people were already "not checking" for him after the long wait from lax. he lost a lot of the popular rap fanbase. as a result, he released all that free music for his core fans. held us over while interscope finally stopped fukking around and released r.e.d.

and i could easily make an 80 min cohesive mix from the songs he released before r.e.d. that would shyt on just about any album released in the last few years in mainstream rap save a few albums here and there. but i doubt people would even give it a chance

Game Talks Concept Behind Jesus Piece Album, “Celebration” Success and Lakers Title Hopes | XXL

Any plans for the stuff that’s not making the album?
Usually, I would put together a mixtape, but I don’t think I’m comin’ with a mixtape before this album. “Celebration” is doing so well, and I don’t wanna take away from the concept of what I’m doing.

I heard the number of tracks and Apostles match up.
It was 12 apostles. Jesus was the 13th. I’m gonna stay true to concept; it’s gonna be 13 tracks.

 

[BlackZilla]

Not everyone can be Tupac, and write and record an album in a week (?), but hey I think that Game is talented, and even though I hate the Celebration record, I still have hope in this album...

 

[TheGregReaper]

He couldn't pick a more creative album title than "Jesus Piece"?

I swear every rapper and they damn mama been talkin about a Jesus piece lately

 

[TrifeGod]

Game is such a dull ass rapper to me.

 

[drugxglory]

Honestly breh, knowing you from SOHH and fukking with Lito, I think pretty highly of your opinion.

If you ever get around to such a mix, keep in mind I hate DJ Skee, I'd love to give it a listen. It's probably there. But Game released too much to let us digest what he got.

Next project, "Funerals and Court Dates", coming soon from Lito. I'd probably say by the end of winter. No official date.

I havent come across a post that I agree and disagree with at the same damn time as much as I do this one

Game my favorite rapper and Ima have to cosign the 2010/2011 mixtapes (Brake Lights and Purp and Patron) being trash....but nikka they aint kill his legacy

Brake Lights and Purp and Patron (which was a 2 disk) were trash...between all 3, there was maybe 5 or 6 tracks I fukk with ....but now that Im thinking of it, these were obviously all throwaway tracks he had sittin around collecting dust. Not to mention there was absolutely no concept for either one of these tapes..

But he dropped Hoodmorning, The RED Album and California Republic all within one year , so we good until Jesus Piece

Next single should be due soon

Game is such a dull ass rapper to me.

nikka has been ass cheeks since like 05. Even then he wasn't nothin special.
