Is Doctor's Advocate better than The Documentary?

[Ashtrey]

The Documentary is a classic. Doctor's Advocate is a great album.

 

[H. Selassie]

Yes.

Doctor's Advocate was Game really finding his identity as an emcee/artist and not just rapping on handpicked songs and beats already given to him. The Documentary played out more like a composite of 50 and Dre's templates and ideas. Game was a capable rap artist but conceptually he spent most of the album just falling in line, and it's actually worked to his credit.

But I prefer DA because he went way more in-depth as an emcee and got more personal (Why You Hate The Game, Old English, One Night, Doctor's Advocate.) It was a Game album, not a G-Unit/Dre album.


It's the difference between moving into a great house that someone else built vs designing your own from the ground up.

i wish they hadnt put that stupid interlude at the end of cellphone

that beat is amazing though

 

[str8up]

Doc 2.5 might be up there with both of them

 

[1-8-7-Skillz]

Like both about equally

 

[Alvin]

Yes.

Considering the fact the rumor that went around that 50 ghostwrote the bulk of TD
with DA Game showed he could craft out a good album on his own.

but notice he had someone else do all the hooks damn near on this album

 

[CM_Burns]

At the time I thought so, but no. Mcing is better on Docs Advocate, production better on Documentary. Song for song Documentary is better though. More heaters.

 

[Danie84]

I was shocked how great DA was without BeastbyDre and GUNIT FUKKERY

...Too Much/Wouldn't Get Far/Ol' E/Doctor's Advocate/1 Night/Why You Hate the Game

And, LAX makes the cypher complete too

 

[raoulduke187]

yes, it's strictly west coast and The Game was at the peak of his career

 

[THE 101]

Too Much is such a dope, slept on beat

Nate laced it too.

Only track I dislike is Scream on 'Em. Swizz at his absolute worst. Some rac00n having an epileptic fit on a casio keyboard sounding garbage

 

[Corndog]

I always liked it better. Game stepped up his skill set something fierce in between albums

 

[Hammer]

NO.

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

Both are classics and that's all that matters. Dudes like to shyt on Game but his discography is on some other shyt.
