The Game - DRILLMATIC Heart vs. Mind (Discussion Thread)

[Mike Wins]

How much do yall really expect Game to sell in 2022? He is not beating Rod Wave, Meg Thee Stallion, or NBA Youngboy in sales.

Right? Snoop debuted at #104 earlier this year with an album that dropped 2 days before the Super Bowl halftime show

I figured this would do 30-40k. Obviously under 20k a major disappointment for him but not that big a surprise, rollout was not handled and not even having a website with physical and direct download options was a mistake

Snoop isn't the best comparison cause he hasn't done decent numbers in a long time, but Snoop's BODR album was EP'd by Hit-Boy too. shyt, the Benny x Hit-Boy album only sold 19k, and Magic (Nas x Hit-Boy) did 22k.

I feel like this site is just washed up and likes to hate on Game. We seen the thread on the Lil TJay shooting and most people were asking who he was, when hes a multiplatinum artist. And a lot of the hating shyt people saying about Game can apply to a lot of The Coli's favorite artists too. Banks got a new manager and started doing promo, dropped a mainstream sounding single, and only sold 1/3 of what COTI 1 sold.

RED and LAX are def at the bottom of Game’s catalog, but it shows how strong his catalog is when those are still loaded with good tracks.

“Universal Love” should’ve been earlier in the album, and the album should’ve closed with Save The Best For Last and Father’s Prayer. Those are some top tier Game songs would’ve been the perfect closers.

Universal Love is a corny mess, idk why they put CB/swv sample on there

Game can rap no doubt however his antics are not winning him any new fans.
He is all over the place and cant pick a lane which is seriously hurting his brand.
If (a BIG if) this current album campaign can put out a couple interesting videos then there's a good chance of a slow burn where
the album finds more rotation and listeners as time goes on HOWEVER they need to embrace more mystique.
I disagree with a previous post about Game doing more interviews - cuz right now the more he talks the more people are disinterested in his music.
He's getting attention for all the wrong reasons from a promo/social media standpoint.
And 4real none of these featured artist really give a f-ck about Game.
They on his album but I don't believe he'll show up on even half of their albums.
Sure they've recorded songs for future use but at the end of the day their camp is most likely putting the game feature at the bottom of their playlist when putting the final tracklisting together before the album drops.

Game can rap but his business/music strategy is way off for being successful 2022

lastly.....
Whoever greenlit a 10min diss song to Eminem should be fired. all they had to do was make a "pros vs cons" chart in their production meeting and that sh-t woulda been axed a long time ago.

And to top it off, they thought calling it Black Slim Shady was a good idea. If you don't listen, you would think it's a tribute song.

That's like Pac calling Hit Em Up, the Skinny Biggie Smalls or Nas calling Ether the Queen's Hova

Dude seems so desperate for attention.

Breh did they take OPP off of Tidal? I am running this jawn back and notice OPP is gone

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Why is the OPP track gone from Apple Music?

Breh they took it off Tidal

Breh . They could had bushed "Drake with the Braids". This is why I try not to fukk with music streaming services. They take tracks off because farts.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

So it's not just a random thing.

 

[areohbee824]

It's somehow on my iTunes and Apple Music still but when I go to the album directly to Apple Music it is gone

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

I forgot they bushed that old ass World Tours track . Like what was Game thinking doing that sneaky on the album. Its like if Nas dropped KIDIII and has a track with Kurtus Blow from 1992 on the shyt.

 

[BK The Great]

He’s going on tour
