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

[Guvnor]

I get their point that EM did used to clout chase in a way. However they are leaving out the fact Game used Em's style to do it. He is basically using Em's style so it makes it weak.

It's like you're really that much in aww of me that you studied me that heavily from Em's perspective. It's almost like a son acting out lol. If the style was trash Game wouldn't have used it.

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.

Wack said the shyt was 7 minutes or something like that and he told Game it was too long and to shorten it. Game said he would fix it, Wack came back and Game played the "fixed" version. As wack was listening and the track kept going and going even longer he would look at Game and Game would just smirk lmao.

I say that to say his team, even Wack advised against it.

Made it to the Cam song. This album is a farce. Namedroppong on overdrive, reusing beats and hooks. I thought the "Jay cleared 7 songs" was Gametales, but it was probably true. Jay is probably making more than him off his own album. Uninspired verses, wack guests. Wack Eminem dis, he needs some real nikkas around him to help him edit these bad ideas. Probably his worst album, though I have some to go. I'm already positive this would have been much better at 20 tracks tops.


Oh, and putting his Drake rejection message on here is all time weirdo clout demonry. It's not even funny, it's sad.

 

[Spidey Man]

Finally made it to the end. What was the point of that Drake audio. Makes him look like a groupie, and Drake sounded as soft as a groupie

You're missing the actual point of why he used Em's flow and style. He was mocking Em through imitation.

These guys got another video breaking down the diss and it was a very good analysis.

They definitely gonna find some goofy angle to downplay this lol

"That's not really Shaq, that's a clone"

[old pig]

still find myself listening to a majority of the album and appreciating new tracks I was lukewarm on before

 

[Rekkapryde]

Album is dope. 4/5 for me.

Game and his fukkery off the mic speaks for itself, but the nikka Has yet to make a wack album and can rap his ass off.


Too bad he can't stop the goofery

shaq made plenty of faces in this video to freezeframe and make new smilies from



remember pre-streaming days when athletes would just get random pre-release songs from artists to listen to before games? I wonder if artists still do that to build up the hype involving athletes to cosign

 

[Hersh]

It backfired though and comes across like an homage. It also showed he studied Em to do it.
