Thread got me revisiting Game's latter lp's.
His 3-4 album stretch from Documentary 2 (2.5), 1992, Born 2 Rap is some of the most phenomenal I've ever heard somebody
spit that late in their career.
And the production is top shelf beat selection.
Nobody ever discusses this... but if y'all haven't, go back and replay those albums, especially 1992 and B2R.
Holy shiit.

I remember hearing the snippet of this for a long time and then they finally released the full song back in 2010. This song is pure flames.

Game later year discography is crazy.
If we compare his later albums with 50.
50: 4th album BISD(trash), 5th album Animal Ambition (awful)
Game: 4th Red, 5th Jesus Piece, 6th Doc 2+2.5, 7th 1992, 8th Born to Rap.
Game would get major props if he wasn't such a attention whore weirdo

Getting back to the music, how many songs have Kanye and Game made in the past couple months?
A couple songs. I just texted him the other day and put it on the table that I would really like to see a Game-Kanye collab album. He responded back with the thumbs-up, so that could very well be in the bank for the future. One thing about Ye, [if] he ain’t fukking with it, he going to tell you. If he fukking with it, he going to tell you. So there’s no in-between with us.
They work great together. Their chemistry is great together. They respect each other. They’re like two brothers, man, in the backyard throwing the football. There’s no tension. They’re open with each other, and they bounce ideas off of each other. The chemistry’s there.
Big Boi and G Herbo have said good things about Drillmatic, and I saw that Game had played it for Dr. Dre and Diddy. How involved were they on the conception of the album?
Nah, that’s all Game. My job is to provide the workspace, and I had to push a few little buttons to make sure they were smooth. Roddy Ricch dropped by Thursday and gave me a banger that I believe will be the next single. Game’s not scared to step into other people’s worlds. Fivio came in there with some drill shyt. I didn’t know how Game was going to react to that. He killed it. Moneybagg Yo’s [also been in the studio]. And we got a big surprise.
We got people who’ve been working with us for years. Eric Bellinger has been in there. Pusha-T. It’s people pulling up, demanding to get on the album. We got Hit-Boy in the studio. Him and Chuck are cooking. It just goes from there. A lot of these rappers have been around. They’re recording four or five songs a night. So it’s definitely happening there. The tracklist looks like it’s going to be anywhere between 15 and 18 [songs]. That’s what’s happening this week, [as well as] doing sample clearances. Everything we do is in-house: sample clearances, mixing and mastering, producer agreements, songwriting agreements. Everything.
Do you know what timeframe it might be out?
Some time around late March or April. I’ve got to work two or three songs. [Get the] videos shot and rollout done. Maybe go on tour in Europe sometime in May or June.
Will it be dropped on 100 ENT?
It’s definitely going to be 100 ENT, whether or not I do a collab with MNRK, who bought out eOne. They’re always in my number one position, because I’ve been doing business with them for so long. “Sexy Can I” was one of my first projects. Back then I was still hiding behind Shaq, trying to clean up. So everything from Year of the Wolf to Documentary 2 and 2.5 and the Drake “100” song has all been me, through my relationship with eOne. eOne was like [me] sitting in the management role and letting everything else happen. I’ve always been on the label side of it, but I was letting other things grow.
