During the Coup De Grace promo run Ransom said he had a whole project with Game coming early 2022.

Obviously, we never got it because we in Q2 now and we got a single with a feature from Game instead.


They should drop a short EP if anything. Maybe get 38 Spesh or something producing a song or two.

I was more excited about this when it was just Game locking in with Hitboy. I still think it'll be good, but seems like he went in a different direction after the joint with Kanye got a lot of attention.

Game and Just Blaze, Kanye and DJ Paul is more exciting than Hit-boy to me.

But its cool how Game and Hit-boy went back to where it started and made The Good, Bad, & Ugly 2 for this album. That song is easily the best thing I heard from the album so far.

Hit-Boy was still a producer on Eazy, so I can’t see how Game wanted to switch up and change direction. I would have liked to have seen him stick with the one producer formula. Seems like those kinds of albums are much better quality/content/cohesiveness.

I feel like this album is gonna get lost in the shuffle. Pusha, Kendrick, with more big names to follow just a few examples.

It should have stayed a Hit-Boy produced album, and it should have dropped months ago IMO especially around the time the Eazy video was getting all the hype. Looks like Wack bungled the rollout.

Before Eazy dropped it was supposed to be a Hitboy/Game collab. ALL the snippets were fire. Since then apparently everyone from Cool and Dre to Swizz Beatz has gotten involved. And now Wack is saying it's gonna be 25 songs including a random Eminem diss? Just sounds like it's gonna be all over the place. I'm still checking for it, but my expectations aren't the same.

Game is always dope with Cool & Dre and Swizz. And I'll always take more music, than less. Not like this album is going to win any awards, even if it was on the level of Illmatic.

Kanye changed the whole direction of this album. Not just from the success of Eazy, but the type of shyt they were recording versus what Game did with Hit-boy:

0:30 to 1:15 are 3 different Kanye features on the album, aside from Eazy.


Whoo kid played the beat to the first one (Hit-boy) when he previewed the album, its the one where his drop comes in:

It’s rare to have that many tracks and for it to be good. He came as close as someone could get with Born 2 Rap, but repeating that is unlikely. My expectations have dropped as well. Back in Jan/February I was highly anticipating this…..now not so much.

Game had a good shooting percentage on Doc 2 & 2.5.

Wack just said in Akademiks live stream that the second single is coming soon and it's "solo Game and NBA Youngboy". I'm guessing he meant Yb doing the hook.
