I know Em was the boogeyman during his run but he can’t fukk with Game if he comes with that rappity rap shyt. Game is a damn rap faucet. Em can rappity rap and win tech points but Game already invoked the race card and Em should just leave this one alone. There’s nothing for him to gain.

I came prepared for the worst, and was iffy about the features but I enjoyed it front to back.

***Edit***

6 years later, I’m still mad about the beat replacement/sample non-clearance on magnus carlsen

That's one reason I still mess with physicals as I have the original. I also have "World Tours" on the version I got from itunes though I see they removed it now so I won't be able to download it again from there.

:ehh: that a'int bad, that's only 10K less than Meg, and she's got the machine pushing her while he's barely getting promo(no Akademiks post/no breakfast club interview..crackers mad he dissed Eminem etc)

Its not bad at all. Sales are overrated in this era nowadays. He needs to get out there and line performance dates, merchandise, etc.

I have about 10 more songs to go (lmao) and though I’ve heard a good amount I’ve liked, “What We Not Gon Do” and the track with French Montana and Tory Lanez,l — the latter of which is basically his version of “Unforgettable” should’ve never made it out of the studio :laff: :laff:

Start From Scratch II, No Man Falls, and Chrome Slugs & Harmony (minus Wayne’s autotune frog voiced garbage) are the instant standouts. “How Far I’ve Come” is nice too, even Roddy Ricch couldn’t mess that up.

After playing this back a few times, there are songs that I don't like.

Burnin Checks - dikkriding. Generic sound with Cardi B flow and cadence. He lifted that from the Kay Flock Cardi B collab or whatever. Unnecessary song.

OPP (removed anyway) - call it the No Flockin flow, but he again raps it exactly like Cardi B.

What We Not Gon Do - lyrically didn't sit right with me, some juelzin shyt, couldn't take this shyt seriously.

Nikki Beach - great hook by Tory and surprisingly French Montana delivers a verse that fits right in. The problem is Game doesn't fit at all on his own song and makes French Montana sound like Jadakiss. I'm not convinced he can rap over a dancehall track. Amateur performance and there needs to be a no Game version asap.

Killas - :flabbynsick:

A Father's Prayer - Game heard Violent Crimes from Ye and was like yoooo I feel this way too so I gotta go to the studio, make the same song and put that on my album.

His drill and dancehall tracks are not good. He flopped trying to ride The Neptunes sound. Then he tried to ride the Lex Luger wave, which again wasn't a great match. I can't recall if he made any EDM joints, but he probably did and they were probably trash. The irony is he needs someone like Dre by his side to tell him to cut that shyt out. I'm disappointed Hit-Boy lacked the taste to pick out the duds. The flow jacking and rapper impersonations also do nothing for me.

Anyway 6 skips out of 29 is not too bad though considering the vomit that has been released to the hip hop scene in the past years. The rest of the album goes. This is for sure one of the better albums in recent memory with Joey and Kendrick.

He’s done joints with Skrillex. That’s as much EDM as I’ve ever heard of him doing
