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

[Cool DOC]

Deleted maybe 9 or 10 songs & this ended up being my 2nd most played album on Apple Music last year. Boy don’t make wack albums. If he wasn't a jackass outside the music, his career would definitely be farther.

Pretty much. Game has a top tier catalog where even his lesser albums aren’t actually bad. I’d say his “worst” albums (LAX, Drillmatic, RED) are still 7/10. There’s artists that are considered better than him who have 3s, 4s, and 5s out of 10 albums. Jay, Em, LL Cool J, Lil Wayne (LMAO), and T.I. (there’s people that think he’s better than Game right??) all have some straight up trash albums.

This

Game is a fukking weirdo and a compulsive liar, but his discography is better and more consistent than most of the goats

He doesn’t have a bad album imo, ones that are only just above average/good sure, but nothing I’d say is straight up bad, and I’d even go as far to say that even those albums would be great if he cut out the filler bullshyt while still keeping them at a good length, take the 15 best songs of Red, Drillmatic & LAX and you’re left with some very strong albums

That Discog is insane honestly, damn shame how much he has tarnished his own legacy with his fukkery, some of which is straight up baffling to someone who’s sane

Wow a year already. It was way too long but I liked the album when it dropped. I might bump this again tomorrow. I still dont understand why this wasn't on the album

Facts. Lax and the Red Album are the only albums Id give under a 7/10. Very consistent catalog.

 

[BK The Great]

This might be one of the better songs on this album, sampled Mobb Deep

Had the potential to be a really good album be he out-Game'd himself. I'd love to hear him make an entire album on some grown man shyt though. No gang pandering, no taking other people flows, no fu**ery

Look at who you're talking about and say that again...

what songs you remove?

 

[HiiiPower]

RED >>> L.A.X.

Gotta disagree, Worst thing about LAX is that the 3 worst tracks are literally all next to each other, but other than that?

LAX Files
State of Emergency
Bulletproof Diaries
My Life
House of Pain
Gentleman’s Affair
Let Us Live
Angel
Never Can Say Goodbye
Dope Boys
Games Pain
Letter To The King

Damn shame Hustlers Dream didn’t make this album,

It was very much a mixed bag.

It honestly sounded more like a mixtape than a fleshed out album, especially with so many blatant loops and "homages" to other songs.

Even the song you posted shows my point. Watered down a Bone Thugs classic while biting their flow for an unmemorable verse and Wayne's verse was trash.

There are still good songs on it though. I enjoyed Heart Vs Mind, Father's Prayer, Save The Best For Last, Voodoo, and Home Invasion the most.

waynes verse was buns I agree with that but this album was fire

 

[Ziggiy]

My thoughts today are the same as my thoughts when it dropped.

Cut the shyt down to 11-13 tracks and you have one of his best albums.

 

[Illmagic]

Too long but it was a dope album for sure. Games verses on here was magical
