shyt is flames. Probably his 2nd best album

LAX Files
State of Emergency (Cube's hook is crazy)
Bulletproof diaries (This is was the first of the Rae feature craze around this period)
My Life
Money
Cali Sunshine (old school feel)
Ya Heard (probably the last great Ludacris verse)
Hard Liquor (we all downloaded the proper version, fukk the interlude)
Let us live (sounds like a wannabe Nas track...but Game pulls it off)
Angel (piff)
Never can say goodbye (not a bad concept....bit corny, but he does it the way only he could)
Dope Boys
Game's Pain
Letter to the King (one of the tracks of the year)

Even the bonus tracks like Superman (Just Blaze back on his shyt) and Spanglish (something for the Latinos) were fire.

shyt was flames all the way through except the R&B tracks.

3rd best album but because his first two were so good this album gets unfairly hated on


Better then 90% of the shyt released

It had a more laid-back vibe to it than his other stuff. I really liked it.

if this album was a tape i would only listen to side A cause the first 7 songs are the best songs on the album.

if you take out gentlemans affair and touchdown, and maybe cali sunshine the album plays with no skips. has bangers with money, house of pain, and dopeboys. conceptual tracks like never say goodbye and letter to the kind. album is a solid 4/5 :obama:

I'm one of the few people that probably prefer it over DA .

Not a huge Game fan , but I bumped this for a while.

Yeah that chameleon Nas voice on let us live is a bit creepy man . He needs to cut that out.

over DA? idk breh, that album was just on another level. first time i downloaded DA, added it to itunes, pushed play and heard the lighter light up followed by that dope ass beat on lookin at you :wow: not to mention the shot he threw at curtis right at the end :skip:

Underated album and I actually liked it more then Doctors Advocate. My only problem wit Games albums is that he goes overboard with the features

:upsetfavre:
most of his features dont even have a 16, they do the hook. on all his albums, this is how many guest 16's there are

Documentary -5
Doctors Advocate- 7
LAX- 4
R.E.D.- 9

im already braced for a lot of features for this next album because he said there are going to be. but this perception of him having all these guests isnt quite that accurate

I definitely consider hooks features and he had damn near sumbody on every song on the last 2 albums. Even if you don't 7 or 9 other people rapping on a album is way too many

I had LAX bumping all summer of 08. My life is still my favorite.

IMO better than RED. RED got old quick. I can go back and listen to this album again but i can't go back to RED.

Also the R&B songs aren't bad. The first half of the album though is straight fire.
