When "50 wrote your whole first album" turns into just "the most important parts" :mjlol:

The narrative was never about 50 writing his verses. It was that he gave him songs that would have otherwise been on his projects.

Rappin all the live long day with no structure or hit making ability is why he had to be put with 50 in the first place, no?

50 never said he wrote any of games verses.
he said he wrote the song, meaning he had the beat, he had da hook, and he had da vision for the record.

so all game had to do was plug and play, write his verses, which is his strength. game cant write hooks for shyt, especially back then. if you gave him that beat alone with no hook or vision, dis woulda been a classic game mixtape track with 100 bars and no hook lol and i like game way more than 50

“really only took the hook and bridge and a couple bars.”

The hook and the bridge are the best part of the song. :mjlol:

If Game wrote the whole song the hook would probably be about Dr. Dre

Bu bu bu he only took the most important parts of what makes a song a song brehs :laugh:

Being able to do hooks and bridges is a big part of what makes a good songwriter/artist. If you routinely take skeletons of songs, essentally remix them and add verses here and there, it ain't really 'your' music like that.
Not mention the whole flow and cadence. shyt is flagrant.

I always assumed that when 50 talks about writing this and Church For Thugs that Game kept the hooks and general structure but did his own verses. I'd love to hear the og Church for Thugs
I remember listening to Church For Thugs when the album came out thinking "50 must've wrote this"


Don't know how Game had the audacity to fall out with 50 when he gave him all those tracks. Documentary is still his best album

^ yeah i've contacted him before on another email of his Beats For Dre , and he just did a channel rebrand and named himself something else. he has the 18 track rakim shelved album and some nas demos from his firm aftermath days. he's riding the coattails of drillmatic's release to private-sell his collection www.thecoli.com/threads/official-nas-thread.2899/page-1507#post-42254016 I wrote about this before on thecoli, leaked.cx, and bomb1st

he's arrogant with his responses too from like a year ago when i first contacted him but he's a storage wars hunter that managed to bid and buy a bunch of dr dre studio items up for auction. he doesn't know really what value he's sitting on nor does he have the studio items to convert DATs and reels into FLAC, he's just overcharging for everything given that the dr dre vault is pretty sealed <- summarizing what he wrote

Yeah I e spoke to him as well and he’s extremely deluded about what he thinks the haul is worth. He had a lot of great stuff but with him as the owner it will never see the light of day unfortunately.

Schooling people takes forever; don't bother
I'll do anything - but I won't fukk Mariah
Even if she had Ashanti butt naked in bed

...still the funniest part of the song because he sang the first line in the format of 'i will take you higher'

man Game was randomly dissing murder inc from the gate and listeners back then were just rolling with it, he'll probably walk back that line if he had a chance to get ashanti on a hook, but it's probably not going to happen given how many bridges he burnt along the way, even if it's even just another remake like most rap songs trying to recapture that nostalgia

Definitely like the final version more but game using references is a L considering all the shyt he was poppin off about ghostwriting

Higher was always a waste of a great beat. Definitely one of the weakest songs on The Documentary.
When I was a kid it was my favorite song on the album. Haven't revisited to know if it still is
