Game's "The Documentary" 10 year revisit

[MikeyC]

In case u aint know, The Documentary dropped 10 years ago to this day. This shyt right here (masterminded in part by Dre but mostly by godfather 50) put the West back on the hip-hop map without question.

Let's revisit those heady 2005 days, before Game started doing his best hip-hop impersonations, before 50 became irrelevant, before Kanye stopped making hip-hop beats, before Slim was all status and before we all found out that Detox was a figment of our collective imaginations.

I remember reading the articles and hearing about Dre's involvement - then the single dropped . . I loved the beat but them first few lines of that song had me - this some trash

classic album tbh, dont care if 50 wrote some of it, its still a classic

I don't know if I'd call it a classic but its a good album for sure, his best IMO

how many rap groups, in their prime, can say all 5 main members got a chance to shine and drop good debut solo albums and sell very well

that's my Unit #GodFather50
