:whoo:

It must have cost a fortune to get all those well known samples cleared. Not just the beats but also all the vocal interpolations as well. He must have had a nice album budget.

I aint complaining though.

i like it so far off first listen.

What happened to that Swizz produced track that Swizz posted on Instagram? He played it in the background while riding a bike or a scooter or some shyt? Game said some slick shyt about Kanye or the Kardashians and making a bowl of cereal for Kylie in the morning.

Anyone know what I’m talkin about, or am I bugging? Or combining two things?

This is Game’s best album. 3 sounds I don’t care for. nikka might go down as one of the most underrated when it’s all said and done.
he is one of the most underrated, but its his fault
no one really turned their back on him after the g unit beef

he didn't deliver with LAX, and thats when the fukker started. he started dissing g unit again and flip flopping, the instagram bs, fake beefs, etc. Tarnished his own legacy

BUT, on a pure skill level, game is definitely a legend

this album is great

Game most definitely did a lot of things that make it hard to take him seriously which is a shame because he’s a dope emcee.

I’d also say if you look at his career compared to other G-Unit members he overachieved by managing to be musically relevant years beyond that 2003-2006 window where G-Unit was hotter than fish grease. His career shyts on any G-Unit member excluding 50 and has a better catalogue than every G-Unit member including 50.

I just listened to the Nip track for the first time. Only track I'm listening to for now. I couldn't bring myself to it until now for real. "20 million acting broke"...that's always how I envisioned Nip. :mjcry:

I listened to this with complete bias ears..I used to be a big Game fan but got turned off lately with his non rap antics

But after listening this shyt for a week - this shyt is straight up flames..This nikka really dropped 25 songs with NO SKIPS :dahell: didnt think it was possible but he did it. Beats are soulful and as usual he comes with bars n flows

This nikka used red cafe in a non typical way and had this nikka sounding like a go to hook guy :russ: I do think he could have cut this down to 13 tracks and gave us a more cohesive album

But im very impressed and its a shame this will album will probably go unnoticed in todays rap game
