39 and I'm still bangin'
I can't get out if I wanted to
All I did was document my life
I ain't put that red rag in front of you
My first album had the world lit
Hit the hood and brought that Hummer through
I finally got the Impala candy-painted
Show you outta-towners what that summer do
Started off with sixty nikkas with me everywhere I went
Hundred-twenty cups inside a Summer Jam tent
I went from broke, fantasizin' 'bout Christina Aguilera
To puttin' TVs in the dash of my mama's Xterra
This is real shyt
I'm spittin' bars from the gun nikkas get killed with
I had to cover my son and let that steel spit
I talked about it in songs, nikkas got real sick
Dre thought that I was just rappin'
I told 'em I had bodies, no cappin'
nikka, this the new Compton
2005, my whole life got live
Picture a gang member on the cover of the Vibe
Tell 'em why it's West Side...

:wow:
 

u mad son?

Game about to get hit with that lawsuit




:smugbiden:

IMO they gotta relax, they got like 3K followers and thats why the dude that produced it probably didn't even think he needed to clear the sample.

At the same time though, I doubt they would have charged that much, should have just cleared it but this has brought me to their music that im listening to now and it is pretty dope tbh

They think they are in for some big pay day lol.

He don't sell like that and they are going to get a few hundred bucks in royalties after the lawyer they retained gets his cut.

I really like this album. I'm not necessarily saying this is a bad thing, but it's kind of a safe album, which I'm cool with. What I mean by that is it contains a lot of samples from songs that worked. I'm not even saying this is exclusive to Game. I'm sure it's common, but I don't check for a lot of new music like that nowadays.

It's kind of hard to fukk up these beats. C'mon the D'Angelo Beat? You can't fukk that up.

He also does a good job of taking mainstream acts that I don't fukk with at all and creating a song that I can actually listen to and not mind them.

The Game is a weirdo, but this is definitely my type of shyt.

not true, plenty of wack rappers with lil or some drug reference name fukk up classic beats/hooks from the 90s over the years

Embarrassing post :mjlol:


Nas is a fan of Game as an MC, but you’re bending over backwards to discredit him

I’m not discrediting the game. I’m praising the production. It would be very hard to fukk up with the beats on here.


Y’all are kind of some weirdo stans if that’s how you interpreted my post

I cut this down to 14 songs and it is fire. One of the best albums of the year. I never thought he’d still be making great music 15 years after the Documentary
