The Documentary was named a Top 10 album from LA in a recent list. That's the only props I've seen him get in the last decade.

Dude should have been but he kept burning bridges and making bad decisions by clout chasing and attention seeking :mjlol:

He’s made several timeless classics and is clearly a dope mc but a goofball and a bully outside the music.

I remember when his age went from 19 to 26 in the midst of a few months, I’ll never respect him

The weird thing is: I actually enjoy most of Game's music on a casual level and I feel like Red and Drillmatic are his only true duds.

However, my issue with Game is that his music simply isn't distinctive enough nor has enough of a standout personality that makes me actually rank him on the levels of Cube, Kendrick, Pac, etc. Hell, E-40 who's not all that technical of a rapper is someone I'd place above Game as an overall West Coast rap artist.

Game's 2000's albums were great enough at showcasing his consistency and proving that he didn't need G-Unit or Aftermath to make good albums. But, around the 2010's, Game just started becoming unoriginal and simultaneously too trendy and too much of a throwback tribute act at the same time.

You would have Game jacking flows from other rappers in the same way that a ghostwritten producer like Dre and Diddy would and he'd do it so relentlessly that it started to feel overly performative and inauthentic. He would also use blatant samples and interpolations of other iconic rap songs with his version being the Great Value version compared to the original. Also, he often recycles the same album themes and subject matter on most of his albums.

So, I think in spite of Game's skill level and good albums, he simply doesn't have enough originality, personality, and creativity to stand out from the other legends and icons of the West Coast. He's almost like Crank Lucas if he had a mainstream rap career and hailed from the West Coast.

he is so fake.

just a loud mouth attention starved clown

everything he does always comes across so disingenuous and corny

the create a player of rappers


the over the top bravado persona he puts on, then the "woe is me" crybaby act he puts on after he always inserts himself in the middle of everything for attention

shut the fukk up. gotdamn, nikka.
You mean, like, exactly what you did in this entire post fishing for daps?

Hey cornball, nikkas like you have ruined hip-hop and it's time to take it back to the old days. So put cha dukes up 🥊 🥊 and let's get busy.

I like Game and he deserves his props.
He's always been in a weird spot bc 50 stans hate him, and he didn't do himself any favors elsewhere.

But contrarily..... there was a lot of hate for 50 and G Unit building back then and Game became a hero to a lot of people by going against them.
That DVD he made and the diss tracks only elevated him.
Plus he made fire music.... he was in a very good place for a while

He then fukked it up by being a weirdo clout chaser and doing a lot of questionable shyt.
Alienating Dre was not a smart move either.

Slaughtered all of G-Unit lyrically and still left out of the conversation of West Coast hip-hop?

:mjlol::francis::francis:
Btw, not a 50 stan or G-Unit fan.

Basically and I don't even fukk wit son personality at all. But to front on this nikka when he basically brought the West coast into the mid 2000s by himself is nasty work. nikka one of the first rappers to cosign Nipsey. And one of the first rappers to cosign Kendrick.
:dahell:Nobody's fronting on Game

Nobody would dispute any of the positive he's done but his negatives have drowned it all out. It is what it is:manny: We're not talking regular bridges burns, we're talking about Game pulling out a flamethrower and torching his reputation every other year

This nikka literally shytted on every west coast legend, old and new generation....what did he expect? :why:

Let his manager trash Pac
Supported Drake instead of Kendrick, admitting on interview he was conflicted because Drake gave him money
Said Ye did way more for him than Dre
Said YG would be working at mcdonalds if it wasn't for him
Disrespected Eazy E
Direspected Nipsey
...

TYRONE GA!
It's his fault that he got left out...

A lot of people lost respect for him, including people who liked his music because of all the silly clout chasing, disrespectful things he has done.

He is a very dope rapper but he did a lot of stupid things and having Wack as a manager doesn't help...

This. His discography is good as shyt, but like you said, it's his off the mic fukkery that has ruined him.
