I gotta agree w/ Swoosh on the beats.

And the OVERUSE of drinking, smoking chronic, riding on wires in a 64.... , Dr Dre, et. all.

However Swoosh... I must say too may crappy choruses in the songs.

And one track sounded like he ripped Easy Es "Two Hard Mutha's " track. And he also ripped Public Enemy's "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" beat...and not even an angry rhyme.... misuse of a great beat by PE.

Song by song review

#1 Lookin At You
--Nice beat but crappy chorus. Lyrics pretty good... basicall about how my last cd was, how my new cd will be, and why I am so great. IF he had of left off the chorus this would be a top track on the cd.

#2 Da Sh**
--I hate the beat, chorus, and lyrics to this song.

#3 It's Okay ( One Blood)
--NICE "banging" beat. Hate the regae chorus. Pretty good lyrics... basically about selling cds and gangbanging

#4 Compton
--NICE drum beat..reminds me of Easy Es "Two Hard Muthas" track. But the Chorus really craps the song out. Basically about his city

#5 Remedy
--Samples Public Enemy's "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" beat--and granted The Game has the voice and style to do justice to this beat but since the song is non-political it doesn't fo the beat jsutice. Lyrics pretty solid.

#6 Let's Ride
--nice West Coast G-Funk beat to ride to.... basically about riding around in your '64

#7 Too Much
--another nice G-Funk/70s soul beat that is good to cruise too. Good lyrics... basically about everything you can do too much too/with funny same can be said about some things he uses throughout the cd.

#7 Woudn't Get Far
--70s sould beat w/ some DJ effects. Don't like the chourus/hook in the song. Don't like... Basically how some folks are unsuccessfull and waht they do that holds them back.

#8 Scream On Em
--Another "bang beat" and I swear I should know where the beat came from. has a few DJ effects to it. Lyrics are ok.... just regualr game stuff.

#9 One Night
--Soul/R&B beat w/ a hint of Jazz... nice lyrics about reminising

#10 Doctor's Advocate
--Jazzy kind of beat... f/ Busta Rhymes talks about Aftermath.... ehhh not a good title track IMO

#11 Ol' English
--Slooooooow G Funk Beat ...definatley feels like a song to drink too. A song where the chorus reall works with the song. Basically about what you do when drinking OE.

#12 California Vacation
--Has that late 80's early 90's gangsta beat. You got Game, Xzibit, Snoop, and a few others guest rapping. basically about he loves the west coast and how the west coast does things. BEST TRACK OF THE ENTIRE CD.

#13 Bang
--Nice beat about well banging..... Pretty good song for beat and lyrics

#14 Around the World
--Funk type beat pretty cool...and the chorus fits this time as well. Basically about him and a girl

#15 Why You Hate The Game
--70s funk/soul beat... basically about why he is SOOOOOOOO good

Ok, like I said before.... the problem with The Game is he needs to cut down on the following references to: Dr Dre, Compton, Aftermath, NWA, Chronic, low riding, making a classic....... He really needs to expand is subject repetoire or folks will get tired of him by cd #3.

Now....

Documentary vs Doctor's Advocate

Doc has more "jams." "California Vacation" is the only one that qualifies on DA. Overall they are about the same quality wise. His beat production definatley went up on his new cd.

If you liked Doc you will also like this cd.

2.25/5*s I give lower marks than Swoosh b/c of docking for repetetiveness.

Actually swoosh, in looking at your song by song review.... we are almost saying the same thing on each song... I guess my style of review is a little different.... I tried to describe the beat and what the song was about... and gave MO of lyrics and beat...

But I guess.... if you gave it such a high score after not really "liking" a lof the tracks for lyrics ...but liking beats and I gave Mo of hte total package we really meant the same thing.


And IMO for The Game to be even more successfull he needs to expand his rap topics or he will be passed by by album 3... excpet maybe in Compton...but Compton sales alone can't sustain a rap career.

well, to start, a lot of people think some of those beats are dre beats, but they're under the name of other producers. as for the rest, it's because of 50. Dre wanted Game to stop beefing with 50 and when he recognized that it was a futile request, he moved game from aftermath to geffen so that 50 wouldn't have to deal with being on the same label as Game. Aftermath and Geffen are all under the same umbrella. the only difference is the name.

Hmmm BUT ...was Dre saying that Game is better than .50? IMO that is yes...

And then.... paraphrased Games says "? why you leave aftermath ...Game A: I came home and all my sh** was gone "

nah, dre loves game, i think he's torn between two pupils.

what you have to remember about Game is that he's..how should i put this? i think completely insane would fit here. He's like the rap version of ron artest.
