The Game is the best rapper in the industry today. His debut album, The Documentary, was the first stepping stone onto the throne. After being shot 5 times and living in a coma for months, he decided to write raps about his past. Not too long later, he was recognized by 50 Cent and Dr. Dre and signed to Aftermath Records. In 2004, The Documentary was released. The most memorable song on the album was Dreams. It was based on The Game’s past and what had happened in the last 2 years. The song has really stuck with me, as I still listen to it frequently. The Game’s biggest idol is Tupac, and he tends to write and rap just like Pac did. He has a lot of shout out’s to Dre and Pac, showing his appreciation for what those 2 have brought to the music industry. Rollingstone and Billboard both reviewed this album at 3 out of 5 stars, which I would have to disagree with. Any true rap fan would enjoy the album, it’s full of good beats, lyrics, and guests appearances. 50 Cent is on a couple of the best songs, including Hate It or Love it & How We Do. Both songs were number one on MTV’s TRL back in 2004. If you want to hear a classic album with all of the right things in it, buy the Documentary and listen to it a few times. You too with hear the greatness that The Game brings to the rap industry today. After this album he split with 50 and Dre, but he continues to create legendary albums and he has a new album coming this December, called R.E.D. I know I will be buying it, the question you should ask yourself is: Will You?
