I don’t really like West Coast Rap. It’s just a different vibe and well..I’ve just never been a big fan. But The Game impressed me on his first release and while this lacks the polish that Dre would’ve given it, it’s better than most of the stuff that passes for mainstream hip-hop these days.

He’s solidified himself as a star and while he’s out of the mainstream limelight, the hope is that he’s learned from his past gaffes, can get new hitmakers together to help him craft a third album that really gets the job done.

Not bad, but nothing to write home about exactly.

This album is filled with samples that originate from tracks that have already loaned the samples, but…I don’t think The Game understands that the postmodern angle is lost in his bad copying. It’s much like original films being re-made this millennium. Too bad. This could have been good, but even some of the producers who shone on The Game’s first album (e.g. Just Blaze) bore the hell out of me. Yawn.
