First Game verse is the same rhyme scheme and nearly the same bars as Dre's on What's The Difference. Second Game verse he's stealing Kendrick's flow and cadence.

Seems about right.

West Coast Bad Boyz 2

220px-West_Coast_Bad_Boyz_II.jpg


In 1994, No Limit Records came out with a compilation entitled “West Coast Bad Boyz”. The album was pretty good and a great effort to get unknown west coast rappers their moment to shine. Now fast forward to 1997, Master P was like…”let’s make a sequel ya heard me”. Here we are with the second album “West Coast Bad Boyz 2”. The album consists of big names such as Westside Connection, C-Bo, Brotha Lynch Hung, RBL Posse, Mac Dre (RIP), Mc Eiht, and more. A roster this big you would expect huge results right? Well not so much. The major problem with the album is the fact that it feels like a slouch compared to the original West Coast Bad Boyz album. A few tracks are on the dull side, but there are plenty of bangers like “R.I.P Tupac”, “Bangin”, “Datz What I Said”, and “Paper Chasing”.

Also, the album feels like a TRU album with west coast rappers as features. I don’t know why and hate the idea that I can’t relate to this album. I actually prefer the ruggedness of the first West Coast Bad Boyz album. The aggression and bay area influence of the record just skates all over the sequel. One good thing I can say about West Coast Bad Boyz 2 is that it’s mastered better than the previous one, but meh…

Bottom line, West Coast Bad Boyz 2 is worth checking out if you love west coast hip hop and them laid back lyrics from MC Eiht. It’s not going to exceed the greatness of the first album, but at least it’s considered a banger for the most part.

Honestly my first reaction is that this is calculated. All this gay shit seems like a decision to create attention or controversy. And now that he's on a label they're running with it, trying to make him the hip hop Prince or some shit. Scust.

You're gonna tell me a producer is just gonna be watching gay porn on a flatscreen in the studio, surrounded by his homies? Nah, something has to be up.

Thugga just trying to break down boundaries in this homophobic community. If that means nigga gotta wear a dress and watch gay porn in the studio, then that's how its gotta be.

Sure, below is a song that'll give you a taste of the sound of the artist, so you can get a feel if you wanna go down that path.

Aluna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfCSx5641U4
Shlohmo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3R15zsde14 (note that he's moved more to pure instrumentals, as in his last album; he played no remixes at the last show I saw him at)
Chrome S https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aeukmFc3sU
Big Data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8b4xYbEugo (this is the only one I haven't seen live, but I feel like it could be fun, who knows)

So this game album seems ok so far. Don't understand why he had to call it the documentary 2 though. Just asking for unrealistic expectations

It's a shame Ski doesn't seem to be sought after in this producer arms race. For someone to have evolved the way he has over 2 decades (much like Alc), consistently dropping fresh, varied music, to have such sporadic releases over the past few years (outside of Currensy) is sad. But maybe it's his choice, I dunno.

Dude....dude whipped out a guitar for rhythm roulette while folks were using laptops.

The man made Dead Presidents and Luchini. He should be on the top 5, but unfortunately he's criminally slept on.

He put this single up for preorders, and did the same for that Mos Def track that he was forced to remove. That kinda suggests to me that he's not eating...

My nicca Ski probably shedding thug tears in a dark basement in Harlem, writing theme music for Dame Dash shows that no one will ever watch.

If it's calculated, to what end? He won't sell more albums or sell out stadiums doing this, that's for sure.

Is it to expose a progressive image? Dude is a fucking idiot and can't maintain a conversation about anything other than drugs and money. He just doesn't have the capacity to hold that flag.

New Gibbs is pretty meh compared to everything he released after Piñata. I'll wait for the new Game be available on Spotify,but I have high hopes for it. Dude is a fucking good rapper, chameleon style or not.
