I think this is Game's worst proper solo release. There are really good moments, like 'The Juice', but there isn't one song that I have wanted to play over and over. The beats are above decent, but with all of the samples that have been used on well known records before, particularly during the first half of the album, it feels weird. It's hard not to like anything that samples Foster Sylvers' 'Misdemeanor' as 'Bompton' does, 'The Message' as 'Fuck Orange Juice' does, or Imogen Heap's 'Just for Now' as 'The Soundtrack' does, but all of it just adds to the feeling that I've kind of heard it before. 'Bompton' to 'Young Niggas' is a good run, but those aside, there isn't a lot here that grabs me. Lyrically, Game isn't at his best whether he is saying some stupid lines as he is trying to be conscious in 'Savage Lifestyle' or in the pop-rap songs towards the end of the album. Some of the hooks just seem lazy, and with some more effort and energy in them, the songs could have been taken to the next level. Beats: ★★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★ Hooks: ★★☆ Best Tracks: Bompton, The Juice, Young Niggas, 92 Bars
