Doctor's Advocate 2006 Album

The Game

The Game is back and in comparing it to his last album, the consistency is pretty similar, but there aren't as many very good songs on this album as there is on 'The Documentary'. His flow is better on this though and when he starts a verse from the hook on occasions it sounds great. He still name-drops a lot but it doesn't bother me a huge amount. It's like in some TV shows where you get pop culture references all the time, The Game is the hip hop version of that. It does mean though that lyrically he will never get thrown up with the greats because it's an easy way out when writing lyrics. The production overall sounds more 'west coast' than his debut and overall it's great, particularly the bangin' beats to begin the album and the almost g-funk tunes like 'Let's Ride'. In comparing it to his debut I would say it is slightly worse due to it lacking the killer songs The Documentary has, but overall it's still a great good hip hop album again led by some amazing production.
