The Game’s The Documentary 2 is now available for pre-order on iTunes.
The tracklist is now available for the album. The project is scheduled to have 19 tracks including the single”100.” Features are set to be from Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Diddy, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Future, Drake and more.
The Game says that he hopes the follow-up to his 2005 debut album will help further the legacy of his hometown of Compton, California. This year, Lamar released To Pimp a Butterfly and Dr. Dre released Compton: A Soundtrack by Dr. Dre.

After Kendrick dropped his album, then Dr. Dre dropped #Compton then the movie doing 100 million after just 2 weeks…this album will add to my city’s continuous legacy!

The Game has pushed back the release date for The Documentary 2.
According to his Instagram page, the album is now slated for an October 9 release date.
The original posts for the cover art announced a September 25 release for the album. The California rapper has since edited the posts to reflect the new date.
In the mean time, The Game is giving away $1,000 per day through The Robin Hood Project. Initially, the giveaway was scheduled to run for 25 days, leading up to the September release date. In yesterday’s post about the project, The Game says he will continue the giveaway through the new October date.

The Game posted on Instagram today (August 28) that his The Documentary 2 album will be released September 25.
On the cover image, the Compton, California rapper stands on a bridge in his hometown.
“I am proud to give you my album cover shot by legend photographer & director@JonathanMannion (who also shot my 1st album cover) & graphic designer@CeoSelfmade for collaborating with Jonathan to bring such a classic image of me on the bridge in my hood….Cedar Block Piru in westside Compton, California… Everything about the photo shoot made me feel the exact same way I did when we were there 10 years ago & trust me when I say…. This album is better than my 1st for more than a few reasons,” The Game writes.
His Instagram post including The Documentary 2 cover is as follows:
(The initial post in this thread ran March 19, 2015. It is as follows.)
After initially announcing, via Instagram, a January release for his sixth studio album, The Documentary 2, Compton, California rapper Game has now revealed that the album will be out this summer. The West Coast wordsmith shared the news during a recent interview with Revolt TV.
He announced that The Documentary 2 will be released on June 30, which also serves as his son’s birthday. He then explained that the album is one that could have been released immediately after The Documentary, but says 10 years later is “perfectly fine.”
“I feel like I could have released it after The Documentary 1, but…You know how they say, ‘Things just happen for a reason?’ 10 years later seemed perfectly fine,” Game said. “I mean, it’s my sixth album. My sixth solo album and I think that the 10th anniversary is huge, so why not put it out 10 years later? And then the actual Documentary 2 is gonna drop on my son’s birthday, June 30. Cause I think it’s big. And then his birthday falls on a Tuesday, which is the day that music is released to the world.”
Game later spoke on being his toughest critic and even revealed that “the old me was wack,” while speaking on revisiting his debut album.
“When I listen to my first album and everybody thinks it’s so amazing, but I think I’m better than that,” he said. “I listen to it and I hear all the flaws and the young me. And I’m like ‘Man, I would have never did this song like that today.’ I was just listening to it today. Cause I got all these 10th anniversary concerts. And so, I have to learn all these songs. Cause I don’t listen to myself on a daily basis. It is the hardest thing in the world. But the old me was wack. I’m dope now.”
As a father of four, Game spoke on his children serving as his fuel and motivation. He also revealed that being a father feels like it’s his calling.
“Being a father and making music that’s been, since the beginning of my career that’s been my everyday motivation,” the rapper said. “Waking up knowing that I have a job that I can stay focused [on]. I use my kids for energy. So, I look at them and I’ll go out and we’ll be talking about The Documentary 30th anniversary if I use them for the fuel and motivation. I love my kids dearly. Being a father I think that’s something that I was—that’s my calling. So, I got four kids. I love ‘em to death. I just use them for the motivation to keep going.”
For additional Game coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
october to january to june. i guarantee another push back.
Can’t wait til the Album
“Cause I got all these 10th anniversary concerts.”…. this bipolar guy claimed he was only gonna do the documentary aniversary concert once and it already happened months ago, did he have a change of heart?
sell 5 million records then talk shit you bum
hes not talking shit i saw the IG post where he claimed he was only gonna do that anniversary show one time. Dre was there.
Game inspired Kendrick Lamar’s new album title ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ when he pimped his butterfly face tattoo into an LA logo and finally an LA logo on top of a big dumb red star.
gonna be ruined by wack features from the likes of lil wayne, young thug, nicki minaj, french montana, tyga, bobby shmurda, chief keef, migos, dej loaf, meek mill, wiz khalifa, yg, 2 chainz, rick ross, … and anyone else who gets a one hit wonder between now and june.

The entire wolf album was trash, especially or nah.
game has never put anyone on lol did game sign kendrick to his label? did game cut his checks? no, dre signed kendrick then got him features like game and eminem. game cant even put himself on lol what happened to black wall street and the firm? and rolex records? now its some bullshit called blood money lol that shit wont last just like the rest.
BITCH have you ever heard kendricks song blackboy fly?????? have you ever heard Games song Cali Niggaz?????? THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP and get off my nuttz!!!! THE PURGE is sicker than any song that came out last year blood mood was a compilation and dope!!!!
why didnt Game sign Kendrick to Black Wall Street, or Rolex Records, or The Firm records or Blood Money Records?
300 bars to The Purge, mixtapes like OKE to Albums GameTime makes nothin but crack! waitin on detox? shit nigga that doc 2 will be it! “I only fuck with you on 2 occasions when im drunk and im high” nigga makes classics without DR. Dre and 50 to nigga dont act like yall forgot
People that hate Game are wack, guy is still crankin out classic gems all these years later. All I have to say is “Purge”. If you don’t like “Purge”, you got no good taste in music at all or you are talking about an artist’s music in terms of what you perceive to be an unlikable personality instead of the music yourself. If that’s you hate Game, just quit and go listen to Iggy or something.
classic gems? you mean year of the compilation wolf?
“just quit and go,listen to Iggy or something” Watch Game throw Iggy on Documentary 2.
game bumps iggy azalea on the low smh
killa cam… lol. cameron was terrible.
The Documentary was the shit and he’s saying he was wack back then. He’s clueless.
he had nothing to do with the outcome. he can rap. otherwise he’s talentless.. no pen game.. no original styles.. just same lines different rhymes
HOW MANY TIMES WILL HE SAY DR DRE EAZY E KANYE WEST LIL WAYNE SUGE KNIGHT
LISTENING TO GAME IS LIKE LISTENING TO SOMEONE READ THROUGH A LIST OF RAPPERS TO A BEAT
i haven’t listened to much of his recent shit since RED album, but from what little i’ve heard it seems like he has regressed as an artist. maybe i’m wrong, but he seems to be following wack swag trap trends now.
also, this is your seventh album dumbass. not sixth.
Documentary
doc’s advocate
LAX
RED
Jesus Piece
Blood Moon
D2
he dont wanna claim that year of the wolf flop
Blood Moon was a compilation by his company. Do your research before opening your keyboard you dumb ass!!
Hardly a “compilation by his company” when Dubb and Skeme only appeared on 5 of the 17 tracks.
how is it a compilation when it has his name and logo in giant letters on the front… the artist was the game, not blood money records… wasnt he on every song?
Year of the wolf was a compilation!!!!!!
lol Game shitted on all his fans who bought his first album. The old me was wack.
BTW Game was never a classic rapper he is average at best
It’s hard to call game albums solo because of all the features that made up 80% of it. If he can keep it under 5 artist it might be something I’m interested in, if not bootleg.
Documentary was dope, but he was better as a rapper on the RED album
it won’t be anywhere close to the first cause it aint have fif writing and dre production to that extent.
Dres gotten in on it retard
looking forward to this…last album sounded like a crossover attempt gone bad. but I’m sure he’ll make this one good, game is very competitive jack
Dope now? He needs to reclaim that after that last bullshit. YOTW was utter trash. He wouldn’t make dope music like documentary, but would make a stupid song like Fuck you niggas/I’ll hurt you niggas/man fuck you niggas. I hated that shit
he did rap better than he did on the doc after it but in terms of content he has gotten stale and in terms of production he is following others trap shit. Get back on that One Blood, Let’s Ride, Dont need your love type shit and you’ll be aight.
so now the documentary is wack smfh game really is a bi-polar ass nigga he been callin it classic for 10 years and he has not improved as a mc the name dropping is as bad as it always was. He must of been listening and thinking 50 wrote that one he told me how to rap on that he gave me that beat he wrote that one and his confused mind couldn’t take it
Who gives a fuck about this talentless, washedup hasbeen loser. Fuck you Game. go fuck your brotha, mada and fada too.
And what have you done? You got a record? Do you produce? Do you own a company or are you still working at Target?
I bet u’d say that to him man to man
The Documentary is his most perfect album. Not lyrically excellent, but it’s just well produced and executed. I bet he can’t make another album as good as the first one.
Concerning release dates, artists should do it the way Beyonce, Drake, J. Cole & Kendrick did. This way, no talking, no push back. Just release the shit unexpectedly or put it on pre-order 1 month ahead of the release on iTunes to seal the release date, damn.
Everyone can complain about how shit the game is and how he’s making shit music but who is these days 50s still making lullabys Kanye Wests music sounds like Kim Kardashian getting rooted dres gone cubes heading towards the same trap shit Kendricks making commercial music now who’s left that’s a dope gangsta rapper??
Uhhhhh Freddie Gibbs????
School boy q album was gangster
Vince Staples.
Vince Staples and Freddie are the best gangsta rappers by far. Vince really shocked me with Summertime ’06, project is concise and beautiful… Calling the Game a gangsta rapper is a bit of a stretch though
Gangsta Gibbs bitch
The Flopumentary 2….it’ll tank worse than PunchOut’s (aka Gunplay’s) bullshit album….he feel way off since leaving interscope records…. Smh
You just here hatin nigga, get a life.
PunchOut? Because a gang beating up on one dude is something worthy isnt it?
I’m more interested in seeing the tracklist. Will he conform to today’s sound or will he revisit the “Documentary” sound? I sure hope he kept his promise with all the producers he mentioned and that the three singles he put out will be surrounded by much better tracks. Please, Game, don’t fuck this up.
Preach.
Not even the slightest of chances it will surmount the first documentary*long live the 80s & 90s*
Can’t wait GAMETIME
game str8 beastin on these niccas
If he puts that ryda song on their, its dead
looks terrible come on game
we all gonna be surprised how good it will be. I believe in Game. That track on Compton soundtrack was a stunner….though I gotta say he is little bit Detoxing with DOC2, too many delays
I think he should make a song about him when he was a stripper..
No more claimin to gangbanger..no more name drop..no more G unit talk#maybe the album will be hot
The Game’s catalog is better than most rappers. Documentary and Doctor’s Advocate are Stellar. The Red Album is fantastic. Jesus Piece and LAX are solid albums, with a few poor songs. The rest of his shit is average. That’s still a pretty good track record. The new song with Drake is incredible.
wonder who he stole this cover art from LOL, this like the 9th release date. even his single with drake flopped
um no it didnt
this nigga always confuses me.. he’s a blood but always represent crips in some way. then he from COMPTON but represent L.A.. I love how he represent LA but he confused on that matter as well. idk nothing better then your first. probably your flows yes. but first album always a classic.
Compton, ingle wood, Gardena, Carson, Torrance all fall under Los Angeles County. Compton is a small city in what? Los Angeles County. He’s reppin for everybody in Los Angeles. Your confused Bc you never been or grew up here.
You confused Bc you only know what you see on the Internet. You can’t come to the streets.
nigga Compton in la
Bro stfu Ur probably from Wisconsin saying some dumb shit like that
This nigga aint write the first Doc. This shit is gonna be unbearable, watch.
If The Game features a million rappers on this joint like he did with blood money year of the wolf, he’ll never do a platinum plus again, if he goes all trap bye bye album sales
the game i have been waiting for this album for long. everyday i come online to check if this album is available. even i check online everyday just to know if this album is out.. pls let me know the specific date for the realise of this album
june 30th
PUSH BACK SMH
the entire rap game ft the game– documentary 2
I can’t wait. I’m a big fan of Game.
Shit pushed back coz it aint buzzing!
Game just got too corny and I think people caught on and just lost interest.
WE, AS THE PEOPLE, THINK YOU SHOULD STOP TO THINK CAUSE THERE IS ONLY SHIT COMING OUT OF YOUR MOURH
Reconcile with fifty and I’ll cop another one of your albums again. Until you do, I don’t care.
Game’s discog since he left is better than 50s discog. You 50 Stans are a laugh.
GAME STR8 BEASTIN ON THESE NICCAS
I knew it. The lack of any more singles says enough. At this rate i would not be surprised if it doesn’t even release this year.
I would want to see less features and name-dropping. Regardless Game’s music is still quite good.
Not gonna lie. I thought the final tracklist was gonna be much worse, but this actually looks good. Still a number of features, but not a clusterfuck of them like his last few albums. Might be the first Game album I will buy in a while. But will the album live up to its name? We shall see.
I knew there will be good guest appearances….you can see from instagram he worked with good artists….only em is missing :)))
but also there is few suckers who shouldn’t be there….that song Dedicated is good, but only when Game kicks in…
Same here, I’m especially glad to see will.i.am and Jelly Roll back. Hopefully the Kanye feature won’t be a line in the hook like Jesus Piece but at least a proper verse. Wish Game returned to the “sitting on Daytonas” theme with the cover though. As for the potential quality, I think it will be between L.A.X. and R.E.D. After this one only thing he has to drop is his no features / no name-dropping album he promised back then.
still waiting on his solo debut
Diddy, Fergie???..im sure he could’ve found some better features…bwhaha…Game fell off along time ago..
Jesus piece was dope…kill ya self
Better features like Kendrick, Kanye, Dr. Dre, Drake, Future? What album has features like that?
real artist dont need this much help #handicaprap
Betting Just Another Day is the only Dre production on there. Sigh.
Game steals: album titles, flows, album covers ec. He has no own identity. Then he sounds like Kendrick then like Shyne then like Dre. Then you ca tak him serious today he disses Jay Z and tomorrow Jay-Z is his favorite rapper. Is so gly that he needs a tv show to get some pussy.
Always knew the tracklist was gonna be good but this is better than I expected, maybe a couple too many features but not a big deal, most of them will be dope and it’s still got more solo tracks than his last few albums.
Good to see that Ryda didn’t make the final cut too lol
Game can eat a dick!
You a dumbfuck you can eat a tech n9ne to your brain the world would be better without you bitch
You fucking dumb mexican
‘Dedicated’ sounds bad… Hopefully it’s not how the rest of the songs sound like.
Is this a joint album or??? #JustAsking
Game icecube dre on a song wit will i am
Is like having kool g rap rakim big daddy kane on a record wit………pm dawn
5 solo tracks out of 19 tracks! Dis nigga z dead, he shuld spend more tym on reality tv. I hope he doesn’t rap ‘ 50 got a gun’.
No 50 no documentary 2, it’s a fact 50 wrote 5 of his best records on the documentary and he never been able to hot that standard again! Some good features and some terrible features I think I’ll pass on this one
Game even have a song called , New York, New York. For what if you so proud to be from Compton? This dude stays jock ryding. Doubt if this album will be worth the purchase.
50Cent didnt write anything besides a couple choruses. Game writes his own verses
@serv: indeed, but 10 years passed and those songs are still Game’s biggest hits. Plus a 50 Cent feature back then was the equivalent of hitting the lottery, and he had 3 on Documentary. Two of them went Gold, an achievement Game wasn’t able to repeat ever since. So maybe what @Yooo said was a stretch, but 50’s part of the first Documentary’s success is still hardly deniable.
lol the old was back because 50 wrote 5 joints for lol
wayyy to many features but i still think it’ll be dope
I know Wikipedia isn’t the most reliable source, but on the Documentary 2 Wiki page, it says that Dre produced two songs on the album, “Don’t Trip” (prod. by Dre & will.i.am) and the title track (prod. by DJ Premier & Dre). Fingers crossed that it’s true.
album hard, haters salty but on here and still gonna be listenning to the album back to back.
GAMETIME f*ck u p*ssy boys, stay listening to chingy and slim jesus f*gs
Album of the year! Period.
Nah…Dres album is album of the year…matter of fact, its album of the last 5 years.
Games first 3 albums are timeless to me , being from south central I’m glad to C game still releasing albums but damn come on only 5 songs with no features. Kind of dissapointed about that
You kidding me? Maybe the first 2…but the Red album sucked d!ck
LAX not red…
50 gave his album to game even dr dre can’t deny that. Let’s c d classic scrap he ll drop. Production frm dre q jones pharell timbo wil nt make up 4 50 writin skillz.
I’m waitn for the documentary 2 to flop so I can throw a huge party
The Future track for me personally doesn’t fit but the rest of the album is tight
Lol at the 50 stans, elano u a clown, get snitchys dick outta your mouth, games album gonna be hot
I’ll bet it gets pushed back again. No promo so far. Its gonna flop and sell 50k first week and 30k the next.
Dont know why just another day is on this album too…unless he remixed it
UPDATE 4: The GAME just announced a HUGE SURPRISE. The Documentary 2 will be a DOUBLE DISC with 38 tracks!! WOW!!!
Man the game is the realest nigga in the game other then jeezy but jeezy fell off Game I own every CD I’ve dropped I got Stop Snitching an stop Lying Outta all ur albums I thought jesus piece was the weakest but wen u dropped yr off the wolf u came back hot u top three living rappers with only yelawolf and jeezy ahead but see im from north carolina so southern raps is my style but the way u put 50 out there like u did major respect. U better the eminem to me with your lyrics dnt get me wrong eminem is as u say the best but U da Truth. Y dnt u do a song with yelawolf and ur artist skeme I see u put jelly roll on ur new shit so #BMEnSlumerican
Ur a clown a stripper aas bitch. Year of the wolf sold about 5 copies and this is selling maybe 10. Hes done. You lost credibility saying hes better than em. Put your clown shoes back on
just heard the album(the first cd). ive always been a big fan and i was really anticipating this album. but fuck! its terrible, most of them sound like throwaways and there is nothing impressive about it. The only ones worth listening to are: “Dollar & a Dream” “Documentary2” and maybe “Just Another Day”
I fux with game.But I never forget that line on one blood “you 36 and still rapping?…..uhhhhhhgh” how old is the game now?if he’s older he’ll be dissing himself if he raps that line..that’s why rappers or any other nigga,should never comment on another niggas age.Let hoes do that
All theses excuses, the album is musical excellence, deal with it, god damn fuckin weirdos
Top 5 all-time: 1. Drake. 2. Nas 3. Big Pun 4. Rakim 5. Game I think Game has finally moved his way into the top 5. He has a lot of good albums, a better catalog than most rappers. The Red Album and Jesus Piece are slept on. Game and Drake are two of the last real niggas in hip-hop today. I’ll always support them.
This guy lol. Drake and game in top 5 ever… go kill yourself
Drake is horrible. Did you hear his shitty talking verse on this weak ass album? I miss the early to mid 90’s when Hip Hop was actually good. Shit nowadays is just sad.
Drake haters love jay z plain as day or they on some weak meek milly music. Dont sleep on Big KRIT or KID INK theyre the future like it or not.
New school 1.Drake 2.KRIT 3.LUPE 4.GAME 5.KID_INK
Old School 1.Pac 2.Nas 3.Chuck D 4.Ice T 5.Ice Cube
I wonder if you cats listen to music.. That DOC 2 is nice… Just confused as to what ya’ll listen to.
Since the red shit i recognized hes been bitin his features styles.. Whackrapper… Its a shame some banger beats got lost on his albums by his weak skills
Not a fan of this nigga because he think he’s so much tougher than he is. Gonna listen via t*rrents lol.
Nigga steals flows of all his features. Nigga steals melodies. Listen to summertime this shit sounds like biggie’s big poppa. Nigga drops after single word a name. Cant take this nigga serious.
game/f………….still waiting on that solo album lmao
Never drop an album until either July when the school crowd is crawling the malls or in December when you got cash to spend on boxing day. Game is a cold talent, its a shame he never writes about current events. We need MCs to graduate their mind and build verses about motivation and knowledge.
I was gonna cop this but I had a change of heart lol
Lets see: Will I Am, Fergie,Drake,Diddy man this shit is sooo gangsta lolol
Game, you are dope! Loving The Doc.2!! I knew you wouldn’t let me down! !
I’m straight out ta Harlem but feel like I should of been from bompton do it for our culture game time I say the game 100
