The project saw 11,530,769 streams.

Fuck the Montanas, we ain’t got them trackin’ devices
The feds they be watchin’ and see us
Niggas wanna see us? Check the IG
I’m in the Villa throwin’ blood up like an IV
Don’t try me, Dej Loaf with the AK
600 million, 400 million from Dre Day, uh
Pablo Escobar in my hey-day, uh
Bringing off coke that’s a payday, uh
On a private jet that’s a mayday, uh
In South America on a vacay, uh

Escuchame chingatumadre, nunca me encontrarás , so para de mirar , no me controlas , te controlo! Controlo a todos! Me respetan! No se muevan , soy el Chapo
Say that shit!Game album is dope2 and 2.5 cop all of the 2015 cali records jay rock, Game and kendrick of course.
Not bad for Now being on an independent label
Considering how big Fetty Wap’s pop hits have been, he sure ain’t selling many albums. He’s this year’s Iggy Azalea.
Game’s last album sold 95,450, and 50 Cent’s last album sold like 45,000 lol Game is more popular than 50 Cent.
Somebody gonna try to downplay games numbers but omitting the fact this was a independent album and those number are actually good numbers but the trolls will always win
Plus this new rating system is horse shit. Game actually sold only 10,000 less albums than his number where Fetty Wap sold way less, the only reason he’s so high up is album streams which has nothing to do with ALBUM SALES
They get paid through some avenues of streaming though. This is not 1980. We can’t just go off cd purchases.
nas and scarface and dmx are MCs who I consider Legends Neither one appears to align themselves with wack sh*t when it comes to hiphop or in the streets…. So I always ask the people who dislike Game why would MCs like Nas and Scarface and Raekwon and big daddy kane and even new school lyricist like Kendrick constantly align themselves with a dude like Game… it cant be because he has money… cause also according to people who dislike game…Game fell off his broke hes washed losin all his money… So my question is why do People like nas and scarface make songs with Game ????? ITS CAUSE HES ONE DOPE MOTHERfu*kER!!! DROPS CLASSIC sh*t!!!
Disc 1 is better than 2 but still a good buy good work game
Game bounced back with Docs 2 and 2.5.
Game is dope as hell, went back to listen to The Documentary, what a dope album
