The Game Names Dr. Dre’s “The Documentary 2” Advice That He Ignored

    The Game released both installments of The Documentary 2 this month. Prior to the release of the two discs, the Compton, California rapper explained how Dr. Dre was involved in the follow-up to The Game’s 2005 debut album.

    Dre played a big part in the album,” The Game said to Hot 97 in June. The rapper-producer appears on The Documentary 2 selection “Don’t Trip.”

    In an interview with Billboard published today (October 22), The Game details some advice that Dr. Dre gave that he did not follow.

    “He said I shouldn’t make it a double-disc,” he says. “He said you should give people 10 to 12 songs because their attention span is so short. The longer you draw it out, people start to get bored. But I did it anyway.”

    There are 37 songs between The Documentary 2 and The Documentary 2.5. The first disc debuted at the second spot on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart. Sales figures for The Documentary 2.5 will be released Monday (October 26).

    1. rather have 12 songs of quality than 37 watered down songs….more is not always better when you throwing in throwaway songs, game

    2. Game that is why you are an idiot. The DR spoke and instead of listening, you came out w/ a shit album. So much for being the Dr’s Advocate… #GameFail

    3. I think both albums are dope one thing about Game he knows how to put together great albums and knows how to pick beats and he always kee

    4. some of the fans are clowns,,he gave us more music,,,and i like it,both albums are ill,bangan back to back in my car

    5. IMO both albums are dope as hell and to be honest these albums are on par or better with the Doctor’s Advocate. But opinions are like buttholes everyone has one.

    6. Fucking guy. He didn’t release a double album. ..he released 2 albums around the same time frame. In no way is that like all eye on me or life after death. I love game but that’s some ignorant money hungry shit

      1. It’s a double album. And it’s in the same conversation as life after death and all eyes on me. You’re acting like a week is a long timeframe. Nas and DMX did the same, but over a year

      2. Its in the same conversation according to WHO? You? Your opinion isnt.valid and Hip Hop heads have the last saying, not some lames from the hood or journalist from the suburbs who dont know ish about music

      3. are you fucking dense or just clueless to what your quoting/saying/arguing? biggie and pacs double disk albums were packaged TOGETHER, sold TOGETHER. I’m not bashing the albums BUT selling 2 disks separately with 2 price tags IS NOT A DOUBLE ALBUM lol.

        I don’t know how to dumb it down anymore for you besides maybe drawing you little pictures.

    7. the album has at least 12 very good songs. That lil wayne song is so real. I would say that if he made it 12-15 songs he would have a classic, but I’m fine with how he did it because even his average songs are much better than most of the rap coming out these days.

      1. skip the ones you don’t like. There are at least 12 very good songs on there. Thats more than I can say about any other rap cd that s come out recently. The lil wayne song, mula, standing on ferraris, don’t trip, step up, crenshaw, dollar and a dream, etc.

      1. ROFL! TRUE GANGSTER rap? Hahaha game is a former stripper that never gang.banged in his life! Its so easy to fool you and manipulate you kids nowadays. What a FAIL! These rappers are Entertainers.

    8. Ha nigga you should have listened to the Dr.
      Your album bored me on the first 10 tracks. Dr. Dre predicted that that shit will happen, and it did

      1. And I suppose you got John Blaze Sh*t? You got music out? You got anything out? Movie? Video? Restaurant? Car wash? Anything besides your hating azz mouth blood?

    9. And in a month everyone will forget about the album just like Dre Compton album. Them west coast rappers suck nowadays. Nobody in the Midwest is even playing their songs, not even on Radio!

    10. dre only CO- produced tracks on the G-unit documentry and talked on the red album and thats it but if you let game tell it you would think otherwise.#FANBOY

    11. game said dre said that……………..

      dre told me……..

      dre my mentor

      dre dont produce for me i just act like he does

      he use dre name to push a few units everytime he drops, he has been the featured artist onall of his albums lol Doctors advocate NO DRE LMAO

    12. game doesn’t make bad music but he’s redundant as hell. i give, i can’t hear him say “jay, biggie, 2pac, bloods or L.A.” ever again. i’m done.

    13. GAME – ” So this ninja wizard told me I should not poke the dragon. I did it anyways.
      HOT FAN GIRL -” Youre awesome. What did the dragon do?”
      GAME – “Burned down my career.”
      HOT FAN GIRL -“Who cares. You still got your money and get out of your contract earlier. Whats DRAKES number?”
