The Game is getting ready to add another chapter to his classic Documentary series with a new album, and he’s nearly at the finish line.
In a series of Instagram posts on Saturday (August 30), the West Coast spitter revealed that he’s close to completing The Documentary 3, the third in a series of albums that began with his 2005 debut and continued with a sequel a decade later.
“The Documentary is coming,” he wrote on the first post. “All you have to do is be patient & receive the blessing.”
“I been in the studio everyday for the past three weeks… 12-14 hours a day,” he continued in a follow-up. “[I] have been damn near able to complete this album in classic form through the support of my friends, family & fans.”
Check both posts below.
The Game talked about The Documentary 3 earlier this month, saying that he planned to release it 20 years to the day after his debut.
Apppearing on the Tacos & Shawarma podcast, The Game said: “I’m definitely gonna start the new album and I ain’t told anybody that. But yeah, The Documentary 3, I’m gonna go in hard and I’ma drop it the same day that the other one dropped. I’m up for the challenge. It’s gonna be tough.”
The Documentary — The Game’s major label debut and first (and only) project on Dr. Dre‘s Aftermath Entertainment and 50 Cent‘s G-Unit Records — was released on January 18, 2005. So if all goes to plan, fans can expect The Documentary 3 to drop on that date next year.
Despite his falling out with Dre and 50, The Game saluted both of his former collaborators for their involvement in The Documentary when the album celebrated its anniversary last year.
“18 years ago today…. A hip hop classic was born,” he wrote on Instagram. “All I wanted to do was tell my story & make sure my son would never live the life I did. @snoopdogg passed me the torch, @bustarhymes kept me focused… @drdre laid the foundation & @50cent helped put the puzzle together.”
He also shouted out Jonathan Mannion, the famed photographer who shot the album cover and booklet: “I took @jonathanmannion to the depths of Compton, California & showed him the heart of what I survived. He captured the essence of my city, my hood & brought to the world my vision. Always remember, it is no longer a dream once it becomes reality.”
Lame ass mark.
Keep it. We’ve heard all the songs about Compton and Dr Dre and bloods and crips and West Coast talk we can stand from you
Hater
Never trust a dude who gets a butterfly tattooed on his face
But do you trust a dude with an ice cream on his face?
The original Documentary aint even a classic. I cant mention one song of the 2nd one. Game has nothing to rap about. Biggest flop in hip hop.
Biggest flop in hip hop? Thats a reach, his first album is 5x platinum and his second went triple. There were much bigger flops in hip hop. First album if not a classic then it’s close to classic. Just saying. Stick to facts.
Game has released 10 albums, only the two first one were commercial successes. Thats a career flop if you ask me. And he did it to himself by burning bridges, showing up late and drunk to shows and dissing people for no reason.
And the only reason the first one is his best one is because 50 wrote some bangers on it.
It’s truly because he burned bridges. Game is a top-notch lyricist however. Don’t mean to drive-by like that but y’sll’s talk was interesting
Hope it does better than the last album.
i cant want to not listen to this
Drillmatic was so bad. i don’t have that much of expectations for documentary 3
Wtf complete ass take and a solid output from Game..
Your buggin it was 🔥 just too long
Priscilla Rainey would be happy
Priscilla Rainey would be happy
Priscilla Rainey would be happy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Priscilla Rainey would be happy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
game easily the best of all those clowns maybe only Ice Cube in the convo
Ice Cube found out half of NWA were undercover f aggots and that’s why he quit the group and went Muslim. Same with Ren. Once he realized he was rolling with a bunch of f aggots he took the publishing money and learned to play blues guitar like a boss.
Bro got it in him to drop some hot shit but I feel like he rushes his writing the last few years. He got the west coast flow, he really really need a great producer to match the music to his voice. Let’s see if he figured it out this album. From the recent clip I just saw, if the energy and flow is like that the whole album, Game might be on
When that thot he said would never see a penny of his money filed a motion to confiscate his house, the bitch side of him came out. The next thing you know that teenager he did a R. Kelly with and got her pregnant will be coming for him next.
No thanks.
