Before Game released The Documentary in early 2005, it was hard to imagine he’d have as well-received a career he’s had thus far. Label drama and beefs aside, the artist formerly known as The Game has built a formidable discography that few emcees can rival. For someone so inconsistent in his rhetoric, Game has been the model of consistency in music. As a result, expectations run high with Jesus Piece, Game’s last hurrah on Interscope.
JP sets it off with “Scared Now.” Simple and generic from its production to its chorus, the song gets no help from its subject matter, nor from Meek Mill’s easily-identifiable brand of Shout Rap. “Ali Bomaye” is a significant improvement in the production department, with rich productions and epic vocal samples. 2 Chainz and Rick Ross are merely tolerable on the cut (neither brings their best), but Game’s ear for production serves him well here. The album improves quickly, however, with the Kanye West and Common-assisted title track, and “Pray,” featuring J. Cole. “Church” is Game’s attempt to pander to a Southern sound (remember when Fat Joe “switched to southpaw?”), but redeems him on cuts like “Name Me King” and “See No Evil.”
As for the album’s religious theme, Game maintains it throughout Jesus Piece, but rarely does it reach its peak. A special exception is “Hallelujah” ft. Jamie Foxx, where Game hilariously spits about some in-Church indiscretions that seem harmless, but point to bigger issues: “And all this ass in here, how do I focus? / Collection plate bulging damn, pastor, you the coldest / …Yeah I know the chicken good, but your soul ain’t / And your outfit clean, but your nose ain’t / And I suppose that nobody a liar in here / If that were true, the whole church would be on fire in here / I’m sho’ glad we got a choir in here / To wake me up every time I get tired in here.” It’s a shame Game didn’t take the opportunity to explore his opinions or personal experiences with religion on Jesus Piece, given how clear it is that he has strong feelings on the subject.
Nearly a decade into his career, the complaints about Game are well-established, and generally warranted: he’s an incessant name-dropper to the point that it’s distracting, he’s essentially bi-polar with regard to his opinion of 50 Cent, Jay-Z, and a slew of other artists, and he revisits the same subject matter repeatedly. That being said, Game has crafted several outstanding albums through his ability to make extremely judicious use of varied producers (his ear for beats might be second-to-none) and featured guests. On Jesus Piece, these strengths aren’t nearly as prominent. The production is generally strong and memorable, yet inconsistent at times. Where the album really falters is with the features. Listeners can’t help but wonder whether Game sat back, identified Maybach Music Group, Young Money, and G.O.O.D. Music as the hottest crews in the game, and simply decided to pick a few from each. Sure, there’s a lot of talent amongst those lineups, but there’s also a lot of homogeneity. As the features go, so does an album so replete with them.
Jesus Piece ends up being the least compelling release in Game’s storied catalogue, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth a listen. Either way, Jayceon Taylor can look back at the collection of releases he dropped during his tenure on Interscope and walk away proud.
Amazing Album 5/5
Huge letdown, and I bought the first 4 Game albums.
Huge letdown, and I bought the first 4 Game albums. This has no authenticity in sound.
definitely making a statement for one of the top albums of the year all the songs are jams
DOPE ALBUM! 5\5
5/5
Dope
Very good album. HipHop DX being very harsh only giving it a 3.5. bet if it was some lame rapper like 2 chainz or rick ross youd give it 5.
This is the reason i dont fuk wit hiphopdx anymore
Terrible Review as always from Hiphopdx. Much better than RED album, i don’t even like any of the artists who are features except Kendrick,J cole pusha and Common and thought this was going to be a complete flop and wasn’t even going to give it a listen. I did and was suprised, the production is amazing, the only songs i don’t like at all are All that lady, Celebration, and I remember. With hiphopdx handing out 4 stars left and right i fully expected this to get atleast 4 stars but i guess since there isn’t promotion for this plastered all over the website like the red album it doesn’t get that kind of treatment
Game stans are mad lol
whoever gave this a 5 should hang their head in shame.
Decent album, nowhere near 5. I voted 3 since bum bandit fanboys have voted 5 but its probably a low 4 in reality.
I’d give it a 4/5
rating..
Just rating.
isnt that the same rating as the new wiz album?
i thought it topped RED and is probably on par with LAX. still, i wish these albums were as consistent as his first two. 4* from me
the game is a very talented lyricist.I think he is the GOD emcee not me
very good album of hiphop. should have give 4 or 4,5/5 . And I listen rap since 1989 so.
Negro please. You know this album is a classic stop fronting fuk boi
Too funny people critizising DX for their Reviews all the Time but still read & comment them LOL !!! You Guys better look for a Job outside the Internet …..
I read them for a laugh and to read the comments, the comments carry as much weight as the review by the editor
the game is a very talented lyricist.I think he is the GOD emcee not us.all his albums are dope i never thought someone will surpass us
..”least compelling release” ? more like most cohesive & complete game’s album to date,album deserve atleast 4.5 & u dont even talk about that “cant get right” joint same as “Name me King” 2 highlights off the album
except for “church” the album is great,& had mad replay value unlike the so called rap album off the year “GKMC” who had his low moment
DA 5 mics
doc 5 mics
Jesus piece 4.5
red 4
Lax 3.5
stop the bullshit them albums dont have 5 mics
Its truely more like:
DA 4.5
Doc 4.5
Red 3.0
lax 3.5
Jesus piece 4.0
Still think Red album was his worst album, the first half of the album was great and then the second half was completely terrible
Good album
fuck diz review n da editor of diz…..
this was a fuckin crazy album. thank you game!! u really made it back 5/5
lol the album was kinda boring
editor was on a crack??? Red album 4/5 n Jesus piece 3.5/5,HIPHOPDX IS LONG TIME FUCKED UP…..
Classic!
Good review. Game is:
– not original or inventive
– steals song concepts remember “first of the month” by Bone Thugs? What a cheap remake
– On some songs he sounds a little bit like Ross or Shyne
– Hellaluhah Hmmm i prefer Jesus Walks by Kanye
– On the song with Kanye he sounds like Kanye.
– Blood Diamnonds hmmm didnt Kanye did it first. First Game talks about diamnonds and now he is concerned with his peoples in Africa? lol
– I remember with Jeezy. What does Game say: i dont care if Ye or Jay hit that pussy????? So Game likes to fuck pussy after Ye and Jay?????
– Features are weak and have no talent!!!!!!
– Beats sound like it could be tracks by Jeezy, Ross, 2chainz etc.
Bottomline: Game is entertaining but not original and has no own identity.
God damn, he should take 5 stars only for that sick sunday supports.
His best work to date..great album
Terrible review. Just terrible. The reviewers glossess over the actual product reviewed, instead injecting his opinion of the artist that has nothing to do with the album. This may be the worst review I’ve ever read. He called this the worst album in Game’s career when in fact its the best.
How can one be that off?
Album is ok but it doesn’t sound like a Game album it sounds like a compilation
GAME OVER
Great album
dont agree with this review as much. this album is my favorite thus far. he’s stepped his game up incredibly since l.a.x
doesn’t sound like a Game album, disappointing.
You knew this review was headed downhill when this dude said Scared Now was simple and generic.
Really?
I guarantee this site will re-review this album. The credibility of the website is at stake. Hell, USA Today wrote a better review than this crap. This awful review will be a outlier from the rest of the world. That’s not a good look when you’re supposed to be a true hiphop website.
Scared Now is simple and generic!
Really????
“Scared Now” is the worst 1st song on an album in Game’s career. (See “The City” “LAX Files” “Lookin at You” and “Westside Story”)
It’s a fake-ass MMG beat without any energy and Game re-treads the same topics from 3 albums ago “I was tired of being 50’s dog” Also, it’s one of Meek Mill’s worst guest verses.
Yup, simple and generic sums it up pretty accurately.
I’m gonna fcuk with this album after what the comments are saying. Usually I don’t mess with his work. Holla back later.
3.5 feels about right, I guess. Funny that the review didn’t comment on how shamelessly Game jacks other rapper’s flows.
And as tiring as it must be for reviewers to cite Game’s name dropping on every album, it’s even more tiring having to hear it on every album.
1. The Documentary
2. Doctor’s Advocate
3. The Red Album
4. Jesus Piece
5. LAX
For all of those people saying it’s better than “Red Album” name me one track on this album that’s better than “Ricky” or one collabo that’s better than “The City” or even “Martians vs Goblins” Are there any songs on this where Game spits harder than he did on “Born in the Trap”?
Jesus Piece shits on Red Album. Are you dudes serious? Lyrically. Sonically. Direction.
However you want to look at it, its apparent Game was at a peak when he made this album. His maturation as an emcee is obvious as hell. This is his best work… by far when look at the totality of what makes an emcee excel.
Game’s a bipolar hypocrite.
if game says positive n negative shit bout mcz dats bipolar??? damnn……n yeah fuck da review just like fuck da police…..
here is da fb profile of editor of diz JP review,http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=5723391 ……………He is a fan of lady gaga……
hahahaha! i seen it.
Bad review, in fact this might be his best album to date.
Smdh. HipHopDx has just disappointed with this review. I feel like this album might be up there with Good Kid Maad City as one of the best albums of the year. 5/5
If its his least compelling, how does it get 3.5? Unless you believe everything else he did is 4 and better(which it isn’t). I’d like to know if there is a baseline that these editors review from or are they just personal opinion?
check out his facebook he loves gay acts like gaga http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=5723391
slava is a gay,look at those fb picz definetly he is gettin dat guys dick……
Wait! i heard different sbout this album. every body says it’s good.
SLAVA KUPERSTEIN (the reviewer) must be smoking angel dust or something. The fact that he doesn’t even mention Heavens Arms or Can’t get right, and barely mentions See no evil or Name me king just shows that he’s a hater. They are some of the best song on tha album. I reckon he only listened to the first half.
Scared Now is “simple and generic”- he says that like it’s a bad thing. Its exactly the kinda thing hip hop needs, all beats are getting too complicated these days and Game kills that track.
Anyway fuck HHDX, when they have people like this writing the reviews, how can they expect to compete with the top hip hop sites. I was a fan, but I’ve been gradually pushed away by a fair few shitty reviews and this is the icing on the cake. I will no longer be fucking with HHDX
word
check out his facebook he loves gay acts like lady gaga http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=5723391
yeah he is a gay,damn! matta a fact lady gaga fan…..
Yeah, this is a song by one of the bands he likes on his FB page http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9kyW4B08tQ
I’m all up for people having their own individual music taste, but come on, if you’re into this shit ad haven’t “liked” any hip hop artist on your FB, then you shouldnt be doing Hip hop reviews
Music is Music & I tend to think other wise GOOD JOB Game!
slava how come you dont like any hip hop acts on ur facebook. when do u listen to this albums. a jew knows how to put words together and he gets employed, he doesnt even like rap.
I Just found out slava(reviewer) is a fan of lady gaga on FB,smh…..
hg
Decent
average album maad stans
average album!!!! look like u been sucking slava dick,whateva he is going 2 get fuckedup on FB…..
Review is wack, HHDX slippin on this.
Best album of the year, easily!
Just from the comments, i feel game is pretty consistent. It seems it really depends on which album u feel.
You gave RED 4 stars and now you give 3.5 to Jesus Piece ?
This is probably the worst review ever made on DX, half the text doesnt even talk about the album
Best rapper alive.. if this is game’s last album im done with hip hop.. the rest of these rappers gay as fuck man..cyaaaa
Doctors Ad > Jesus Piece > The documentary > LAX > RED
This album is dope…..perfect 5….this is his 2nd best album some songs I cant stop listening too like “All That” and “Jesus Piece”
The biggest problem with Game is he lacks confidence in himself. Heres another good album that he cant completely take credit for. The tracklist itself can easily be mistaken for a DJ Khaled release. How can the listener connect with you when youre hiding behind features? Also, he lacks lyrical identity. At any given moment, he morphs into your favorite rapper and loses himself. This has always been a huge issue for the Compton representer, but now being 5 albums in, he comes off as the kid that keeps repeating the 4th grade for the same mistakes; he should just know better by now.
Hello i am a editor of Hiphopdx,stop hittin me wit some shitty message on FB,plssss! I am a gay! so what? datz ma personal life…..Wiz Khalifa: O.N.I.F.C. shits on jesus piece….
dope album
This Album is way better than I expected! Game most defiantly put in work! The Colabo’s and Hooks help the album alot; the production is damn good! Still think game is below average lyrically! Good Album overall!
1 star for the stans
rating should be much higher
rating should be much higher man
album is much better
check out his facebook he loves gay acts like gaga. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=5723391
hey check out this guys facebook he loves gay acts like gaga http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=5723391
I think it is a great album and well out together with the thought behind it. He talks about things that all ppl go through no matter your background. Your love of God yet in a crazy world trying to live right with many temptations.
i agree with everything you say except i feel like all of the “rich rapper talk” takes away from how easy it is to relate to. one moment he is talking about something that i go through in my own life, but then he brings up his lambo & designer clothing and loses me again. i mean he’s writing about his own life so this is expected, but i got so sick of hearing about louis vuitton every other line.
Another glorious miss by HHDX, how the hell do you chose editors to review albums? Slava Facebook almost make it seem like’s about to fall right out of the closet and then you have him review a RAP album and a poorly written one at that?
I could probably see Slava playing Like A Virgin, while shopping for some neon pink stilettos in a chinchilla robe sippin on a starbucks latte doing this review. HHDX needs to do much better, much…much better with these bias reviews.
Hahahahahahahaha- what you’re saying is completely right though. This is guy isn’t even a fan of hiphop if you check his FB. He likes Irish music by this band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9kyW4B08tQ
Come on HHDX, why is this guy doing Hip Hop reviews?
Excellent album
p
i remember him saying he would not be doing any name dropping on this album, but as we can all see…….
wrong album asshole
he said that was for soundtrack to chaos, which he changed to 5 then to Jesue Piece
get ur facts straight before talking useless crap
I can only say that I remember Game from the interview where he cryed about the state of HipHop just to become one of the idiots he was complaining about -.-
pcheck out his facebook he loves gay acts like gaga http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=5723391
plz tell me more than 1 person has that name, that cant be him!!!
AMEN with MEEK MILL & DRAKE lit this BOMB first…..JESUS PIECE….THE GAME VS GAME…..(the charts will tell)…*smile
I DON’T see it being better than
GSNT2
GK,MC
F&L2….
WILL IT TOP MEEK MILL..D&N….HUGE HIP HOP..(B.I.G)?????
this guy is a clown he should be fired for this horrible review. jesus piece is fire, get people who know about real rap to review albums
You wilding!!! This album is decent at most not great. I know he wanted that soulful hip hop but come out… He clearly jack Kanye’s flow on Jesuse Piece. I’m not even going to get started on the track with Jamie Foxx…imitating Kanye’s flow on that is quite disturbing. After all these albums The Game really needs to find his own identity and stop initiating your features flows. How you dissing Shyne but jack his flow on “See no evil”. RED album is def a better album. I’m not a hater either… I have all Game’s albums and mixtapes but this album is hyped up.
@Bloop -You claim to be a real Game fan, but if you actually were you would realise that in this album he doesn’t steal peoples flows and that in his mixtapes and albums he has always been versatile in his delivery. I’ll 100% admit that he did bite flows in RED and Yea on the Jesus Piece song he does that Kanye “ahh” noise, but other than that, it is just that fact that he is versatile. He can change up flows and adapt. He carries the album and the features actually work. Listen to it from the beginning to end a few times through and you’ll see he sticks to what he does. Claiming that he is tryna be Shyne, rappers sound like each other sometimes and are allowed to rap in differnt styles. Doesn’t mean they are biting flows. People have to get over this everyone is biting everyone else shit.
i like that you guys read the comments and spam them. hahaha slava is a jew with no ties to hip hop why is he reviewing shit. hahahaha spam my shit fools his facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=5723391
This review is off. This is arguably Game’s best release. I admit some of the features are not necessary (MMG) but the songs are still dope. He stays on topic throughout. Dope CD.
After welcome to our house got 4 and a half stars i knew never to take the ratings seriously after that!
Hiphopdx doesn’t want to offend them! fuck their feelings ! this isn’t as good as GKMC! snd neither was welcome to our house!……..but we all know that anyway.
Yo i thought this was a fucking great album, kept to the concept throughout and is Game’s best work since Documentary!!
Future Classic.
Game is the shit! But unfortunately, its like a church material type of albums. But overall, this is the shit!
Dope album
Too good, album is DOPE
3,5 WTF????
Dope album!
Game has had as successful of a career as he’s had based solely on excellent production, and a slew of hot features. His rhetoric has ALWAYS been inconsistent and lacking in depth, not to mention he’s kind of a bafoon. Having said that, he has somehow dropped some of the most memorable records of the last decade, but this album might easily be his worst.
What we can all expect from Game on any record is incredible beats, seamless production, and a few features from artists who will easily kill him on his own tracks. This was the case on the Red Album with Kendrick, Nas, and even Drake and Tyler going hard. You know your rhymes are lacking when Drake and Tyler the Creater are going harder than you.
Despite how much I dislike the Game as a solo act, the Documentary, LAX, and RED albums do have a strong force in my music library. This album will be a different story. Not a track to remember.
I think this album is DOPE! 4, 4.5* material in my opinion.
I kinda agree with points in the review, from my own personal perspective I gave it a 7 (and would have given it a 8 were it not for the usual Game flow jacking, and inability to carry tracks on his own) because I think it’s a good album, and I’m a huge 50 fan. IMO I think JP is Game’s equivalent to BISD, this album is meant for his core audience without a lot of radio hits, if someone was looking forward to French Montana/Drake/Lil Wayne/Ross/Meek Mill formula rehash on this one, not happenin. It’s one of those albums that will be judged more on sales in the end than the actual content and that is sad, any other period in his career before this current climate it would get its respect. With Game you know what to expect that’s why his fans can talk up the album and his haters can’t. His blueprint is on JP and as far as what he does, this is great. Someone else’s standards and music it might not be your cup of tea at all. so 7/10 for me, or around 3.5-4/5
dope
just great to listen to love the production
ill
2,5/5
Game ain’t a lyrical beast and he doesn’t get any better after all these years. He stays immature and childish.
The realest MC’s of today and some since a long time; Big Boi, Kendrick Lamar, Killer Mike, Scarface, Murs, Freeway, Roc Marciano, Reks and many others…
I know there a lot of The Game’s fans in here and that’s including myself but I’ll be real on this….. This album is not dope, great, fire, aoty, it is simply decent. Imitating the flows of your features is not impressive. It was ridiculous on RED but this took the cake. We know you are friends of Yeezy but how many times are you going to say his name on your album??? Come on that future flow he tried was horrible. Trying the high pitch Meek Mills flow??? Come on dude… And adding insult to injury the Kanye flow he jacked on 2 tracks is really, really disturbing. Somewhere, Shyne is laughing that Game jacked his flow on see no evil, yet you claim to be beefing with dude. i coped tthe album as I’ve done on all his albums and mixtape but doubt I can listen to it a 3rd time. 3stars
5/5
dope album !!!!
this review is a shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 stars for dx deleting my post
Ish is dope. Fuck What all em haters be sayin. If its so easy then get your ass in the studio and do it better.
This writer and anyone that thinks this album is worse than RED is just dumb RED was incredibly inconsistent and half as memorable as this.
goodbye game we will miss you
3.5?
WHAT’S WRONG?
THE FUCK? FUCK HIP HOP DX, THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN RED ALBUM OR LAX
RED WAS RATED HIGHER AND THIS IS LOWER?
BUNCH OF DONKEYS!
Classic album! Tracks 5 6 7 8 9 are fucking amazing
album has some good moments. overall…not impressed. doesnt sound like a GAME album at all. weakest of his 5 albums
the album is boring the best song is with pusha-t I thought this album would be a concept album about his conflictions in life I was wrong the title is just for shock value the lyrics are weak just name dropping clothes cars and chick shoes or he is catching a body that’s it.The best part of the album is the title.game been biteing a lot of rappers flows and song patterns yo some of the weak beats and hooks sound like something French Montana would do.game needs to step up his vocabulary also.game cant hold his own on a album at all is game a true solo artist? NO he is more like a featured artist but the funny thing is nobody features him.
Man how u only gonna have two non features the tracklist is awesome the CD is garbage
DOPE.
game fans always talk lyrics but nobody can post any hot lines
this album is fire 5 stars imo
damnn DX, really? weakest game album yet? no way 4 stars atleast

PROBLEM CHILD
Feels rushed..
The album is pretty dope. He had some crazy production.
This nigga just isnt the same anymore. Now that 50 isnt writing his shit. I was just listening to “The Documentary” today. What a shame…smh
50 lingo all in the documentary game cant even flow on the mic he just copy rappers now im starting to think game was a product of interscope his bars is so weak after the documentry
This album is a good one, listen to k-dot man that shit dope!
The features are there just to bring money in rolex records, after that
You only can expect classics baby!
you have to pay for features idiot
JESUS PIECE..during XMAS….
other company
LIKE A PRAYER…*smile
COP KILLER
THE DOPE SHOW…*smile
THE “infamous” AMEN….#D&N VS JESUS PIECE….*smile
truthfully this is a masterpiece
You could see how lame Game really is by watching his show on VH1..
then that makes you lame yourself since your watching it
will he ever drop a solo album?
he cant
Album has some dope shit…and some of the worst features in memory.
Sounds like Kanye made every track on the album.
na, maybe a couple though. he didnt produce any though. it was mainly Cool and Dre, Sap, Black Metaphor and a few others
don’t insult kane like that
this is only a half star better than nicki minaj’s album?? some of the reviews on this website are a joke
this review is absolute trash!!!! one of the best rap releases this year along with good kid and life is good, how you gonna give red (games worst album) 4 and this 3.5!?
album’s dope, dope production and dope lyrics. People need to support real hip hop and make sure this is number one
A rushed release in order to get off Interscope and sign to YMCMB.
Worst Game album so far, but still decent with a few highlights – 3/5
why would they pick him up? he flopping on majors already
Several sign have shown that where’s Game aiming at over the past one – one and a half year. The newest and yet most evident is on “Jesus Piece”, just look at the FREEDOM track’s lyrics:
[GAME]
The flow is Rakim with the Birdman cars nigga
Hold on I gotta take Birdman’s call nigga
[BIRDMAN]
Stunna, whattup blood?
“Whattup blood? What’s poppin’ my nigga?
Look, I know this the last one after this it’s straight Cash Money, my nigga
So, it’s YMCMB, wild life my nigga, let’s get it poppin'”
Rich game
One hunnid
Suwoo
… is that enough confirmation? No doubt he’ll be at YMCMB soon.
“Jesus Piece” narrowly inches out “L.A.X.” to become The Game’s worst album to date. It’s unfocused, never retains a cohesive sound and where The Game’s “R.E.D. Album” got creative with lyrical content and track concepts (See “Ricky”), “Jesus Piece” is every sound you’ve heard in 2012 mashed into one…and it simply doesn’t work. There are no canary yellow diamonds in this jesus piece.
I can honestly say its pretty decent for what it is. I can tell he rushed it but still sounds dope.
This is a great album most of y’all who don’t like must be fans of mike jones or Gucci this is good music great production and good feat 5 star
any lyrics from this great album you care to share?
In love with her ’til she went and let the devil in
She pop pills like medicine
She probably gon’ die, it’s startin’ to be evident
I told her, “Slow down, girl you’re heaven-sent”
I’m a thug but I got a heart like Kev in there
And I can’t let this girl throw her life away
Kick the door in the room and told her to put the knife away
Took her to the hospital like right away
She a angel with demons, the girl like night and day
Stressed out, parents getting divorced
Girl love ’em both, she ain’t tryin’ to sit in court
^^^^^weak
^^^^^weak baby bars

“I write my lifestyle ya’ll n*ggas is cheaters”
this album sounds like some unreleased shit by DJ Khaled and that aint a compliment.
Nice album, I like it!
better than last album. the title track is fire
CLASSIC… HHDX is crazy… this got the same stars as Wiz Khalifa’s ONIFC?
an above average album
A rating I agree with! This is a 7/10 album for sure.
ALI BOMBAYE
ALBUM OF THE DECADE.. Classic!
Easily cracks his top three not sure if it’s two or one at the moment but this album is amazing!
Above average rapper, so the album should be the same.
Another Game classic.
AMAZINNGGG !!!!
Bizzy Bone was and is the most talented rapper out of the Midwest. Jimmy Iovine needs to be trying to sign that man.
I don’t like this review. It’s not thorough. It lacks elaborate research and barely reflects Game’s career as an artist. You can say am a fan of Game, more so just in Hip Hop in general, but you guys really need to step up your album reviews.. Take the time and publish something worth discussion for us. Don’t just write up something on the day of its release to collaborate with its release. Horrible strategy. It really comes off like this person listened to the project within 24 hours and merely picked out a few things.
Man a good or bad album review is very integral for fans and listeners alike to decision if they should give these artists support. Nowadays I question the lack of sophistication, qualification and dedicate this so-called journalist (bloggers) are equipped with.
Agreed.. Fan or not of Game’s this is a horrible review!
What do you want them to do, meditate about it two weeks in advance? lol Most albums today can be summed up in one listen, sometimes even half a listen. In the case of Jesus Piece, there are a few ok songs, but overall, it’s definately not worth debating like it’s a complex album filled with mind boggling metaphors. With Game you sorta know what to expect.
I realize I have terrible grammar, so keep calm and carry on..
Almost as good as his first 2 albums.
Four stars.
Maybe 4 stars out of 10. LAX which took a little getting used too, would to me be rated above this. At least Jesus Piece is better than The Red Album, but Game still seems on auto pilot. Go back and listen to the first two albums. What happened to this dude’s flow?
im sorry this is a terrible fucking review. Anyone who does not think this album is better than red is fucking retarded.
cosign. red album was TRASH
THANK YOU!!! this shit bumps
Nah. I think R.E.D. was light years better than this.
two mary features
too*. And actually the features work. listen through the album
Im torn because I still think its better than Red Album but at the same time, Born in the Trap is one of the best hiphop songs in years and thats better than most tracks on Jesus piece but again Name Me King and See No Evil are crazy records too 4 starts for me, Taking off Church and adding Holy Water would have made this Much better, and some sort of record with a choir chant starting the record off, even Hallelujah as a album starter would have made things different.
Too much copying.
Scared Now he used the Gucci Mane sound, voice & style. Starting your album out dissing 40 Glocc.. or anyone really, a minus when it comes to the timeless / classic debate, this’ll be outdated in a month. Nobody cares bout that beef.
Ali Bomaye he used the Meek Mills flow. With the high pitched voice and everything. It is madd funny to hear him yell, “In these new Kan-yes!” though… Lol, at the last second to make it on-beat.
He a funny dude, lol. His personality carries most of the tracks, more than the actual rhymes.
The rhymes aren’t very insightful at all on 90% of the songs, compared to the way he hyped up the concept of every song being on-point with guest features that were hand-picked for each track based on their conversations with him about religion. Don’t hear that at all.
Jesus Piece, he actually went in. This was the song that inspired the whole album, he didn’t keep this concept in tact though.
Pray, another meaningful track with storytelling and reflection at the heart of it. He does copy flow & style on this track too, though.
Church. Big Sean flow. Track is funny, lol. Especially after the whole story from “Pray” right before it. I guess it’s the whole Righteous vs. Ratchet debate at play, lol.
All That (Lady) he revives and old D’Angelo song, right after lol. Song is dope. Lil Wayne fucked it up though.
Heavens Arms is the first song that actually sounds like a Game track. Verses don’t really match the hook. Too many Nas and Jay-Z references on the album. 3 or 4 are in this one song. Shout out for the Jay Electronica shoutout though, lol.
Name King is hard. The whole concept, the chorus and bridges are well-worded, they play the concept to the tee and take it back to what it’s bout.. that pen and paper. You can tell Game wasn’t trying to get outshined by Push. I like that Push has that effect on rappers, lol. Heavy VA influence on this album, actually. Trey, Chris, Push, D’Angelo, damn lol.
See No Evil, he sounds like the old game, voice and oil. It almost sounds like he liberated this one up out the vault somewhere, compared to the rest of the album. Tank played the back, thank goodness, and it works well. Of course, Kendrick is Kendrick.
Can’t Get Right, dope choir sample, producer almost made it sound tribal. Another song that matches the Jesus Piece concept, thank goodness. He went in. He dug up and old story of unreleased diss records towards Dre, for ignoring him in favor of Kendrick. That was compelling.
Hallelujah is banging, and hilarious. With the crazy Jeffersons sounding beat. Comedy, lol. I’m surprised Jamie Foxx didn’t do some kind of skit. He does use Kevin Hart on the album for comedy purposes though.
Freedom is pretty dope. Normal Game shit. Gun rhymes and Dre references. Nothing spectacular. He tried to switch his flow up on this beat at times, I’m not quite sure if it worked as well as he hoped. It’s funny that he disses people for copying styles on this record. He does this for most of the album. More Jay-Z references.
Celebration… out of place. Especially as the last official track. Another usage of anothers flow.. Bone Thugs, of course. Which is funny because I always used to tell my peeps that all these new rappers is heavily influenced by BTNH.
I Remember, he actually used Future’s flow and sound, even the autotune shit. TERRIBLE. The Hook is wack. The Verses is wack. The features is wack. Just… terrible.. nothing quotable or worth mentioning at all. SKIP
Blood Diamonds is hard. Should’ve been the intro. Or the last song. Could’ve worked either way. Or even at the middle of the album. Most meaningful song on the whole thing, and it’s a bonus. The track switches up and breaks back down several times, he comments on alot of shit. This could’ve set the tone for the album extremely well, along with the actual Jesus Piece record.
Dead People, the anticipated Dre record… kind’ve sounds like a throwaway Dre beat… again sounds like the old Game, vocally. Track sounds unfinished though.
Some of the best records didn’t make it to the album…
Young Black Jesus,
HVN4AGNGSTA,
Judas Closet,
and Murder (a song which he actually references on another track that actually MADE the album, if you pay attention to lyrics he mentions my and Scarface just sliced that last beat up. Won’t tell you what song. If you caught it, you caught it)
Album could’ve been so much better, with a little more executive production to maintain the direction and clear the songs that NEEDED to be on here.
Insightful review Fam. I think Game just rushed this album to full-fill his obligation to Interscope. Damn shame too, cuz this album could have been incredible with more focus.
Black jesus is an amazing song..I’d hope it was just a sample clearance issue. I think this album couldve been even better by just getting I remember, 2 chainz out, and Church.
Jesus Piece is actually a great song, but I’m surprised you didn’t note the HEAVY Kanye influence. Even though he’s featured, Game’s delivery screams Kanye (especially the hook). I wonder if he asked Kanye if could say “Huhhh?” like him.
Drinking game: Drink every time The Game name drops. Wack ass album at least has some solid guest spots
lol for real. the first song alone will get you drunk (if you’re drinking shots)
One thing you can never call a Game album is boring.
Dope,dope ,just dope.thank u Game
Nigga copies so many peoples flows lol
I say 4.5/5
5/5 for me, best album I’ve heard all year. My opinion..
thats gkmc or nas life is good
smh clown
Bruh, or girl, fuck you, realshit. I ain’t ask you shit, did I?
I don’ listened to this album like 10 times, since it leaked, I don’t see a flaw in it no where.. Album of the year, like I said. 5/5
u fuckin stupid nigga GKMC best album of the year bitch
Trouble$:
u fuckin stupid nigga GKMC best album of the year bitch
“Nigga STFU! If GKMC is album of the year to you, then that’s cool, but Jesus Piece is better than that shit to me!and I like GKMC, but Jesus Piece is better to me, it’s all opinions. Damn, tired of all you Kendrick Lamar dick riders! I hate you niggas. Chill the fuck out, lol”.
I still find myself liking this album more tahn any other this year. HAllelujah, Name me King, Jesus Piece, Ali Bomaye, Pray, Can’t get Right, Heavens Door. Those are all on repeat.
Again the problem was what Slava talked about, label influence. The song Church with hitboy production just sucks and reminds me why i fuckin hate the new era of production and rap. 2chainz verse is so corny I laughed, and the young jeezy song is disugstingly bad. Outside of that this is very good. 3.5 is definitely low, though I know the xact reasons. Kendricks album was lyrically quality but to me noen of the songs had a lot of replay value. I like those standout tracks from here better
surprised they only gave this 3.5 definitely a lot better than red imo. i enjoyed it, i was expecting a 4. whatever, i guess 3.5 is about right truth be told. pretty solid album though and games best since lax
OHH SHIT!! DX GAVE AN ALBUM A 3.5 REVIEW??? I AINT NEVER SEEN THAT SHIT HAPPEN YO!!!!!!! -____-
this celebration remix is fucking dope btw.. How the fuck is this not tearing up the charts
people need to stop tripping over features… All Eyez on Me had 27 tracks and 37 features on it… features are a part of hip hop albums and always have been…
Features don’t devalue an album in anyway as long as they fit in and are good. They only thing features devalue is the weight behind an argument that “(insert MC) is definitely top 5, just look at this classic album.”
Tech n9ne, raekwon, dr dre, kanye, GZA have all came out with solo albums filled with features that are praised. Tech n9ne even comes out with compliations(welcome to strangeland) that are great. As long as they fit with the album then why bitch about it? Plus Game has good chemistry with whoever he jumps on the track with, as far as this mimicking stuff goes i truly believe it should be a positive instead of a negative.
yeah for weak rapper tryin 2 get paid
Only built for cuban linx, liquid swords, MBDTF and all eyez on me are weak rappers trying to get paid? LOL ok…
he is a name dropping fanboy..i like his stuf but only in small doses. quit tryin to be 50 or hov arready
I know right ? I heard him say different variations of Lil Wayne’s name like 5 times on this album. WTF is wrong with him ? lol
A lot of people say they don’t like that “Church” song, but that shit was cool to me, King Chip killt that shit, and Trey Songz sounded smooth on the hook. To be honest, I can’t find one song on the album thats wack, except maybe “I Remember”, and I wouldn’t call that wack, just not feeling it. Maybe if Future wasn’t on the hook, it would be better, nothing against Future though, lol.
damn totally agree with all that, celibration and i remember are the weakest tracks
listen again so…
This is my fvorite game album since 08′ well worth the purchase
Game got a great ear for beats even tho his name dropping does piss u off sumtimes ive never heard a bad album from him even LAX which everyone says is his worst was fuckin nice
not every song on a wack album is wack…. but lax is his worst collective album
5/5
wft
WTF???????
3,5??????
I think people are over hyping this shit for sure, and the album could have been so much better. i mean why the fuck is this celebration vid here not the main single!!?!? and then you got the jesus piece song “featuring kanye” he says a few fucking lines big deal, why no verse!? just like wiz in the gay celebration version its like why the fuck is he even there?? lol too much lil wayne on this album for me, all this shit talking about it been games best album get the fuuck outta here!
i totally agree my friend…. i be tryin to tell ppl
jesus piece good tracks
scared now
pray
Heavens arms
Name me king
dead people
Holy water
Blood of christ
thats 7 outta 18
wack album really
ITS A BORING ALBUM
yeah album is way below his usual standard
i do like church and freedom but yeah not his best album
co-sign nigga album weak imo
ha ha ha ha
thank god this nigga game done his 5 albums… he can go suck my dick now
2/5 for me on par with lax
having fun replying to yourself?
should have been a ep
yeah maybe
“ill eat a bitch after jay hit it”???? WTF game got gay bars gonna put his mouth on a bitch pussy after a nigga pull his dick out
yeah very weird
yeah me and my peoples was talking about that line like damn nigga on jay dick that bad
yeah those are the classic lines he spit on the album LMAO
his stans not gonna comment on that one they gonna act like he didn’t say it ahah
so you wouldn’t fuck boyonce? Jay-Z had his dick in that a million times, i’m sure. idiots!
**Beyonce
LOL. What song does he say that on?
“i remember” haha
this shit is classic. yall give the slaughterhouse almost a perfect rating when it was one of the biggest flops in hiphop history. this should atleast be a strong 4.
idiot flops don’t have anything to do with the actual review this album will flop also
I can’t stand GKMC dick riders, like forreal, y’all the type of niggas that make people not like K.Dot, even though I fucks with Kendrick, but y’all niggas got to chill. GKMC is not better than everything, damn! The album is good, I’ve listened to it about 30 times, I love the album, but y’all niggas act like ain’t nobody better than the nigga. Niggas got to compare GKMC and Life is Good to everything, STFU please!!!!!
exactly too many k.dot stans. up in this bitch.
this shit is classic hiphopdx is clowns for this fucking ratings!!
cmon everbody lets help game make HIS next classic
WHAAAAAAT ????
THIS ALBUM IS THE SHIT !!!
ITS A CLASSIC
FACE IT
this review was pure BS!
ALREADY MOST DISCUSSED ?
KEEP GOING AT IT AND THIS ALBUM WIL TURN CLASSIC BEFORE GKMC
IT JUST MIGHT OUT SELL 50 UP AND COMMING ALBUM
no it wont
Garbage! Game has the same issue that most of the niggas with talent in the game have…Chasing that flavor of the month bullshit & having the wrong people with him in the studio! Just think about the quality of his debut with the production, the limited amount of guests, the sequence of the album…now think about his last 3 albums, all of them are the opposite of what the debut & even Doctor’s Advocate brought to the album. If he’s gonna keep putting albums with lame ass production and overdone guest appearances, I don’t even want to hear anymore of Game’s music.
People need to stop hating about the number of features. Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy had 26 features on a 13 track album (inclusive of all the people who were on “all of the lights”) and that was a great album. This is also a solid album.
Don’t get so worked up about it. Just sit back and enjoy the music
MBTF is for people who wear capri’s and skinny jeans and like fish sticks with extra tartar sauce. TRASSSHHHHHH!
infact after wtaching this video here it has confirmed you are infact a fuckhead.. what an insult to bone thugz not making their version the hit single,cause that shits hot..but naah you go ahead with a bunch of shit cunts instead for celebration, fuckin trash man.. about 3 good songs on the album, and by the way this album is boring as fuck, sick of hearing you make up to jay z, just a load of shit talking with shit beats and shit people
Game cd is goin inn on all yawl. Nice cd keep up the good work n like on the West if your not liked…FUCK EM!!!
I knew the 50 Cent fans would show up sooner or later. I saw nothing but compliments early on today and i was shocked.
TRASH!
I think the album is a 3 out of 5. There are some silly beats on this album! But too many guest spots. Way too many. The other thing that I didn’t like was Game seemed to bite the hell out of certain artists flows, and it ruined the song for me personally. For example, on Hallelujah, he sounds EXACTLY like Kanye on the song. On the song with him and J. Cole, he sounds EXACTLY like J. Cole. Just comes off as lazy or too much tip riding. Game is a decent mc when he wants to be, but he pays a little too much “homage” to that group of people he shouts out at least 80 times an album Dr. Dre, 2pac, Biggie, Kanye, Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem, Snoop, and 60 times…50, Wayne, and G-Unit. I would love to hear this dude rhyme without all the name dropping and style jacking. But the beats and some of the rhymes makes this solid….nothing amazing, but solid.
LOL you’re right he sounds exactly like Kanye on that song. Even down to the accent. Kinda suspicious…
HHDX you need to fire Slava Kuperstein for writing such a poor review. The review should be written from a Hip Hop fan’s perspective. I’m more of a 50 cent than Game fan and even I can admit that this is a nice album and Game has impressed. It is too obvious that the reviewer really does hate Game though, and despite his attention whore acts etc, you can’t deny he’s delivered on this
Game has no more excuses. Now that he’s off Interscope and has freedom, I want to see what he does. No more features and gimmicks
m,
Oh lawddd this shit is stupid dumb doppeeeeee
Album of year !!!
I think there is reason to hate and not hate at the same time.
There are some dope beats on there,
Some features work well: King Chip, Kendrick makes sense, ect.
Some features don’t work: Too many to name
I would give it 50-70% 3.5 tops… Its not that the Game isn’t dope.
It would be as simple as game getting the producers from Documentary & Docs Adv to do his next CD. IDK whats stopping him from getting beats from buckwild, hav, dre, blaze, red spyder, and the other producers he made classics with?
Nobody wants to hear those producers in 2013, except DRE. You’re in the minority.
“Jesus Piece ends up being the least compelling release in Games storied catalogue”
^^^I call bullshit. It’s far more consistent than “R.E.D. Album” (which was a nightmare and very in-cohesive).
This is his best album since “Doctor’s Advocate”. Not a stellar album, but mostly solid.
Album of the year!
AFtermath, aint nothing after that.
bullshit review
I work at Music & More by Williams in York, Pa 717-843-7071 or Musicandmorewilliams@Yahoo.com. I had a chance to listen to the album while I was cleaning the store around 2:30 today. Either you love Game or don’t. I thought that I read an article on HipHopDx where he said that he wouldn’t name drop so much on his current album? Besides that small issue, I really didn’t have a problem with the cd and I believe the 4.16 rating by HipHopDx is fair.
How in the name of Jesus did this album get half a star less than R.E.D.?? HHDX are often dope, and a 3.5 isn’t far off the 4 that ‘Jesus Piece’ deserves, but I question the judgment when R.E.D.(and L.A.X.) have 3-5 filler tracks and ‘Jesus Piece’ none? (I Remember is walking on thin ice tho..)
This album deserved 4 stars.
5/5 album. This was a weak review wtf up HHDX
indeed top album
This review is so inaccurate. The album was amazing, his best since doctor’s advocate.
just copped. one of the best albums this year though rap’s had a lackluster year (with a few exceptions roc marciano etc.). hallelujah is fire.
Amazing album, Game doesn’t disappoint.
I’m trying to understand why a nigga like Game fucks with guys like Ross..
Money
Money money money
Game plays those wackass rappers like a piano!
Only bad ongs were Church and I remember. You leave those two off, were looking a great album. I dont hink labels realizze that by adding the filler tracks you ruin the praise and critical reviews; thereby reducing the attention the album receivers. Its not worth the extra thousand single sales by 10 year olds or girls.
Sampling was great. All the sampled song like Ali Bomaye, Hallelujah, cant get right, jesus piece, etc., were sick. This was a real good album for todays rap.
yeah agree about those two songs. the uk standard version leaves off church and i remember, which makes it a perfect 10 imo
5 stars dope album
It’s funny because all of you at HipHopDX give Game a ton of love all year long and have always seemed to be a big supporter of him throughout his entire career. When it comes to album reviews, I want no biased opinions and I think you guys do a good job for THE MOST PART. However, its when I read comments like “he name drops too much” when I get irritated. No surprise with the name drops here, he has been doing it for years so get over it. To me though, the fact that you give this album a 3 1/2 stars is very stupid. The production is on point in this album, although it may not be his best album, it is clearly up there and should get atleast a 4. You guys tend to give high ratings to classic rappers that dont seem to deserve it but at first chance to rate a Game album, you go the safe route with 3 1/2 so that you dont piss of too many people but also dont praise it. The person who wrote this review is not very good at their job. The fact that you say it is the least compelling of all his releases is moronic. I think we can all agree this is better than RED and LAX. From top to bottom, production and lyrics are on point. Yes there are too many features, and yes Chuck Taylor tends to name drop and copy some of his features flows, but he has improved significantly on this album. I am willing to bet that you will be putting this album on your year end awards for your list of top albums of the year just like you have done for all his other albums after giving it mediocre reviews. Man up and stand behind your opinions, dont act like Roling Stone who often gives albums average reviews only to years later fix it and give 4 or 4 1/2 stars (example- Raekwon Only Built 4 Cuban Linx). I will say scared now is probably one of the weaker cuts and one of his worst intros to an album, but it isnt a bad song and the rest of the album is very good. My rating is 4/5 which you should have done. Oh thats right, this isn’t a legendary rapper that you will rate at least a 4 just to save face regardless of whether or not they put out a good album. I am a big fan of this website and constantly visit it, but I believe you have gotten this one wrong like you have others in the past. Look at what the rest of the critics are saying about this album and compare it to yours and see the difference. Get your facts straight
I salute your comment sir!
You just ethered DX and if they have any sense at all then they will listen to the bloggers.
This SLAVA KUPERSTEIN needs to be fired ASAP!
Wat u talkin bout nigga??? Handful of good tracks and dats about it. Scared now is garbage. Most is mediocre. Only fire track is Cant Get Right…awesome banger. Bonus tracks is garbage too…need I go on…
dis right here has to be one of the dumbest niggas round. Did game pay you a 20 sac in crack for that comment or did you just suck his d for that??? FACT: my little nigga keel-keel from over on hickory an ceder don made dem beets years ago and nigga game just up an stole em for himselvs. dude been takin my other homie’ poppa choons hooks since i was like 15. in my hood we call “Game” a june bug cause thats all he is, just an annoying little bug that dont know when to shut up. bottom line: jesus piece ** – das 2 stars!
BoomBoom Room aint got his mind right, he be buggin if u ask me. I’m from Watts, California and Game not only runs our coast but the country too. I grew up hangin with some cats that ran with big Fase 100 and Billboard in Bompton and from the start we heard about this cat Game who in 2 years secured a deal with Aftermath and went 2 Times Platinum on these bitches. Game is the realest rapper out and has never made a Wack album…I give dis shit atleast a 4, I think the editor F’d up on this rating. I agree with Jnr, Taylor Eithered DX. Everyone stand up and make this review go down and have someone else rate it cus I Know for a fact DX has sum smarter cats up in the office. Bottom line, Game and Kendrick have the 2 best rap albums of the year, and u can’t fault anyone for choosing one over the other…We got 2 classics which means the LEFT COAST IS WINNING….THE WEST IS BACK!!!!
Nigga i know pices of fresh wonder bread das harder then nigga game n dat shit is soft! west cost is straight 15 years ago just like dem filas you be sportin ya wack ass honkey! yea i may be from da cpt but i know where the mecca of rap is and dat be with my nigga lil tunchie and da ymcmb! holla at ya boi doh! get at me doh!
Fila get off dis niggaz dick son. 2 times platinum cuz of ferrari and u know it! u and game is soft niggaz! get yo shit straight! U da clown still preachin bout Suge and Death Row. Houston Tex where da tru scrilla is son. Learn somethin cuz…
Game destroyed 50’s empire.
West Coast!!
This review is bias. This album is probably his best since the Doc. In fact, the review takes the same stance to many songs as other reviews. Allhiphop gave it an 8/10 – thats more reasonable. But the public speaks here– Go pick up this album!!
There’s a reason everyone is putting above a 4 here!
“R.I.P George Jefferson. Niggas moving on up … and I know Weezy personally”
^^^ I bet that intro went over yall heads.
why? its a simple line don’t act like game got bars he just dick riding
ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME WERE CAN YO GET THAT HAT LAYZIE BONE WAS WEARING THE BALCK AND GREY ONE ITS SICK AF
Agree completely with the review, except the star-rating which I would have given only 3 stars. The majority of this album (incl. first 2 tracks) are mixtape quality.
Type of fuckin review is this? It’s damned if he do damned if he don’t. He giving you club bangas, real shit and even on the club bangas he spittin better than your average club song. Ya’ll gotta understand we in a different time frame where he can spit a strong hip hop album club music is what’s gone make HIM MONEY. So I think he did a good job meeting the middle which is mainstream vs. hip hop. Now my problem is his playing with Jesus which is VERY QUESTIONABLE. Make me feel like I’m doomed to hell for listening to his album kmsl
Church, Pray, All That (Lady), See No Evil Hallelujah all go hard
what a horrible review, this album is definitely one of the years best
Album is dope!!
This album is a banga above today’s standards for sure !
and I could honestly say I never was a fan of his;but this is quality shit regardless of my preference..
come on DX you know Dj Khaled put a good cd together with this Jesus Piece….. i mean The Game
Then you mean ‘Pac was Dj Khaled to?
Game got 19 features on Jesus Piece
2Pac got 18 features on “All eyez on me Book 1” and 20 features on “All eyez on me Book 2”

shit is dope…… idk why so many people hate on this dude has put out nothing but solid ass albums
Definitely deserves 4 stars the least, 4.5 the most. No wonder why I don’t frequent this site. And isn’t this the site that gave Game awards for some shit that they seem to do at the end of every year?
Go get the album, get the Best Buy Deluxe. Holy Ghost and a Dre track are the bonus. And those are dope songs as well. And in case you haven’t heard all of the other songs that he didn’t get cleared for the album, I suggest you listen to those as well. Judas Closet ft. Nipsey, Rollin ft. Z-Ro Paul Wall Slim Thug, Black Jesus, Celebration Remix ft. Bone Thugs.
And whoever says Church is a wack song, you’re retarded. That’s gonna be a great club song. I’m sure that’ll be the next single after All That (Lady)!!! FOH!!! Name him King! Since there’s no halves. 5Stars
you crazy
A… 5… Really???
So its a classic up there with ready to die and doggy style…
get your head outta ya assssss
average album
damnn ppl say hiphop is dead wake up !!!!! Gj Game !!! Pure dope
I LIke Game, but not this albums
another hold my hand in the booth album cant make a solo album to save his life nigga been riding waves since he dropped probably gonna sign with that british singing bitch
86 people gave it a 5 out of that 86 maybe 12 will buy the album
most of these rappers aint real niggas. Word, Nas bankrupt never was a drug runner, Lil Wayne aint no blood, Jeezy aint no BMF, 50 a snitch, Game a stripper, 2pac a ballerina. None of these niggas real you guys. If they was all real they all be dead now. Like it or not Ross is the new biggie.

Who rate songs like this dick head
This Jesus Piece album fuckin sucks, it sounds like a stupidass mixtape and the features suck, beats are not good. Even red album was better than this shit. Game fell off, stop rappin if u aint got nothin to give to rap. Even khaleds album this year was better than this shit. K-Dot hiphop album of the year.
The albums alright just not as good as I expected it to be. Many people called it his best album since “The Documentary”. I laughed at those responses cuz they must have forgot about “Doctors Advocate”. In my honest opinion I think Game could have done without the large quantity of guest features. Hes capable of crafting good albums on his own. Unfortunately hes a tend hopper and that greatly affects his music and the perception he sets off with his fans.
Games a good rapper but if you continue to overload your albums with guest features then its not really YOUR album. You can’t be a Dr. Dre because he creates classic material that STILL stands to this day. An artists album is a testament to his body of work, his art and understanding. If you fill it with other guests then its no longer your body of art.
I hope Game understands this cuz you said you were rededicated to Hip Hop on the R.E.D album yet it didn’t live up to the standards you portrayed. If you were really rededicated then you would have stopped following trends. You can’t keep on following Lil Wayne and Rick Ross. They aren’t good rappers as you are which is why they can’t hold an album by themselves to which is why they have an abundance of guest features. Game just DO YOU and you’ll see the difference in how many fans come back to you.
Agreed, Game is dope. He needs to rap like what he did in The Documentary.
Uh The Documentary was the same thing hes doing now. See i hate people like you who stay rewriting shit. The Documentary was him basically having the same type of production style that was famous for Aftermath artists at the time (ie 50 cent) and that gangsta shit was popping so that was what he was rapping about. I swear i hate mfs like you who base everything on the popularity of the an album. Doctor’s Advocate is his best album but cuz it didnt sell the samem, he wasnt a new artists and all thew news about the G-Unit hoopla/beef was around then ppl like u play it off. Not just with Game with anyone in hip-hop with a dope debute album.
I agree and please stop the name droppin dogg, damn.
NOT SURE what this website is smoking… but this is the best album game has dropped from the doctors advocate. All tracks have replay value and his lyrics compared to the documentary days.. damn.. for real.. is that even a question..?? he lyrically outshines every guest on this album. Production has always been there for game, but great overall sounds has not.. and jesus piece delivers that all the way.. how many albums now days can you listen to without pushing “skip” (a very select few) this should be rated a 4 star min, its a very solid album and the features are perfectly placed in the right areas. you couldnt even tell Jamie foxx was on hallelujah cause hes singing background or french Montana was on the record cause he says 1 thing or when fabulous’ verse fades out because that’s all the track needed….. anyways.. im a fan of hip hop music and the general public always likes to see a winner loose.. that’s natural.. but lets be real and give credit where we see it -100
this is actually the best album of the year behind gkmc
3
2nd best album 2012..
Damn is Game even on this album? Too many features, and when Game does rap, he’s jackin someone else’s flow.
Fantastic album.
3.5? This album isn’t Game’s best work, however the production and lyrics are very decent. This album deserves at least a solid 4. “Jesus Piece” is one of the best albums in 2012 thus far, therefore it deserves a way better rating. Step Up HHDX!
4 isnt way better than 3.5 u dumb fuck lol.
how does “very decent” production and lyrics deserve a 4?? that sounds more like a 3-3.5 to me. too many dickriding fans out here today.
Imma preach to y’all for a minute. I can’t listen to this $#!t anymore. Joe Budden is killin it and gets no respect while game be gettin all these comments. F*** game and F*** u too. BUDDEN!!!!!
Lol.. Game > Budden
Review is right on the money. So So album. Not bad but def not his best work. Rating of 3.5 is spot on.
DA 5 mics
doc 5 mics
Jesus piece 4.5
red 4
Lax 3.5
greeeat album bws 4 life
Dopeness at its finest
4.75 he needed at least another song with no features I wish he would’ve included at least 2 of bus songs from Sunday service also. Not a disappointment but it is a food album and Kevin hart added just that little more. 4.75
lol at everyone saying this review must hate the game. 3.5 is a good, generous rating. not every album is god enough for a 4 or a 5. get over it.
The production is fantastic, what are you talking about?? did you not listen to “Name Me King”? But even besides that, overall it’s great as well.
And how do you listen to this album and NOT come away from it thinking Game didn’t absolutely deliver every single detail regarding his views on religion.
Also, Game’s flow has changed a bit, and for the better. Some of the songs sound like tracks off of “good kid, m.A.A.d city.” (That’s a very good thing by the way)
End-note: “Pray” is one of the best songs of the year.
Oh, and for the record, this is a 5-star album. I compare it to K Dot’s debut studio album. There’s so much serious soul-searching that Game does here, I can’t ignore or deny it. he keeps it 100 and a half on every. single. track.
also, could Kevin Hart do a skit on every rap album from now on? shit is hysterical.
dude he doesnt even have his own flow. he just uses, meeks, future’s, biggie’s, kenye’s, etc.
listen to “Ricky” and then come tell me he has no flow. That song is a classic.
and Jesus Piece just reconfirms in my mind that Game is way past LAX cuz the R.E.D. album was a classic and after listening to it over and over, I’m beginning to think “Jesus Piece” is too. it just flows so naturally. just my opinion is all.
No option for 4.75 so 5 it is give credit where it’s do he changed his whole album around if you a real fan you know it was supposed to be called 5 but game respects trey and the only song he saved was jesus piece. He clutched it out
Game never really disappoints at album time for me. This is no exception. This shit is getting banged to death
bizzy looks like such a faggot haha

ali bomaye is my favorite track on this album, overall its a 4.8 for me
…THEN AGAIN, EXPECTING THAT GAME WAS GONNA TALK ABOUT RELIGIOUS SHIT THE WHOLE ALBUM IS NOT ONLY UNREALISTIC, BUT DUMB AS FUCK!
THIS ALBUM IS SOLID, DEFINITELY BETTER THAN MOST OF THOSE UNDERGROUND NERD ALBUMS THAT YALL RATED HIGHER.
Exactly i see these mothafuckas rate all these nerd albums and shit like (Undun wasn’t no dam 5) high. They gave Slaughter house 4.5 mics. Nerd shit. And i fucks with Buddens, and Royce.(the other two is cool too) But they shit was wack. To much nerd shit going on.
damn dis Album nominate this Best Album of Game of all time..Game was right when he said it was like “Chronic” 5/5
I went on Itune see the Album rated too high I went ehead bought it Blood Diamond is dope but seems like All tracks are hits!
3.5 WHAT DA FUCK ! HHDX IS PROBABLY RAN BY 50CENT , GET DA HELL OUTTA HERE …. 4.5/5.0 NO LESS ….
5/5 !!! HHDX IS FRAUD … MISLEADING LIKE A MUTHAFUCKA …..
I do not even consider this to be a legitimate review. There are parts of it where it is clear the author didn’t give each track their full and undivided attention. Listen to “Ali Bomaye”; 2 Chainz and Rozay spit fire, while the reviewer states that they are merely “tolerable.” The reviewer is either going deaf, having an ulterior motive for writing that shit, or both. Also, they’re probably a dick.
I know this will probably be deleted cuz I “said some mean things.” whaaaaa. what are you twelve years old?
Stop mislabeling excellent albums and I won’t go tell you to go suck a dick.
And I’m not a “Game stan” or anything like that. I’ll be the first to say that I thought LAX sucked 80% of the time. I even think DA is OVERRATED by all the people who say it’s UNDERRATED.
All I know is that Game released a classic rap album last year–yes, I’m talking about RED album. That shit was straight up hip-hop; “Ricky” is one of the great rap songs of the past two years.
“Jesus Piece” is a classic modern rap album. Listen to “Pray.” Or “Can’t Get Right.” What
You gotta be shitting me dx
superb album … reviewer = uninformed illogical hater

Go listen to something else then if you don’t like it. shit’s pretty simple
I love how people bitch and moan about the abundant amount of features on this album but then get pissed when they find out Kanye didn’t spit a verse on the title track. Fucking hypocrites. What do you expect from a Game album? He has had numerous features on every one of his albums.
All that aside, on first listen, I thought it was a pretty decent album. Things get off to an iffy start with “Scared Now” (mainly because of Meek Mill); however, the album excels from there on. He has some deep content on here: “Pray”, “Can’t Get Right”, and “Blood Diamonds” to name a few. I was pleasantly surprised by “Ali Bomaye”. I usually skip every track 2 Chainz is on because he is a terrible rapper, but this track turned out really nice. Game spits a mean verse, and the production is fire. Some of my favorite tracks: “See No Evil”, “Jesus Piece”, and “Name Me King”. The only skippable track is “I Remember”. The chorus is terrible, and the subject matter is the same old bullshit. This era of Lex Lugerish production with hyper hi-hats and distorted bass needs to end, it sounds like shit.
Side note: It would have been nice if the “Celebration” remix was included on the deluxe version. Oh well.
Lyrics: 3.75/5
Production: 4.25/5
Originality: 3.00/5
Overall: 3.75/5
celebration remix is on the best buy delux album
Nice, thanks.
great album good beats with classic great game lyrics.
Classic album
I could do without all the features and constant Gay-Z name drops – like nigga get his dick out yo mouth
but I like the album overall – this and GKMC best of the year for sho
great album
This album is a banger this guy tryna act to smart bout it
stupid review
dx fix this review, seriously
As long as people who recognize and appreciate HIGH QUALITY RAP keep voting 5 stars, the rating will only get closer to what this album truly deserves which is 5 stars.
DX likes trendy nerd albums and ep’s, they don’t give major names (with a few exceptions like pussy hov/yeezy stuff) a chance.
Dope Album 5/5
Way to close the year off wit a classic album
This album reminds me why Game is my fav rapper
IDK wat they talkin bout
IS IT JUST ME??? I MEAN, I KNOW YOU SUPPOSE TO CHANGE WITH THE ERA, BUT DAMN..THIS DONT HAVE NO :THE GAME: SOUND TO IT WHAT SO EVER.. SOUND LIKE HES READY TO GO TO YMCM .. SMH I HOPE NOT, IF HE JOIN UP WITH STAT QUO, THATS A BETTER MOVE THAN YMCM UNLES MONEY INVOLVES.. EITHER WAY 3 STARS JUST CUS THAT 2 CHAINS TRAK IS DA SHIT BEEN BUMPIN THAT FOR A COOL MIN DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT WAS GAMES TRAK
thought it was a 2 chains track with 2 game verses and a game hook???
DX fucked up this rating bad 4 if not 4:5
NAH BRAH, 2 CHAINZ BEEN LEAKED THIS TRAK JUST WITH HIS VERSE, I JUST THOUGHT IT WASNT FINISHED. SAME SHIT WHEN JEEZY LEAKED OUT MY HOUSE WITH HIS VERSE ONLY, I THOUGHT IT WAS HIS TRAK TIL SNOOP ALBUM CAME OUT.. ANYWAY LISTEN TO THE ALBUM AGAIN.. ITS GROWIN ON ME.. GAME DID HIS THING.. ALOT OF GUEST FEAT.. HE USUALLY ON HIS OWN TIP BUT ITS A BANGER
When the doc say its dope, it’s dope
Also, this is way better than the RED Album. Idk how theyd rate this lower. Just wish he woulda saved “Ricky” for this one. 4.75/5
Dr. Dre’s opinion > HHDX’s bullshit reviewer
dope
albums aight. the lady track production is a classic and incredible. the covers dope. games dope. but it needed holy water on that for him to get the sale from me. fuck is yall thinkin droppin some classic shit like that and not puttin it on the lp?
It’s on the best but deluxe version. Buy it from there and u get blood diamonds as well as holy water bonuses
What a fucked up review. 4.5

Shit review, motherfuckers giving RED a 4 and Jp a 3.5, burn in hell fuck-heads, dont even know how to review a hip hop album
Great album, wish the celebration remix made the album
Album needs work with the features for sure. So many not giving it thier best but Game brings the level up.
Another great album from Game. 5 Stars.
Great album. Classic.
lol the stans are going crazy
I’m not a game stan i hated LAX and also DA is not nearly as good as people say.
so how am I a stan if i like two of his albums? i don’t understand.
U R SO RIGHT!…WHO IS “BANG’EM SMURF”?…….heyyy KEVIN HART….*smile
I don’t think there was a single track where he didn’t do some name dropping, but other than that it’s a great album, with some classic beats.
“I don’t think there was a single track where he didn’t do some name dropping,” = TRUE
“it’s a great album, with some classic beats.” = UNTRUE
Only White Kids Who Glorify Gang Culture As A Form Of Afrikan Self – Extermination Dig This Bullshit. Beats Are Wack. Features?? It’s The game So He Cock Rides Whoevers Poppin’…. Yaaawn. FYI Slava Kuperstein Is A PRIME EXAMPLE OF These White People Who Don’t Know shit about hip hop, but glorify this bullshit becuz it keeps his loft lit… fuck outta here!!! Someone needs to pistol whip son
what a faggot
one day you will get hit by a train…and your family will celebrate
goona go double wood outside the USA because no one else in the world gives a fuck about religion. Simples.
This ist the king james bible, its a hiphop album, your statement has zero credibility
Listen to the song: I Remember. “ill eat a bitch after jay hit it”???? WTF game got gay bars gonna put his mouth on a bitch pussy after a nigga pull his dick out!!!!
album of the year hands down. fuk the reviewer
it goes like this:
there are three albums of the year by my estimation:
in no particular order: welcome to Our House, good kid, m.A.A.d city, Jesus Piece
I like slaughter but I would replace that with life is good even though I have not heard the new game
Uhh… Welcome to Our House wasnt better than Life is Good
Nas’ album was fourth best, and rounding out the top five in my opinion the last one is Common’s dreamer/believer
you lot are forgetting about The Roots- Undun. My top 5 in no particular order would be Jesus Piece, Undun, GKMC, Life is God and The Heist by Macklemore. That’s just my opinion though.
The Slaughterhouse album was a massive disappointment. Very little on there for the hardcore fans. Just a lot of failed attempts at crossover hits. Ab Soul – Control System, waaay better. Also, God Forgives, I don’t waaay better. Life is Good, waaaay better.
Btw, the Common album came out in 2011.
not that good

wow damn we all know game a jay-z stan but damn that’s going too far gayme loves jay-z for real he stay on his nutts
So you would pass up on Beyonce or Kim just cause they’ve hit it? Thought not
my man he said he gonna eat the pussy after jay hit it why put jay-z name in a sex act? and you talking about eating pussy after he hit it ahah cmon that shit is weird
“Pop the pussy, dont play with it
I dont care if Kanye hit it, I dont care if Jay hit it
Imma eat it up and Imma lay with it”
This is what he says in I Remember, it just doesn’t matter for him, if the bitch is good he’ll enjoy her.
I don’t know about you but I’d f**k Beyonce in a heartbeat.
Classic album with real universe
GAME AND LIL B?…they should put..#THE KING OF POP ROCK(WFB)..on the remix….*smile..TDC_C..HAPPY SWAG DAY!….
This album bang…hands down
wack
Game’s too sick dropped another banging album
This is the best rap album that I’ve heard so far this year.
you sir are smoking that shit
THATS THE SHIT RIGHT THERE
Album was good. Definetly better than KenDICK LAME-ar’s GKMC. I AM NOT A HUMAN BEING II will be monumental. It will erase, eradicate and exterminate KenDICK off the face of the earth.
Y U BUYING GAME’$ album then?……HAPPY SWAG DAY!…….TDE 2013….TDC_C
The Roots UNDUN best hip hop album of the year hands down
Umm…that came out in 2011, bra.
Honestly this album was his best if not 2nd tied with Doctors Advocate. Review was wack.
Would Have Been Near Perfection If Game Exchanged Dead people,Blood Of Christ And Holy Water With Church, Freedom And I Remember.Game never Disappoints me (Chronic 2012)
Game may be bipolar as hell and gets annoying at times with his beef and media actics, but one thing you CAN’T say is that he doesn’t make serious efforts to make good hip-hop music. Who cares if he name drops? He knows he gets criticized for it so he just embraces it and continues to do it. I’ll even acknowledge that Game tends to emulate other rappers that he collabs with on his songs, but u know what?? 90% of the time, it comes out good. Unlike rappers like Lil Wayne, you can tell Game cares about having a great catalog of music and leaving a legacy. This album is dope.. beats bang, rhymes bang, thats all we can ask for.
i agree with that!! 100
The only thing ill add to that is the whole emulating rappers on tracks they feature on is what to me is the main problem with him being a great rapper. Any of the great rappers past and present never needed to do that. He asked to be mentioned in the top 5? really? I will say this is his best album since documentary. Kanye hooked with up with these beats. But i wish a scarface, jay (never happen), jada/ featuring on any of these tracks would have been sick!!
And if game was asking dead or alive its 1. pac 2.Big 3.jay 4.nas 5.scarface.. but thats just me
great album
someone isn’t getting paid i guess….hiphopdx been trying to make Game look bad from the past couple of days.FOH
This album is great. Game stepped it up with the lyrics I think and the beats……Some of the best I’ve heard this year period!
The sampling on this album was great; and game really understands how to make a complete song. I think the lyrics on GKMC were great but the songs as a whoel have no replay value like a classic song does. I cant think of more than one or two songs that I would replay on it. Poetic Justice? Not to just be comparing the two but we are in 2012 and this will be up for one of the best hip hop albums I would assume.
In my eyes Game has always been a good enough lyricist to not be a sell out, while giving you the beats and hook that are needed for great rap music. LEts not forget, songs like In da Club and How we do are classics…it doesnt have to be a ridiculous flow and lyric out of this world to be a great SONG. GAme gives you really good songs on here including: JEsus Piece, Can’t get right, Name Me King, Ali Bomaye(excluding most of 2 chainz), Blood Diamonds. Then, another tear is Heavens Arms, All That Lady, Pray; and I would still play those three over most of the other songs that dropped this year. If you disagree thats fine, maybe you like the 2 chainz style rap or maybe you like the superp lyricism but not great songs like Kendrick Gave us. All I know is, in 3 years, I think a lot of us will be more likely to say ‘damn I want to hear the JEsus Piece song than that Swimmin Pools.
idk what you are talking about with GKMC..Money trees, M.A.A.D city, good kid and swimming pools are songs i keep going back to. I agree with you on this album though.
GKMC has mad relpay value and will be listened to moer than jesus piece. lmao. and you dont think the album has well constructed songs? you’re crazy.
DA>DOC>LAX>JP>RED and they are all dope albums
WHY IS PEOPLE COMPARING JESUS PIECE TO KENDRICKS GKMC LETS NOT FORGET GAME ALL READY DID THAT WITH DOCUMENTARY ITS KENDRICKS FIRST ALBUM ! LETS SEE WHAT ELSE HE DOES NEXT ! GAMES BEEN AROUND FROM MIXTAPES, BEEFS TO ALREADY 5 ALBUMS OUT ! ! !
AND FUCK HIPHOPDX AND SLAVA KUPERSTEIN FOR THE POOR REVIEWS
JESUS PIECE IS STRAIGHT HIPHOP ! 5/5
Section .80 was Kendrick’s first album
I think manny means kendrick’s first studio album. Game’s documentary was his first studio album, however his first album was independant, Untold Story, which came released in 2004. And Section.80 was independant as well. So yes gkmc and documentary can be compared.
SLAVA KUPERSTEIN REALLY YOU MUST NOT HAVE AN EAR FOR GREAT MUSIC
YOU MUST BE A HATER FAN ! SMH FUCK HIPHOPDX FOR LETTING THIS
FUCKING WHITE BOY DO THIS POOR REVIEW
JESUS PIECE 5/5 !
co-sign chuck. I’m giving HHDX 1 weeks to change the review or I’m gonna use another site. Too many trashy reviews recently. It should be about the music not the reviewer’s opinion on the rappers personality.
HHDX you are embarrassing yourselves
game
For me name dropping never been an issue, the style “jacking” ain’t a big deal either
still with all that, I don’t get how people could say this album is not great. Is it his best ever, nope. But it shits on RED.
Production is crazy, maybe the best I’ve heard on any album minus WTT in the past couple years. Even with all the feats, it’s not overwhelming.
5 star for the album, 2 star for the review.
Agree ^^
I Agree
This albums required Game to reach out to Killah Priest for a feature
Am tired of hearing Game with Young Money artists – give us something different with the features n!gga
don’t join Cash Money but atleast G.O.O.D Music after Interscope
dopest Album of the Year.. i tell u that now!
At least post a different review. you know, like perhaps someone who actually listened to the entire album and is able to recognize greatness when they hear it.
and anyone who doesn’t like this album clearly didn’t listen to the songs “Pray” and “Can’t Get Right.” (just to name two) you want soul-searching rap music? that’s that shit right there
how is this a bad review? any of u dickriders have an honest answer? 3.5 is a very good rating.
im considering this one of the best hip hop albums of the year.. this nigga game always delievers solid material (hate it or love it)
“I don’t know about you but I’d f**k Beyonce in a heartbeat”
You’re gonna have to settle for her album covers, playa.
“listen to Ricky and then come tell me he has no flow. That song is a classic”
Did we hear different versions cause the one I heard sounded forced.
Its funny that when someone like Jay-z shows off different flows everyone praises him, giving him points for those flows in determining who the greatest ever is. Game may be making a point on some of them; by showing off the flow of hte rapper hes on a song with he proves he can do it too if he wants. He can do it all. Did you hear his shyne impressions? omg. Hes a very talented guy. The album is very good. It has a ton of good songs; only bad ones being church and the one with young jeezy
bullshit
bullshit you dont jack a mans flow
Terrible review. The writer sounds like he was hurt by Game in the past. This is the 2nd best album released this year (I think we know which is no. 1).
Great production, very cohesive, vicious rhymes & features & a hilarious twist to a well worn theme (religion).
How can you not love this?
I agree for most part with this review, there some good beats there but game just can t get enough of the name dropping and huge guest line up ridicolous
and dude is so emotional still has 50 and g-unit in his mouth, at some point you got to let go. he developed is own west-coast brand and he can rap but he doesn t need the names instead go deppen yr subject matter
Finally got my Jesus Piece Delux version today, and all I can is that it’s simply amazing. The beats are sick, Game raps brilliant and it has replay value.Everyone who likes real hiphop, buy this album – trust me it’s worth it!
the review was whack af. the rating is about right compared to all his work but rated by itself i think is about a 4.25. #Je5usPiece
Overall this review is right in the sense that he needs to stop dropping the names of 50 cent and other record labels. Just let that shit go, on the other hand it makes for inspiring music, which Game has done perfectly with this. In regards to his albums as a whole, this is the best one yet, and the names featured only makes it better and helps out with marketing. This will be a classic album and is definitely in the top three for this year. Inconsistent? Rappers’ lives change and with that so does their music, actually having a family and a regular life outside of music is what changed his morals, cop this album!
great album.
i came in slava’s ass. mmmmm!!!!!!!!
best album 2012
dis album seems more like a compilation instead of an actual project. NO doubt, there’s good records on here & production is top notch but all those features take away from Game’s actual skills. Good album tho but not better than GKMC
This Album is Hot from front to back.
Album Is Beyond Good .Great.
Yeah, there are a lot of “features.” A lot of them feature just one individual pop-R&B star who performs the song’s hook and the rest is just Game. so yeah, TECHNICALLY almost every song has a feature, but when you actually listen to the album you realize that a lot are just Game verses intercut with brief hooks.
oh, and yeah, this is still a 5-star album imo. top three albums of the year are, in no particular order: Slaughterhouse with “welcome to Our House” Game with “Jesus Piece” and K Dot with that impressive as fuck concept-type album “good kid, m.A.A.d city.”
Game haters can suck a dick, all I know is that when Dr. Dre sends out a positive message over the internet about an album, I’ll take the GOAT rap producer’s opinion any day over this lame dx horseshit.
You know they full of shit when they give Wiz album the same rating as this album. Dumb ass reviewer!
!
this shit flopped
tight
Sme dope music ryte thear!!!!!!!!go game.
Game is the greatest biter in hiphop:
steal flows
steals songconcepts
is bipolar
namedrops in every song 10 rappers
So you call this shit hot?????
If it would be 86 or 94 a rapper like Game would never gotten a deal but sweeping the floors at the defjams studios.
Pretty much all true. I wouldn’t call him the greatest biter, but he definitely is one. Like you said, he could never get away with shit like this in the 80’s or 90’s. There were unwritten rules back then. Now mimicking other artists styles is considered hot. Fans will eat up anything today.
i thought i was the only one that realized he used other people’s flows.
Who actually has a truly original, distinctive flow?
(BIG, Jay-Z, Kanye – one flow which had a natural progression in that order)
(Tech and Busta – who have similar yet very different styles, and evolved separately)
There’s Eminem, who changes style every song…
There’s Nas, Big Boi and Andre 3000 (who have similar styles, but Nas’ style evolved separately from the other two)… and the child of all three, Kendrick (and I guess you could argue Big Sean into this as well)
Noone’s style is truly original, but you can notice blatant style biters (they’re not just Game).
Listen to Wiz Khalifa in the 2nd verse of “Work Hard, Play Hard” for another example…
Biggie had 10.000 diffent flows. No one could fuck with Biggie’s flows.
One thing is being influenced by other rappers, and another is stealing their whole package. If I have some talent for paiting, for example, and I adapt a classical approach instead of modern because Mona Lisa, it based on my amazement for what can be achieved with those technique. But that doesn’t mean that I start mimicking shamelessly Leonardo’s own style, and try to re-paint/duplicate the original like it was mine in the first place.
the game had to make ‘jesus piece’ in 60 days so it’s not that bad.
The best thing about the album is the production, but Game is trend hopping on what’s hot, going the southern wrote for most of the disc. Too many features on the album are forced and unnecessary. A lot of shit features take away from the cohesion of the album. And no surprise like the rest of Game’s albums, way too much pointless name dropping. In the middle of a decent verse he’ll say Hov, Pac or Big and a list of others randomly for no reason. After 5 albums we get the point that you like a lot of rappers. That shit is annoying as fcuk. Style wise he’s gotten into a bad habit of mimicking his features which just sounds stupid. If he would have trimmed some features and learn to keep other people’s names out his mouth his could have been a lot better. After all,after RED Album dropped he promised no features or name dropping on his next album. But what’s a promise from Game’s bi-polar ass…lol.
*edit* southern route
theres like 2 songs which sound like the south beat….smh listen to the album before commenting
Whole album is great, production is tight, the features doing good, specially the track with Kenrick and Tank. The beats on this album are something completely new, and only them makes the album worth buying!
My top 5 list of 2012:
1. Kendrick Lamar – GKMC 7 / 5 Stars
2. Apollo Brown & Guilty Simpson – Dice Game / 5 Stars
3. Nas – Life is good / 4,5 Stars
4. Game – Jesus Piece /4 Stars
5. Joe Budden – A loose quarter / 4 Stars
oh no no no
1. Jesus Piece – Life Is Good (tie 4.5/5)
2. GKMC (4/5) (lyrically it was better than both but it wasn’t a classic)
You forgot Call Me Maybe by Carley Rae Jepsen
What about Ab-Soul – Control System??
!
this album wack
Yah it isnt that great
Only thing wack is that head ya mom’s gave me last night, hoe ass nigga #jesuspiece
Fiyaa
This shit is crack. 5/5 from me.
Look i aint a 2chain or Rick Ross fan myself. And tho i fucks with they music a little, i don’t really listen to that type of music they make unless im in the club.
But to say that 2Chains and Rick Ross were merely tolerable is just straight up fucking hating. I know websites like this is supposed to give respect to underground rappers and hate on niggas like Ross and 2Chains. But both Ross and Chains went the fuck off on that song.(well went off for their ability) I honestly believe Game wrote 2chains verse.
Another thing i realize how many fucking geeks and nerds who write about this type of shit on this hip hop sites. Not to many niggas in the hood on these sites. Niggas seem to give props and respect to only consious rap which is fucking wack. You nerd niggas stop writing about this shit.
Well said my man.. Well said
co-sign
With all that said, Game Album is solid and the rating might be just about right. This Album has 10 of the most hottest songs that came out this year alone. But the other 5 songs are either weak or mediocore. Personally i think the Album deserves at least a 4. It definitely has some bangers on here.
Game is still annoying with all that dick riding name dropping shit. But with that bullshit out the way(he still does it alot tho) the Album is solid. Not a Classic but its solid.
Solid album. If you buy it retail watch out b/c youll get different bonus tracks depending on where you get it (target vs. best buy vs. itunes). I’d say prob. the best album of 2012 though.
SCARED NOW ?
nice album
I just copped the album.. Damn best money i’ve put on an album this year
how old are you? 12 years You call this hiphop?
@anonymous and what do you call hip-hop? this is a solid album all the way through. your head isnt screwed on right. i agree with mr fuck the feds
^^I’m sure the nigga think that rockin skirts like Kanye is “real” hip-hop^^
Getting drunk and bumping the album.. HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT SHITTTTTTTTTTTT
i imagine my drinking days and how nearly-empty my bottle of Ketel One would most likely be. i imagine my cig smoking days and… yea i’d smoke a pack or two of marb blends as well. haha
not that good
Dope
BIG album right here. Game’s production on his albums never lets me down. Man can walk away from Interscope a Tyrant of Hip Hop.
Yo son both our carrers are over lets make an album together?
We both the biggest attentionwhores in hiphop so lets do it.
We hire the best producers because without them we shit because our rhymes suck but we can sell.
I ride you 50. Make an album with me babe.
game just flopped 50 has a hot single out on the CHARTS and his career is over? hahaahh U MAD BRO!!!??
best album ever
somebody tell me why is lil wayne on game’s album cover?
lol funny
I think this album is overrated. It has a few good songs but overall it isn’t as good as I thought it would be.
So its the same as everything from Game since Doctor’s Advocate. Can’t wait to listen his YMCMB debut!
Game needs to finally drop a solo album to save his career
This is a great album It just shows you how well game is developing and how he can rap wit different flows and keep it refreshing to the fans
Sick album, and that nasty Dre produced “Dead People” track was the top of the cake. This is quality hiphop, and it will be exciting to see what Game comes up with after this dope album!
Top Album! Production was on point, lyrics were Dope.
I said yesterday the rating was fair. I personally thought it should be a 4.0. But i have to say that this Album is in the running for album of the year easily. Game put out a very thoughtful Album. This Album might be his best Album.(Tho Documentary was a great Album) I said might be tho. HipHopdx should have giving this Album at least a 4. And i think 4.5 is correct.
I understand this site like all that concious shit(i can’t take to much of that shit) and positive shit. Sometimes they give respect to hardcore rappers but not enough. But Game put out a great project.
I said 5 songs were mediocore yesterday. The rest of the album had some of the best songs i heard in a while. But those 5 songs i said was mediocore is growing on me. Its not one wack song on this Album.(maybe “I Remember”) Love this album Great year in hip hop 2012 real shit.
Can’t even choose my fav song on this album, so many nice tracks on it – but what an intro song! This album is fire!
Dope album! only thing that’s keeping it from hitting at least a 4.5 rating is the fact it has too many features. So much it seems like a industry compilation album.
Other than that still a banger worth checking out
I see alot of people saying that game bites people style(or borrow) everytime he features someone. Its so obvious on the Red album he did that. Which is why that Album became so wack quickly. But i honestly didn’t feel that way on this Album. He stayed in his own lane.
I think some people are getting it twisted with Game doing songs with Ross and doing the kind of song that fits Rick Ross. Cause he didn’t bit he flow on that AliBomaye song. And he didn’t flow like Common on Jesus Piece. He is only guilty of doing songs and using beats the people he feature would probably do. Which i have no problem with.
Great fucking Album/
to many features but he relased like 90 songs last year so w,e
Game is super talented, people be sleepin on him. Jesus Piece deserves a Grammy or some shit this year, album is fire!
Classic hands down no skipping a track on this ablum!!!!
Smoked a joint and listened to the album non stop from front to back……. Real trippy album
Lovin the album
bought the album , really great work game ..album art work is different in ireland though.. much love from ireland
The Game is a good rapper, just wasn’t feeling the album. Way to many wack features for me
Common had the best verse on the whole album imo.
Nas and Kendrick had the best albums of the year. But I’m gonna go with Nas’s Life Is Good.
man i like nas but life is good sucks so just stop ppl plzzzz
Life is good is flawless my G. Half the songs he took it back to that Illmatic hungry style, and mixed it up with his real life divorce. Also LIG’s is probably the best production Nas had since Stillmatic.
What makes LIG so great to me is the production. You don’t hear Nas rhyme over these kind of beats alot. No-I.D did his work. Not one wack song on that Album(summer on smash i like it from the beginning) The beats is on point and Nas did what he always does. Paint vivid pictures throw his poetry. LIG is easily my 4th or 5th best Nas Album. Behind-it was written, Illmatic, Stillmatic and The lost tapes.
who cares about the features..album was solid
Great review. agree completely.
albums a hit glad to hear sum new shit from game
Solid album. Kendrick, Nas, and Game holding 2012 down.
Yo i finally got the chance to hear and listen to “The Roots” album “Undun” and these niggas on this website gave that Album a perfect 5. Look that Album was ok but i found nothing special about that shit. I thought the beats would be out of this world(The Roots band is nice with the beats) The beats were cool but nothing special. I thought Black Thought would black out on this shit like he did on Big Pun’s Album. He spit and went in but nothing special.
Point is this website got a different ear for music then i do. They won’t give respect to someone like Game or Wu-block but they give mad props to the Roots. I seen a few comments stating how great the Roots album was. Yo to me that shit aint all that great. Its ok and what makes me mad about that shit is the last 3 songs are some bullshit ass beats that end the album with no lyrics. How some people think that shit is Album of the year is beyond me.
My point is this website is into that nerd fake positive shit. Thats the only reason why they could give Nas’ Untitled album a 4.5 and give Nas’ LIG album only a 4.0 when LIG is so obviously overall. The untitled Album is hot and more thoughtful but no way is it better then LIG.(i still bump LIG)
I feel you on that (and I’m a fan of The Roots btw, but Undun was far from their best work. Game Theory was their last truly killer album) and you are on point about Nas too.
I think Game is nice but R.E.D. was hit & miss. Jesus Piece him back in form. This is already in my top 10 for the year. Repeated spins will reveal how high it ends up.
With all that said Undun is a good Album but its not a perfect 5 or Album of the year in my opinion. Its close to Album of the year for last year but not this year.(and Section 80 is the best from last year) You niggas at HipHopDx need to hirer some people from the hood. To many of you nerd niggas in office over there. I hear no street anaylsis from this site and thats where this hiphop shit started.
After hearing Undun and seeing how HipHopDX game Undun a perfect 5 proves to me they hear for music and mines is different.
More importantly, Game Album is at least a 4.5. Game really impressed this album. If you didn’t hear his shit yet go listen to it. That shit is a great Album. Might be Album of the year. Only LIG is better and thats a reach. No offense to GKMC but i think Jesus Piece is a little better.
Game got heart! Raps like he loves it! Dude love Hip Hop! Every song is all heart! Most of the negatives you hear about the album are about the features, but most of the features are just hooks! If every artist that represented our culture loved it as much as The Game hip hop would be in a great place.
Game coming to ma label fools… YMCMB !!!!!! STUNNA 101 !!!
You can have him and give him a star tattoo in his head like yours, he done fallen off. Dre and I got Beats to sell
the album sounds like a flawless masterpiece when you’re fucking highhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. fo realzzzzzz…… just the level the album took me to another dimension ….. just wowwwwwwwwwwww
this album is def a beast.. i still think doctors advocate is his best album then jesus piece then documentary then lax then RED.. red album is the only album i wont listen 2 again the other 4 includin this i can bump for years.. games always been solid with albums
I don’t like the combination of gangster and christian. it hard for me to listen and take this album serious. I would have to agree with hip hop dx “Its a shame Game didnt take the opportunity to explore his opinions or personal experiences with religion” Although, I do love his raps and style..
Thats pretty much the plot of the Album. It could be offensive towards religionist people but some of it is true and points people like this out.
Jesus! Piece Of Shit
That should have been the title of the album… hehehe
overrated album
i support everything what pisses off religious retards.
boring album
Serious, great album, perfect beatz and great lyricism. Big surprise tbh.
@Anonymous. What with this album you think is boring? Like cmon… Either its something wrong with your ears, or you don’t like real hiphop…
album of the year
Album is fire just bought it. Go buy real hip game u did it big homie
smh album of the year my ass
100 times better than RED album… Game in full strenght
kendricks verse on see no evil destroys any verse game dropped on jesus piece
fuck no…Game killed it….Kendrick on The City was a killer verse
U sucking mad dick Game held his own on that song
Runner up Album of the year behind GKMC
Awesome
Cant stop bumpin this shit 5*
bangin in my tape deck
HONESTLY HIPHOPDX REVIEWS ARE THE WORST!!! I CANT STRESS THAT ENOUGH! THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF GAMES BEST ALBUMS ALONGSIDE DOCUMENTARY, OF COURSE THERE ARE A FEW TRACKS THAT ARE 5/5, BUT HONESTLY TELL ME A RECENT HIP HOP ALBUM IN WHICH EVERY SONG IS 5/5. GAME GOT HIS SHI T TOGETHER ON JP. NEXT TO L.I.G. AND LAMARS ALBUM, AND A FEW OTHERS, I DONT SEE WHY THIS AINT UP THERE FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR. REAL TALK. 4/5.

Agree, this is in my top ten this year.
game is a badman
Cool joint to many features doe
How can he compare this reggie to chronic smh…
HURRICANE GAME !!1
this is decent.
Its a good album, but its not going to get me on the edge of my seat,its just good not great
This album reminds be of a Killa Priest album with the church/spiritual theme through-out and thats not a bad thing..good album bottom line
The content is nothing like a Killah Priest album. And you’ll never catch Wiz Khalifa, Lil’ Wayne or 2Chainz near a Killah Priest album. The only thing slightly similar is the album cover is close to that of Priest’s The Offering album.
Game fell off just a dick rider now….my opinion
fuck u you just 1 of them future and just wayne ass nigga yall dnt know real rap
game dropped album of the year. he did it just to satisfy his contract, but had a great concept, and put together a complete album. if u include all of the sunday service tracks, i think this is games best album. the features worked… and im not even a big fan of most of the artists.
This album goes hard. I can play this album from beginning to end without skippin a track
What a damn waste of $13.99. Unreal how much crap was piled onto 1 disc……..
Me and the homie Game r runnin this rap game ma niggaz
“God Forgives, I Dont” multi platinum n still sellin, Jesus Piece sellin, we killen it
MMG BOSS
too bad god forgives i dont hasnt sold shit
Might be Album of the year. And thats saying alot cause there have been alot of great albums to drop this year. Game really impressed. I got T.I, Big Boi, Joe Budden’s(mxtape) and Wiz and i honestly can’t listen to nothing else but this shit. Jesus Piece is a wondeful album. Great beats, Features is better then expected, and Game spits and always have been good at spitting.
4.5 out of 5.
album of the year haters.
eat a dick 50 stans
Dope! Dope! Dope! You can feel the maturity and experience as this guy has grown into a hiphop heavyweight. I like how he mimics the flow of his guest features. Freedom, Celebration and Heavens Arms are my top 3 and the Kevin Hart skits are nuts. @ thumbs up t my guy,The Game.
3.5??!?!?!?
bomb album
Whoever wrote this review is crazy, this album is incredible, way better than his last release.
Ridiculous, did they actually listen to the album, this is one of the best albums of the year, great album.
f**k birdmab
Album of the year. Like it or not bitches!
Great album Game!
Good one
This album make me wanna suck your dick Game !!!
This album is dope as a motherfucker
average album. the game gotta get off the love ballad shit. if i wanted to listen to rnb songz i’d be bumping r kelly.
dope
This album is fucking hard fuck anyone hatin on game
Jesus Piece of shit
put your name on comments BITCH
LMFAO! Hells Yeah
Westsiiide!!! Im bumpin this in Ghetto Heaven rite now!
ALL THESE FUCKING FEATURES 13 TRACKS THATS SAD THIS CANT BE A CLASSIC.. THIS WILL NOT EVEN REACH GOLD AT ALL, IF IT WAS SO GOOD IT WOULD HAVE GOT MORE THAN 90000 THE FIRST WEEK 3/5
is “the chronic” a classic to you cuz that had more features and there were songs that had so little of dre on them that he was more like a feature on his own track. your qualifier for for a classic is stupid
i agree
AND TELL GAME STOP STEALING KANYE FLOW AND DOWN SOUTH BEAT THAT AINT ORIGINAL COMING FROM GAME
This why I let the nigga go, he kept on crapping on about god and shit. Religion ain’t suppose to be in west side hip hop. Compton ain’t no gospel Church. 1/5 on the album. Game needs to pick up his game quick!! Sorry Bra but the hip hop god has spoken.
good try but dre already said he thought the album was very good and congradulated him. also since you couldnt understand yourself most of the time this album raises the question to the entire culture that game grew up and lives in how we can claim to be religous people and then behave that we do
can somebody explain how this got the same review score as onifc?
ONIFC had two good songs, thats how
the album is weak shame i like game but this si shit
he dont sound like him on half the songs
the best album of th year…hand down
U just not based like me… Sorry mr. Game. My studio debut would be 3 times betta than ILLMATIC. Your shit is 3 times worse than my worst mixtape.
Lil B u a BITCH , u let men shit in your mouth
AHAHAHA OMFG IM CRYING
bone thugs killed this shit game dide not.
FUCK OFF
Fire!!
Nice
WAY BETTER THAT T.I ALBUM
another nice effort
word
#ALBUMOFTHEYEAR!!!
Not by a long shot, its wack!
best album of the year motherfuckers!!
naa.
not even close to best
This album is sick, and of the best this year! Deserves way more sales, go buy this album if you like real hiphop – dont download it! Support real hiphop!
Its wack, i ain’t buying it!!
I personally like this album alot more than T.I:Trouble Man. Both are really good, but I rate Games album higher.
Ali Bomaye !!!!!
album of the year!
8.7/10
Best album of the year!!!
Its been a useless year for Rap if this is the best Rap gave us this year.
good album ! but not excellent
yall bitch niggas be quiet this Album been #1 and Still #1 on billboard Hip-Hop chart…this Jesus Piece is highly rated!!
Jesus Piece, Wack! Red Album, Wack! Every thing before Red Album, Tight! Glad this his last album on my label, he’s falling off.
My record label, Wack! My G-Unit crew, Wack! The best thing ever, me and Game on a Track!
last time i check yo opinion doesnt matter game is the best unlike those other fadget rappers- wiz khalifa future and lil wayne
if he is wack check his real album sales
IF album sales shows how nice a dude is….Vanilla Ice’s first album sold 15million units and 16 weeks on top of billboard…
Album sales are dependent on marketing.
bull shit…
Album goes hard. Only flaw is over 20 features on 13 tracks…or 15 tracks if you have the bonus. But all of the features are pretty fire. Definetly better than his previous album
best album Game done
crazy album
I disagree with this review. This is a pretty solid album, regardless who is featured and how much he is name dropping. The bars are good. The flow is always on point and the beats knock. What else is there?
GAME is so (CONFUSED) to me. One song he raps like Drake…next song he raps like Rick Ross…he copies Big Boi’s flow on RED Album…he raps like Dr. Dre on DOCTOR’s ADVOCATE. He made a “TWENTY MINUTE” freestyle song over a DJ SKEE beat that had to be remixed so we didn’t die of monotony from the “Exhibit A” by Jay Electronica. This album had some great production, but even the controversial album cover proved that there was more flash than substance.
Krayzie and Bizzy did they thang no doubt. Good to hear them boys.
this right hur is a classic my soft body niggz
the best rapper to do it after tupac died
keep hatin while jesus piece bumpin in yo motherfucking face
classic
album of the year
d
wbddbdhegdhxvevxhsgxbebdhdggxgeyxheheydghdhdgdgxvdddxf
best torrent of the year
LMFAO! Good one!!
a good album that grows on you. 4/5 stars for me. Game is still the king of WEST COAST cause of consistency
i givez itz a 7.685/10 its aiight beats knock boots bump, the real flows are dopez but this ish and shizz w/o fitty, souljaa and weezy f for commisioner yall know i as right as rice niccas
this album was and should be album of the year..but of course you rap nerds are on Kendrick Lamar’s cockmeat sandwich. yall are gonna do him like yall did Lupe
Wow this comment actually wasn’t from me. I guess im not the only one who notice you nerds on here. I fucks with Lupe and Kendrick hard body tho. But i agree Game shit is just as good as Kendrick but won’t get the same love from these geeks.
Awesome album.. great from beginning to end. no skips
This is another classic by the legendary Game #JesusPiece! I like the album – Only I like Game better
I was very much looking forward to Jesus Piece as Game is one of my top 3 favorite artists and he had never disapointed me, until now. This album is very average and I only really liked a couple of tracks on it. F*** Jesus Piece, bring that gangsta sh** back Game!!!
dope album, all he need to do is stick to his own style.
For Me- The album is a 5star Album Su wuo
su woo
good album and boring
i hated it a lot at first..just like red album cause both just arent up to what hes really capable of! but..there def is a few good songs on here, just don’t get why the effin celebration version with bone thugz isn’t the main version..oh well its got heaps of shit features and game could have done better but lets just hope he moves on and drops some good shit
One of the best quality albums to come out in a while. Tells quite a story, sticks to the topic, entertains, just blessed music. Classic no doubt
1 – The Documentary
2 – LAX (Why is it hated so much? LAX Files, My Life, Angel, Letter To The King, and House of Pain are super ill)
3 – Doctors Advocate
4 – Jesus Piece
5 – RED Album
your weakest album is still pretty good game! well done!
@LexxieRyanPbliv
I agree wit yur #1 but then it should be
2-Red Album
3-LAX
4-Jesus Piece or Doctor’s Advocate
Red Album was wack as shit, Nigga thinkin’ hes Dre.
shit
best album of the year
Nice beats, killer verses, but awful promotion
Game is a peculiar guy..wants to reunite with the unit..disses 50 cent BISD sales ..so happened that RED album did worst..then 50 disses him on My life..he goes on bigboi n says he’ll release another diss record..then in a recent interview he says he heard ‘My Life’ before the public did n knew he was dissed and knew it was the old 50?? and throws hints that he wants to end the beef..then he releases this album..wow..there are no 50 cent stans on this page..bunch of ppl who express themselves in different ways are on this page.. but at the end of the day.50 cent is doin better than game right now..so its all up to shyne to do better.. n ppl say 50 cent likes to generate beefs when his album drops smh
Near flawless album! Excellent concept! A concept we all deal with every single day! Game’s lyrical flow on JP is arguably the best I’ve heard in years. The features are tight! All around excellent excellent album! This album will go platinum within a year! #ItsThatGood
dope album
Yip
This album is incredible! Idk WTF yall are listening too!
ikr
crazy good album, the reason i believe this gets a 4/5 star is because Game put too many features on it. The guy can spit dope, i have no idea why is doesn’t solo that shit like the documentary. And celebration is wack lol
Spot-on review. Can’t wait to hear what Game does for his next album, without Interscope and Jimmy Iovine. Hopefully he stills gets a few Dr. Dre beats though
sell out.. wack ass rappers now a days cant make a single album with no feat.
This Album is great , I love it. Chirch and I Remember are my favorates!
lol lemme guess.. your 3rd fav is celebration? ur the reason hip hop is dead. Go listen to Heavens Arms or Name Me King
Still bumpin this shit, great album!!
my 6-CD player in my car still has this disc in it. even K dot’s is out of my rotation at this point.
it’s a really tough choice, but my pick for best track is “Can’t Get Right.” “finally got the crown, this muthafucker meant for me/ funny how ya do ya top 5’s and don’t mention me.” on point.
4/5
Now a days a CD get good reviews if it has a few good songs, and this album is one of them… Maybe 3 good songs… Maybe!!!
************Its worth a Download, not a purchase***********
THIS ALBUM IS FUCKING DOPE!! GAME KILLED IT AGAIN. EPIC PRODUCTION, SICK VERSES AND KILLER FEATURES, WHAT NOT 2 LIKE!! ROLEX RECORD COMING SOON!!
CLASSIC RECORD! Game’s Best yet
5/5
VERY GOOD
yessss
STILL DOPE
awsome nice really i think this is nice
man they got swag dude
2013 album of the year so far
dope
This album is complete fucking shit do you guys not understand? There is about 6 good songs all up and rest are useless. All this trashy hip-hop, his following the crowd. Game is no longer The Game, he doesn’t even deserve that because The Game brought us The Documentary which is one of the best albums of all times and this Jesus Piece doesn’t deserve any type of high rating, it’s just trash music. Features are shit.
completely agree..i would even say 6..i am a huge game fan but hes hanging out with all these young money faggots and tryin to do whatever hes gotta do to stay relevant..guess he just aint a gangsta no more either..i just wanna hear huim kill some siick beats,hopefully he gets it together and does his own thing with his new record label..this album had no effort from him,seems like he was just getting it out already to be done with interscope
100% agree, how do ppl like this?? Havent they heard Doctors Advocate or Documentary?? Even LAX was better than this… Hope the real GAME comes back
This album is dope, we cant expect every Game album to sound like the Doccumentary or any of his previous albums. Game is a bussiness man now and da nigga gotta eat. He still a gangster, but he is a grown man now. have family and kids. So let just give this motherfucka a break. he is stil dope and the album dope also
Thats ya opinion mate games ulbum dope from production,lyrics to features dope
GAME killed it with this album, even if only 6 songs are BANGERS. Those 6 songs KILLED it on production.. If you have a good system you know this album is a demo. He name drops alot, but on Jesus Piece; Ali Bomaye, and Name me KING, he KILLED IT.
PUSHA is ridiculous. Name me KING is a highlight
Game is #1 Just has to keep spitting.. Kendrick and Problem are HUNGRY
Huge game fan but this album is shit. Jay Rock is who i turn to now..
yea Jay Rock dope. But Game stil dope, and this album is dope. this nigga killed it from production to him rapping. Dis motherfucka dope
superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Game on another level. One of the best albums in its year.
this album is just on another level i think its his best work since documentary. production is great, lyrically great. it gets a 5/5 from me.
hahahaha
KING OF THE WEST COAST !! #OKE
