Game – The R.E.D. Album

    Many perceive Jayceon Taylor to be the loose cannon of Hip Hop, and they might be right. Equal parts of passion and madness, the trajectory of Game’s career has included serving as the mouthpiece for G-Unit, being the mouthpiece against G-Unit, and preserving Dr. Dre’s often doubted post-Detox legacy. Game’s first three albums possessed different attributes of the West Coast emcee’s personality. The R.E.D. Album is an amalgam of all three, where Game’s penchant for punchy, honest verses proves he has several more miles of music before bowing out.

    The album runs a little long in length (almost an hour and a half), with all but four songs having at least one feature. Dr. Dre’s commentary is dispersed throughout, with four short segues detailing Game’s three-plus decades of life.

    “The City” opens, where Game speaks candidly about his past label situations (“I was stressed the fuck out, torn between Aftermath, Geffen, Interscope…”) while hinting at future ones (“Either I’m crazy or / The Black Slim Shady or / could that be the reason that Baby said he would pay me more?”). Kendrick Lamar provides a near-spoken word hook before blacking out at the end with what sounds like a pledge of allegiance to Game. While any other rap vet opposite Kendrick would pose a balance of teacher and student, Game’s insatiable hunger on the mic makes it sound like a two-student operation.

    The radio-friendly “Drug Test” with Dre, Snoop and Sly oozes mainstream West Coast, but is overshadowed by the double Lil Wayne follow-ups “Martians Vs. Goblins” and “Red Nation” . Weezy provides only the hooks to both, which may be not enough for some, but plenty to others. The shit-talking on “Martians Vs. Goblins” has no limit, with Game suggesting he had sex with Erykah Badu on the set of “Window Seat” (which he calls “that nekkid video shoot”) with lines like “I was suckin’ on that pussy like it was Wonton soup.” OFWGKTA’s Tyler, the Creator chimes in on the track, sending a subtle shot to Chris Brown (“Now my future’s brighter than Christopher’s new haircut”). He even nudges Game with, “And that shit was expected like Jayceon whenever he name drops,” to which Game interjects, “Fuck you, Tyler.”

    At times on R.E.D. Game switches the sound of his voice, like on his solo track “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly” where he sounds like a gruff Dr. Dre mixed with Biggie. Could it be a personality switch or just a change in tone? Who knows. Other tracks where Game rides dolo include “Ricky,” an ode to Morris Chestnut’s fallen character in Boyz N the Hood. The song begins with an audio clip of the Hood’s fateful scene, but as Game’s voice enters about a minute in, he shoots, “Blood of a slave, heart of a giant / Had to leave Aftermath, Dre said I was too defiant.” The direction of the song is a little confusing, but serves as a podium for Game’s unquestionable honesty. 

    Features from Rick Ross on “Heavy Artillery” (with Beanie Sigel) and Young Jeezy on “Paramedics” both showcase the rappers spitting like they want a record deal, perhaps to compete with Game’s aforementioned hunger. The exception to that formula is Wale, who on “All the Way Gone” with Mario, chucks the deuces to his old style and glides along in his new MMG-drawl. Nelly Furtado turns soulful on “Mama Knows”, while Chris Brown’s breathy hook on “Pot of Gold” would arrive only second to Drake singing the hook on “Good Girls Go Bad” …if he actually sang it. Drizzy rhymes on the track as the counter-balance of Game discussing the “good” girls and Drake talking the “bad.”

    Considering The R.E.D. Album is close to three years in the making, it should be the tight work that it is. Despite its delay, it’s by no means a swan song, contractually and musically. R.E.D. is a lot of many things, only adding to the anticipation already for Game’s final offering to Interscope.

    1. Way more exciting than Watch The Throne. I’ve only heard what’s been posted on DX so far. I’m going to buy tomorrow.

    2. Wake Up Dick Riding Fans This Shit Aint Classic

      Fuck You Haters This Shit Is Still Good

      Overall Rating 4 Out Of 5

    3. amazing album by game….concept is very nice the dre skits fit with the sound off the album…even the chick tracks are dope.ricky & born in the trap are my favorites

    4. Definitely better than L.A.X. It’s neck to neck with Doctor’s Advocate but it would’ve been better if the second half of R.E.D. didn’t mellow out so hard.

      4/5. Well earned.

    5. 1. Documentary
      2. LAX
      3. R.E.D
      4. Doctor’s Advocate

      Game has one helluva catalogue. Even if R.E.D isn’t the best it’s better than Doctor’s Advocate and that was decent. So I’d say R.E.D is pretty damn good. Well deserved 4/5.

    6. Finally a fair review! This is uh 4-4.5 falls short of classic thanks 2 two song that totally don’t fit the albums theme/concept of R.E.D.education.
      Graveyard, Rough, Monsters in my head should have been on the album.
      4 mix tapes that sound like great albums and a near classic Album.
      GAME got my money.

      1. i’ll give it a listen i guess,. not a fan of this man, but i’ll give him a chance this time,. He’d do more damage in sales if he shut up about Jay though

    7. THIS ALBUM IS DECENT AT BEST IT GOT ABOUT 5 GOOD SONGS ON IT AND THE REST OF THE SONGS IS AVERAGE AT BEST IT’S NOT A BAD ALBUM BUT IT’S NOT GOOD OR GREAT JUST DECENT

    8. Bad Meets Evil Hell The Sequel>R.E.D>Watch The Throne

      Hell the sequel had no real theme bad had fantastic word play metaphors and punchlines. Red almbum was also fantastic but not as good as bme. Watch the throne just sucked imo bad lrics just good production.

      1. Em and royce are dull and washed, have been for a minute its a shame people still hang off em’s nuts even though he music is horrible. BME not in my top 10 barely in my top 15. The production was suspect and they didn’t rhyme about anything at all

    9. game is 4 for 4. this album is completely different than anything else hes dropped. no song sounds alike, he sounds different on a lot of the tracks. but what is here? dope beats. interesting features. hot raps, cool storytelling. everything from songs for your lady, songs for the whip, songs that showcase game’s storytelling. even the track with dre, that shit is some futuristic, west coast, drunk in the club shit. dre sounds mad different, but the shit is surprisingly dope. detox might be a high octane party album, that would be cool. maybe 2 tracks i could’ve done without.

      game’s verses on the city? dope.
      game’s flow/lyrics on rickey? incredible.
      game over premier? classic.
      that song to his daughter, at the end? perfect. right in line with like father like son.

      game gets hated on for things other than his music. he name drops. but that’s his style, dude’s flow is butter, and he’s always entertaining on the mic. game been on his own 2 dropping bangers for a while now, the internet reveals too much, cuz niggas let his character deter them from his music. he drops bangers. period. he can make dope rap in his sleep, the shit is easy to him. dope voice, dope flow, dope artist.

      also, did anyone catch game rapping like andre 3000 on the joint with e-40 and big boi? i caught that off the rip. some of yall might think its biting, but it was deliberate, and i thought it came off dope.

      also, the good, the bad, and the ugly, has some of the coldest storytelling i heard in a minute. that’s some straigt up biggie shit. with game hitting niggas with the live from compton, shyne/big/game style.

      game is a nut, but he’s one of the dopest major artists out and hes proven himself over and over. theres a reason everyone in the biz loves working with the guy. he gets it done. he has fun with music and he cares about the craft. nas cosigning game really made that clear to me.

      GAME, did the damn thing. experimental album that came out NICE.

      i hope GAME drops a part 2 to doctors advocate. straight west coast shit. doctors advocate, is one of the illest west coast albums ever IMO. this shit here, is just dope hip hop with a little somethin for everyone. nicely done JT.

    10. RED ALBUM IS a CLASSIC ALBUM !!!!yeah yeah BWS BOOM BOOM!!!!THE CITY, MARTIANS VS GOBLINS, RED NATION ,POT OF GOLD & CALIFORNIA DREAM ARE MY FAVO’s LOVE that CALI TRACK FOR HIS LIL GIRL!!!GAME WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVO RAPPER!!!!

    11. Album is solid. Collective. I was ready to give it a 3 thinking game would flop. Only until i heard the record today. This guy deserves 5 rating!

      Incredible album in my opinion.

      Favourite track: The City

    12. After listenning “Ricky” I really want Game to release a Khalil produced album, these tracks always stand out (Da Shit was da shit in the past). 4/5 album, lyrically not the best but his albums always got that right feel..

    13. I’m def gonna check this out, i havent even listened but the album is not gonna be a classic. It’ll have some great tracks, but for an album to be a classic every track needs to be great. Looking at the tracklist i already know some songs are gonna blow dick, Tracks with Chris Brown and Nelly Furtado? Fuck that, and lyrically Game aint that nice.

    14. I was expecting this to be whack. But I was Wrong. This shit is really nice. This is probably Game’s best album. Too many features though. Still good though.

    15. I been a Game fan since day one and bump all his albums but this shit is fucking horrible…bunch of rnb and soft niggas all over it? GTFOH…Yes there are a few bangers on here but 23% heat and 77% fairy dust don’t make a hot album…VERY disappointing…2/5

    16. This album is the best I’ve heard all year. It’s nice to see all these not hip hop knowing fools STFU after hearing this when they were talking hella shit before.

      This is how a hip hop album should be done. I feel like I went back 10 years hearing this because you just don’t hear albums put together like this these days. Great production with a large variety of sounds without sounding like pop music, great lyrics, and an actual concept that isn’t trying TOO HARD. People need to stfu about “too many features” and that namedropping shit. What album today doesn’t have at least 5 features and which rapper today doesn’t drop a few names in every single one of their songs? That is not the issue. The issue is whether or not this album is dope and it is.

      Then let me get on the comparisons to WTT. WTT is not hip hop. It was easily the whackest album I’ve heard all year and I pre-ordered it and listened to it at least 6 times TRYING to like something on it. It’s just a whack album with no direction, kanye and jay-z talking about how rich they are, what rich people do, and how much better they are than you. It’s not hip hop. Just some niggas rapping over pop beats.

      The R.E.D. album is much better than WTT on so many levels. When you put Jay-Z and Kanye together I was expecting to hear some illmatic, reasonable doubt, college dropout, BE type of shit. Some real hip hop shit. But what did we get? A pop album. Kanye really needs to go back to that college dropout era shit cause he’s falling the fuck off in my book, feeling himself too much. How do you go from Two Words and Just To Get By, Slow Jamz, Through The Wire, etc. to what he’s putting out now? Then you got all these people who don’t know hip hop riding his dick no matter what he puts out. It’s a damn shame.

      Game’s album is album of the year so far.

    17. Great album… Game and Kendrick should do a whole album. Detox next… I wanna hear a Game and Eminem track in 2011. Aftermath

    18. WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY to many tracks ill never understand why people keep making 20 plus track albums it’s far to much if game knocked 8 mediocre tracks off this album he could have had a classic

    19. Overall Imma give this shit 2.5 Zeus slaps outta 5. After he got off to a bullshit start I thought he was gettin on a roll there for a minute…but then he jus started drownin in a ocean of estrogen n teardrops. Its like the album had a change a heart son. I cant really fuck wit none a that shit par. Thats all I got for yall niggas.
      Aight peace.

      2.1/5

    20. I agree, this shit had too many tracks, I started dozing off, too many features too…the whole joint was kinda pointless, at the end of the album i knew no more about Game than I did at the start…

    21. Great Album !!! It’s a f*ckin’ Dope ! A lot of fans and persons and Rappers were waiting for RED album and I think they will be surprised by the quality!

      For me Ricky is the best Song, with a 5 stars Production
      The 2nd single is City with Kendrick Lamar
      And in third, I love Martians vs Gobelins

      Game gave a lot of mixtapes for FREE and he’s a very productive Rapper! And his fans can only buy this Album to thank Him for these last two Years with full of great songs!

      I think this Album will contain more Classics that we could Imagine !

      Thanxxx Game and continu to follow U on twitter @thegame from @gofaster90

      1. Possibly his best yet??? If you like Drake, then this is the Game album for you.
        UNQUESTIONABLY his worst yet.

    22. to all the haters… FUKK URL! url probably listen to radi friendly hip hop and then come out here and hate on real hip hop. go n listen to ur khaleds, wackas, guccis, waynes and all the madafuckaz dat keep doin it for the money. url getn mad cos shady/aftermath is back on that ass!

      1. Dogg this album is MOSTLY radio level trash…DRAKE IS ON IT!!!

        And for the record, Game is not on Shady/Aftermath…

    23. Album is fire from beginning to end. What are you idiots complaining about? Too many features, too many songs….. STFU and just enjoy the music… 5/5

      R.E.D >>> WTT

      1. WTT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RED
        SLAIN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RED
        THURZ LA RIOT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RED

        RED=RYDING EVERYBODYS DICK

    24. hod guy how the fuck u gone say royce and em fell off when ur fav rapper lil wayne has been releasin albums that are completely wack?? welcome 2 hell alne beats any song Wayne has ever dun in his life and it wasnt suposd to be an album, it was jus records they were sittin on

      1. Boi wayne my favorite rapper, I like Phonte, Jay-Z, & Lupe fuk outta with that ignant shyt. Bad Meet Evil release an album for depressed white men in their early 30’s, don’t be mad at me because the white boy fell off his first two albums were classics and then he lost it.I love royce’s lyrics hate his flow, it’s boring. Big Sean has a better flow than royce right now haha. I didn’t even get to the awful production, them sound like bagin beats they were rapping over

    25. D.O.P.E., but his fan base isn’t as big as Wayne, or Kanye/Jay’s, or Drake’s, he ain’t gon sell as much as them.

    26. How can you claim this album is “crap”?? The production throughout the whole album is diverse. And game has an aggressive flow that he changes up from song too song. All the features on it were dope (I liked what Tyler and Kendrick added). Do yall actually listen too the music? HipHop fans can never unite and say this album was dope people always feel like if they dont like something it appears like their standard is “higher”. Im not a Game fan at all but this was a dope album. If when Coles and Kendrick’s album comes out and %50 of yall on here are like this is “wack, fail and ect” imma say fuck hiphop fans cus if you love a genre you dont look for things not to like about an album just to try and make yourself seem cool. You dont claim an album is wack just cus you dont like the rapper. HipHop has too many dickiders and haters in it thats the problem people cant listen too things subjectively. Cus if you just listen too this album with a open mind you cant claim its wack. And stop comparing every album and song that comes out too classics and using that as a reference too why it isnt dope. Shit will never be as dope as Tupac or Biggie or Big L so stop tryna hold every artist too that standard dumb fucks. Do you see Rock fans comparing everything too Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles? They don’t they just enjoy the music and take it as it is. Im starting to think the people who leave comments on here are rich white girls that live in the suburbs with YMCMB posters on their wall……FUCK YALL.

      1. I agree. Few too many slow beats on it but all in all a really good album. For me, Game does a lot better on beats with heavy bass lines and simple melodies which is what Dre seemed to create a few years back. Although his production is a little slower and too busy nowadays.

        The City and Martians v Goblins are the best tracks for me too!

    27. good review. fair. Album is dope. some joints are not the best but majority of the album is really good. good job Game =]

    28. Even though WTT outsell RED, RED>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>WTT

    29. Mos def solid album, this is what we want game to do more on a consistent basis, he should not rush albums like he did with lax, he has definitely grown as an artist as he did not need much help from dre, Mars and him are good fit, they have good chemistry, as i said solid album!!! Keep it up homie

    30. Damn ,how can this album be a 4 .im a HUGE Game fan and i ve been followin him since the start of his career.Unfortunately i see he changed his style,that ain no gangsta.Its the new school hip hop.I would rate this album 2.5/5 just because i know Game can be MUCH better. Martians vs Goblins is still the song of the year though

    31. he should have a 4 he got the entire industry on the album def jam cash money they even have a interview with him saying he work better as a team lmao dont you ever compare this bum to jay-z.a rap legend who cant make a solo album to save his life all his albums are mixtapes the last hit he had was from his first album/mixtape. WTT talking about real shit red is fiction so pardon my back

    32. WTT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RED
      SLAIN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RED
      THURZ LA RIOT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RED

      RED=RYDING EVERYBODYS DICK

    33. real and decent hiphop with a few bullshit songs.

      but once again beats carrying Game’s album

      luckily only 1 beat from dre.

    34. i dont understand why this album is 4.46. i have this album and does not deserve to be that high. honestly its garbage. it sounds too forced and he constantly raps about the same stories only differentiating the tales ever so often. its always something along the lines of “when i was listening to dre” “before i got signed to dre” “dre this dre that” “jay this jay that” not the exact quotes but you get the picture. the album is very mediocre and cliched. doesnt get better til track 12 being ok. track 15 ok then “born in the trap” is the best song on the album. and im not hating im a fan of game but this album sucks. i seriously give this album 2.5 stars. not worth listening to after the first time.

      1. please..when game drops a SOLO album insted of 1 to 2 verses per song and has 12 number one albums.As an artist jay-z holds the record for most number one albums by a solo artist PERIOD the only thing he can do is WASH THE THRONE

    35. Too many bullshit songs compared to really the good ones. ALBUM OF THE YEAR?? LOLOLOLOL The day Game understands how to be an artist and not some middle aged dude who can’t keep a single persons name out his mouth and still talks about gang bangin and blocks he can’t walk on is the day he’ll put out somethin that good.

    36. Sick album only downer Rough should maybe be on the album Kendrick and Tyler with real good additions to the album. Ricky is the best track in my opinion but all round quality from Game my favourite rapper by far.

    37. Kendrick had an awful flow on The City. Sounded like some 12 year old on crack. Yall gotta put him off that pedestal just cuz he uses big words.

    38. This album was very good but not a CLASSIC….. I felt like some of his mixtape tracks were better than some of the tracks like “Monsters In My Head, Rough, and a couple others”….. But The City, Martians Vs. Goblins , Good Bad Ugly, Ricky, Born In the Trap were fucking Amazing

    39. Solid album, but there are way to many features on it. It feels like this album over stays it’s welcome because it’s so long. I give it a 3 outta 5 stars.

    40. “The album runs a little long in length (almost an hour and a half), with all but four songs having at least one feature”=mixtape game and friends lmao

    41. yeah its proper,,,,it ill work,,, sounds better than that watch the throne joint ass a whole,,,,,,good product for 2011,,,,,,

    42. This shit won’t sell more than a 100,000 it’s first week and it will probably sell about 300,000 TOTAL. It sounds like a good album based on the snippets and the songs that leaked, but a classic???? You Game ball ticklers are on some bullshit.

    43. Game is literally the most hated rapper I have ever seen, reading the horrible reviews that he’s been getting sort of had be doubting what this album would unveil and my doubts were put to rest instantly. The album bangs right from the beginning. Although I had my doubts about the middle section I thought it did sag, but after a few listens I understood the music a little more. That’s the thing about classic albums, usually they take a couple of listens to understand their true dopeness. I still don’t get Illmatic and that’s one of the deepest, smartest and honest hip hop albums ever made. Now I’m not calling this album a classic yet, it needs to marinate for a minute, but I will say that it is a thrilling album, high energy and passionate, he even sounds dope on his ode to female joints and most MC’s complete fail in that department. I do agree that adding some other songs from his mixtapes this year would have pushed this into instant classic status, but overall, and I did compare this to all the dopest albums this year, this is the best of the batch so far. We are all subject to our own opinions and we all have a right to say whatever the fuck we want. So this is my view on the album and only mine. Glad to see he was vindicated. Peace

    44. what other classic albums this hold up to NONE because the other albums where by solo artist this is a compilation not a solo album he has about what maybe 20 songs by himself in his entire career and he a legend with classic albums? hhaha a rap legend with the industry for ghostwriters hahah ok

      1. thats what i’ve been saying, then game tries to sound like half the people hes featured with, tyler the creator tries to sound like him, jeezy tries to sound like him, ross tries to sound like him, that sound with big boi and e-40 he tries to sound like them. then half the sound is wack like that song with lloyd c’mon what fuck is this shit.

    45. MANY PEOPLE HATIN ON THIS ALBUM, BUT I DIDNT SEE A BETTER ALBUM ON 2011 THAN THIS.
      Section 80 was great, but needed a better production, but overall :
      CALI OWNS THIS YEAR : SECTION 80 AND RED AOTY!!!

    46. Another classic album from Game. I loved this the moment I pressed play, from beginning to end this was a masterpiece without a doubt about it. Game clearly proves why he is one of the best in “the game” to date, with his witty rhymes, catchy flows and undeniable passion, it’s hard to hate on this album. Game on!

      1. you cant call this a classic cuz we wont be talking about it in 10+ years like the documentary, but it is def a quality album on of the best in a few years. Only classics in my recent memory are MDBTF and Boy Meets World

    47. this is the shit right here fuck all you game haters, game the westcoast and is dope in every song he does he doesnt get enough credit overlooked by fake ass niggas like j cole

    48. The Only Weak Tracks are Paramedics,all the way gone,and All I know. Since Game has been working on this since 09 I expected a near 4.5 mic rating,but was let down. Too many features in my opinion overshadow the album. The City is great especially with Kendrick Lamar on it. Ricky shows us why game can still spit, Born in the Trap is an excellent collabo with Premo, the hook is priceless. Drake delivers an superb verse on good girls gone bad. Heavy Artillery, and Speakers on Blast are alright at best, but could’ve been better. Although it flows smooth well untill track 11. All in all Game delivers an album worth coppin but leaves me thinking wanting more. Support it.

      1. I read that review and it was hilarious…but I hope you know that aint really ghost…first of all Ghost wouldn’t have fronted on Game like that..if you heard Ghost’s last album you would know that Game delivered one of the hardest verses on the whole album. Plus he’s down with Wu Tang and pretty much every other respected vet in the rap game.

    49. Really 4 out of 5. more like a 3. half the album is love songs, full of features, the only good tracks are ricky, the city, good bad ugly. The rest are not that good.

    50. this nigga anonymous needs to GTFO. He replies to himself agreeing with himself and he is the only one hating

    51. THE BLACK ALBUM>>>>>>the red album
      black album features 0 red 16

      game is a jay-z stan “The day Jay retire I’ma park next to the throne, in a Maybach on gold wires” hahah from the games own mouth

    52. this shit is a 3 at best…too many guest spots and he tries to make it sound west coast but fails…game is average at best…

    53. could do without some tracks and them Dr Dre skit, they are just shit, all in all, solid 4.5/5, great album if you ask me

    54. 1. Dr. Dre Intro – This shit was mad unnecessary b.

      2. The City (ft. Kendrick Lamar) – This shit is jus way too dramatic yo. Son sounds like he was listenin to Nas’s One Mic for like a month straight before he went into the booth to spit this shit son. The nigga sounds like he swallowed Crooked I or Royce Da 5’9 or some shit. Not sure which one…but I swear he usin another niggas flow tho. Then the nigga got the nerve to say he Top 5 dead or alive. Son…. Niggas laugh at Jadakiss for sayin shit like that….n that nigga could actually spit at one point namsayin. But he aint done makin ridiculous claims son. Its like he tryin to test a niggas patience when he says some shit bout bein the black Slim Shady. But then son starts to REALLY lose his composure n says he “the best the West ever seen, no disrespect to Calvin”. Best what nigga? Son….you disrespectin a whole lot more niggas than jus Calvin nahmean. I wont go thru the WHOLE list son…but summa the niggas Im talmbout got names you mighta heard before…like Oshea n TUPAC….maybe even ANDRE. But thats a whole nother topic namsayin. Not to mention that the nigga doin the hook…who also hails from the West… ends the song by completely bodyin the beat. Im sayin the beat actually hid from the nigga n jus disappeared while son was spittin. So after all ya talk bout bein top 5 n bein the black Eminem you gon jus let Kendrick rape you on the track son? If I was you Jayceon…I woulda been told the nigga to get the fuck out the studio and dont come back til he could mediocre his shit up a little.

      3. Drug Test (ft. Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg & Sly) – Speak of the devil yo…the OTHER best niggas the West ever produced….This joint been out for a minute yo. Matter fact I think its the latest single. Thing is yo…I dont kno how you get Dre n Snoop on a joint wit you n the shit barely makes a peep on the radio or in clubs namsayin. Imma tell you why tho. Cos the shit is mediocre as fuck b. When you got the two niggas who made G-Thang n Next Episode n Still D.R.E. on a joint wit you…you cant be droppin no filler that sounds like some shit Timbaland was snappin his neck(s) n splashin his fruit punch all over the studio to durin the Black Album sessions son.

      4. Martians Vs Goblins (ft. Tyler The Creator & Lil Wayne) – Heres the thing bout this nigga son. When he go into another nigga chamber he go straight to jockin that nigga shit. Its been that way since day 1 tho nahmean. He was doin joints wit 50 Cent…he sounded like Fif. He did a joint wit Eminem…son got his Slim Shady on all over that muthafucka. He do joints wit Nas…he all a sudden spittin like Nas. He do a joint wit Rae…he soundin like Rae. Im sayin this nigga never bring his own identity to the table. So when he decides to start surfin the Tyler wave…you already kno what this nigga gon be doin namsayin. Then he throws Lil Weezy-Ana on this shit n we spose to have some mindblowin shit happenin here I guess. Son talmbout slurpin on Erykah Badu box n pokin Bron Bron’s moms n shit. All that shit is whatever but this nigga said “when Im wit my uncle…fuck it…then Im a Crip too” which lets you kno how serious he is bout this Blood life. I cant fuck wit this shit tho.

      5. Red Nation (ft. Lil Wayne) – This joints probably the only shit so far that I feel like listenin to again. Its been out for a minute so I actually heard this a couple times already nahmean. But at least the nigga jus stayin in his lane doin his own thing here. Yeah he droppin names like a fuckin prison snitch all over this muthafucka….I mean the first verse sounds like “Im so____ like____mixed wit____. I kno____…whattup to_____, _______ , n _______!” ….but I fucks wit it.

      6. Dr. Dre 1 – yawn….

      7. Good Girls Go Bad (ft. Drake) – Say you a nigga who happened to make some pretty suspect choices throughout ya life…like bein a hood Chippendale dancer n gettin butterflies n stars tatted on ya face n cryin durin interviews when nobody asked you nothin to get emotional bout….shit like that. Now lets say you wanna do a song wit a nigga who a lotta muthafuckas believe is like the livin embodiment of bein a suspect nigga. A nigga whose natural scent is pear. A nigga that practically bleeds syrup. A nigga whose own moms aint even realize was a boy n named the muthafucka Aubrey….say this is you. Do you really wanna go namin the joint you doin together “Good Girls Go Bad” b? Anyway this joint aint bad. Drizzy on his “blah blah blah guuuuurrl” shit again n droppin heatrocks like “I love ya ass like the Ninja Turtles love pizza”. Game on his namedroppin shit. Im sayin tho….son mentioned jus Kanye alone three times b. Anyway I fucks wit it.

      8. Ricky – This shit named after the nigga in Boyz N The Hood who wasnt Ice Cube or Cuba Gooding Jr. Rite off the bat I wanna say that the nigga DJ Khalil laced this muthafuckin beat wit steroids yo. This shit sound like gorillas beatin they chests wit sledge hammers b. This shit sound like its rainin watermelons in the studio. Theres broads screamin n lightning bolts shootin outta shit n violins n elephants stampedin on this muthafucka n whatever… The nigga Game aint really sayin nobody names either so I got give him some dap for that too. Word. I fucks wit it.

      9. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly – Thought it was Dre rhymin on this shit at first yo. If I was bein generous Id say this shit was aight nahmean. But on the real….I dont really give a fuck bout this song son.

      10. Heavy Artillery (ft. Rick Ross & Beanie Sigel) – This shit is ill. The beat is tough as fuck nahmean. Ricky Rozay goes first n spits some hardbody darts rite out the gate. Next Game comes in n drops one a his better 16s n manages to keep niggas names out his mouth for 75% of the verse. Then the Broad Street Bully comes in n bodies this shit. I fucks wit it.

      11. Paramedics (ft. Young Jeezy) – I swear I couldnt even tell if Game was even on this shit at first b. I had to listen to it twice yo. This nigga mussa been garglin sand before Jeezy got to the studio to get his voice to sound extra raspy tho nahmean. This shit was jus mad awkward g. Wonder how Jeezy felt bout that shit when he heard it yo. Somebody need to explain to this nigga that you aint gotta go outta ya way to impersonate the nigga you doin the song wit tho b. This shit was fucked up son. Snowman did his thing tho. I kinda fucks wit it….not really tho.

      12. Speakers On Blast (ft. E-40 & Big Boi) – N here we go again wit that bullshit. Son channelin his inner 3 Stacks on this shit like he tryna impress Big Boi. The hook is some ATLiens shit too. This startin to remind me a some Single White Female shit tho. Stop it 5. I pressed skipped before I heard the 40 Fonzarelli bars…so I cant really comment on that yo.

      13. Hello (ft. Lloyd) – First off I jus wanna say that I dont fuck wit no Lloyd son. Justin Bieber got a more masculine voice than this nigga here namsayin. N Lloyd a grown man b. Drake at his most effeminate state possible…walkin round his garden singin duets wit canaries n strokin kittens….cant even sound this bitchmade son. If a baby flamingo opened its mouth to say whattup to me I would expect that muthafucka to sound jus like this nigga Lloyd b. If vaginas could sing they would probably sound EXACTLY like this nigga Lloyd yo. Even El Debarge be sayin this niggas shit is too soft nahmean. Son aint got one molecule of bass in his voice whatsoever namsayin. The shit is jus creepy my nigga. The joint itself is jus way too got damn silky yo. I can almost see the dandelions gettin blown around in the studio when niggas was recordin this shit b. How many Nuvo body shots did these niggas do off each other before they came up wit this shit son? Get this shit the fuck outta here yo.

      14. All The Way Gone (ft. Mario & Wale) – Guess this spose to be the part of the album where all the panty droppin starts…cos this joint is almost as corny as the last one b. Only thing that keeps it from bein more ass than the Hello joint is the nigga Mario aint sound bitchmade like Lloyd. The nigga Wale on this shit too. Yall probably remember him as Future from 8 Mile. Anyways…skip.

      15. Pot Of Gold (ft. Chris Brown) – This shit rite here is exactly what you would expect from the two most emotional n mentally unstable niggas in the game….some melodramatic boo hoo shit wit Breezy singin bout not dancin on rainbows no more or whatever n Game threatenin to quit rap after two more albums (he actually said that after the first two albums son…n promised he was done after the third…but whatever yo). This was actually the first official single after the other first official singles he dropped last year. I cant even tell you how much I dont fucks wit this shit tho son.

      16. Dr Dre 2 – Seriously…is this shit even necessary b?

      17. All I Know (ft. Lu Breeze) – Son…I almost aint even make it past the suspect ass intro. This shit obviously reminds me a litttle of Jigga’s All I Need….not in a good way tho. I dont hate this joint but probably aint no way Im gon ever skip to #17 n try n hear this shit again on purpose.

      18. Born In The Trap – DJ PREMIER-P-P-P-Premiere did this shit! BUT…let me clarify yo. This aint the Preemo that did the beats for 5 classic Gang Starr albums n had probably the best joints on Reasonable Doubt, Illmatic n Ready To Die son….this is the Premier that cant get beats placed on Jay or Nas albums no more n been gettin shitted on by Kanye for the past 5 years. Niggas use to be like “PREEM LEMME GET A BEAT PLEASE YO!!! I GOT YA 30 Gs RITE HERE SON”. Now niggas is like “Shit…that nigga Preemo sendin me links to his SoundCloud again….”. I love that nigga Preem tho. Thats my heart. N this joint is still A LOT better than the bullshit we been hearin over the last 6 or 7 tracks b. I fucks wit it.

      19. Mama Knows (ft. Nelly Furtado) – He got my baby’s mama Nelly Furtado on this joint…so props for that shit b. Anyways yo…theres three different Pharrells son. There the nigga that did Grindin n Hell Hath No Fury n Blue Magic n whatever. Aka the nigga that dont give a fuck bout melodies n song hooks n jus hits you wit that raw shit. Then theres the bongo happy Pharrell who had all those hits in the 00s wit pretty much eybody that was in the music industry at that time nahmean. Then theres the Pharrell that conned Jay into thinkin Allure was the shit that shoulda been playin at the end a Carlito’s Way….the nigga that makes those Nyquil joints that make you feel like you wanna call it a day at 11am. The Pharrell that made this shit aint the first two. Ayo Skateboard P…son gets ya logo tatted on hisself n started dressin like you n THIS is all you came up wit for this nigga? This shit aint grimey OR catchy son. This shit is the snooze button that lets you kno you can go back to sleep for a couple minutes. Dont listen to this shit when you behind the wheel b. Fair warning.

      20. California Dream – Guess you can wake back up now! This beat kinda fly rite here….I think I fucks wit….oh wait. Hold up a minute…..oh wait this nigga tellin you the whole damn story bout when another one a his kids was born b. Son. You been done this shit already. This shit wont ever be my favorite joint on the album. But I guess I fucks wit it.

      21. Dr Dre Outro – This shit jus sounds stupid comin in at the end son. I feel like Im spose to be turnin the shit over to listen to the other side. Sounds like a damn intro….Anyways son basically took 2 minutes of Dre speakin on him n split it up into 4 tracks on his album. Cant respect that type of Stannin b.

      Overall Imma give this shit 2.5 Zeus slaps outta 5. After he got off to a bullshit start I thought he was gettin on a roll there for a minute…but then he jus started drownin in a ocean of estrogen n teardrops. Its like the album had a change a heart son. I cant really fuck wit none a that shit par. Thats all I got for yall niggas.

      Aight peace.

      1. Big Ghost that was a totally ignorant review of this cd we all jus got a little bit more musicallly ignorant due to ur off base reasonings nd just pure hate of the game….u r a retard nd i hope u get the help u need…good day to u sir

      2. real review but ill give it a 3.5 no better than that it sounds like a mixtape i thought after all this time he was in the studio solo but he still following the documentry blueprint

      3. At times very harsh but funny as fuck review.
        Justin Bieber got a more masculine voice than this nigga here namsayin. N Lloyd a grown man b. Drake at his most effeminate state possible…walkin round his garden singin duets wit canaries n strokin kittens….cant even sound this bitchmade son. If a baby flamingo opened its mouth to say whattup to me I would expect that muthafucka to sound jus like this nigga Lloyd b. If vaginas could sing they would probably sound EXACTLY like this nigga Lloyd yo. … hahahahahaha.. il say game tried still. il give the album 3.8

    55. this is such a biased review it’s unbelievable. Just cause you guys at DX suck Game’s nuts all day doesn’t mean you have to make up this bullshit. There are honestly way too many guest spots and this niggas ryhmes are sub-par at best. Smh DX you guys are slackin. How can you rate Watch the Throne a 4 and this a 4? FAGS

      1. theres like 3 songs in which he tells his stories. The rest are features and love songs. like it doesnt deserve a four, and i bought all 3 game albums but i’ve had enough of his shit, he aint the best the west has ever seen

      2. shutup faggot. Watch the throne was sum bullshit yeezy and jay threw together with thier stupid brand behind it. RED is a high quality full length studio album, hottest shit of the year so far, and the best since MBDTF

      3. bullshit you crazy your statement shows your age only kids call kanye yeezy and with that wttt is over your head game has the vocabulary of a 9th grader

    56. although Game seems to be riding all up on Dr. Dre it doesn’t take away from his skill set. the production is great, lyrics are mostly on point, and even though there are 35 (over exaggerated) features everyone does their thing. great album, didn’t disappoint. 4/5

    57. This is what you get when you have a marketing machine behind you. Auto generated comments supporting the artist every song and step. A guest ‘blog’ spot on a supposedly independent music website. A financially influenced music review. This is all smoke and mirrors folks, and HHDX should be ashamed. This album is average overall.

    58. anyone that hates on this cd is dumb…..u can’t compare it to watch the throne cuz kanye nd jay z r on some othershit…..they r at a diffrent point in their career then the game is…..they dont have as many doubters or haters so they dont have to prove themselves as much as game does….And Love Songs????their is only 3 nd 2 of them r back to back…..it doesnt take away from the quality of the cd….its dope get over it

    59. game gueast editor of the week wtf made up shit is this glad allhiphop is not bias this site is funkmaster flex=PAYOLA

    60. so how he gonna tour this album with so many features? oh yeah he only does documentry songs when he perform i forgot

    61. honestly i like this better than wtt, where i live people aren’t scared to admit jay and kanye album just wasn’t that good i give credit when it due no mater who you are and game did a good job first album i liked from him since the documentary

    62. Talk all the shit you want, You clown-ass arm crossers will be getting this album, but we all know you lame asses will be illegally downloading it.

    63. good album but stop with the game vs jay-z talk jay-z is games idol the man has over 60 lines dedicated to his idol and even owns a jay-z custom made t-shirt good album but game needs a team effort to get it done he even said it so a legend not even close he never will release a solo album

    64. It’s actually a pretty good album and the review seemed spot on but noticed how his albums go in order of dopest in when he released them?

      Documentary was the dopest, then Doctors Advocate, then LAX, then RED.

      ironic as fuck! ha

      1. Wow… I was reading all the positive comments about this album, then I get to yours. If RED is not better than LAX or Doctor’s Advocate, it’s not worth copping to me. So I hope your assessment is just wrong.

        If you say this album is pretty good but it’s not better than LAX, something’s wrong. LAX was not that good dude…

    65. jay-z is a trend setter-It seems that WTT has changed the music game, as we know it. After the VMA’s on Sunday, Wayne will be giving iTunes the exclusive release of Tha Carter IV. This seems to be the blueprint for success in today’s music world. Let’s see how this works out for Weezy

    66. This album would’ve been better if every song sounded like Born In The Trap, that song gave me hope that hip hop would return this year with DJ Premier doing what he does best and an autobiographical song about the trap of the ghetto lifestyle..So it’s really 4 stars for me

    67. only people on this website think its a classic the album gonna do only 200k first week so its a flop for a major artist and label maybe next time

      1. You really are a moron… like seriously. You clearly don’t follow music if you think selling 200K in one week is a flop. That’s almost half way to gold in ONE WEEK. Fuck how big the artist or label is, that’s a big first week for anybody…

    68. 4/5… Could of been better if we would of had some more Pharrell & Dre tracks but hey…With all the delays i’m happy we got it anyways. And it’s hella good

    69. Dammn these fake comments only make me tired!Half of all these retards hatin on GAME only jump on the bandwagon of some old lame 50 cent fans thats all bullshit!!GAME is one of the greatest evver did on the mic!!

    70. Dope album and I give it 4/5 stars. Game gave away a few bangers via mixtapes and leaks that should have been saved for the album. I think the long delay diminished some of buzz that was surrounding this release.

      1. Lasers?? Hahaha… To call that trash album of the year, you must be snortin the same shit Lupe been snortin’. Haha

    71. 1. Dr. Dre Intro – This shit was mad unnecessary b.

      2. The City (ft. Kendrick Lamar) – This shit is jus way too dramatic yo. Son sounds like he was listenin to Nas’s One Mic for like a month straight before he went into the booth to spit this shit son. The nigga sounds like he swallowed Crooked I or Royce Da 5’9 or some shit. Not sure which one…but I swear he usin another niggas flow tho. Then the nigga got the nerve to say he Top 5 dead or alive. Son…. Niggas laugh at Jadakiss for sayin shit like that….n that nigga could actually spit at one point namsayin. But he aint done makin ridiculous claims son. Its like he tryin to test a niggas patience when he says some shit bout bein the black Slim Shady. But then son starts to REALLY lose his composure n says he “the best the West ever seen, no disrespect to Calvin”. Best what nigga? Son….you disrespectin a whole lot more niggas than jus Calvin nahmean. I wont go thru the WHOLE list son…but summa the niggas Im talmbout got names you mighta heard before…like Oshea n TUPAC….maybe even ANDRE. But thats a whole nother topic namsayin. Not to mention that the nigga doin the hook…who also hails from the West… ends the song by completely bodyin the beat. Im sayin the beat actually hid from the nigga n jus disappeared while son was spittin. So after all ya talk bout bein top 5 n bein the black Eminem you gon jus let Kendrick rape you on the track son? If I was you Jayceon…I woulda been told the nigga to get the fuck out the studio and dont come back til he could mediocre his shit up a little.

      3. Drug Test (ft. Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg & Sly) – Speak of the devil yo…the OTHER best niggas the West ever produced….This joint been out for a minute yo. Matter fact I think its the latest single. Thing is yo…I dont kno how you get Dre n Snoop on a joint wit you n the shit barely makes a peep on the radio or in clubs namsayin. Imma tell you why tho. Cos the shit is mediocre as fuck b. When you got the two niggas who made G-Thang n Next Episode n Still D.R.E. on a joint wit you…you cant be droppin no filler that sounds like some shit Timbaland was snappin his neck(s) n splashin his fruit punch all over the studio to durin the Black Album sessions son.

      4. Martians Vs Goblins (ft. Tyler The Creator & Lil Wayne) – Heres the thing bout this nigga son. When he go into another nigga chamber he go straight to jockin that nigga shit. Its been that way since day 1 tho nahmean. He was doin joints wit 50 Cent…he sounded like Fif. He did a joint wit Eminem…son got his Slim Shady on all over that muthafucka. He do joints wit Nas…he all a sudden spittin like Nas. He do a joint wit Rae…he soundin like Rae. Im sayin this nigga never bring his own identity to the table. So when he decides to start surfin the Tyler wave…you already kno what this nigga gon be doin namsayin. Then he throws Lil Weezy-Ana on this shit n we spose to have some mindblowin shit happenin here I guess. Son talmbout slurpin on Erykah Badu box n pokin Bron Bron’s moms n shit. All that shit is whatever but this nigga said “when Im wit my uncle…fuck it…then Im a Crip too” which lets you kno how serious he is bout this Blood life. I cant fuck wit this shit tho.

      5. Red Nation (ft. Lil Wayne) – This joints probably the only shit so far that I feel like listenin to again. Its been out for a minute so I actually heard this a couple times already nahmean. But at least the nigga jus stayin in his lane doin his own thing here. Yeah he droppin names like a fuckin prison snitch all over this muthafucka….I mean the first verse sounds like “Im so____ like____mixed wit____. I kno____…whattup to_____, _______ , n _______!” ….but I fucks wit it.

      6. Dr. Dre 1 – yawn….

      7. Good Girls Go Bad (ft. Drake) – Say you a nigga who happened to make some pretty suspect choices throughout ya life…like bein a hood Chippendale dancer n gettin butterflies n stars tatted on ya face n cryin durin interviews when nobody asked you nothin to get emotional bout….shit like that. Now lets say you wanna do a song wit a nigga who a lotta muthafuckas believe is like the livin embodiment of bein a suspect nigga. A nigga whose natural scent is pear. A nigga that practically bleeds syrup. A nigga whose own moms aint even realize was a boy n named the muthafucka Aubrey….say this is you. Do you really wanna go namin the joint you doin together “Good Girls Go Bad” b? Anyway this joint aint bad. Drizzy on his “blah blah blah guuuuurrl” shit again n droppin heatrocks like “I love ya ass like the Ninja Turtles love pizza”. Game on his namedroppin shit. Im sayin tho….son mentioned jus Kanye alone three times b. Anyway I fucks wit it.

      8. Ricky – This shit named after the nigga in Boyz N The Hood who wasnt Ice Cube or Cuba Gooding Jr. Rite off the bat I wanna say that the nigga DJ Khalil laced this muthafuckin beat wit steroids yo. This shit sound like gorillas beatin they chests wit sledge hammers b. This shit sound like its rainin watermelons in the studio. Theres broads screamin n lightning bolts shootin outta shit n violins n elephants stampedin on this muthafucka n whatever… The nigga Game aint really sayin nobody names either so I got give him some dap for that too. Word. I fucks wit it.

      9. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly – Thought it was Dre rhymin on this shit at first yo. If I was bein generous Id say this shit was aight nahmean. But on the real….I dont really give a fuck bout this song son.

      10. Heavy Artillery (ft. Rick Ross & Beanie Sigel) – This shit is ill. The beat is tough as fuck nahmean. Ricky Rozay goes first n spits some hardbody darts rite out the gate. Next Game comes in n drops one a his better 16s n manages to keep niggas names out his mouth for 75% of the verse. Then the Broad Street Bully comes in n bodies this shit. I fucks wit it.

      11. Paramedics (ft. Young Jeezy) – I swear I couldnt even tell if Game was even on this shit at first b. I had to listen to it twice yo. This nigga mussa been garglin sand before Jeezy got to the studio to get his voice to sound extra raspy tho nahmean. This shit was jus mad awkward g. Wonder how Jeezy felt bout that shit when he heard it yo. Somebody need to explain to this nigga that you aint gotta go outta ya way to impersonate the nigga you doin the song wit tho b. This shit was fucked up son. Snowman did his thing tho. I kinda fucks wit it….not really tho.

      12. Speakers On Blast (ft. E-40 & Big Boi) – N here we go again wit that bullshit. Son channelin his inner 3 Stacks on this shit like he tryna impress Big Boi. The hook is some ATLiens shit too. This startin to remind me a some Single White Female shit tho. Stop it 5. I pressed skipped before I heard the 40 Fonzarelli bars…so I cant really comment on that yo.

      13. Hello (ft. Lloyd) – First off I jus wanna say that I dont fuck wit no Lloyd son. Justin Bieber got a more masculine voice than this nigga here namsayin. N Lloyd a grown man b. Drake at his most effeminate state possible…walkin round his garden singin duets wit canaries n strokin kittens….cant even sound this bitchmade son. If a baby flamingo opened its mouth to say whattup to me I would expect that muthafucka to sound jus like this nigga Lloyd b. If vaginas could sing they would probably sound EXACTLY like this nigga Lloyd yo. Even El Debarge be sayin this niggas shit is too soft nahmean. Son aint got one molecule of bass in his voice whatsoever namsayin. The shit is jus creepy my nigga. The joint itself is jus way too got damn silky yo. I can almost see the dandelions gettin blown around in the studio when niggas was recordin this shit b. How many Nuvo body shots did these niggas do off each other before they came up wit this shit son? Get this shit the fuck outta here yo.

      14. All The Way Gone (ft. Mario & Wale) – Guess this spose to be the part of the album where all the panty droppin starts…cos this joint is almost as corny as the last one b. Only thing that keeps it from bein more ass than the Hello joint is the nigga Mario aint sound bitchmade like Lloyd. The nigga Wale on this shit too. Yall probably remember him as Future from 8 Mile. Anyways…skip.

      15. Pot Of Gold (ft. Chris Brown) – This shit rite here is exactly what you would expect from the two most emotional n mentally unstable niggas in the game….some melodramatic boo hoo shit wit Breezy singin bout not dancin on rainbows no more or whatever n Game threatenin to quit rap after two more albums (he actually said that after the first two albums son…n promised he was done after the third…but whatever yo). This was actually the first official single after the other first official singles he dropped last year. I cant even tell you how much I dont fucks wit this shit tho son.

      16. Dr Dre 2 – Seriously…is this shit even necessary b?

      17. All I Know (ft. Lu Breeze) – Son…I almost aint even make it past the suspect ass intro. This shit obviously reminds me a litttle of Jigga’s All I Need….not in a good way tho. I dont hate this joint but probably aint no way Im gon ever skip to #17 n try n hear this shit again on purpose.

      18. Born In The Trap – DJ PREMIER-P-P-P-Premiere did this shit! BUT…let me clarify yo. This aint the Preemo that did the beats for 5 classic Gang Starr albums n had probably the best joints on Reasonable Doubt, Illmatic n Ready To Die son….this is the Premier that cant get beats placed on Jay or Nas albums no more n been gettin shitted on by Kanye for the past 5 years. Niggas use to be like “PREEM LEMME GET A BEAT PLEASE YO!!! I GOT YA 30 Gs RITE HERE SON”. Now niggas is like “Shit…that nigga Preemo sendin me links to his SoundCloud again….”. I love that nigga Preem tho. Thats my heart. N this joint is still A LOT better than the bullshit we been hearin over the last 6 or 7 tracks b. I fucks wit it.

      19. Mama Knows (ft. Nelly Furtado) – He got my baby’s mama Nelly Furtado on this joint…so props for that shit b. Anyways yo…theres three different Pharrells son. There the nigga that did Grindin n Hell Hath No Fury n Blue Magic n whatever. Aka the nigga that dont give a fuck bout melodies n song hooks n jus hits you wit that raw shit. Then theres the bongo happy Pharrell who had all those hits in the 00s wit pretty much eybody that was in the music industry at that time nahmean. Then theres the Pharrell that conned Jay into thinkin Allure was the shit that shoulda been playin at the end a Carlito’s Way….the nigga that makes those Nyquil joints that make you feel like you wanna call it a day at 11am. The Pharrell that made this shit aint the first two. Ayo Skateboard P…son gets ya logo tatted on hisself n started dressin like you n THIS is all you came up wit for this nigga? This shit aint grimey OR catchy son. This shit is the snooze button that lets you kno you can go back to sleep for a couple minutes. Dont listen to this shit when you behind the wheel b. Fair warning.

      20. California Dream – Guess you can wake back up now! This beat kinda fly rite here….I think I fucks wit….oh wait. Hold up a minute…..oh wait this nigga tellin you the whole damn story bout when another one a his kids was born b. Son. You been done this shit already. This shit wont ever be my favorite joint on the album. But I guess I fucks wit it.

      21. Dr Dre Outro – This shit jus sounds stupid comin in at the end son. I feel like Im spose to be turnin the shit over to listen to the other side. Sounds like a damn intro….Anyways son basically took 2 minutes of Dre speakin on him n split it up into 4 tracks on his album. Cant respect that type of Stannin b.

      Overall Imma give this shit 2.5 Zeus slaps outta 5. After he got off to a bullshit start I thought he was gettin on a roll there for a minute…but then he jus started drownin in a ocean of estrogen n teardrops. Its like the album had a change a heart son. I cant really fuck wit none a that shit par. Thats all I got for yall niggas.

      Aight peace

      1. Nobody is gonna read all this, just so u know… plus with that length of a review you shouldve given it a 5, out of principle for your opportunity cost in taking the time to write what u did

    72. Honeslty I’m 8 tracks in I don’t really like it but it’s a great way for an album to be a story I’m just saying he could have had pharell & dr.dre more on the production instead of mars or he could have had Just blaze I mean come on use your oppurtunities Game! Really don’t like the tracklist too many features. This album seems to be commercial Hip-Hop his only classic albums were DOCUMENTARY & DA SO FAR !

      1. My dude… stop with this “commercial hip-hop” bullshit. That term had meaning years ago but now its just used to describe anything people don’t like. His first album was exectutive produced by Dr. Dre and 50 Cent and had producers like Kanye, Timbaland and Dre. U don’t get more “commercial” than that. U ask yourself what you really mean when you say that.

    73. Tyler serves his wack ass up, and he even admits Wayne fucked him up on his own shit…he’s a busta…

    74. Well, i can see the Game stans/dickriders are out in full effect. This album doesn’t even deserve a 3 out of 5. “The Game” is over. This is just another example of a bullshit pop album…man…i used to love Game’s music, but just about everything (i’d say 95% of it) since L.A.X. has been wack as fuck…but if it’s your favorite CD – more power to ya…but me…i got shit to listen to.

    75. This album is pretty dope. As @TheIceColdPhenom put well, he gave away a lot of bangers on mixtapes. “Dead” and “Believe That” could be radio singles. Love his music.

    76. Call me crazy, but I think R.E.D. album will be, naw I KNOW it will be rap album of the year! Ya digg!!
      5/5

    77. Honestly It was an alright album, I was hoping for more. Too many songs that could/should have been cut off. I counted more decent/bad songs than good so …

    78. this dude says he’s the best the west has ever seen… fuck outta here. look out for the new gen, KENDRICK LAMAR, you know dude probably made game wanna leave the studio when he stepped in the booth. he mighta felt like scratching the album period. SECTION 80 HIIII POWER!!!

      1. straight up, hiii power is such a crazy finish to that project, haven’t finished listening to RED yet but its decent so far

      2. @Weswes Let me see Kendrick Lamar release a better album than Documentary son.
        Game>Kendrick Lamar
        Documentary>>>>>>>Section 80

        -Enuff Said.

    79. Where is “the kill”? Even though it’s already on a mixtape, that song is too nice to not be on the album.

    80. a lot of skippable tracks….all those love songs dont work…that dre and snoop one…blah….young jeezy track…garbage the one following that garbage…however some songs are solid. 5/10

    81. I’ve been a Game fan since Documentary but I must say, sorry Game, but u & 50 r too alike..You’ll both nvr be able to produce a better albulm (or even close to) than ur first one. Red is very far from a classic. The features arent great and neither is Game.

      my rating:3/5
      fav tracks: good girls gon bad, the city, Ricky

    82. Well i got the album, didnt finish it yet, but i went about half way thru, its pretty good!

    83. The City, Martians vs Goblins, Red Nation, Hello, Pot of Gold, Born in the Trap, California Dream, The God the bad and the Ugly, RICKY, Heavy Altillery, Paramedics…. Its a 5/5 too meee, i dont know what you guys want, haters just wanna hate, i wanna see Lil Wayne or any other rapper have songs like that….. RED August 23

      1. you just saying that because it has good beats, his raps are still mediocre plus it’s like 5 soft a$$ songs towards the end that people will ignore because the good songs are estravagant

    84. Fuck all that R&B singing shit on there. He had to do that for radio play, but other than that it’s kinda hard.

    85. They didnt criticize one track off that album, first time Ive ever seen that from DX. Even as a fan its not a perfect album

    86. all the love/R&b songs arent my thing, but the “harder” songs are dope, Game will never be able to top The Doctor’s Advocate.

    87. glad you like the album i paid for the review now go get me my money g–unott red tmrw stop downloading you mother fuckers

    88. This what I was waitin on! Ain’t too much otha junk out there to anticipate! Game is one of da few handful of rappers I still effs wit!

    89. RED TMRW IN STORES hate it or love it im still on top go get my money bitches and thanks for the pre orders and dre didnt want to do any tracks because the hotter the album the bigger my percentage fuck you dre

    90. why does game always imitate the featured artist on his songs? That shit with jeezy is fucking painful to hear…

    91. Def better than LAX but still far from the documentary and doctor’s advocate. Kendrick Lamar killed it at the end of The City. Def better album than watch the throne

      1. just because it doesnt sell a lot doesn’t mean it can’t be album of the year you idiot. how many times does it have to be said for you dumb ass teenagers to understand that sales dont mean shit?

    92. Awesome album, Gonna be one of the best albums of the year, Its gonna be hard for the Carter 4 to top it, I hear alot of people dont like Game name dropping, I personally dont mind it lol, Shits funny haha

    93. Hip Hop DX has OD Game bias. Lol as I’m speaking his ad is on the site and he’s always has a top page article on deck. The fact that he got way more guests on this album than WTT and Section.80 already disqualifies it. Then remember it’s Game. Game isnt any mind blowing lyricist or anything. So to give this WTT AND Section 80 a 4/5 idk. If this album is a 4 WTT and Section 80 are 5’s…..

    94. I actually liked this Album, this one is my Favorite Album from Game or probably equal to the Documentary at least.. Doctors advocate was cool I liked a few songs on that.. and I absolutely Hated LAX the only song on the whole thing I liked was the dope ass intro.. but this Red album is better than both of those to me.. I’d give it a good 4 stars and I like it a LOT more than watch the throne bs

    95. Can’t wait to hear the album, waiting till it’s officially released tm.
      I gotta point out that I doubt most of the 186 ppl that voted so far have actually listened to the whole album already. Game’s gonna earn a lot of 1s and 5s just because he’s a polarizing figure.

    96. The 4 review is nonsense. I really was skeptical with the illness of purp and patron and candy cororas, that this might come weak. It did about 70% of the time. Some dope tracks, but dudes all over the place, intro from dre got u thinking this bout to be some deep street shit where game is at his best.then he gets wrecked by kendrick on the opening track, game was ok wouldve been hard if he didnt put himself on that pedastool. from there, RED is all over the place, some features cotton candy his shit, others are downright strange (martian and a goblin) whose album is this?how is this different from his mixtapes? dude tried way to hard to be everything to everyone and now really has no identity. Reference Tech N9ne’s 6’s & 7’s, is it ever a question who is beastin? Whose shit this is? What tech is about?

    97. decent album. this is what the hhdx review couldn’t say…

      http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2011/08/the_game_the_red_album_review.php

      basically game could never come correct and the label was tired of pushing an album they already had wasted grip of money on…so they cut ties and this is what we’re left with. Makes perfect sense to me. C’mon how many leaked/failed singles? (Krazy, Big Money, It Must be Me, Aint no doubt about it, Pushin’ It, I’m the King). Even his new singles, RED Nation and Pot of Gold didn’t really stick. He’s gonna sell regardless, but point is don’t be fooled by the hype!

      1. how’s the weather in bizarro world??? this…shit…is…not…gonna…sell. i had to say that extra slow so yall stupid niggas can get it through your thick skulls. most over hyped piece of shit ever…even worse than watch the throne…hell it’s 10 times worse than watch the throne.

    98. As I begin typing this comment, the final Dr. Dre Outro just went off, I listened to the album all the way through. It’s a pretty dope album, he’s on point lyrically, and his subject matter is great. It’s not the classic he made it out to be, but it’s a good album, a couple skippable tracks on there no lie, but some definite bangers too. So yeah it’s a 4/5 for me.

      Standout Tracks: The City, Good Girl Gone Bad, Mama Knows, Hello, Ricky, California Dream

    99. The Game’s R.E.D. Album arrives, limping and bloodied, in stores this week. The culmination of three years of development, innumerable push-backs, and a humiliating trail of failed first singles, the occasion of its release feels less a victory lap than a death spasm; Interscope Records has finally given up and decided to cut its losses. The remaining crowd of message-board lurkers can now click “download” on the .rar file and move on with their lives. And Game now owes his record label an unimaginable amount of money: the “R.E.D.” in the album’s title might stand for deficit-column ink.

      Indeed, The R.E.D. Album might go down in history as the costliest losing battle a rapper has ever waged against his own irrelevance. Game’s albums have always been community affairs, and The R.E.D. Album is no exception: the guest roster this time is the most crowded ever. But no amount of shared pushing can get the doomed project off the ground, and hearing a murderer’s row of collaborators—including Drake, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Big Boi, Young Jeezy, Beanie Sigel, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, The Creator and even Dr. Dre—step up and pitch their talents into the void over the album’s interminable 21-track expanse is one of the year’s most dispiriting experiences.

      The all-consuming vacuum at the center of The R.E.D. Album is Game himself. Once upon a time, he could be counted on for simple pleasures—a gruff voice, a doggedly plowing delivery, a satisfying way with West Coast gangsta boilerplate. His embarrassing, clumsy namedropping, shrill neediness, and arm’s-length relationship to reality were lamentable, but mostly ignorable. Since then, however, he has pulled some basic coherence muscle, and now everything he bellows is irredeemably goofy. Even the minor pretext that used to link his pointless name-drops has evaporated, so now we get lyrics like: “I click-clack at you and fuck with your conscience like backpackers do/But I ain’t Talib Kweli, Black Thought or Mos Def/ But I see the most deaths.” Or: “Wayne just came home, and T.I.P. back on the yard, dog/ Guess Pujols ain’t the only one playing hardball.”

      Worse, he has exaggerated his tendency to mimic the rappers he surrounds himself with: on “Paramedics,” he alters not just his flow and cadence but also the tone and grain of his voice to uncannily resemble guest Young Jeezy. Why would anyone do this? He does it again on “Speakers on Blast,” high-stepping his vowels and clipping his consonants neatly like Big Boi, who shows up later in the song to gripe ironically about style biters. On “Martians vs. Goblins,” he grouses like an angry teenager next to Tyler, the Creator. On “All The Way Gone,” Game even deigns to ape Wale’s flow. For his part, Wale seems so flattered by the experience that he delivers his first truly lively verse in an eon.

      The production, meanwhile, consists of a bunch of region-less, facelessly competent Any Bangers that could have plausibly made it onto any B-level hip-hop album of the last six years. A few could have been something—the huge, clattering horn loop “Ricky”; the wailing soul beat of “Good Girls Go Bad”—but alas, they are on a Game album, where relentlessly shopped-around tracks go to die. Game has long been praised for his shrewd ear for production, but when you have no idea what to do with any of it, the riches around you cease to have meaning.

      Three songs on The R.E.D. Album hit their mark. On DJ Premier’s “Born In The Trap” and the Pharrell-produced “Mama Knows,” Game keeps his head down, stays in the pocket, and simply raps hard and on-beat for the duration. It works. On the DJ Khalil cut “Drug Test” (co-produced and buffed to sheen by Dr. Dre), he rattles off a catchy sing-song verse that gets caught like gum in the song’s grinding gears. It reminds you of the strengths that got him signed to Aftermath to begin with: ferocious commitment, a palpable love of hip-hop, a great voice. When there is a firm hand reining him in, Game can still make good rap music. Left to his own devices, however, he produces a dismaying mess. This might explain why Game has carried the torch for Dre so desperately since his exile to Geffen in 2006; the man needs someone to save him from himself.

    100. I LISTENED TO THE WHOLE ALBUM AN IN MY OPINON LAX WAS BETTER THAN THIS….GAME MADE HIS FANS WAIT HELLA YEARS FOR THIS TO ME THE ALBUM WAS KINDA A DISAPPOINMENT….THERE’S NOT THAT HEAT ON HERE LIKE HE’S PAST MIXTAPES BREAK LIGHTS,RED ROOM,PURP & PATRON NOW THOSE ARE CLASSICS THIS ALBUM IS NO WHERE NEAR CLASSIC NOT TO MENTION THERE’S ALOT OF SKIP OVER SONGS ON THE ALBUM…THERE ARE NO MEMBERS FROM HIS LABEL BWS HARDLY NO WEST COAST RAPPERS ON HERE…THE ALBUM TO ME IS NOT AN 4 OR 5 MAYBE MORE LIKE AN 3 AND AN HALF…I’M HATING KOS GAME DOES HIS THANG BUT THIS ALBUM WASN’T HIS BEST WORK…HE COULD OF CAME WAY BETTER THAN THIS WHAT HAPPENED TOTHE OLD GAME BRING THAT WEST COAST HUNGER BACK…. THE TRACK WITH DRAKE WAS ANNOYING IT’S ALREADY BAD ENOUGH DRAKE IS GARBAGE BUT DAMN HIM RAPPING IS ANNOYING TO THE EARS, WALE I DON’T CARE FOR HIM THAN GAME WENT POP RAPPER WITH ALL THESE SOFT ASS TRACKS WITH SHITTY BEATS…I THINK HE DIDN’T CARE WHAT HE PUT ON THE ALBUM LONG AS IT WAS DONE BECAUSE THIS IS HIS LAST ALBUM FOR THE LABEL…WORD OF ADVICE TO GAME WHEN YOU DROP ANOTHER ALBUM DROP IT WITH YOUR OLD HOOD,WEST COAST,GANGSTA STYLE

    101. this album sucks ass 2 years making this shit pathetic!!..only two good songs out of like 20!! (the city, the good the bad the ugly)…ALLL THAT HYPE FOR THIS ALBUM..fucken horrible…am still FAN BUT I JUST CANT GET JIGGY WITH THIS SHIT MAN!!!

    102. 1. Dr. Dre Intro — This shit was mad unnecessary b.

      2. The City (ft. Kendrick Lamar) — This shit is jus way too dramatic yo. Son sounds like he was listenin to Nasâ€(TM)s One Mic for like a month straight before he went into the booth to spit this shit son. The nigga sounds like he swallowed Crooked I or Royce Da 5â€(TM)9 or some shit. Not sure which one…but I swear he usin another niggas flow tho. Then the nigga got the nerve to say he Top 5 dead or alive. Son…. Niggas laugh at Jadakiss for sayin shit like that….n that nigga could actually spit at one point namsayin. But he aint done makin ridiculous claims son. Its like he tryin to test a niggas patience when he says some shit bout bein the black Slim Shady. But then son starts to REALLY lose his composure n says he â€oethe best the West ever seen, no disrespect to Calvin”. Best what nigga? Son….you disrespectin a whole lot more niggas than jus Calvin nahmean. I wont go thru the WHOLE list son…but summa the niggas Im talmbout got names you mighta heard before…like Oshea n TUPAC….maybe even ANDRE. But thats a whole nother topic namsayin. Not to mention that the nigga doin the hook…who also hails from the West… ends the song by completely bodyin the beat. Im sayin the beat actually hid from the nigga n jus disappeared while son was spittin. So after all ya talk bout bein top 5 n bein the black Eminem you gon jus let Kendrick rape you on the track son? If I was you Jayceon…I woulda been told the nigga to get the fuck out the studio and dont come back til he could mediocre his shit up a little.

      3. Drug Test (ft. Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg & Sly) — Speak of the devil yo…the OTHER best niggas the West ever produced….This joint been out for a minute yo. Matter fact I think its the latest single. Thing is yo…I dont kno how you get Dre n Snoop on a joint wit you n the shit barely makes a peep on the radio or in clubs namsayin. Imma tell you why tho. Cos the shit is mediocre as fuck b. When you got the two niggas who made G-Thang n Next Episode n Still D.R.E. on a joint wit you…you cant be droppin no filler that sounds like some shit Timbaland was snappin his neck(s) n splashin his fruit punch all over the studio to durin the Black Album sessions son.

      4. Martians Vs Goblins (ft. Tyler The Creator & Lil Wayne) — Heres the thing bout this nigga son. When he go into another nigga chamber he go straight to jockin that nigga shit. Its been that way since day 1 tho nahmean. He was doin joints wit 50 Cent…he sounded like Fif. He did a joint wit Eminem…son got his Slim Shady on all over that muthafucka. He do joints wit Nas…he all a sudden spittin like Nas. He do a joint wit Rae…he soundin like Rae. Im sayin this nigga never bring his own identity to the table. So when he decides to start surfin the Tyler wave…you already kno what this nigga gon be doin namsayin. Then he throws Lil Weezy-Ana on this shit n we spose to have some mindblowin shit happenin here I guess. Son talmbout slurpin on Erykah Badu box n pokin Bron Bronâ€(TM)s moms n shit. All that shit is whatever but this nigga said â€oewhen Im wit my uncle…fuck it…then Im a Crip too” which lets you kno how serious he is bout this Blood life. I cant fuck wit this shit tho.

      5. Red Nation (ft. Lil Wayne) — This joints probably the only shit so far that I feel like listenin to again. Its been out for a minute so I actually heard this a couple times already nahmean. But at least the nigga jus stayin in his lane doin his own thing here. Yeah he droppin names like a fuckin prison snitch all over this muthafucka….I mean the first verse sounds like â€oeIm so____ like____mixed wit____. I kno____…whattup to_____, _______ , n _______!” ….but I fucks wit it.

      6. Dr. Dre 1 — yawn….

      7. Good Girls Go Bad (ft. Drake) — Say you a nigga who happened to make some pretty suspect choices throughout ya life…like bein a hood Chippendale dancer n gettin butterflies n stars tatted on ya face n cryin durin interviews when nobody asked you nothin to get emotional bout….shit like that. Now lets say you wanna do a song wit a nigga who a lotta muthafuckas believe is like the livin embodiment of bein a suspect nigga. A nigga whose natural scent is pear. A nigga that practically bleeds syrup. A nigga whose own moms aint even realize was a boy n named the muthafucka Aubrey….say this is you. Do you really wanna go namin the joint you doin together â€oeGood Girls Go Bad” b? Anyway this joint aint bad. Drizzy on his â€oeblah blah blah guuuuurrl” shit again n droppin heatrocks like â€oeI love ya ass like the Ninja Turtles love pizza”. Game on his namedroppin shit. Im sayin tho….son mentioned jus Kanye alone three times b. Anyway I fucks wit it.

      8. Ricky — This shit named after the nigga in Boyz N The Hood who wasnt Ice Cube or Cuba Gooding Jr. Rite off the bat I wanna say that the nigga DJ Khalil laced this muthafuckin beat wit steroids yo. This shit sound like gorillas beatin they chests wit sledge hammers b. This shit sound like its rainin watermelons in the studio. Theres broads screamin n lightning bolts shootin outta shit n violins n elephants stampedin on this muthafucka n whatever… The nigga Game aint really sayin nobody names either so I got give him some dap for that too. Word. I fucks wit it.

      9. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly — Thought it was Dre rhymin on this shit at first yo. If I was bein generous Id say this shit was aight nahmean. But on the real….I dont really give a fuck bout this song son.

      10. Heavy Artillery (ft. Rick Ross & Beanie Sigel) — This shit is ill. The beat is tough as fuck nahmean. Ricky Rozay goes first n spits some hardbody darts rite out the gate. Next Game comes in n drops one a his better 16s n manages to keep niggas names out his mouth for 75% of the verse. Then the Broad Street Bully comes in n bodies this shit. I fucks wit it.

      11. Paramedics (ft. Young Jeezy) — I swear I couldnt even tell if Game was even on this shit at first b. I had to listen to it twice yo. This nigga mussa been garglin sand before Jeezy got to the studio to get his voice to sound extra raspy tho nahmean. This shit was jus mad awkward g. Wonder how Jeezy felt bout that shit when he heard it yo. Somebody need to explain to this nigga that you aint gotta go outta ya way to impersonate the nigga you doin the song wit tho b. This shit was fucked up son. Snowman did his thing tho. I kinda fucks wit it….not really tho.

      12. Speakers On Blast (ft. E-40 & Big Boi) — N here we go again wit that bullshit. Son channelin his inner 3 Stacks on this shit like he tryna impress Big Boi. The hook is some ATLiens shit too. This startin to remind me a some Single White Female shit tho. Stop it 5. I pressed skipped before I heard the 40 Fonzarelli bars…so I cant really comment on that yo.

      13. Hello (ft. Lloyd) — First off I jus wanna say that I dont fuck wit no Lloyd son. Justin Bieber got a more masculine voice than this nigga here namsayin. N Lloyd a grown man b. Drake at his most effeminate state possible…walkin round his garden singin duets wit canaries n strokin kittens….cant even sound this bitchmade son. If a baby flamingo opened its mouth to say whattup to me I would expect that muthafucka to sound jus like this nigga Lloyd b. If vaginas could sing they would probably sound EXACTLY like this nigga Lloyd yo. Even El Debarge be sayin this niggas shit is too soft nahmean. Son aint got one molecule of bass in his voice whatsoever namsayin. The shit is jus creepy my nigga. The joint itself is jus way too got damn silky yo. I can almost see the dandelions gettin blown around in the studio when niggas was recordin this shit b. How many Nuvo body shots did these niggas do off each other before they came up wit this shit son? Get this shit the fuck outta here yo.

      14. All The Way Gone (ft. Mario & Wale) — Guess this spose to be the part of the album where all the panty droppin starts…cos this joint is almost as corny as the last one b. Only thing that keeps it from bein more ass than the Hello joint is the nigga Mario aint sound bitchmade like Lloyd. The nigga Wale on this shit too. Yall probably remember him as Future from 8 Mile. Anyways…skip.

      15. Pot Of Gold (ft. Chris Brown) — This shit rite here is exactly what you would expect from the two most emotional n mentally unstable niggas in the game….some melodramatic boo hoo shit wit Breezy singin bout not dancin on rainbows no more or whatever n Game threatenin to quit rap after two more albums (he actually said that after the first two albums son…n promised he was done after the third…but whatever yo). This was actually the first official single after the other first official singles he dropped last year. I cant even tell you how much I dont fucks wit this shit tho son.

      16. Dr Dre 2 — Seriously…is this shit even necessary b?

      17. All I Know (ft. Lu Breeze) — Son…I almost aint even make it past the suspect ass intro. This shit obviously reminds me a litttle of Jiggaâ€(TM)s All I Need….not in a good way tho. I dont hate this joint but probably aint no way Im gon ever skip to #17 n try n hear this shit again on purpose.

      18. Born In The Trap — DJ PREMIER-P-P-P-Premiere did this shit! BUT…let me clarify yo. This aint the Preemo that did the beats for 5 classic Gang Starr albums n had probably the best joints on Reasonable Doubt, Illmatic n Ready To Die son….this is the Premier that cant get beats placed on Jay or Nas albums no more n been gettin shitted on by Kanye for the past 5 years. Niggas use to be like â€oePREEM LEMME GET A BEAT PLEASE YO!!! I GOT YA 30 Gs RITE HERE SON”. Now niggas is like â€oeShit…that nigga Preemo sendin me links to his SoundCloud again….”. I love that nigga Preem tho. Thats my heart. N this joint is still A LOT better than the bullshit we been hearin over the last 6 or 7 tracks b. I fucks wit it.

      19. Mama Knows (ft. Nelly Furtado) — He got my babyâ€(TM)s mama Nelly Furtado on this joint…so props for that shit b. Anyways yo…theres three different Pharrells son. There the nigga that did Grindin n Hell Hath No Fury n Blue Magic n whatever. Aka the nigga that dont give a fuck bout melodies n song hooks n jus hits you wit that raw shit. Then theres the bongo happy Pharrell who had all those hits in the 00s wit pretty much eybody that was in the music industry at that time nahmean. Then theres the Pharrell that conned Jay into thinkin Allure was the shit that shoulda been playin at the end a Carlitoâ€(TM)s Way….the nigga that makes those Nyquil joints that make you feel like you wanna call it a day at 11am. The Pharrell that made this shit aint the first two. Ayo Skateboard P…son gets ya logo tatted on hisself n started dressin like you n THIS is all you came up wit for this nigga? This shit aint grimey OR catchy son. This shit is the snooze button that lets you kno you can go back to sleep for a couple minutes. Dont listen to this shit when you behind the wheel b. Fair warning.

      20. California Dream — Guess you can wake back up now! This beat kinda fly rite here….I think I fucks wit….oh wait. Hold up a minute…..oh wait this nigga tellin you the whole damn story bout when another one a his kids was born b. Son. You been done this shit already. This shit wont ever be my favorite joint on the album. But I guess I fucks wit it.

      21. Dr Dre Outro — This shit jus sounds stupid comin in at the end son. I feel like Im spose to be turnin the shit over to listen to the other side. Sounds like a damn intro….Anyways son basically took 2 minutes of Dre speakin on him n split it up into 4 tracks on his album. Cant respect that type of Stannin b.

      Overall Imma give this shit 2.5 Zeus slaps outta 5. After he got off to a bullshit start I thought he was gettin on a roll there for a minute…but then he jus started drownin in a ocean of estrogen n teardrops. Its like the album had a change a heart son. I cant really fuck wit none a that shit par. Thats all I got for yall niggas.

      Aight peace!!!

      1. nigga get a life no 1 is reading this shit. game is boss period just give credit where its due u dick riding asshole. im tired of these pussy tendencied from bitch niggars

    106. Awesome Album, It is alot better than L.a.x, I listened to the whole album twice, it starts off well and drops off a little bit towards them soft songs, but then picks straight back up, I’m happy i waited 2 years for this, Its worth the wait, Its alot better than watch the throne, Tha Carter iv comes out next week and its gonna have to be very good in order to beat this. 5 out of 5 🙂

      1. Wow, you just said the album gets shitty for part of it but still give it a 5 out of 5? It’s sad that kids don’t really know what a classic album is these days.

    107. First half was good…It followed 50 Cent’s formula for albums lately perfectly. Hard tracks for the first half and very emotional love songs for the second half. Don’t know what album this review is for?

    108. I think it’s safe to say that anybody that’s trying to start a rap career or use their facebook profile to get hits on here is gonna give the album a 4-5 out of 5. Does anybody have their own opinion anymore?

    109. Take out the odd weak tracks like All The Way Gone & Drug Test and it would have been brilliant. This Is easily the best I have ever heard Game rhyme, his best album yet.

    110. This album is fuckin fire!!!

      honestly, i really doubted Game after a series of really shitty releases in 2010 (shake, pussy fight, aint no doubt about it) but then the Purp and Patron mixtape was pretty dope (The Kill put me back on to Game) and then this…well this is a damn good album.

      The City is definitely my favorite track. Kendricks acapella at the end was pretty amazing. Game came with it too. Drug Test has some really nice flows, but Snoops verse was too short, although it was good.

      That Tyler the Creator line that DX quoted killed me! Especially when Game said “Fuck you tyler”. Toooo funny!

      Theres really not a not listenable song on this album. I personally don’t like Hello, but thats cuz it’s just not for me.

      I think the All the Way Gone hook coulda been a little bigger, but i still think it could be a hit.

      I don’t think this album is a classic, but 4.5 is close enough, so imma give it a 5

    111. i also think the is the best album of 2011…and i think it’ll end up being the best, depending on how Cole’s album shapes up, which has been my most anticipated album for a bit now

      1. Have You Heard section 80 by kendrick lamar and follow me home by jay rock???THEY ARE perfectly comparable to red and section 80 maybe better too this red album ain’t got nuthin great

      2. Ganja 32, when I say that RED album aint fucking with Kendrick, that means Section 80 is better. Not sure how you confused that.

    112. To the Jay-z dickriders: WTT is not even among the top 10 best rap albums of 2011….Continue deceiving yourself !

      1. You’re a fucking moron! You know that? “Great album”‘s is not 5/5.. that’s a classic, stop misusing the classic status.. this album is far from classic. 3,5 / 5.. but yeah, great album, nothing more, nothing less.

    113. its like a GAMElove fest on this bitch..fucouttahere..this dude on the same shit he always been on..im a blood..blood..fuc jay..fuc anybody..insert niggas name..say biggie..what the fuc r yall listenin too..the beats decent..but..thats where it stops..dude has no personality on the mic..and s/o to all the nigz thats callin this “hit snooze button” ass album a classic..anything but WTT huh..just anything huh..fucouttahere

    114. umm..nice beats..but who is dude..can anybody tell me that..(LIke missy..while u all up n my grill)yeh..album of the yr..lololol..this dude sound like everybody on his album..whatever track..yall opinions have been downgraded to weak

    115. the city
      drug test
      good girls go bad
      ricky
      the good, the bad, the ugly
      california dreams
      mama knows (take out the nelly hook)
      martians vs gobline

      8 sik tracks on this lp

      4/5

    116. I’m more of the Nicki Minaj style hip-hop fan but this album is the best hip-hop offering I’ve heard in a while, 5 stars.

      Best songs are The City, Drug Test, Martians Vs. Goblins, Good Girls Gone Bad, Heavy Artillery, Paramedic and Basic Bitch

    117. i Have just bought the RED album and I’m a lil bit disappointed cause it ain’t what i thought….I think that a mix of songs from brake light,purp & patron and from hoodmorning could be better than the album….EVEN ALL THIS THING….GO GAMEEE GO GAME GO GAME

      1. An now you feel dumb as fuck for wasting that weed money on this album when you could of just got it for free off the internet, you should of went with that inner voice telling you not to buy it but bootleg it….It’s funny how many fans feel this album wasn’t worth the wait I’m truly glad I didn’t pay for it the shit got dubbed just like all the other CD’s I own that way if its lame I’m not out of money just an CD or two

    118. 3/5. too many filler r & b tracks, paramedics is weak, Drake isn’t even recognizable, Wayne on back to back tracks is not good, and Dre’s narration is a waste. Production in comparison to the last 3 records is a huge difference, not even in the same ballpark. Still some solid records, but album is way too long. Gza’s said make the shit half as long and twice as strong. If Game did that, I’d agree with hiphopdx’s rating.

    119. Actually a good listen…. I give it 4/5. It has lot of features but the quality of the music is top notch. He plays with different flows and actually has some subject matter other than gangbanging(check “ricky”) Overall good album i was surprised.

    120. The album is wack.. i agree the mixtapes sounds better…hoodmorning was dope but the album only gets 1 from me because of the guests…

      1. I been trying to tell people this album is not Game best shit he put out & to be honest the album isn’t no where near classic or pose any heat….In my opinon a few tracks keep this album from being completely side of the curb garbage…An like I stated before all the mixtapes he did before releasing this album are shitting on this poor production it’ll get play from me but this damn sho isn’t an classic let its not going to hit platinium either no hating just being honest Game could of,should of, would of came better on this if he wasn’t pressured by the label

    121. I liked LAX better. I feel like Game tried too hard. He shouldn’t say this is the best album of the year.

    122. Yo Album was close to a classic. That song with Kendrick, Dre’s got a banger on there, that DJ Premier joint.. definitely worth my 12 bucks

      1. Dre’s got a banger on there? Dre’s got a song that sounds like it was lifted off of an LL Cool J album in 1999…that shit was awful

    123. I just will never like this nigga…NEVER…period. Nigga always got a picture with a gun pointed to his head ready to blow his noodles all over the pavement. Suicidal nigga. He’s a bad influence. His raps SUCK dee-eye-cee-kay. Nigga tries too hard…Fucking R.E.D. Album…more like S.H.I.T. Album

    124. ricky by dj khalil is the best record he did since he started his career …his mainstream career …what a classic..even the song for chicks sound goood & are not generic like roll up…album crazy

    125. hoodmourning>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>red

      1. I’ll agree the production on this album is weak, the lyrics were there but some of the beats were to shitty to even support em there’s alot of songs that are going to be skipped over, honestly this album was an waste of the fans time awaiting for it to drop there’s nothing special about it at all I rate it an 3.5 at its best…The album was an disappointment to menot to mention all his mixtapes up to the release of this album was way better he Game shitted on his own album release with the classic mixtapes Break Lights, Red Room, Purp & Patron this album is no where as good or classis status as those mixtapes damn shame I’m glad there was no money lost out my pocket on getting the R.E.D. album, I bootlegged it like every other smart person would of it was worth my blank cd tho…Game come harder on your next album because this one is missing that west Coast style we came to know you for real talk

    126. Game is always going to have his fan base. He puts more into his music than most of these rappers today. Knows how to rap live. His fans will buy this album like they bought LAX. And this trend of fans commenting on album sales is disgusting. Comment on the music and shut the fuck up.

      The City
      Drug Test
      Martians Vs Goblins
      Red Nation
      Ricky
      The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
      Heavy Artillery
      Paramedics
      Speakers on Blast
      Born in the Trap
      Mama Knows
      California Dream

      12 dope songs. I didn’t mind the radio joints either. Game needs to have a new nickname, the chameleon. I personally think it’s cool how he can mimic elements of other rappers style and make it his. That’s how the best learned how to rap. Copying their favorite rappers. Game is one of the few mainstream artists today real hip hop babies fuck with. Nice album.

      1. 12 dope songs? Mine came with 21 songs/skits…so that’s about 1/2 a good album, even by someone who likes it…never mind the fact that 8 of the 12 songs you called dope are in fact unbearable…

    127. THURZ LA-RIOT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>R.E.D
      JAY-ROCK-Follow Me Home>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>R.E.D

      WAKE THE FUCK UP CALI

    128. So I guess every name-dropping bum ass nigga that drops an album gets 5 nowadays??? So i guess the actual quality of the music don’t matter anymore, because there are a million stans/dickriders who will get on these kinds of site and exagerate the album rating just to blow their favorite artist. There’s only one word to describe this kind of behavior…PATHETIC.

      1. yeah thats true a 5 is just as good as a 1 on this website you have to use your own judgement this site is just for talking shit and taking sides they say a song or album is a classic and they cant say why lmao

    129. kingChronic in this bitch… best album period… m proud of game and da 500bars was da red carpet for game to walk on to platinum status

    130. this album is a 3.5 you cant call this a classic what classic album can you compare this to track for track?

    131. Game is underrated as a rapper but this album is bullshit. It has that Carter 3 feel to it. This is a mixtape and his mixtapes are better than this!

      Only good songs are
      The City(Kendrick Lamar for the most part)
      Martians vs vs Goblins
      Red Nation
      Good Girls Go Bad
      Hello(really just Lloyd singing like aliyah)
      Pot of Gold(Kind of)

      1. hell no u dont know shit boy the only good songs on red are:

        ricky
        the city
        all i know
        pot of gold
        born in the trap
        good girls gone bad
        the good the bad the ugly
        speakers on blast
        mama knows
        california dream

    132. Albums better than a lot of garbage out today… but im waitin on Crooked’s Million Dollar Story.. thats an album aint noone gonna fuck with… believe that shit… COB!!!

    133. never in the history of hiphop has a rapper has had a pass for sounding like another rapper that shit just aint right who cant copy there favorite rappers flow thats what the fans do when they rap along with the song haha that takes NO SKILL at all but he get props for it lmao shit affion crocket and arie spears must be the best rappers alive then lmaoo

    134. An above average album, didn’t live up to my expectations. Way too many features, Game’s efforts to mimmick their flow just makes it worse. Production has moments, but nothing really special, let’s say its decent. Lyrically, well, maybe this is where the album is the closest to his predecessors, although thinking about the big picture its not good enough. Overall, this is a fair album that probably better than LAX, but it is still miles away from Doctors’ Advocate or The Documentary. I think commercially it won’t reach Gold level in US, or barely.

      My rating is: 3.5/5

      P.S.: Considering that who’s been working on this album in the previous 2 years, it have to be just a sugarfree version of the “original”, or should I say expected one. When I think about that, a dope album comes to my mind full of heavy beats from Dr. Dre / DJ Khalil, The Neptunes, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, J.R. Rotem, Cool & Dre, Nottz, Ervin Pope and a few others. Having a lot of features is alright, but know the limits and select them wisely. Bring those who can add something special to your album or who really fits to specific a song, not just who got buzz. And last but not least: be your ownself, dominate the album with your style and get your A-game whenever you can. If you a dope MC, have something to say to your fans, know how to make a structured and coherent album – then why you don’t do it … ?

      I feel like Game should concentrate to this, instead of talking trash for publicity stunt, taking bipolar moves from side-to-side and slowly destroying his career … and this comes from a Game fan.

    135. aint nobody bumpin pot of gold or red nation in LA we play a few tracks but niggas playin thurz album jay rock album hood mourning WTT and slain album gettin spins IN THE STREETS game album is ok but next to jay rock and thurz and slain nahh homie

    136. look at you haters the game is the only real rapper out there go and listen to stupid rappers that talk about money the game talks about his live hes been through fuck the haters im gnna cop the red album and support real hip hop!

      1. Only real rapper out there huh? so u know these muthufuckas person to person? shut up fake ass wannabe know it all

      2. for this to be “real hip-hop” first the rapper/MC has to be real and Game is not real. The Game used to get a pass, because he would aleast spit fire…Game hasn’t made any “fire” since L.A.X. PERIOD

      1. true they just scream out classic but what are the classic lyrics that he have? none.the beats are not even classic did he release any classic singles ?no

    137. You all are nothing but fkn haters. Do you think that game has a fan base with woman as well. This would be the reason for some Love songs. Like you people need to get real even 2pac had love songs. This album is a solid 5 just like any album he has released including Mixtapes and studio album

      1. You should be shot for comparing The Game to 2Pac…they aren’t even in the same gaxaly. If Pac was still alive we wouldn’t even know who Game is…he would still be stripping or flipping burgers.

    138. Yeah I got 2 gun charges, 2 felonies, just got off probation
      Today motherfucker, won’t budge for no charge
      Real nigga, I hold no grudge with no thugs
      Come through spraying, bullets out the McLaaren
      They ain’t meant for you, move bitch, you hard of hearing?
      I speed off doing 90 with Tha Carter blaring
      Bust shots in the Cavalier like I ball with Baron
      Yeah I Blake Griff niggas, make stiff niggas
      Eminem wasn’t Dr. Dre’s only sick nigga
      Insane in the membrane like Soul Assassins
      12 gauge stop a nigga heart like a bowl of Aspirin
      I hold automatics, let your man hold the casket
      Murder game cold as Aspen, body found in the trash bin
      First 48, they don’t find me, case closed
      Like a rehabilitation spot in Bobby Brown nose
      Take em back to Boyz in da Hood when I pull the pump out
      Something like C-Murder on Worldstar when I dump out/GAME

      You don’t even know what I’ve been through
      I play chicken with a Mack truck
      Y’all muthaf-ckers woulda been moved
      I swam waters with great whites
      Y’all muthaf-ckers woulda been chewed
      I hustle with vultures late nights
      Y’all muthaf-ckers woulda been food
      F-ck wrong with these dudes
      Try to walk around in these shoes
      See the shit I saw growing up
      And maybe you can take a peek at these boo’s
      N-ggas fantasize about the shit that I do daily like
      These rappers rap about all the shit that I do really
      I’m like really half a billi n-gga
      Really you got baby money
      Keep it real with n-ggas
      N-ggas aint got my lady money
      Watch the Throne dont step on our robe
      Bad enough we let you step on our glow
      When my nephew died, daddy dead
      N-ggas took the price on my uncles head
      Nobody called the cops as my uncle bled
      So I feel like I would like to know my uncles bread
      Bow down, brother pay homage
      Don’t spill hate all on my garments
      Commes Des Garcon, f-ck your fresh
      Head shots n-gga f-ck your vests
      F-ck the pig, no pork on my fork
      Peace God cause you know a n-gga just went Ham

      jay-z>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>GAME

    139. great fucking album !!!!!!!!, only main stream nigga going hard, why the others dropping commercial bullshit to save their career, Listen to song like Ricky,The city,born in the trap,good girl bad girl, all classic !!!!!!!!!!!! album of the year, 973 New new jersey all day

    140. There were 4 very dope records (The City, Ricky, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, and Born In The Trap), but everything else felt extremely average. With Documentary, I felt the guest features were carefully chosen (except for Tony Yayo). With R.E.D., they were as random and uninspired as you could get (why does Game mimic the voices and flows of most of the guest rappers?). This is Game’s weakest effort. 3/5.

    141. so what classic album this can go against track for track?no answer huh i know and nobody wants to display any of his incredible lyrics they just dick ride and scream classic without any reason state why its a classic and dont make a list of the same 5 songs so far to all the dickriders they can only name 5 songs but its a classic ALBUM hahaa

    142. Hatin Bitches and Hatin Bitch ass males be catchin feelings when Game shit on they favorite rappers with his remarks. This nigga album is straight Heat.

    143. 2011 people are stupid. they say wack shit is dope and dope shit is wack. reason being…since they can relate to wack shit they think its tight. they cant understand good shit cuz they dont have it in um. this shit is nice. not the best i heard from game but tuff ass west coast shit. get wit it or shut the front door..square ass niggas.

    144. stop downloading shit for free from an artist like this, get on iTunes and get the album. Love this shit, how the fuck jay-z and kanyes shit made it #1 is a mystery to me

      1. If its a mystery to you, you should stop listening to rap period. You clearly don’t know what the fuck you’re listening to.

    145. Aight the real review, song by song:

      1. Dre Intro – DELETE
      2. The City – Cool beat but ultimately fails as an album opener unlike on his other albums where he opens with a certified west side banger…pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the album…average
      3. Drug Test – utterly embarrassing to anyone who came up on Dre & Snoop…seriously pathetic…pretty much putting the nail in the coffin of one of the greats (Dre)…SAD
      4. Martians VS Goblins – Incredibly wack. DELETE
      5. Red Nation – FIRE…proof that he’s still got it
      6. Dr Dre Interlude I – Really? DELETE
      7. Good Girls Gone Bad – Cool beat…should’ve featured Ghostface and not a faggot…I won’t delete this probably just skip it
      8. Ricky – Solid…stands out on this album.
      9. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly – Decent beat though quite repetitive…Solid,yet unspectacular.
      10. Heavy Artillery – CERTIFIED BANGER. Sick beat. Sick guests.
      11. Paramedics – Good if you like Young Jeezy…I can’t tell the difference between the two of them…I will never listen to this again by choice
      12. Speakers on Blast – Outkast rip off…like BLATANT rip off…still kinda cool
      13. Hello – Some Summer’s Eve shit. DELETE
      14. All the Way Gone – Embarrassing. DELETE
      15. Pot of Gold – I won’t front I’m kinda feelin’ this shit…
      16. Dr Dre Interlude II – DELETE
      17. All I Know – DELETE TWICE
      18. Born in the Trap – Ill shit. Period.
      19. Mama Knows – Gay Neptunes beat with a Phagrell chorus? DELETE
      20. California Dreams – I guess he had a baby. DELETE.
      21. Dr Dre Outro – Delete

      21 tracks. A few bangers, a few ok songs and a lot of sewage glazed fluff. Not what I was hoping for from a guy who put out three straight ill albums. Considering I’ll never listen to 90% of this shit by choice – 1.5/5

      1. I co-sign this review. Game has NO identity or direction. He needs to stick with Premeire and get his shit together.

      2. smh red nation was wack!!! all i know was nice and california dream is similar to like father like son on the documentary, heavy artillery was iight rick ross sucks he aint sick what r u retarded, girls gone bad drake actually did his thing the good the bad the ugly is nice mama knows is alright the rest u were right about

    146. get off this nigga nuts.

      “At times on R.E.D. Game switches the sound of his voice, like on his solo track “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly” where he sounds like a gruff Dr. Dre mixed with Biggie. Could it be a personality switch or just a change in tone? Who knows.”

      i know. the game has no identity of his own. on the tyler track he sounds like tyler, on the jeezy track it was embarassing how he tried to imitate him. etc fuck game

    147. dope album but at at the same time kind of dissapointed. definatly not the best he put out. he worked on this for how long???
      if he stays true to his word his next and final album with interscope will be a lot better. when this dude tells stories and you can feel his emotion, he does it better than anyone, thats what he needs to do. i would of taken a few out and put some tracks in from purp and patron in instead. and btw drug test was soooooo dissapointing. WHAT THE F$@K HAPPENED TO DRE?!?!?!?!

      1. Game IS the westcoast.

        “The City”, “Drug Test”, “Born in the Trap” are all hardcore WESTCOAST tracks.

    148. The game WAS my favorite rapper, but latley he has been acting like he straight don’t give a fuck no more, and this album shows it, its VERY mediocre, I was expecting more than this, I was very disappointed. It is NOT a Classic, but to each his own, we all have our own tastes in music.

    149. Ya’ll niggas been hatin since The Documentary. You ain’t stop homie then, you ain’t stoppin homie now. Hate em or not, you still got his name in yo mouth. Shit was one of the greatest. Keep hatin on that nigga Game. When they stop hatin is when U should be worried.

      @TeronTheDon

    150. LAX came much harder in my opinion..right from the get go, LAX came hard with 6 straight fire tracks, this one was slow to pick up but it still has some decent tracks..I would say 6 good ones. but it has 21 with a couple of skits..and like i said LAX came hard right out of the gate with 6 strong tracks..WTT was much better then this, but hey im a supporter of game..and I copped his album..but he could of came much harder.

    151. i like how he let jeezy get a solo track on the album that was fire this album better than illmatic and doggystle put together go cop red its a hiphopdx classic

    152. Where in tha fuck do you think this album is an “Instant Classic” from. You dudes need to stop riding GAME’s dick. The only bangin track on there was “Drug Test” apart from the auto-tune shit. Bottom line dont kid yourself this album is FLOP!!!!

    153. This album was really good, i was suprised, even the so called chick songs were great.

      Ricky and Momma Knows Best are probably two of the best hip hop tracks i have heard in years.

      Say what you want about this guy, but he delievers when it comes to releasing album

      Game probably has be very fortunate he got kicked out of G-unit, because he would never be able to reach the sucess and respect he has gotten over the years if he was still with those guys, G-unit is pretty much dead and Game is still killing it.

      Gotta give man props for that,he got kicked to the curb and responded better than most people can, that says alot about a man and Game is definetley on his way to legendary status after this album.

      1. G-Unit won’t come back any time soon. But game as a person is one of the most hypocritical ppl I’ve heard of from talking shit about 50 to saying he wanna G-Unit Reunion LMFAO. If he never would’ove ran his mouth, he would’ove been the most sucessful rapper in G-Unit’s group going WAYY past what Banks is doing fan wise and billboards wise (Banks is a monster though, but very underrated). Honestly, if he was still signed with G-Unit and cool with 50, we would hear guys like Drake and YMCM less then how we do now unfortunately. I thought that since he left Unit he’d fall off but he didn’t and he proved me wrong but if he would’ove still been signed to G-Unit, he’d be tearing it up so hard in billboards guarenteed.

      1. yeah i dont think he was a main writer on the songs and some of them he dosent get any writers credit just performer credit like the song with jim jones no writing credit just performer ascap dont lie you know they gonna take this link down quick fast lol

    154. LAX sucked so hard. This has literally got to be Games best album since the Doc weather 50 wrote 1/2 that album or not. Too many people are hating this guy Game b/c yea he talks more shit then 50, he tries to shit on Jay Z in Otis yet in one track he calls him one of the best rappers, he’s a fucking phycotic shit talkin mother fucker we get it. He’s a shit talkin mother fucker WHO STILL HAS TALENT. Granted, The City set the tone for the album that wasn’t more of a hard west coast type instrumental, he was still GOOD; as if right now, if Watch The Throne was not out, he’d have the best rap album to date until J. Cole puts a run for his money. Most of you retards on hiphopDX hate Game b/c he a hypocrite and thats fine i agree too, but DONT SHIT ON HIM BECAUSE YOU DONT LIKE HIM. This album was a legimately solid to really good album.

      BTW: West Coast hiphop will be lead by Kendrick Lamar, his bang to mainstream will be the biggest bang since GRDT.

      1. LAX was ill as fuck wat r u saying… this album on a good day as good as the documentary.. this album aint great, its good, just not like his besat shit alive… LAX sucked hard, smh, LAX was ill as fuck

    155. Game is a natural born killer when it comes to putting together unique, HARD beats and ryhmes that flow like waaatahhhh(BRUCE LEE VOICE)!! Game is top billing when it comes to this rap shit folks! The only other lyricist that has just as much liquid skills and maybe can edge Game out is EMINEM! You haterz can hate all you want but at the end of tha fucking day—>The RED album was put together very well with mad-tight, banging beats and coherent storytelling with above par guests. Game is in my top 3 “living” MCs(NAS,EMINEM are the other 2) and in no particular order unless you categorize them based on what they actually rap about. THIS ALBUM GETS A STRONG AND JUSTIFIED 9.5 ON THE 10 SCALE AND 4.75 ON THE 5 MIC SCALE. THE MORE I LISTEN TO IT, THE MORE IM COMPELLED TO GIVE IT A 10 AND 5 MICS!! GET IT GAME!!

      P.S. WHEN DR. DRE IS AFFILIATED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM WITH A PROJECT YOU CAN BET YOUR SMALL BALLS THAT IT’S NOTHING LESS THAN SUN SURFACE HOT! WINK!

      1. Game and Eminem are two different types of lyricists. He also isn’t a top MC; theres a difference in the context between rapper and pure MC.

        -I agree with you about Dre though he makes an album hot BUT that song with Snoop Dogg and Dre was weak it sounded like a “put me over” song in a sense that its there b/c of Dre.. West Coast hiphop.. yea.

    156. LOL@ the haters voting it down just to fuck the rating up when they probably didnt even listen to it

      “Fuck Game, he dissed Jay-Z, I’ll Show him, 1 Star for you NUCCA!!!!!”

      SMH…… Only 2 ways I can justify voting this album less then a 4

      1. You have somekind of Morbid Jay-Z obsession

      2. Your under 21 and are a fan of this new “Faggot Rap” sub-genre that seems to be all over the place

    157. The game was the only rapper whose second album was better then the first one and his third was better then his second. Every album just kept on get actually getting better. Don’t get me wrong, all of his first three albums are classics. So I buy the red album thinking its going to be the best album game has made, but I was really really dissapointed. I should have known not to buy it as soon as I saw who all the features were. Especially the two faggots drake and lil gayne.I mean honestly, if game is such a gangster, why in the fuck is he doing a song with drake. His first three albums had like no features and that’s what made them good. This album should have never been made. I’m from cali and I’m embarressed with this album. Out of 21 tracks only like 5 are decent, the other songs are considered song that only soulja boy fans would like. I’m going to try and return this album back so I can get my money back and buy the new krayzie bone album when it comes out.

      1. Are you smoking crack? “second album better than the first?” sorry jack, nothing he has done or ever will do will touch the documentary…

      2. ur a fucking idiot , lax was his best an da was his 2nd best? after reading that i could tell how ignorant u are. go off yourself.

    158. fuckkkk all u haters if u dont like the album then go listen to that wack ass watch the throne BS R.E.D. Album all day

    159. stop bringing up old albums like LAX nd shit this is 2011 nd by far no album release within two months is fucking with it except Royce Da 5’9″ Success is Certain

      1. WHY? red gonna flop WTT going plat and the tour didnt even start yet how many fans waiting on the red tour?so he can perform 4 songs the rest has features what he gonna do oh just jack the flows of the features then it can be a one man show lol

    160. and of course the album might not sell as well bcuz u rodents of the earth r not buying albums nemore so dont talk grime

    161. i must give it to u Game ur album is better than ours nd we heard the Otis (Freestyle) we really were considering puttin u on the original after u dismantle it by urself

    162. honestly, i have bought all of games old albums, have most of his mixtapes, but after listing to the album i am disappointed

      1. ricky, good bad ugly, red nation are great, but i agree. Overall from start to finish some of his mixtapes are better. The harder tracks are fairly good, but the 4 or so pop rap tracks dont really work on his album.

    163. by far the best album sof ar this year, all the songs are crazy. Speakers on blast, paramedics, ricky, good bad ugly, good girls gone bad, pot of gold, red nation, heavy artillery…fucking classic!!!!!!

    164. the city, the city ,the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city…..shit this boy does hard thats hiphop ryt there, damn….he got balls..most rapers dnt…. 5/5

      1. Spot on with this comment…. I literally can’t listen to the last like 8 tracks -pot of gold. It’s all slow sappy singing bs. The album falls off hard after the halfway point

      1. This album by far is his best work to date. We forget, he has some of the best underground mixtapes and turns around and give us what has to be the best album of the year. It’s rare in this day in age that you hear one of the so called elite rappers spit something that you have rewind. This album is full of that type of stuff. I understand that some of you tight as pants wearing ni@@a$ aren’t trying to hear some real shit for a change. He is one of purest rappers we have in the mainstream. We should go out and support dude. You can hear dudes heart in this album.

    165. Aight the real review, song by song:

      1. Dre Intro – DELETE
      2. The City – Cool beat but ultimately fails as an album opener unlike on his other albums where he opens with a certified west side banger…pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the album…average
      3. Drug Test – utterly embarrassing to anyone who came up on Dre & Snoop…seriously pathetic…pretty much putting the nail in the coffin of one of the greats (Dre)…SAD
      4. Martians VS Goblins – Incredibly wack. DELETE
      5. Red Nation – FIRE…proof that he’s still got it
      6. Dr Dre Interlude I – Really? DELETE
      7. Good Girls Gone Bad – Cool beat…should’ve featured Ghostface and not a faggot…I won’t delete this probably just skip it
      8. Ricky – Solid…stands out on this album.
      9. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly – Decent beat though quite repetitive…Solid,yet unspectacular.
      10. Heavy Artillery – CERTIFIED BANGER. Sick beat. Sick guests.
      11. Paramedics – Good if you like Young Jeezy…I can’t tell the difference between the two of them…I will never listen to this again by choice
      12. Speakers on Blast – Outkast rip off…like BLATANT rip off…still kinda cool
      13. Hello – Some Summer’s Eve shit. DELETE
      14. All the Way Gone – Embarrassing. DELETE
      15. Pot of Gold – I won’t front I’m kinda feelin’ this shit…
      16. Dr Dre Interlude II – DELETE
      17. All I Know – DELETE TWICE
      18. Born in the Trap – Ill shit. Period.
      19. Mama Knows – Gay Neptunes beat with a Phagrell chorus? DELETE
      20. California Dreams – I guess he had a baby. DELETE.
      21. Dr Dre Outro – Delete

      21 tracks. A few bangers, a few ok songs and a lot of sewage glazed fluff. Not what I was hoping for from a guy who put out three straight ill albums. Considering I’ll never listen to 90% of this shit by choice – 1.5/5

      1. you serious?? if thats how you feel about this album then wat the hell kinda music do you listen to??…JUSTIN BIEBER???? go throw yourself off a bridge son on the real. RED IS STRAIGHT FIRE

      2. I listen to his other 3 albums regularly…I’m usually bumping Scarface, Dogg Food, Ghostface, Styles, Raekwon, Cube, etc…yah know, music for heterosexuals? But Bieber should have been on this soft ass bullshit though, not a bad idea, he would have fit right in with all the other cupcakes…defend this shit all you want but it ain’t one of the top 250 hip hop albums of all time never mind a “classic”

    166. very nice album.. cant complain…maybe his best work right up there with Doctors advocate..
      5/5
      fav: Martian vs Gob
      good girls go bad

    167. Game is a natural born killer when it comes to putting together unique, HARD beats and ryhmes that flow like waaatahhhh(BRUCE LEE VOICE)!! Game is top billing when it comes to this rap shit folks! The only other lyricist that has just as much liquid skills and maybe can edge Game out is EMINEM! You haterz can hate all you want but at the end of tha fucking day—>The RED album was put together very well with mad-tight, banging beats and coherent storytelling with above par guests. Game is in my top 3 “living” MCs(NAS,EMINEM are the other 2) and in no particular order unless you categorize them based on what they actually rap about. THIS ALBUM GETS A STRONG AND JUSTIFIED 9.5 ON THE 10 SCALE AND 4.75 ON THE 5 MIC SCALE. THE MORE I LISTEN TO IT, THE MORE IM COMPELLED TO GIVE IT A 10 AND 5 MICS!! GET IT GAME!!

      P.S. WHEN DR. DRE IS AFFILIATED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM WITH A PROJECT YOU CAN BET YOUR SMALL BALLS THAT IT’S NOTHING LESS THAN SUN SURFACE HOT! WINK!

    168. This album is waaay better that watch the throne!! Jay Z kanye have skills but they aren’t as coherent as GAME!! His storytelling is on point and the beats are equally mesmerizing!!

    169. Lyrically this album is dope…if you’re a hiphop fan and like to listen to street music.. this album is for you but if your style is more of pop.. then you should go listen to WTT..

    170. This album slams bro!! Game really put major effort into this one. Good work. As far as all the features. People don’t know how much work it takes to put songs together. That’s a whole bunch of writing bro..

    171. After one listen… It sucks. No wonder Interscope kept delaying it. I liked LAX, so this should have been at least on par with that. Artists need to learn how to evolve, not stay in one lane and beat the same tired topics to death.

    172. out of 299 people 205 gave it a 5…so i guess u can say that the people on this site aren’t dickriders and stan…sarcasm

      1. damm thats it? this album wont reach 200k damn i thought the west was holdin him down cali is a big fuckin state

    173. The Game might be seeing red next week at the top of the Billboard 200. Industry prognosticators suggest that the rapper’s new “The R.E.D. Album” (Geffen/Interscope) could sell more than 90,000 copies by week’s end on Aug. 28.

      If the set does hit No. 1, it will mark Game’s third topper following 2005’s “The Documentary” and 2007’s “Doctor’s Advocate.” His last album, “LAX,” started at No. 2 in 2008 with 239,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

      There’s always the chance that Jay-Z and Kanye West’s collaborative album “Watch the Throne” may hold at No. 1 for a third week. But it’s too early to tell what their album may sell.

      Pop icon Barbra Streisand could be the next biggest arrival on the Billboard 200, as her “What Matters Most” may launch with 70,000 to 80,000 copies.

      Her last album, 2009’s “Love Is the Answer,” was a surprise No. 1 debut, bowing with 180,000 — her best sales week since 1997. However, “Love’s” handsome bow was bolstered by a half-hour chat and performance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” along with appearances on CBS’ “Sunday Morning” and NBC’s “Today.” “What Matters” doesn’t have the opportunity to benefit from the now-off-the-air “Oprah.”

      Country star Miranda Lambert’s new side project, Pistol Annies, may see its “Hell on Heels” debut start in the top 10 as well, with perhaps 30,000 to 40,000 copies. The trio comprises Lambert, Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley.

      1. worst kinda “FAN” in hip hop.

        the kinda faggot that will drop by to leave a comment on RECORD SALES.

        kids are really gay now huh? do you sit around with your friends talking first week soundscans and album flops? or do you talk about what hot music is out there?

        if you comment on record sales in a negative way, you should have money riding on the release. otherwise, shut the fuck up.

        either listen, or don’t listen. don’t be a broke industry insider with no life.

      2. haha gtfoh thats all this fool talk about he wnt in on banks and 50 numbers dont feel sorry for him its over HE said he was gonna be #1 he talked all that shit about sales dont be a dick rider and forget it now it was on him he was on the radio talkin about smashin the charts

      3. i don’t care what he said. i don’t know what he said. i don’t watch rappers get interviewed all day. i get music and judge that. what do you have to gain by talking about record sales? is that what you kids talk about when new music drops? first week numbers?

        kill yourself. really. i liked banks album, didn’t care what it sold. i like this album, don’t are how much it sold.

        did you BUY any of the albums you talking about? or are you just downloading all your music only to laugh at low sales? you’re a winner bro, big time.

    174. without two or three tracks this would be a classic.

      the lloyd track, the mario track & the jeezy track.

      the way the first 10 tracks of this album hit me>>>

    175. 90k he wont go gold.atleast bisd went gold shit curtis went platinum and the i get money single was 2x platinum then he had jay-z and puff get on the remix after the the 50vskanye media hype

    176. game aint gonna get picked up by no major label with these numbers damn i guesss they really dont fuck with game in cali

    177. if Game didnt diss Banks for his record sales I wouldnt say anything….but you got Dre/aftermath and barely outsold him with more advertising/financial backing and a big label backing you….HFM2 was a bigger success considering circumstances

    178. Co-Sign.

      Game dissed Banks like he flopped big time. Let’s not forget a) He’s not with Interscope anymore. B) His label EMI had ZERO promotion. He did everything himself, going from talk show to talk show to tell people his album is coming. And c) He came out on the same day as Kanye f*cking West! and Nicki Minaj who’s hype back then was crazy (I don’t know why though).
      And with that said, his album was still one of the best of the year. He came on point on nearly EVERY song. He didn’t have the big shot producers like Game. No Cool & Dre, no Pharell, no Primo. YET Banks murked every song, and came hella harder than Game did. Making rappers the likes of Raekwon, Styles P, Pusha T, Fabo step up their game cause they were on the same track as the PLK. He even outshined EMINEM on Where I’m At. Game was outdone by f*cking Tyler..

      Also, he talked MADD sh-t about 50′s numbers. 50 did about what, 160K first week and came in 5th. Game’s like he’s gonna sell more than both 50 and Rick Ross combined… Really Game? 50 went Gold.. Will you ever go gold again??

      SMH Game. You talk mad sh-t, but couldn’t back it up.

      1. well said. I don’t see this bullshit moving over 250k…he already released the only catchy single, to no avail…I Knew you could do it champ! LOL

    179. Shout out to @lloydbanks for coming in #25 on soundscan the 1st week selling 45,188 copies with the new album. I knew u could do it champ! Again, I’m not hating…. I’m encouraging EVERYONE to go out & cop @lloydbanks new album “SMH2″ Oops, I meant “HFM2″… my bad sport

    180. Hahahahaha, WOW I guess real people are seeing this dude as the fraud he is! That sh-t is too f-cking FUNNY. I was thinking close to maybe 400k first week guess I was wrong… Now time to see Tha C4 do slightly better hahaahhaha

    181. OK R.E.D IS A FUCKING CLASSIC… I CAN LISTEN TO IT WITHOUT SKIPPING A TRACK HONESTLY . I MEAN GAME HAS HIS ISSUES WHO THE FUCK DOESNT THO.

    182. I cant stop listing to this album!!! Every track is fire…The Game has showed that it was worth the wait…album of the Year!!!!

    183. This album is The Game best album ever! he showed that he is still the King of the West.. i like every track..especially The City, Drug Test, Red Nation, Ricky, Pot of Gold…sh*t the entire album is great!!

    184. This is the album of the year i cant stop listing to every track.. The Game has proved he is one of the best in the industry!!

      1. This album is Dope… Oh wait I’m listening to Doctor’s Advocate. Glad I downloaded R.E.D because I already through that burned CD in the trash.

        Game’s worst yet! Talk about falling off.

      2. Here we have a fag , that only likes rappers when they are popular. Thanks for contributing to the death of music sales faggot

    185. ONLY PEOPLE ON THIS WEBSITE THEY THINK ITS A CLASSIC HIS 200 OR SO FANS THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN 90K THIS SHIT SUCKS

    186. where game at now he aint been talkin shit this shit aint going gold at all but 50 last album did hahahah and all you game riders went right along with him GAME OVER

    187. im delighted game shud of been smarter and not mocked 50 in a time where no1′s records bar a few are really sellin.

      he also mocked banks who is a indie artist who nearly sold just as much as him lol

    188. 50 sold more than game entire career off 1 album game 2nd album sold because of the beef his last 2 FLOPPED

    189. he did better than i thought

      its a good album it just doesnt hav any song that could b a hot single except 4 maybe red nation and that been played out

    190. Lil Wayne on 2 songs
      Ross
      Drake
      Dre & Snoop
      Chris Brown
      Jeezy
      Kendrick
      Nelly Furtado

      How much more help do you need to appeal to other fanbases?

      He gonna end up owing money on this !!.

    191. let wayne do 90k and niccas talking !!. but its cool for game a nicca

      who stays always talking about sales and nicca cant even do 120k with all those feat
      500 bars 10 mixtapes and whole bunch of stupid !! up to this point with promo and interviews that a fail

      1. This album is fire!! and whoever anonymous is be a man a stop talking sh*t u bi*ch , u can t even post a name u have to be anonymous.. damn why u scared to post who u is bit*h? Red Nation!!

      1. fyi anonymous bit*h ,he made 90-95k in a day, read the article it says in one day sales.. i figure u to stupid to read u cant even spell CAT if i spotted u the C and T… d bag i dont put anonymous i put who i am be a man and stop posting lies. This album is dope!!! no arguments its dope…

    192. Game has revealed that the repeated delay of his forthcoming ‘The R.E.D Album’ was because he wanted to drop it halfway between the releases of Jay-Z and Kanye West’s ‘Watch The Throne’ and Lil Wayne’s ‘Tha Carter IV.’

      Always one to stir up controversy, Game explains the reasoning behind his “ingenious plan.” “I been working on [the album] for a long time but I kept delaying it because I wanted to drop right in the middle of [Jay-Z and Kanye West’s] ‘Watch The Throne’ and [Lil Wayne’s] ‘Tha Carter IV,” he explained to Billboard.

      “That’s my own ingenious plan.”

      Game has been stirring up controversy of late, releasing a diss track to counter Jay and Kanye’s first release ‘Otis,’ while he also faces criminal charges for a prank on a police force.
      STUPID MOVE WHO THE FUCK HE THINK HE IS LMAO

    193. Dr. Dre and 50 Cent are in the studio working on something. Who knows? It could be the oft-delayed Detox or is could be the oft-delayed new album from Mr. Cent. I wonder what it is. This definitely dispels the notion that there is beef between these guys. I would even go so far as to say some of the previous stuff was all acting! Or the totally believe in forgive and forget! Remember 50 threatened to leak Dre’s song and Dre was pissed over 50’s headset line. LOL!

    194. Well god damn! It’s here…it’s damn sure here. I only listened to the first 10 tracks thus far and give it a 10 out of 10. This man is about as real and close as you can get to the westcoast using sound as a destination point. The Game put his fucking SOUL into this album. No pun intended, The Red Album spews Games soul force in all directions. If you didn’t know who Game was before, after soaking in this album you will know how he feels, thinks, smells, tastes, negotiates, problem solves, and any other IN DEPTH conscious action that The Game does. This guy can rap. This album is good even if you never ever heard of Game, picked up a random CD at Best Buy because it was your favorite color, popped it in the CD player and began to bob your head relentlessly to his passion, life, lifestyle, and real. This is the best album I’ve heard in a long time. The RED ALBUM….AKA Five Mics. -Chris

      1. How can you rate an album when you’ve only heard 1/2 of it? Listen to the last 11 tracks they are fucking horrible…adjust your rating to a 2.5/5

      2. The last 11 songs are shit? Gtfo you fucking lame. Some of the best are speakers on blast, hello, paramedics, all the way gone , are in the last 11 songs.

    195. Anonymous-

      How has Game evolved? He’s making the same bullshit songs 50 does, with the R&B singers who sound like they’re being castrated. Interscope knew they had a dud on their hands.

    196. this album as a whole was weak . maybe 2 or 3 good songs . the rest is filler .
      Red album is his worst . 2.5 stars

      1. i gave that shit a 2 if u say his cd was fire ur lying to urself and deep down u know it. Thier were 3 songs on thier that were good otherwise sounded like a bullshit mixtape i wasnt surprised tho the bulk of candy and coranas sucked balls 2 games falling off sadly

    197. The RED album is the album of the year.. every song is great on this cd and look at the names on it wit the Game, Lil Wayne and Drake..DAmn!!

    198. i love this album!! there are some many good tracks like pot of gold, Hello, good girls go bad. i would give this album 5 stars 🙂

    199. 18 tracks, 17 guest appearances. Rappers really don’t like to carry albums on their own anymore huh? More senseless name dropping on this album. Dude just be saying names for no reason. 4 straight r&b joints near the end of the album. I’d say the highlight of this album is the production. It’s strong.

      DX, you really need to consider implementing half stars on your rating system for the users. Look to the right at all the albums reviewed this month. 5/5 is the most popular ranking for every single album reviewed on here. wtf?/lol. That’s just not possible. It looks like 10 classic albums came out this month alone.

    200. Album is dope… Oh wait I’m listening to Doctor’s Advocate. R.E.D album is compelete trash. His guests have more versus than him. How the fuck are you gonna be hard and have chris brown on a track?

      Game fell off and he was one of the few greats left. Glad I only downloaded this shit.

      Not one track has a good beat

      1. Not one dope beat on the whole album hungh? Trash from fron to back hungh? Tom O sucks balls. Good think your opinion mans as bout as much as your opinion on solid hip-hop..absolutely shit. Prolly some 14 year old white kid that thinks Whiz Khalifa is lyrical..smh..Eat a dick fag daddy. This is definatyely better than L.A.X and a solid four star product from one of the wst coast best..fuck is a Tom O any way..bitch ass

    201. I’m sure because it finally got released some want to like it no matter what, but Hollow Tip’s new album (Shipping & Handling) goes harder than this. If this is what Detox is going to sound like, don’t bother.

    202. I bought this album basically because I have everything else Game put out, and I wanted to have the complete collection.

      This is definitely my least favorite Game album so far. Too many crossover/R&B hits. The album is called The R.E.D. Album, so I thought it was gonna be his most gangsta album so far. Instead, it’s the softest stuff I’ve ever heard from him.

      Quit making songs for the radio and just rap.

    203. This album is the best Game has droped.. if anyone thinks this album is not hot then they need to clean the shit out there ears!

      1. Best Album.. Really? Its Better Than “The Documentary”. Not a fucking chance bro. The doc is one of the best hip hop album of all time

    204. damn the RED album is fire!!! every track is hard.. hey AlaskaJack go fuck off u dont know shit….by this shit!!

      1. No need to be a jerk about it, dude. You tell me to go fuck off because I think this is Game’s worst album? I didn’t say it sucks. I didn’t even say HE sucks. I just said in my opinion, it’s the softest Game album, and my least favorite of his four (all of which I own).

        If you ride Game’s dick so hard that you think this album is fire, then you’re part of the reason hip-hop is dying. I won’t accept this sub-par album and call it a classic and say it’s “fire” just because I like the rapper that put it out.

        Show me an example (lyrically or musically) of how a song like “Hello,” “All The Way Gone,” or “Mama Knows” is hard. I think it’s a soft album, and I don’t like it. Telling me to go fuck off because I don’t like it is ignorant–and honestly shows that YOU don’t know shit, not me.

        And by the way, you tell other readers to “by this shit…” It’s spelled “buy” there, buddy.

    205. wow the GAme has out done himself, by far his most creative and smooth flowing album The red album is a album that true hip-hop fans need to buy and listen too!

    206. The GAME IS DOPE ON THIS ALBUM… THIS IS A ALBUM WORHT BUYING.. I HOPE DETOX IS AS GOOD AS THE RED ALBUM.. AND AUG 28 WEEZY COMING OUT, BUT THIS ALBUM WILL BE HARD TO TOP!!!!

    207. RED album is the album of the year!! this is such a great album every track is great and the artist on the album are spitting like they trying to get there name out there… i very impressed with this album this is the Game best album yet!!!!

    208. ok i guess better than the majority of the cds out right now,. and ya theres NO way its his best cd i mean he had to have lil wayne on it 2 times u know a rapper needs help when they gotta put that chimpfuckin lil bastard on there cd 2 times 3 stars

    209. I thought it was pretty good I love the song ft Kendrick Lamar was dope but Lamar killed it. Tyler went hard on the song he was. But the best song on album was Ricky, and Momma Told me

    210. the RED album is the album of the year, i think the Cater IV will be dope also.. but the Game out did his old albums wit the red album

    211. The game never disappoints! He’s always got the best beats! The lyrics go down hard! Thts wt I call gangster rap! The album is gold nd I would recommend it to all hip hop fans!!!

    212. many features aside, this wasn’t a bad album. there were parts that could have been taken out but game is maturing.

    213. The RED album was great! Drug Test, Pot of Gold, Ricky, REd Nation, Born in the trap, and Paramedics wit Jeezy was HARD!!! I would give this album 5 out of 5!!!

    214. The GAME has proved he is an elite rapper… The Red Album is the clear album of the Year! I think WAYNE Carter IV will be dope but the Red Album is still the best album this year!!!

      1. I hate to say it but I would say this album is number 2 after watch the throne not that I prefer it over Red but a Jay z and Kanye group album cant beat that not even Eminem or Lil wayne.

    215. I personally dont buy albums but after listing to wat the Game put out on this album , I went to best buy and bought it. I usually dont do that but the red album is great, props to the Game!

    216. This album is instant classic Game killed this R.E.D album him and tyler sound good on the #4 track one of my favorite on the album

      1. In those ten years Game alone has made better albums than this. foh. It’s a solid album, but please.

    217. I’ve spun WTT, I’ve spun RED, I’ve spun C4 and the only one I can listen to from first track to last is RED. It has a coherence that the other 2 albums lack (they aint whack but they just don’t have the same listenability). People hate on Game for his features. Wayne got plenty of those on C4. WTT was made by 2 dudes. So people stop hating. All these albums are keeping hip hop alive. I know you’re not thinking the New Boyz or Kreayshawn are doing that. come on now

    218. A GAME album. Definitely competing with the collaboration from Jay and Ye.. Soulful song like Ricky on their were perfect.

      Happy he didn’t churn out a pop album like most of the songs off his mix purp and patron … HipHop is UNDERGROUND nowadays .. always was, always will be..

    219. kinda hard for me to judge this album fairly after hearing a promise of that diary of compton album. i was expecting something a notch below chronic 2001 with game rapping instead of dre. he needs to roll the dice and go all west coast (maybe a scarface or jay feature as a surprise) on the next album. he sounds liek a follower right now and he can help bring the wets back

    220. I hate to see this this album was alright on some tracks but it was nothing compared to his first two albums. Or even his classic mixtapes like you know what it is 1-4, Ghost unit, stop snitching stop lying, Purp and patron, or the hangover. It did do better slightly then LAX though.

    221. Album is too damn inconsistent. You can blatantly tell it was made over a period of 3 years because the sound and quality of the tracks is all over the place. And why the fuck does Game go out of his way to impersonate Tyler, Jeezy, Dre, Big Boi etc. on the tracks they feature on? Thats more perpetrating than the name dropping. That Ricky track is FIRE, one of Games best.

    222. the people saying this album is wack are a bunch of thug niggas who only listen to songs about shooting people, raping girls, stealing stuff, smoking weed e.t.c
      THIS ALBUM GOING TO SELL BETTER THAN LIL WEENIE AND THE GAY’S ALBUM

    223. Classic album….can play it straight through…how many CD’s have you brought that you can say the same thing about? None!

    224. Album of the year definetly. He’s done really great work and it’a crazy how he still stays so hungry for this. 5*

    225. This is the Album of the year, the only track I didn’t like was All the way gone. But the rest are classics. Im going to buy the CD when it arrives to Europe, bump that shit all day!!!

      1. the game’s not over.. plus 98k’s not bad for a nigga thts been in the game for 10 years and hasnt gone commericial

    226. damn 98 the first week fans man fuck yall niggas bad fan …game i bought ur shyt juz to show u im a real fan

    227. This album sucks…
      Big Ghost’s album review of this was on-point.
      The Good, The Bad, The Ugly & Heavy Artillery are dope tracks though.

    228. yo this shit fire. i wish game would read this shit so he know he on fire and he should never change. this shit better than watch the throne and the carter 4. the only reason he dont sell like them cuz he aint commerical. i seen pot of gold 2 times on mtv jams an i watch that shit allday. i never hear non his shit on the radio.

    229. Great Album, Ricky, heavy artilley, born in the trap, paramedic, martians vs goblins, pot of gold, drug test, good bad ugly allcrazy songs

    230. I’ve spun WTT, I’ve spun RED, I’ve spun C4 and the only one I can listen to from first track to last is RED. It has a coherence that the other 2 albums lack (they aint whack but they just don’t have the same listenability). People hate on Game for his features. Wayne got plenty of those on C4. WTT was made by 2 dudes. So people stop hating. All these albums are keeping hip hop alive. I know you’re not thinking the New Boyz or Kreayshawn are doing that. come on now

    231. One of the best albums of the year easily. Production on here is SICK, Game came hard and the features just add to the sickness. Everything sick. Flu time. OMG!!

      1. I agree it he deserves to beat out “Watch the Throne” for the 1 spot a lot of passion went into creating this album..it wasn’t just about the money it was about the music

    232. Roc-A-Fella, students of the game,
      we passed the classes
      Nobody could read you dudes like we do
      Don’t let ’em gas you like Jigga is ass and won’t clap you

      Mind from spirit, body from soul
      They’ll have to hold a mass, put your body in a hole
      No, you’re not on my level get your brakes tweaked
      I sold what ya whole album sold in my first week
      You guys don’t want it with Hov’

      but I know – the sun don’t shine, then son don’t shine
      That’s why your – LAAAAAAAME! – career come to a end
      There’s only so long fake thugs can pretend
      Nigga; you ain’t live it you witnessed it from your folks pad
      You scribbled in your notepad and created your life

      smarten up “GAME”
      Four albums in ten years nigga? I could divide
      That’s one every let’s say two, two of them shits was due
      One was – NAHHH, the other was
      “the documentry”

      That’s a one hot album every ten year average
      And that’s so – LAAAAAAAME! Nigga switch up your flow
      Your shit is garbage, but you try and kick knowledge?
      (Get the fuck outta here) You niggaz gon’ learn to respect the king
      Don’t be the next contestant on that Summer Jam screen
      Because you know who (who) did you know what (what)
      with you know who (yeah) but just keep that between me and you for now

      A wise man told me don’t argue with fools
      Cause people from a distance can’t tell who is who
      So stop with that childish shit, nigga I’m grown
      Please leave it alone – don’t throw rocks at the throne
      Do not bark up that tree, that tree will fall on you
      I don’t know why your advisors ain’t forewarn you

      J.COLE, we run this rap shit
      Get zipped up in plastic when it happens that’s it

    233. Thank You Game for bringing back real music!!!!!I’m wasn’t a big Game fan but after listening to this album I respect him! My favorite track is “The City” ft. Kendrick Lamar he killed it!

      1. Brian hates game so much he has to keep comin back to this post to spray hate. some people just must not have anything better to do. All in all I think it was a good album. dont worry brian, we all know you hatin over there so dont even waste your time posting more

    234. This album is a classic and he shouldn’t have to die before you believe it. You can listen track 1 to the end and feel every song. Rappin with features are harder than solo. Pay attention who chose to be featured on his four albums, all your favorite rappers beside Jay-Z. I’m sure true hip hop fans know why.

    235. The Documentary is bound to generate some criticisms, and it should. He continues the awful tradition of when-thugs-love (a la “21 Questions,” “Karma”), with “Special.” The song is complete with an oh-so-poetic hook “I want you to know you’re special.” While not particularly bad, the beat on “Where I’m From” does not meet the high standards of the rest of the LP and could have easily been left off. And while it may seem like nitpicking, his constant name-dropping gets on the nerves after a few listens – it just needs to go. I swear he must say Dre’s name about 30 times on the album. I’m sure I won’t be the only one to say so, but it is hard not to wish a better emcee got blessed with these beats like, say, Ras Kass – especially when you consider the absolute lack of dues The Game has paid to this point. The guy hasn’t even been rhyming 2 years, and it isn’t like he that good to warrant the instant superstardom. Still, that doesn’t change how good this album is. Two weeks into the year and it is easily the best album of 05 – and I wouldn’t be all that surprised if it is still being called that 11 months from now. A lot of people are going to be playing The Game.

    236. Gayme has more rappers in his mouth then Kat Stacks and more guest on the Red album than Thanksgiving Dinner…So its a grade A+ flop

      1. They hatting on Game cause he didnt do a pop album. Fuck the industry! They hatted on the singles cause they were not pop friendly. This is what the mainstream is trying to do to real music, destroy it. Fuck all the hate!!

    237. They hatting on Game cause he didnt do a pop album. Fuck the industry! They hatted on the singles cause they were not pop friendly. This is what the mainstream is trying to do to real music, destroy it. Fuck all the hate!!!!

      1. so just because people don’t like this bullshit album we are haters??? i love coming to this site – it’s like a first class flight to bizarro world.

    238. top 15 rapper of all time & had 1 of da most anticipated albums ever!!!!! & he didnt even do 100k 1st week? wowsers but idk y’all “so-called critics/fans” think features fuk up a artist album wen it dnt! it depends if da chemistry is gud or if da song is gud period,i dnt wanna hear no rapper 4 like 20 tracks str8 by dey self,ima artist myself,it adds anotha element 2 da project & cross blends fanbases

    239. Fantastic album from The Game. He never fails to impress. However, I feel the album poses too many different ‘types’ of Game because it was recorded over a long period of time.

      His voice inflection varies over the tracks. He tries to sound like Big Boi on “Speakers on blast” and like Young Jeezy on “Paramedics”.

      Other than that, Game dropped another hot one.
      I prefer “Documentary” and L.A.X to it though. Game remains in my top 5 anyday

    240. This is easily the album of the year, theres a reason that game got to kill a premo track and wayne will never get that opportunity, cause premo only works with real emcees

      i only wish that nas could have been on a track

    241. 50 wrote the songs game said he didnt game is a fuckin liar:

      50 went on to claim he wrote on more songs on Game’s The Documentary than he was credited for, including “Church for Thugs,” “Special” and “Higher.”

      “I did so much on his record, I did six records,” 50, who is featured on The Documentary’s “Hate It or Love It,” “Westside Story” and “How We Do,” scoffed. “To take the time and energy from what I’m doing on my record and create his record, then have him go off at his mouth like that and be disrespectful … “Game had actually been on AftermatH for TWO YEARS before they gave me the opportunity to do the project with Dre,” 50 told MTV in January. “I think creatively they were stuck a little, but then when I was brought in we were able to add new energy. They got excited about the project, brought him out, we recorded like nine records at the house in Farmington, [Connecticut]. He went back to Los Angeles with the records, Dre liked them, and I just got him re-motivated and he went in and finished up the album.”The Game and 50’s marriage was never a natural union to begin with. Game was originally signed solely to Dr. Dre’s Aftermath imprint, working on his album for a couple of years before Interscope Chairman Jimmy Iovine proposed bringing Game into the G-Unit fold. Iovine talked to Dre, who called in 50.

      GAME IS A TRUE STUDIO GANGSTA

    242. game makes good music. i dont see people writing for him current day. not with all the mixtapes he puts out. game doesnt sell tho cus 1. karmas a bitch, same shit happened to fif when he smashed ja 2. people get sick of his silly shit and 3. he doesnt present his album with a mainstream single. he drops one blood, my life *harsh topics but appealed cus wayne* and red nation. he follows them up with mainstream style tracks ie wouldnt get far, the joint with keisha cole and pot of gold. he does things backwards. i like his music tho. always have

      1. RIP anonymous u fucking pussy, watch the throne is only somewhat alright cause Kayne but the camel looking muther fucker Jayz is washed up… Go get the RED album and Carter 4, the only good albums out!

    243. RED album is the best album to come out.. Carter 4 is good and watch the throe blows. The RED album is def worth gettin!!

    244. I think the RED album is a classic.. from the begging of the album with the city to the end is all dope songs.. The only other album worth listing to is the Carter 4 but Wayne album is not on the level of the Red album, which is an instant classic!!!!

    245. The source gave the Red album 4 mics which is good but the Red album is def a 4 1/2 or 5 mic album… The Red album is worth the money… The Game has shown that he can still put out hits!

    246. DAMN i just got the RED album and it was worth it!! I cant believe i waited so long but after seeing all the good reviews from the Source, Hiphopdx, and all the reviews on Amazon were positive, i had to get the RED album, the Game is killin it on tracks like drug test, Martians vs Goblins, Ricky, born in the trap, and damn the guest on this album were rapping like they trying to get deals, Jeezy kills it same thing wit Rick Ross and Beanie Siegel!!

    247. THE GAME HAS PROVEN HE IS A TOP RAPPER IN THE INDUSTRY WIT HIS PERFORMANCE ON THE RED ALBUM WHICH IS WITH OUT A DOUBT THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR! THE CARTER 4 IS SELLING LIKE CRAZY AND ITS GOOD BUT THE RED ALBUM IS DEF A BETTER ALBUM TO BUY AND LISTEN TO!!

    248. The Red album is great , i dont understand why it got 4 mics it is a 5 mic album! The Game kills tracks like The City, Drug Test, Martians vs Goblins, RED nation, Ricky, Pot of Gold, and born in the trap!! wow if u have not bought the RED album then go Debo a craker and use that money to buy the RED album!!!

    249. The RED album is the by far the best album to come out in 2011!!! The Game has shown he can keep putting out classics, This album is as good as the Documentary…This album is a must buy!!

    250. I love this cd!!! The Game has tracks for everyone, the songs Pot of Gold , Hello and Mama knows are great!!! The Game has really put together a great collection of songs, I would rate the red album 10/10!!!

    251. Why Asian girls go for white men (MOST of the time) is a complex issue; but I think there are a few basic reasons for why this is so common (these are only my opinions except for the stats). One is, men from wealthier, more powerful nations and races will snatch up women from weaker races and nations. For example, in America, more Native American women married white men, rather than the other way around. From a biological and socioeconomic standpoint, women go for money and security. Another thing is, most East Asian women don’t have a strong cultural pride as Hispanic, black, Middle Eastern, and Indian/Pakistani women do. I see Indians/Pakistanis and Hispanics proudly speaking their languages to each other all over college campuses. But Asians, meh, I guess the international students do, but the ones born here don’t do it as much, like the girl in the video who said “when my ex speaks Mandarin, he sounds very gay to me.” Most East Asian women love white culture and desperately want to be a part of it. Asian culture is very patriachal and puts alot of pressure on Asian women to be sweet, humble, submissive (especially around their controlling husbands, fathers, and meddling Mothers-in law), beautiful (aka: look as caucasion as possible), highly educated, an expert chef, and constantly pregnant with boys. Marrying a white man and rejecting Asian guys is a way of rejecting a culture that rejected them first and is a way of finally escaping an oppressive culture and easily assimilating into the liberty, loving majority. White, western raised men, grew up in a culture that (at least nowadays) looked upon women as equals and have been courting/dating longer than Asian cultures have (Asian cultures have only recently started shedding arranged marriages) thus they are generally better with women and relationships. They know how to not be too shy around girls or (as is the case with Indian/Pakistani guys) seem too desperate and needy either. Asian women (having been raised in an oppressive society) are experts in being gentle, humble, and submissive. This highly feminine sweetness can be very appealing to white men who are surrounded by white women who (because of the feminist movement and modern cultural views) in a sense have forgotten how to be women and aggresively demand equality in marriage rather selflessly serve their husbands as Asian women are trained to do. Asian women are thrilled at the prospective of having a husband who actually appreciates this about them, rather than take it for granted as Asian men do, because Asian men are generally used to it. The humbleness of Asian women, and the appreciativeness of white guys creates a perfect combination. According to statistics: white-white couples have a fifty percent divorce rate, Asian men/white women have a seventy to eighty percent divorce rate, and Asian women/ white men have a twenty to thirty percent divorce rate. Although Asian marriages last longer than western marriages, we have to admit, the few good western marriages that do exist have a special depth that Asian marriages usually lack. Women of all cultures crave that, especially Asian women, who don’t want to end up like their parents- just “tolerating” each other instead of being truly in love and having a best friend for life. Hollywood, romance novels, and other love stories usually portray white men as the handsome (preppy) ultra cool hero who sweeps the woman off of her feet. Usually, Asian guys are the nerdy side kicks. Indian guys have comical accents, medicore/below average looks, goofy personalities (Mean Girls, The Simpsons, Harold and Kumar, etc) and Chinese guys are computer nerds, math geeks, creepy serial killers, or just plain weird (William Hung). Many Asian women (unfortunately) buy into this stereotype that white guys are cool and Asians guys are silly, feminine nerds. The irony is, Asian women on the other hand, are viewed by Hollywood and society as beautiful and exotic (rather than nerdy and geeky). White society has a different standard of beauty when it comes to Asian people (men and women). You’ll rarely see a truly hot Asian girl with a white guy. I saw a pair of Pakistani sisters once: the older sister was short, dark, talked like a trucker, and had a large nose. Her younger sister was thin, tall, porcelin white, and had silky straight hair. The younger sister is the ideal Pakistani beauty, and yet her older sister (who Pakistani guys wouldn’t even look twice at) married a gorgeous, tall white lawyer. Speaking of sexual attraction, human beings are generally attracted to people who are different from them- but not too different. White skin and black skin is too different. But Asian and white is different, but close enough. Because white people think Asian women are exotic and lovely, and because Asian women are so enamored by white culture (including white looks) the thought of having a child with blonde hair and other caucasion features is appealing to them. And also, if you’re a minority living in another country, the odds are against you that the “purity” of your bloodline will last a long time. If you are a new immigrant (Asian/black/hispanic) living in America, within a few generations, your bloodline WILL get mixed in with other races. If you have a problem with that, go back to your home country, because that is an undeniable fact. Women (modern, open minded ones at least) usually aren’t as concerned about bloodline and preserving their heritage as men are. Thus, you’ll see more minority women with white men than the reverse. The only exception is black women/ white men which is a whole other story, and will require another blog entry. Finally, minorities usually produce their own little cliques when they live in another country. They are encouraged to see everyone in the group as their brothers and sisters. Therefore, Asian women will look at Asian guys as brothers in this strange new land, and see white guys as exotic, potential romantic partners. I have an Asian female friend who said she wouldn’t date Asian guys because “its like Im dating my brother.” These are only my guesses. Feel free to reply!

    252. in 2 weeks he cant pass bisd first week numbers you know why? because this shit is crap NOBODY wants to hear a rapper sound like another rapper on the entire cd that snoop line on the

      1. I’ve give credit, BISD was one of Curtis’ best albums…he did good, but R.E.D. would be similar if GAME was as big on Radio and had as much marketing…if i’m not mistaken, BISD had a big buzz since it was competing with Kanye’s release.

    253. Game is an emotionally unstable nigga, just like Chris Breezy. Do me a favor and be on the look out for that Wu-Block album and that DMX album. It is about time soft niggas went back inside their closets.

      1. Koth you are sad making fun of someone who is bi polar is like making fun of someone in a wheel chair dmx is bi polar to so if you are going to diss game or chris brown for being bi polar you are dissing x as well and x is really from the streets and really did work. Game may have not been a blood but he was connected obviously thanks to his brother big fase.

    254. out of the 3 – WTT, C4, R.E.D., R.E.D. has the most to say. All 3 albums do their things. I’m no hater. I give the edge to C4 because there’s no other lil wayne on this planet as far as style. He’s definitely original. WTT has two of the biggest in the game and for c4 and R.E.D. to keep pace and even outpace WTT is a big feat. As I stated, lil wayne’s style can’t be confused as being fathered by anyone else’s…in fact, drake is a mix of lil wayne’s and kanye’s style. However, at some points on the album, the Game attempts to sound like to tupac, so i rated:

      1) C4
      2) R.E.D.
      3) WTT

      Make no mistake…all albums are pretty good in their own right.

      WTT loses because, if Kobe and Lebron teamed up, and DWade still had a better or equal record, then you would have to give more props to DWade, so i’m using the same logic.

      1. stop rating hiphop by sales faggot. How the hell can you say C4 was the best of these albums? It was trash, shoulda been a mixtape. WTH was just an experiement by Jay and Yeezy, nothing groundbreaking

    255. the only rapper that is creating proper rap(even thow is quite comercial).Now when you whatch the “hip hop charts” its full of shit like Drake Lil wayne,chris brown…

      1. You dumb fuck. This is album is FULL of the people you just tried to diss. Kill yourself, you worthless piece of shit.

        Lil’ Wayne (2x), Tyler, The Creator, Drake, Rick Ross, Lloyd, Mario, Wale, Chris Brown and Nelly Furtado.

      1. you cant call it his best, it is still not the cohesive masterpeice of the Documentary..but its def up there, the best hiphop I’ve heard since Kanyes last

      2. Documentary is good (I mean, it had AMAZING beats), but a masterpiece? Hahahaha. That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in years. It had everything what was popular at the time it got released, the lyrics were unoriginal and repetitive as fuck. Masterpieces are albums like The Unseen, Behind The Stained Glass, Operation: Doomsday, MM..FOOD, Prince Among Thieves, Disposbale Arts, A Long Hot Summer, A Book Of Human Language, A Piece Of Strange, Madvillainy, Deltron 3030, When Life Gives You Lemons, The Preface, Chorus Rhyme, L.A.B.O.R. (Language Arts Based On Reality) and so on and on. Game is everything but creative. LMAO. How can you not be cohesive, if you have a vocabulary that consists of 30 words? If you write songs that only revolve around names, Dre, Impalas, guns, drugs and Chucks. He’s one of the most untalented at song writing ever.

    256. Red album is as real as they come, as hard as it gets in mordern day hip hop. Aint nun of that fake thug rnb scenarios in Game’s album. Real hip hop. Real Rap. Game keeps it true.

      1. Lil’ Wayne (2x), Tyler, The Creator, Drake, Rick Ross, Lloyd, Mario, Wale, Chris Brown and Nelly Furtado.

        The worst pop garbage you can imagine. This album is fully label constructed. Here today, gone tommorow type of music. Hot at the moment, shitty over the path of time. Hard Hip Hop. Hahahaha, these are some of the softest sounding beats I’ve ever heard. You fucktard don’t know how real Hip Hop is supposed to sound.

    257. It may never have the record sales to show but another complete album from The Game. Hard and heavy lyrics as always from a rapper who actually lives the life he perceives, unlike many of the popular rappers of today.

    258. One of the best rap albums I have purchased in the past 5 years. Game is on top! Coming from a white guy who lives in SC, it spills on the tracks so real. California Dream was the first rap song that made me cry especially since I just had my first child and she was a girl. That song hit hard. I am thankful for a real truth teller still in the rap game! Thanks Game! Keep doing it!

    259. hahah who talkin to themselves give it up its over for the fake no writing clown get over it this album sucks and the sales show it he on a major and cant move any units nobody wants to hear him copy his features flow what kind of stupid shit is that

    260. R.E.D. (Riding Everybody’s Dick) deserves a huge flop. This album should’ve got 1 Star.It wasn’t the best album of the week. He got ripped by EVERY SINGLE guest that was on this album, even the FEMALES OUTSHINED him with EASE. SMH @ calling this piece of garbage ”Hip Hop”. Don’t associate this word with a TREND-FOLLOWING, BI-POLAR FOOL like Game ever again. He got ALL the features he could afford, TRIED to APPEAL to EVERY SINGLE audience out there and STILL COULND’T sell. He was on EVERY HIP HOP site with CRINGEWORTHY articles that have NOTHING to do with MUSIC months before the album was released. Game IS terrible, has NO skills and NO mainstream appeal, he can’t make a ONE hit. Hell: The Sequel, Section.80, The Wonder Years, Cole World: The Sideline Story, Greatest Story Never Told, Blaq Poet Society, Elmatic, The Great Debater, Armor Of God, Watch The Throne, Shaolin Vs. Wu-Tang ALL SHIT on it. It’s Game’s worst album, nobody ever lisented to him because he was a good rapper, he CAN’T carry a song for shit. People used to listen to him, because he had a dope voice on GREAT beats, but even that is over now. His career is nearing it’s end and his desperate fans can’t save him.

      1. Bro dont throw out some obscure albums references and think you are a hip-hop encyclopedia. The Game flows flawless, he can and does switch up his style which shows how deep his flows can go, I admire that. And on top of that, yes it is not hip hop, its rap and there is a difference, Jurassic 5 is hip hop, TalibKwali is hip hop, The Game is Rap. If you dont know the difference than you need to leave rap/hip hop alone.

    261. This shitty piece of garbage betrays everything Hip Hop once was. Game is one of the worst ever, I love how his fans can’t make a decent point for calling this album ”good”. The lyrics are terrible, his flow got worse, it has countless features, mediocre beats and terrible sequencing. Dude’s career is OVER. This is pop music for white, 14 year old boys from the suburbs who think Game is a real gangbanger. Look at how he defended himself in London a few years ago. HAHAHAHAHAHA. LMAO!!! He’s such a untalented clown.

      1. Yo anonymous u bitch,how u gonna talk shit and not but ur name pussy and u sayin Game ain’t a gang banger wtf are u reppin cracker, Sexy Money Murder!! Jersey!! Su Woo!!

      2. Game is so dope, Red album is def album of year! Game is dropin another album in 2012 called Soundtrack to Chaos!

      3. Bro if you think this is garbage you obviously have no business listening to any rap albums. When the dopest “real lyricists like Nas give you props that means something. I bet you think Little Wayne is the best rapper alive. Listen to his lyrics, they all mean nothing, its all comparrisons and similes. Your lame. you are the reason why Rap is garbage now.

    262. This album is great, the Source gave Red album 4 mics and hiphopdx reviews shows that this album is the best this year, Carter 4 out sold red album but reviews for carter 4 ain’t that good I liked it.

    263. Why peps hatin?? Red album was great, all these anonymous pussys bring No good arguments they sound like pussys!! So any haters can shut the fuck up and realize u can’t sell fuckin records ,until till u do , u nothin but a hatin fag bitch!

    264. Red album is dope, rumors of Game makin another album now called soundtrack to chaos, damn can’t wait to hear that album!

    265. Yo cracker u a suburban pussy who will never be shot and Game had proven himself on the Red album, so fuck off u fuckin Duck!

      1. You’re a gangster if have you have been shot? LMAO.

        ”I’m afraid of the future (why?)
        Y’all respect the one who got shot, I respect the shooter”

        Fuck off, you gay bastard.

      1. if game is not doin gud music to u,the i gues u nid to go back in tme to da period we hip hop ws brn b4 this stupt sht u came hot hip hop cme in,if u dnt find him hot the its best u stik to ur rock music,coz he aint doin rock,rap is wt he drops.who do u consider hot,drake,wyne,kayer or wt? u wouldnt put the in the sme category as pac an biggy cos they doin smthing diffreant(rock),o u probrbly start wth hip hop yestrday.evn ur rock stars knw hs da sh*t

    266. stop reaeating names Game start your own creativity flow you ain’t Nas,Pac,Dre,Biggie or Hova you are the west coast GAme so pull your game up

    267. R.E.D. album was DOPE, the city gave me goosebumps, but ima be real disappointed if he goes to Cash money after interscope

    268. I haven’t heard the whole album yet just a handful of songs, but all the the ones which I heard are really much better then what I expect from Game minus one or 2 gems on his previous albums. So i think its gonna be worth a listen.

    269. WASSUP WITH HOMO CHRIS BROWN AND THE BLONDE SPIKY HAIR IN THE POT OF GOLD VIDEO…LOL DUDE DOING FLIPS AND CARTWHEELS UNDER THE 101 FREEWAY…YOU A HOMO BRO!! ALBUM WAS COO..BETTER THAN THAT LIL WAYNE SHIT…TYPICAL GAME MUSIC…

    270. why are people hating on the game. you dont know what your on about, talking bout his career is over. This album is great, shitted on every single album this year.

    271. icant stand dat nigga tyler the creator he a perfect ex. of a damn hater he came n the game jus hatein on every moutherfuqer lik dayum nigga n i dnt lik his music so i wish he 15mins of fame wuld b over

    272. Worst major label release of the year…gets WORSE over time…I originally rated it a 2/5 but after further review…1/5. This is shit is fucking TRASH

      1. fool you sick as hell. this album is a modern classic everybody knows that but you. who put you up to that shit? 50?

    273. What the f**k is wrong with rap now. This album is sick, The game should be put in the top ten of rappers currently doing work. This is why I gave up rap because sub-par rappers like Drake and almost anyone from the south (not all southern rappers)get tons of respect. The Game is a natural. Once again no respect for the West coast and a pure lyricist.

    274. How does this album have a higher rating than Take Care?? All Game does is name drop…he has no creativity in his music..he has a nice style but uses the same essence in every song. Overall he sucks and needed the countless features to make the album semi-good

      1. Because take care sucked and it wasn’t even a hip hop album, it was all pop game kept it real, and actually released a hip hop album, and how can you say game raps about the same stuff, because drake SINGS about girls in every single song. Pop ass

      2. you cannot compare the game to drake they are different genres of music. And the red album is one of the best albums of the year in his category

    275. I actually like da album one of da best this year yo come out Game is a very underrated nf talented mc who deserves his props hate him or love him he is a better rapper than yo favorite rapper #MoneyGang

    276. originally i rated RED pretty high and considered it one of the best albums of the year. But that said now that i listen to it there is little replay value, and to be honest it doesnt have that timeless sound most of the tracks are just current. I think this was Game’s last hurrah

    277. Had to buy it on the release day, and I definitely don’t regret it. I really look forward to he comes to Copenhagen december the 15th on the R.E.D Tour. This is the best hip-hop albums in the 2000’s if not the best.

    278. How did this album only sell 98,000 first week and Carter IV sold 960,000? Makes no sense how this dope album gets a good rating from HHDX and sells less than that shitty lil wayne album. Someone up there is buying albums becasue its puzzling. R.E.D album has real people buying it and birdman is probably copping copies.

    279. Game is the best rapper alive. And this album is a Masterpiece of Hip Hop. It should e honoured that Game is one of the last “real” Gangsterraper.

    280. hmm.. i see alot of projects, i got no option cops tryna fuck me//

    281. Games bars are real talk he is the next big gangster after 2pac shukur 1 love to The Game tunes bassing out all day in My Brighton endz bless!!

    282. All I got to say the red album is the hottest album of the year and the next ten years from now what ever the game puts out is the sick’s shit out

    283. Tha game on fire this the hottest CD yet! He got a lot of the most talented rappers on his album he’s the best the west as seen!!

    284. Classic! Love it, although I only downloaded it this morning, this guy, can revive the dead feeling of hip-hop/rap, espeacily with Lil Wayne featured in the song.

    285. Best Album Ever! Powerful, Real, Passionate, Adrenaline, Honest (unlike the comment about) A real life for many, exposes the truth!

    286. Just been to copenhagen to see Jayceon perform on the r.e.d album tour. That was the best shit i’ve ever seen!! 5 stars, no doubt bout that. Money gang!!!

    287. R.E.D. is Album of The Year! every track is dope as fuck except for a couple I ain’t gon lie, but what modern-day album doesn’t have those.

      Best Album of 2011. 5/5
      On the next one: “Soundtrack to Chaos” hopefully comes out in 2012, be ready Hip-Hop !!

      #GameTime

    288. I thought the album was cool awesome probably one of the best Ive listen to coming from Game my Favorite rapper!!! Keep making albums and Music Homie and I’ll be a Fan Forever

    289. i dun kno man if y’all sayin RED is the best album this year…how many of u have actually bought it???cuz the sales tell otherwise…nyways 5/5

    290. BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR STILL BANG THIS SHIT EVERYDAY FUCK LIL WAYNE HE FELL OFF GAME THE KING WEST COAST BWS 4LYFE

    291. Yall comments below are stupid. Dis sh*t was trash. I’m not only saying that cuz it sold 98k first week, but the sh*t only had 3 good tracks off the album. Wat kind of singles are Red Nation and Pot of Gold. Even Chris Brown couldn’t make that sh*t a hit. Where’s 50 when u need em Game?

    292. 4/5, seriously? only good songs on this are the city, ricky & born in the trap (well not because of game, premo’s beat made it). the rest is mad whack and that’s why this is the worst game album to date. game didnt have an album out for three years, and now this offering is the result? you say this is as good as section.80? never that, this is nowhere near the level of kendricks debut. besides that, kendricks verse on the city makes EVERY game verse on this album look so ridiculous… i dont even like to listen to this dude anymore, im also tired of name-dropping and same shit talkin over and over. according to one of his statements this album is rededicated to hiphop and to compton. still laughing bout that… i aint no hater, just my thoughts.

    293. 4/5? seriously? this must be one of the sh*tiest albums i’ve ever heard! in my opinion a 2/5! No way near docter’s advocate!

    294. One of the best rap albums ever made! Very honest lyrics, accompanied with very decent beats.

    295. i dont even understand how this album got a four rating…im more confused as to how its user rating is so high. First half of the album was great…second half awful with a few highlighs. 3/3.5 is fair

    296. R.E.D. Album is kinda a weird album but still a strong one, there are good hip-hop/rap songs but there are some that are complete garbage, your hardcore Game fans will tell you the same thing, be the Game that every hip-hop fan loves not a club rapper like the rest of the mainstream rappers, overall the R.E.D. Album is strong album, 17/21 of the tracks are dope rest of the tracks are ‘okay’.
