The Game’s endurance in Hip Hop is a feat in itself. Jayceon Taylor’s resilience has been on display through rap beefs and legal troubles as he’s compiled one of the strongest rap discographies of the 21st century. He claims his latest album, Born 2 Rap, is his last. The album requires from the listener the kind of fortitude Game is known for, as he recalls familiar themes over an exhausting 25 tracks. The result is an album that has its moments but is nevertheless a disconnected, gratuitous affair.
Born 2 Rap features many hallmarks of a Game album. He drops more names than a government witness, flexes like he’s at Anytime Fitness, and reps the west side like ‘Pac never died. In the past, Game has conceptualized his content to keep the familiar fresh. Yet, here, he adds little flair to his flex. “They don’t want no chronic smoke from me,” he blandly declares on “No Smoke.” He boasts without focus on “The Light” and goes through the motions on “Gold Daytonas.” The early songs range from mediocre to solid, but the first truly memorable cut doesn’t appear until eight tracks in, with “West Side.” Game’s voracious delivery over ghostly cries and stutter-step drums is a much-needed reminder of the man who once brought the west back to the forefront.
There are more gems like “West Side” where Game’s passion bleeds onto the track. The issue is they lay spread thin on an album that is saddled by filler like the mundane “Gangstas Make the Girls Go Wild.” “Welcome Home” provides a soulfully epic feel appropriate for a collaboration with the late Nipsey Hussle. Nip’s verse serves as a compelling coda to the cut and is the best feature on the album. Yet, even an engaging song like “Hug the Block,” which delves into the drama of Game’s family life, loses some of its luster at track 17 of the staggering 25. The closing “Roadside,” with its melancholy guitar strings and Game’s musings on mortality, is the album’s most impactful record. However, by the time Ed Sheeran’s heartfelt vocals close out Born 2 Rap, the album has long since worn out its welcome.
The project’s length could be forgiven had Game tied the records together with focus as he did on 1992. Yet, the closest the album gets to conceptual congruity are like-minded materialistic song titles like “Gold Daytonas,” “Five Hundred Dollar Candles,” and “Gucci Flip Flops.” However, Game is consistent in his reflective mood, which varies from surface reflections about how great The Documentary is to genuinely interesting tidbits about his past. “My life almost got cut short on the ‘Math/’Til Jigga told Dre “Hate It Or Love It” was a smash,” Game reveals on the title track.
#DXCLUSIVE: The Game Says Michael Jackson Wanted Him & 50 Cent To Work Together For His Album
The cut, backed by soulful cries and simple yet effective drums, is a reminder of what is so endearing about Jayceon Taylor in the first place. His love for Hip Hop, reverence to the past, and belief in himself bolster the cut with a sense of wistfulness befitting of a final album. Had more of the project emanated this feeling, and had Game cut the fat off the finished product, he may have produced a winner. As it stands, Born 2 Rap is a proclaimed swan song that feels more like a playlist. Let’s hope Jayceon has one more in him.

After watching the Westside video and seeing how unoriginal it is copying 2pacs video for California Love from 25 years ago made me realize Game is just a biter always has been he tries to sound like Pac im glad I never supported this clown or bought any of his tired music im from Cali also and this dude is super lame
I give him props for getting all his baby mommas in one room for the album cover
Thats a feat in itself haha
yo shut yo dumbass up, he was paying homage in the video…
Yeaahhhhh, sureeeee, and Ja Rule was just “paying homage” to Tupac as well? Pac wouldn’t have been cool with Game at all…
Paying homage? You mean sucking dick? That’s all I see that as
I’m a Game fan.. but this album is right next to Jesus Piece (one of his worst albums) and that Bloody Moon garbage. Definitely not an album you want to retire to. Smh very disappointing. And why is there 25 tracks?!! Game is buggin
Funny thing is I just heard this nigga saying Jesus Piece was like some sort of undiscovered classic or something. Documentary 1 and 2 and Doctors Advocate is his best material clearly IMO
Haven’t heard this yet but crazy opinion. Jesus piece is one of his top 3 albums
There was 3 comments where did they go?
Hmmmm…..
The Game delivers on the lyrical side, but the production is boring. It’s not weak, it’s quality beats, but not too many tracks stand out. And using samples that have been used a ton of times before is not creative. Most of the hooks are also forgettable, The best one is the one with Miguel.
Nah, single or not, Anderson killed Stainless
Great album regardless of the criticism… Beat selection and production is dope… Guest appearances too are stellar.. Though not a five a solid 4/5
This isn’t a 4/5 album lol. A 4/5 album is MAYBE the Documentary 2, but certainly not this one. This isn’t even nearly as good as 1992… And neither of those are close to 5/5.
Production dope? Most of the beats already exist, these are not samples, it’s all copies.
Sounds like you already had your mind made up. This site been hating on Game forever.
It’s not just this site. It’s a lot of us. To me, Game is similar to Ja Rule. Both are hardcore biters, who constnalty talk about legends to make themselves seem more gangster.
Sense dey your head at all?? It’s obvious you no get one single single for that head of yours… Mumu u. U no Sabi good music.. How could you compare game with Jah. I love jah but don’t ever compare them.. Tell me one rapper from the westside killin it more than game, yeah he’s gonna say Kendrick who esle??? Dumb head… Ode oshi.
Can’t review no album in one day foh
REPEAT AFTER ME KID: Reviewers get albums early. Reviewers get albums early. Reviewers get albums early.
The album is a classic dope beats what ppl think I rate this album 5/5
It’s bangin’ and raw!!
A FEW SONGS STICK BUT THIS ALBUM IS WAY TOO UNORIGINAL. I FEEL RETIREMENT IS EMINENT AS THERE ARENT ANY CLASSICS TO JACK. 2/5
Game get a review after 1 day and dave east still waiting….this album is piss poor btw
Love it!
Amazing
Album has some good tracks and some filler. Respect the legen! One of the best MCs to ever do it!
The Game new album Born 2 Rap is the best album I heard in a long time. The whole album is fire. Every song on the album are classic hits, viberz, n bangers. I’m amazed that I was able to relate , enjoy n vibe out to every song. Now that’s setting the bar at the level. The Game put his stamp on the whole music industry and is lendary and is the best rapper to ever touch the mic. Spittin’ flames n killing it on every track while delivers quality content n creativity with old school favorites and doing those classics justice and giving praise to those before him. If u gotta good sense for good music and a ear for music u will definitely agree with me. Let’s give credit where credit is due n the game deserves n earned all the credit n praise n glory for a one of a kind, well put together album. The best album ever in history to me. Remember that’s my opinion. I’m just stating fact n keeping real on how I feel about the games album that is going in the hall of fame and better win every music award out there. N to the haters n ppl without a good sense for good music. Y’all just need to learn n listen n stop dumbing yourself with the mainstream mind mulipanting dumb u down brainwashing music for real ???as I end my comment one last shout out to the game for the new album Born 2 Rap kuz this album is the best by far n that’s and understament. #1 album ever in all history ? just give my dawg his props n praise. Well done blood. You gave the whole world nothing but classic hits n bangers n vibes, good quality music n outstanding creativity and the right features on the album n all of them went in on it and all killed it. Best album ever real talk??????? shout out to The Game, blood please don’t retire we need you n need u to keep making them classics n good music. You all we got Chuck. Big dawg just take a break if u need to but don’t retire. Music is in your blood n rapping is your passion you can never stop doing what u love. If anything take a break lol Kuz the rappers now in days r really trash and have no content or delivery. Theses new Kat’s r all pretty much st8 trash. And I’m just being nice about it. Thank you to the game for quality good vibes we all love. Thank u n congrats. Big Win??time to celebrate and enjoy this victory. N put one in the air for Nipsey (r.i.p.) I know this album for the late great Nipsey Hussle. N I can tell the passing of your close friend made u go harder on this project. Respect??
Nigga, did you just type a whole paragraph… what you trying to do…get extra credit. Get outta here with that. I get it you like the album. I think it one of his weakest albums honestly. Still won’t compare to Doctors Advocate or The Documentary.
Bull crap Jadakiss a legend
Nipsy hustle die they forget about biggie one year later talking real iffy
Hate it or love it was nice but don’t jump on a Peter
When Nas mentioned jayz was scared of Jadakiss on ether
Now that’s stating facts not opinions
Solid production, decent beats, quality features, & high quality bars from the nigga Chuck. He did it again.
Perfect score? That’s what we call bias…. This isn’t going to be sitting with the too ten albums of hiphop, EVER….
Track -1 they don’t want no smoke with me shows he’s embracing the Dr. Dre roots of compton and the man that got him here spitting his heart out over nice classically drums… Miguel kills the hook second verse he loss to missy gave you a blueprint to emotions he couldn’t say back in 06…
Track 2 500 hundred candles – give you a testimony to the pride and environment game came up in … first line he says is “39 and I’m still banging” makes you wanna have sympathy to make sure we give artist roses before they go like the great nip . This is game reflecting on his turf and the man he’s become ..
track 3 – The Light- this song is game firing competitive bars at anybody who disagrees with his stamp in the game and the only thing missing is a jay z verse but either way game has the spotlight now .
Carmen Electra – is a classic that’s all ima say … would of had the game if this dropped in the 90’s but the game is good with his boy mozzy and some new blood affiliates to show you how it go down smooth this is the highlight to the criminal lifestyle for dollars ?
Dead Homies – I hope New York felt this record featuring the famous Brooklyn Mc red cafe .. this is for players only and for women and hip hop to stop sleeping ..
Gold Daytona’s – Another special track the west had to stamp on plus its Dom Kennedy stepping into the industry light that’s well deserved you can tell these guys had fun on this track Like when pac did check out time !!! Ride wit it on us !!!
West side – what more can you ask for it’s a legendary west side track that movies will use forever .. Sounds like a movie itself ..
40 ounce love – is games vow to be his brothers keeper and the beat sound like Kanye on cocaine … one of my favorite tracks … if J.cole did this y’all be on his meat harder than a thot craving
Gucci flip flops – lyrical testimony as game searches for clarity through life
Born to rap – taking you inside the game literally
Welcome Home – Nipsey and game piece up like pac and snoop telling you real game from lessons obstacles and accomplishments.. nipsey gave a classic verse .. opened up how he first met game ..
I didn’t wanna write this song- another start from scratch .. game describes the pain for the sadden loss of nipsey with dom on the hook …
The Code – is inspirational gangsta hip hop game passes the torch to 21 savage for a nice drop off
Stay down – this a female song I honestly feel like it’s good but something quick so this not a classic but I will give it a 8 .. it’s not bad at all .. I just wish it was a better song for this kind of nice duo … or maybe I’ve just gotten soft due to all the drakes that’s out there lol
Hug The Block – this is a beautiful diary the games goes in … remind me of I don’t need your love two … this is dope
Ask for me – is game paying tribute to aftermath the westcoast and himself showing you the brighter side of being a west coast rapper w pride
Stainless – nice classic hip hop
Gangsters makes the girl go wild – pimping
Blood Thicker Than Water – game giving game
Rewind2 – showing you why he’s the best lyrical GOD .
The rest of the songs I feel like are dope roadside to end it off .. one life was cool ..
Never seen anyone write a full on track for track review in the comment section. good work.
To whom this may concern
The album is a
The final album for then-called West Coast King was such a garbage ass album. I dumped it in the trash can as soon as I purchased it at the store. So called GANGSTA is surrounded by buncha preggos.
the album ain’t even on sale in the store yet it’s only digital. so how you throw it in the trash…
?……cuz he’s lying, just came to troll.
Not worth the listen, his days of being one of the best to do it is doe son. The Game was never in the game….A legend in his own mind only! Mumble rapping
Shame if this album isn’t tha good. The game used to be one of the very best. Hiphop has changed allot also tho.
I really like this album. I’m still processing it. I think 25 is too many tracks. Just my opinion. I can’t go to classic but it’s definitely solid and will be in rotation for good while. Much respect to Game!
Good album . Laid back reminded me the 90’s
Dope
Stopped listening after first song.
Then your not qualified to rate the whole album bruh. Your only qualified to rate the one song
It’s nothing special but it sure as hell a solid enough project.
Great album but not the one to call it quits on. Game needs one more project so he can go out with some bangers. I’m talking dre production and some sick west coast features. A hiphop head like myself can only dream for a game 50 cent song or even a game and Jay song. Game has a legendary discography and despite his antics is a GOAT imho. Respect that man!
???
Goat
Its good , beats are dope but its just an average dope rap album wheras you got your travis scott albums that define the industry today
You could tell Game put no effort into this album. It’s easily his worst. His fans deserve better, considering this is supposedly his last album.
Dope Album My Nigga Still Going Strong ?
great game album. an album for hiphop heads not this new mumble generation.. classic
“an album for hiphop heads not this new mumble generation”. This copy paste phrase gotta stop. Most the people saying this is gen z White kids trying to impress old dudes that don’t come to comment sections. Album is too long.
It has some dope records but.. overal it’s not a masterpiece. Some beats are boring.. and if you call you’re album “Born to Rap” make sure you have features who are also Born to Rap.. like Nas.. or Royce Da 5’9″ or something.. true MC’s.. and what I don’t understand. He asked fans to tell him with what producers he should work.. but, we have 0 Dr. Dre beats.. 0 Scott Storch beats.. No real Westcoast bangers.. piano’s etc.. I expected some true westcoast shit.. he made great albums, I’m a day 1 fan of his music.. but this doesn’t feel like a good end of his rap career if you ask me..
This a dope album from top to bottom!!! #Classic
What dumb ass community only give this Album a 3.4 out of 5???? 5/5 This a classic
The kind of rapper which i know “The Game” to be…I will give him all the praise on this one… Its a classic… For those who know real rapping and word play and history of rapping skills…
Word play? Game isn’t a lyricist lol. And rapping skills? Let’s see game make his singles without name dropping Pac, NWA, or Dre. Can’t be done.
Straight flames on this album.
.its a classical project….for yall that know about “The Game” what he is been about and what he went through the street up….its a nod head to this album… the album a banger on all accounts…since his last work.
Unlike a lot of people commenting that this album was too long I couldn’t get enough of it. Wish there were more tracks! Another classic west coast album from Game.
Dude, the majority of the production was not Westcoast at all lol… I would not say this is close to being a classic. But hey, glad u enjoy it!
Stole A beat from pac, damn near a whole song from big pun, title and samples from commons the light, ll’s hey lover beat, made a sequel that was a complete copy of nas rewind and was garbage compared to the original, Stole the deangelo beat from belly, stole get money from jr mafia, and this is just what i remember and this is just on one album. this nigga stole his whole last album lmao.
I see people on iTunes calling this album of the year. This isn’t even album of the day. Griseldas album is better and I’ll bet a testicle that the new czarface is better. Couldn’t hear it yet cause they releasing actual records only for the first week then digital and disc. Who got a record player in 2019?
You mean griselda album is better to YOU. Doesn’t mean it actually is. Music is subjective.
The Game is hiring people to give him 5 stars.
Fire album. You can never have too many songs if those songs are great music. This is in my top 5 albums of the year
Game does it again! A complete album you can listen all the way thru! Much needed!!!
Classic Game album, lyrical heart felt material. Much props for having D Smoke on the album, representing the future of Hip Hop!
Rap album of the year ????
I hired people to give me 5 stars. I love attention. Just like I did when I was a male stripper in a thong haha!
Classic Game
The Game is hiring people to rate this album 5 stars
Lol you ain’t lie he must have (allegedly) cuz there’s no way you can call it a classic, not even decent. Boring af he just rambling all over the place. hard to keep up.
Classic
May I kick a lil some for this garbage album beeyotch
Patiently waiting for this garbage album to fall off
When I see this album on iTunes? X! I click X! X! Won’t even listen to your own trash album when I come around.
Album is DOPE!!!!!!!
Dope album, not his best body of work, but still dope.
Got money! And you know it! I will never waste my money on this one!
?????
its so/so. Honestly could be better if it wasn’t so long. Game doesn’t have that the range to do an album with 23 songs and keep it interesting the whole time 3/5
Yes it’s long, yes there’s filler tracks and no there’s no congruity. But let’s be honest, neither had the documentary which everyone labels a classic and that’s not why people listen to his music in the first place.
His flow is great, the beats are fantastic and the features are worth it, unlike some of his previous projects where he threw money at whichever artist was in.
I find the song titles lame (Gucci flip flops) but the tracks are some of the best he’s put out ever, period. Best album of 2019
Best album 2019 on mamas
This review is garbage. The fact that you view the weakest tract West Side as the standout record proves this review is trash. Any way the album is a strong 4, but I’ll give it a 5 because of this trash bag review.
On God bro. This review is Trash AF
On God bro. This review is Trash AF
When Game is in the party, everybody put down they hands
Game at his best! Way to exit!
I ain’t talking about gay or I ain’t talking about Game!
He say he want some super gay and a little viagra, so I suggested a male stripper Gayme oh ooh oooh he say he want some ready for the world
Cum closer, she says cum closer hey!
Early morning traffic! Early morning traffic!
Feel it cummin in the air!
Diamonds are forever… but Game is not forever
Remember $7 mil
Touch my pussy again and bring me lot of fortune LOL
Let’s just beat it!
Greatness.
??
Terrible. What happened to this dude.
Things just ain’t the same for Game
Metro Boomin doesn’t want some more of this garbage album, nigga
You ain’t no brother to me.
Not absolutely horrible, but not great. Actually not particularly good either. Kind of a mess of an album. Even though Game certainly has his shortcomings as an emcee (short on content, repetitiveness, the non-stop namedropping), he has his strengths (good voice + flow, emotion he puts into it, good ear for picking beats)- the good ear for beats part seems to have went out the window. Not sure why he decided to go the DJ Khaled/French Montana route of re-creating 90s beats- there’s PLENTY of dope producers out there that make vintage sounding stuff without actually jacking/making weak re-creations of classic 90s beats.

Tbh I’m about 16 tracks in right now but so far this album is extremely boring. Doesn’t even sound west coast at all, hardly sounds like a Game album. He’s honestly one of my favs tbh but this album isn’t doing it for me. I don’t mind the length of an album as long as it’s good but this is a no no for what’s been given. Far from album of the year for y’all saying so, I say Boogie holds that with Everything’s for Sale or YBN Cordae with The Lost Boy. Really hoping The Game has 1 more in him before he retires..my opinion tho. Fabolous’ Summertime Shootout 3 is more enjoyable
Come fight me!

Harder better faster stronger
If Young Metro don’t trust you I’m gon shoot you
I must have listened to another album then all of u idiot’s this fkn album is hard. No Smoke, Dom and Game on Five Hundred Dollar Candles started the album of right this trash ass writer ssid there’s no good songs until track 8 come on dude
5 songs you can listen to at best… what a hot pile of shit… Not even good beats been selected… retire
In a world of singles, I really enjoyed this album. Currently in constant rotation. There are a couple of FF’d tracks, but overall; solid.
I think I should put your wife on rotation, ya diiiig?
Da Fuk up Bozo
SOLID album. I must say that there were a few songs that I wasn’t feeling (normal) but definitely on constant replay
Good album but the features were weak and there was a lot of filler songs but it also had some really good songs like West Side, Stainless, Rewind II and Roadside. Unfortunate that it’s The Game’s last album.
Good album but Game has better. Has some fire but a lot of average tracks that were unnecessary.
G g g g g g g g Game Over jicky jicky jick jick jick li li jick jick (DJ Scratching)
Borderline Classic. This review is fkn trash lmao
This review is much better than your entire life.
Been a fan since day 1. Forever game.
This review trash asf. This album is great honestly im fucking with the diversity of the features and the different emotions each song brings. From being hype to wanting to just float on the music. My fav on the album is the interlude and city of sin. Cant hate the Game he honestly is one of the realest people.
we gon talk about this cover tho…..
The Game dropped a dope album once again. It seems like in today’s climate, you have to release an album wiht 25 tracks so it appeals to everyone. Game clearly could have reduced this to 15 tracks with bangers like – No Smoke, The Light, Carmen Electra, West Side, 40 Ounce of Luv, Gucci Flip Flops, Born 2 Rap, Welcome Home, The Code, Hug The Block, Ask For Me, Stainless, I Didn’t Want to Write This Song, Blood Thicker Than Water, Rewind, One Life, Cross on Jesus Back, and Roadside. This is an extremely solid album. This is not one dimensional and Game raps his ass off. Who cares about name dropping. He’s rapping his ass off over some incredible production.
Wack ? just don’t like this guy for some reason an his name dropping days are finally over?
Snoops album an JStone new album both better than this IMO ? ?
wack lame i could go on an on an on
Fuckin Ridiculous!
The growth and honesty in this.
im game fan since day 1, but i was a big fan since 2012 and 2017, listening every day, but this album kinda avarage, there is no vibe of the game, some few songs stick out, rest is nag
If the whole album had the vibe of that west side song this would have been.fire. Some good songs but probably one of his worst albums. Game has a solid catalogue tho.
This album is dope, another inconsistent review. This album is called “Born 2 Rap” and that’s what Game did, he RAPPED so I don’t agree with saying it lacked focus since there was no heavy concept to begin with. This gets 3 but Dave East album which was inconsistent with its own concept “Survival” gets a 4. Who writes this shit??
Both albums IMO were highly disappointing
I put on for my city on on for my city but I don’t listen to this trash.
The game is einfach Dope un wer was anderes sagt weiß ich nich der lebt am Leben vorbei
Solid outro to a good career
Great send off
Might b game best album
I think so too. Dude has gotten so much better with his bars. This comes from experience, something these young dudes lack, at least some of them.
This album is fire. Great flow beats stories total package
Dope album it’s something that was needed in hip hop right now
One of the best albums of the year. Great samples, storytelling, and understanding lyrics!
Never been disappointed with a Game album. Another classic.
Hip Hop died this morning, she’s deeaaaad, she’s deeeaaaaaad
Great samples and consistent smooth bars
This guy has zero originality and yes still name dropping even Dre must be tired of hearing his name off this nigga’s mouth for 15 years now!!!
tad better than snoop, almost as good as that bizzy bone carbon monoxide. The album has Game rapping better than anyone in the game, this review is blasephmous. 4.2/5
??♂️♂️ drop a point cuhz?
It’s avery good but far from great album
And The Game is a solid Emcee he has never been a top 5 Emcee during any of his album rollouts
THE WESTCOAST IS DEAD… THIS ALBUM PROVES IT.. ONE OF THE WEAKEST GAME ALBUMS OF ALL TIMES….. WE NEED THE OLD GAME BACK THESE TRACKS ARE WACK LIKE HIS MANAGER
Album is fire. I know those who are use to MF’s with no life experiences, growth as a man a person or black man won’t get this album. To me the production along with the samples and mixing.
Fire again.
Fire, complete body of work… Nothing weak about. If you’ve lived the street life you’ll get it
Never liked the Game, but after listening to this… this ish is fire!!
Dope album!
This ablum is way better then what they rated it ..im no big game fan but this is westcoast music classic rap in 2019 2020 … Whoeva rated it needs to check there hiphop journalist skills …he came with it .. The beats n lyrics was on point 21 sav was dope gold daytonas the light hug the block. The song wit nip smh i could go on but if this is really his last he ended it in the best way …with a true westcoast banger ..thankx game
Gonna echo myster – I’m not even a Game stan but imho this is a great album, even exceptional – shows great maturity in the rhymes and the beat choices, the music – and shouldn’t that matter the most?! If this is his last, it’s a testament to his entire career – some of the songs sound derivative, but clearly intentionally – an ode not only to his career, to Nipsey, but even to the last two decades of hip-hop itself – I like Mac Miller, Uncle Murda, Roc Marci and Moneybagg Yo but it’s crazy that their latest joints got higher ratings than this – timeless music that will bear relevance 20 years from now – the Nipsey tribute in particular (“didn’t wanna write this song”) is heartfelt – respect where it’s due.
This is the bomb the heat is too much
one of the best rap albums of 2019. a masterpiece to possibly end Game’s career
Solid album
I’m just glad that the comments here polarize this (very subjective) review. The Game ends his career on a high with ‘Born 2 Rap”; credit should be given to the rapper for carefully curating his thoughts through subject matters he’s discussed before but still keeping it very fresh. The features are well placed and props should be given to Dom Kennedy for his input. This is one of the best rap projects from 2019. Take a bow Jayceon Terrell Taylor, take a bow.
Long album, but better than the review indicates
Here I am almost 2 years later still finding myself going back to this album with no skips. I wouldn’t let this subjective review put you off, this album is packed with mature lyrics, amazing story telling and so many catch lyrics which still resonate with me now. If this truly is the final album, Game really is a contender for the most solid consistent catalogue in hip-hop, give this ? his ?
