The Game: The R.E.D. Album

The Game last cd LAX Files left a bad taste in west coast fans mouth compared to Documentary and Doctors Advocates both classic cd’s in their own right. Game latest effort puts west coast rap back on the map and reminds you why Dr Dre handpicked him to be the next king of the west coast rap.  The City Feat Kendrick Lamar hands down standout track on the cd. Kendrick Lamar almost outshined Game when he took over the song at the end of the track. Ricky takes you back to Boyz n Da Hood with this track classic west coast funk on this one.  The cd is full of guest stars on 85% of the cd but it works to where I don’t see it as a negative.  All the Way Gone Feat Mario Game was almost outshined by Mario on the hook on this one.  Speakers on Blast Feat Big Boi & E-40 you get to nice verses from all parties involved on this track. You can almost let this cd ride for the most part but you want to avoid Born in the Trap, Good Girls Gone Bad Feat Drake and all the interludes with Dr Dre where really not needed at all. Also avoid Mama Knows Feat Nelly Furtado and what should have been a beast of a song Drug Test Feat Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg shows even more how Snoop best days are like my 20’s behind him! Hands down that was the worst song on the cd and the most disappointing to where it has me worried about Detox if it ever comes out.

Welcome back to Game and keep making music like this and he will stay on top of west coast rap.  Forget LAX Files and enjoy The R.E.D. Album west coast rap on the way back. I rate this 4 out of 5 FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
