  • The Game has stirred up a bit of controversy in the media whether it’s him talking about Eminem, Dr. Dre, or other things. Now I don’t agree with some of the stuff he’s said especially what he said about Dr. Dre but seeing how people were talking about him made me want to rewind the clock back to 2005 when The Game released an absolute classic.

    This is my favourite album ever It was real fitting for the time it came out. I remember when how we do first came out I was walking down the street in my town it must have been on the radio and everyone had the same station on it was banging out of cars and stores everyone had it turned up, that track is still hard nearly 20 years later. I’m gonna sound real old now but if you wasn’t a young dude in the early/mid 00s you ain’t gonna get The Game fully he was the voice of the streets back at that time, the raw MC. Thanks for the video, I never heard the original Dreams till now I think it’s a little corny and album version was better but still dope hearing it.

    Shit was hard when it dropped and being from Detroit I grew up on West Coast music being born in 1988 at the time I was in highschool. Very impressed that he could be on a track with 50 Cent at the time and hold his own. Didn't know anything about him until How We Do dropped. Classic!🔥

    Short story long The Documentary is one of the albums that’s part of my childhood life! I remember being told that 50 signed The Game I’m like who ? The next day walking to school a parked car by the school is blasting How We Do that same day 106 & park dropped the How We Do as a new joint the next day the whole school is blasting How We Do and his album ended getting leaked a friend of mine at the time burned me a copy of the album and I felt in love with Game as a rapper and an artist
    My top 5 The Documentary songs:
    1. Start From Scratch
    2. Don’t Need Your Love
    3. Hate It Or Love It

    22:42 The part in The Documentary song where The Game talks about the line are from The Game's radio interview with Ed Lover & Moni Love and in the second verse of the song, The Game raps "Got a hook from Faith, no verse from Jay, I guess on Westside Story he thought I spit in his face. Told Ed Lover & Moni Love, I was talkin' to Ja, wit that Maybach line, it was payback time"

  • @TheDocumentaryDSMS

    The Game’s comments on the Ed Lover show and on the “The Documentary” track is what fueled Jay Z to diss him in the “Dear Summer” track on Memphis Bleek’s 534 album. Game later used the “Dear Summer” beat on his iconic 300 Bars and Runnin’ diss track that was 15 minutes long. He directly took shots at Jay Z and Roc A Fella Records throughout the whole thing

      We all know the context behind your “one of the greatest rap albums of all time” statement. You’re clearly putting in conversation with the greatest rap albums, which it is not and doesn’t even get mentioned when talking about greatest rap albums of all time. And it’s not subjective because the best rap albums off all time are universally mostly agreed upon which makes it fact based. The order of the greatest rap albums can be subjective. Saying it’s one of MY greatest rap albums of all time makes more sense. Then the subjectivity is valid

    5:26 T.I. is on the original version of Stomp where T.I. & Ludacris diss each other in their verse. According to Young Buck, T.I.'s camp requested that Ludacris change his verse before they clear T.I.'s verse to be on the album and Ludacris had refused, so T.I. got replaced with The Game. Young Buck said "Even throughout the song, you don't hear either one talking about killing each other, it's just more of a competitive thing. Damn, that's hip-hop. So that's why I don't really understand the whole 'changing your verse' part about the situation, but it is what it is. I ended up having to take T.I.'s verse off of my album. I got G-Unit South Records coming pretty soon; I got an artist I've been working with by the name of D-Tay. So y'all can look forward to D-Tay on Stomp Part II. I think it's the perfect setup. I let him speak on the whole situation."

    The Documentary was one of my favorite Game albums and G Unit albums.
    Too bad Game never had a chance to release a second G Unit album, if he did, I really think it would've topped the Doctor's Advocate.
    All G Unit needed was Game's membership would've loved to see Game go at it lyrically with Fat Joe, Nas, & Jadakiss.
    Shit would've been epic.
    What would've made the Documentary a better album tho is if he put that version of "Where I'm From" featuring Dr Dre on it.
    Added Lloyd Banks and Young Buck on "Runnin" to have that Banks and Buck feature along with Yayo's.
    "Til The Wheels Fall Off" should've been included on the official version of the album oppose to the deluxe version and "Westside Story remix" featuring Snoop Dogg, including a verse from Snoop, should've been on the album and a G Unit remix to "How We Do".
    It is what it is I guess.

    I was around 4 or 5 years old when this album dropped so I don't remember much, but I do remember 106 & Park was playing both How We Do and Hate It Or Love It videos back to back and honestly this album wouldn't have much recognition if it wasn't for 50 Cent and Dr. Dre cause you gotta remember 50 Cent was huge after Get Rich Or Die Tryin and Dr. Dre was and still is a big producer but that's my take.
    And My top 5 are

It was pitched to him as the new NWA, I wouldn't stand around hoping for another moment either. Some times you only get 1 shot, 1 opportunity. Game took his, and blew up.

    I was a huge fan of The Game when he first came out. I even made one of my first mixtape songs to his *"Westside Story"* beat and another sampling his vocals. As a native Californian who loves eastcoast lyrics The Game really resonated with me. But I actually didn't really like his Documentary album that much. He had some classics on there but toneally it seemed like it was all over the place. I personally thought his Doctor's Advocate album was better because it was more consistent and sounded more westcoast. But I still have my Documentary cd. I remember being mad because it was delayed like twice until it finally dropped in January of '05

It was not until he got signed to Dr Dre And 50 Cent both though until he became a country known name and once The Documentary was released a worldwide household name. The fact remains and stays that without the push that Dre And 50 each gave Game then I doubt he would of became as huge as he did yeah.

Now this is based on interviews from 50 around that time so of course take it with a grain of salt. But yeah it would be a different situation than ja and jay.
