--------
For years now, the Game’s scandals and feuds have outshined his talent, which is saying a lot because The Game has a lot of talent. Unfortunately, the more The Game keeps instigating pointless feuds, racking up increasingly serious legal troubles, and acting borderline sociopathic- the harder it is for fans to focus on, or even remember, how talented he is as an artist.
The Game was one of the greatest and arguably most underrated MC’s of his generation. His debut album The Documentary is a certified classic and one of the quintessential rap albums of the 2000’s. But The Game’s behavior and career trajectory have basically turned him into a walking-and-talking case study of what happens when you’re your own worst enemy. His name dropping has left him no one to defend him and his alleged behavior has robbed him of his royalties. The Game seems to have backed himself into a corner.
So what happened?

I think a huge part of it was how rap changed between the 2000’s & 2010’s, the west coast gangster rap era was on its way out & by the time game tried to stay relevant with the red album it was too late. The first 3 albums were like perfect with execution but he fumbled it with the red album, releasing it 3 years later in 2011. Rap was totally different because you were competing against blog artists like OF, Danny brown, Lil B, Action Bronson. It wasn’t as serious at that point plus you had Midwest (GBE, MUBU) / south artists (1017 Bricksquad, DTE) on the rise & a new generation of LA artists (Black hippy, Slauson Boyz). But you gotta give credit for staying relevant for all these years & not being labeled as a forgotten artist or one hit wonder.

The whole “imma fuck you up” and send death threats and disses and be misogynistic in your personal life to prop up your music is not what people are crazy about anymore 50 was totally apart of that gangsta rap phase as well but he grew out of it and accepted that he had to move onto better things, the Game is literally stuck there mentally

When the documentary dropped, I took it to a house party, we were playing cards for money, I put on the CD and EVERY song was fire, we let the disc run for like 3 times in a row and not one person said put on some new music this is repetitive ETC. everyone was just gangster listening to this music, you could feel the energy in the room, people were focused on the music and it was hitting. It was brand new and we were all bobbing our heads for hours, I'll never forget how this WHOLE album was fire and you can put on an album and let it run 3 times over during a drinking party and not one person wants to put on some new music. or have a part or the album or song on the album that would knock the energy down. I'll never forget that evening, so powerful.

I’m nearly 40 and I remember the entire Game run vividly as he really took off during my time in college. He and I are separated by 4/5 years of age and I think what always turned me off to the Game was his need for attention and his immaturity. Eventually, I stopped listening to gangsta rap and my life just started going in a different direction because I was getting older and wanted different things in life. I would listen to the Game and it seemed like not only was I still in the college years, but he was as well, and it just doesn’t appeal to me.

Was the biggest Game fan during his come up. Me and my siblings picked G Unit artists to rep, like picking your favourite superhero from The Avengers or your favourite wrestler. Mine was Game. Documentary was the first Hip Hop album I was old enough to properly listen to and digest the lyrics. Blew my mind. His biggest failure was being unable to diversify out of being a rapper. 50, Eminem, Jay Z, Dre, Ludacris, Kanye all used their fame from music to move into other ventures. His failure to adapt is his downfall. Very hard when you’re a gimmick rapper that doesn’t reinvent yourself to remain relevant across generations. Game failed to reinvent himself and diversify.

I don't care what anyone says Game still was a top 10-5 rapper in the 2000s & gave us two back to back classics with "The Documentary" & "The Doctor's Advocate" that had so many unforgettable moments imo..... he held it down for the west before Kendrick Lamar. Also both of those albums are better than GRODT (i know but it's my opinion), The Massacre & he's a better lyricist with a greatly superior discography to 50 Cent.......WEST SIDE! The Documentary 2, 2.5, 1992 & LAX are also very good along with his retirement album......R.E.D. + Jesus Piece (two pretty decent records imo) He's also an excellent battle rapper who bodied Meek Mill! 😭 Dude also helped give us some of the best Nas verses back in 2006!

ANybody that's in their 40s now, knows what its like to run into dudes they knew from High School that are still living like you all did the first 5 years you left high school....its sad.

Game dissing Jay and 50 was petty as they helped him. We know your career will really fall and end completely when you diss Jay. Some of them survived and was still popular and successful like Nas who ripped Jay with Ether and his Stillmatic comeback but Game wasn't one of those artists, he did it to himself.
