GAME - THE R.E.D. ALBUM - WEST COAST

GAME

THE R.E.D. ALBUM

2011

1. Dr. Dre (Intro)
2. The City - ft. Kendrick Lamar
This took me a while to get into. Still don't like Kendrick Lamar
but gotta give props where props due, he goes off here. 
As far as Game himself goes, he's equally good on the track. 4/5
3. Drug Test - ft. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, & Sly
This is basically a supbar track that had the potential to be
better but unfortunately it wears off quickly. 3/5
4. Martians vs. Goblins - ft. Tyler, the Creator & Lil Wayne
For one who doesn't like Tyler at all and who turned his back 
on Wayne post TC3, i do love this track. 
Beat is ill and the lyrics is sick as fuck! Game is game. 4.5/5
5. Red Nation - ft. Lil Wayne
Three 6 Mafia used the sample better, but this track is real tight.
Love the production and some solidness all around. 4.5/5
6. Dr. Dre 1 (Interlude)
7. Good Girls Go Bad - ft. Drake
I can't front, i fuckin hate Drake more than Ghostface does,
but this is one of my fav cuts of the alb. The use of the sample
alone makes me forgive drizzy's whack ass presence,
who for once is not that bad...and Game is game. 4.5/5
8. Ricky
This is some clever shit. Whomeva came up with the idea of
this track deserves a mention. Love the whole production.
And Game is awesome on the whole damn thing. 5/5
9. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
I love it, i love it, i love it. Captivating and e'ything. 5/5
10. Heavy Artillery - ft. Rick Ross & Beanie Sigel
Some mo' fly shit with great features from 
the boss and the bully. 4.5/5
11. Paramedics - ft. Young Jeezy 
It's aaight and all, but feels somewhat outta place here. 
Might've been better if Game didn't sound like he literally
sucked Jeezy's ass...i mean c'mon. 3/5
12. Speakers on Blast - ft. E-40 & Big Boi
After a few spins, i actually can stand the hook now. 
E-Feezy and Daddy Fat Sacks do more than their thing
and the whole song is growin on me fast. 4/5
13. Hello - ft. Lloyd
Ok, i'm not gone front here either, i fucks wit the lady joints.
And this is no exception. It's soft as hell fo real, but
let's just call this one a guilty pleasure. Who cares. 4/5
14. All the Way Gone - ft. Mario & Wale
More moosh, but, Mario and Wale elevate it for me. Dunno why.
Game is kinda mediocre in compairison. 4/5
15. Pot of Gold - ft. Chris Brown
I'm just gonna pretend i was dropped on the head
in my infant days. This track is dope yo. And i don't usually 
do commercial radio boo boo's. Still...4.5/5
16. Dr. Dre 2 (Interlude)
17. All I Know - ft. Luu Breeze
This is the type of track i'd expect really. 0/5 nuff said!
18. Born in the Trap
Talk about doin a 180, 360, 720, whateva, fuck man!
Game at his best, wit a lil help from Preemo. 5/5
19. Mama Knows - ft. Nelly Furtado
I didn't feel this at all at first. Beat wasn't doing it 
and Nelly F sounds outta whack. Bitch made hook,
f'n annoying. But Game's verses and flow make you 
listen again, and it pays off. Now i approve. 3/5
20. California Dream
Stop procreating is all i gotta say. Beat gets on ya nerves too.
I do like the ending for some reason. 2.5/5
21. Dr. Dre (Outro)

I was never a fan of Game and don't feel the need to 
listen to dude. The name droppin doesn't fly with me 
and his voice is an acquired taste. However, expecting
nothing at all, this album did surprise me. Definitely his
best effort to date and i can actually breeze through it.
But seriously, Game, Kendrick, Tyler, Wayne AND Drake? 
Instant fail in my book, but this just goes to show
one has to have an open mind. And i'm glad i do!
Overall Score: 8.8/10
