OKay.. Put me on Game, do he have any lyrical skills?? besides "name drops"?

[StillFaggyAF]

that's what makes Game great tho. He can incorporate Hip Hop into Hip Hop and no other rather has done that or executed it that well. All this stuff about dickriding rappers and name dropping and being bipolar is some Mainstream Media Criticism shit, it really holds no weight just for the simple fact that he's original and has made hit records and good albums.

Most of Game's criticism's are slaps on the wrist.

Not really because I've said this since the beginning... I'm from Cali and I'm a hip hop head... There's a difference between paying homage and dickriding...
Dude makes no Wayne references in his past work but now you hear his name every other punch line... Dudes a dickrides people that's hot to the 5th power
6 years and he still dissing jay? Dudes a parody of real hip hop sometimes... But I still bump his albums and mixtapes...lol

i like game, his production is nice, his flow is always on point, and he can spit. he didnt really name drop in his older mixtapes, and when he started it it was cool because he made it all work. but he jumped the shark with game's pain and ever since hes been name dropping just to name drop.

Most rappers in the mainstream make deep songs, it just gets looked over becuz Mainstream music and Artists have a stigma and stereotype attached to them.

"She Will" by Lil' Wayne was actually pretty down to earth and real but bloggers wont admit it becuz it's YMCMB and the hook has something to do with a female moving her body.

lol I actually posted it cause it sounds like a West Coast song, not necessarily being deep.

so basically you're saying that you haven't heard much of Game's music since 08'? Besides "Purp And Patron" (which wasn't horrible), "Break Lights", and "The Hangover" (which were all mixtapes) what can you say. "The RED Album" was a movie.

dude makes it work for him. like i said, people who are criticizing Game have no real education on his craft or his music. they just took something somebody else said and made it their opinion.

or we listened and decided for ourselves that he's an average rapper who relies on crutches

lol thats not what im saying at all. what im trying to say is that there are times where his name dropping is dope, and he makes it work and there are times where he just goes over the top with it. but like i said, over all im a fan of dude.

 

[Skepticxl]

300 Bars? If you don't consider those name drops

 

[...MVP...]

but it's always clever tho. you're not gonna sit up here and tell me that Game's name dropping is wack just becuz he mentioned somebody else besides himself in a rap and that's his style. that's like the dumbest thing to criticize a rapper for (similes and metaphors).

you make it sound like he's talking about them when he's talking about himself.

i'm not saying everybody has to be a fan of Game (or even like him) but let's have a legitament beef with dude instead of just some dumb shit a blogger came up with.

*and the fact that u got that from Complex Magazine doesn't say much, they're the most least credible magazine in the history of Entertainment next to old National Inquirer.

Not every name drop that dude has made is whack. And he's not the first to name drop.

Here's a great example of another rapper name dropping creatively.
[video=youtube;J5lznX2PKlg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5lznX2PKlg[/video]

But the thing with Game is he referring the same names over and over and they're not creative when he does it. The issue with that is its really repetitive. Game does make good songs, some with even good content and emotion, but the dude needs to tone down the name dropping, its ridiculous.

 

[Skepticxl]

I think the only problem with his name dropping is that the people that he names don't even like him half the time.

 

[...MVP...]

^^^
That too.

daaaamn! sawedoff you're starting to look like game's version of shadyteam right about now. even got the same post set up as her. whats next? 'he makes real music that is emotional and melodic' lmao

for real though, he name drops all the fuckin time so get outta here with that 'you're just going with the majority and not forming your own opinion' or 'people that say that aren't educated in game's music'. he's a good rapper and can make good songs, but his lyrics are weak.

Woah there, "hate" is such a strong word.

 

[Bigavelli]

Game is nothing special average at best doesn't Rap about anything no Substance, no Content, can't Write Hooks or perform them, as everyone knows name drop's too much

But his first Album had good Production Dre laced him with good Beats

Nipsey Hussle is a Rapper from the West Coast that is actually great and makes ill Music i would reccomend listening to Bullets Ain't Got A Name, The Marathon and The Marathon Continues classic Mixtapes he is dope Lyrically, dope Flow, not bad at Hooks and has dope Beat Selection

 

[Bigavelli]

Game's Lyrics consist of Impalas, Dr Dre, Gold Tyres, Chronic, Compton

And that's it

 

[p-tavern]

I felt he was reaching when he name dropped Fredrik Reinfeldt and tried to make it rhyme.

 

[jek]

I can't listen on Game because he "name drops" too much. He's been rapping far too long to still be "name dropping"

So is there any Great lyrical rap songs he have besides his name drops songs?

The only reason why I made this thread is because I wanna know why Nas put him on his 2 latest albums

People always talking about his name dropping but Atleast he has a grasp of hip hop history and knowlege through the name dropping. I don't understand why it only irks people when it comes from Him Yet no one seems to care about name drops when Jay Z and Eminiem do it. I'm starting to think its just Eastcoast biasness. The man ain't on some estrogen filled Drake shit and he reps the streets so if you can't see past that and catch his crafty wordplay and how he murks legitimate good ass beats like Higher, 500 bars, church for thugs, Da shit, Dopeman, Born in the Trap, and Ricky.....then just Kill yourself TS because your taste might not be salvageable
