    Dre was probably bored. Dude was in the game for 30 years at that point, so I understand why he started experimenting with his voice. Em always sounds different on every album too. Even had an accent-phase. You gotta switch it up to make recording exciting or the process can get stale after a while.
    The problem was: it just didn't sound good when Dre did it.

    It's all on me
    Talking to my diary
    Just another day     (first time I heard game I think)

    Might be my favourite tracks off that album.
    If you look at it as a soundtrack with a couple dre verses it's tolerable. But it' not a dope solo record / follow-up to 2001.

    I know but you can tell from vocal inflections, cadence, flows & even delivery. It’s ghost writing isn’t it.

    Will never understand your hate of the Game. Yes, he's a grade-A douche as a person but his music, especially his early albums and mixtapes, solidified him as a great representative of that iconic West Coast sound.

    I'm proud to say I'm a fan of his music.

    No doubt the impact in 2005 but let’s not forget he had to be taught how to actually rap by Dre & how to write a chorus by 50 — he was merely a vessel for that West Coast sound they were after, his image was the important part he had himself & he was moulded into a rapper from there.
