Ok time for a first listen breakdown

Savage Lifestyle is a perfect opener



True Colors/It's On is a perfect follow up to the intro, loving Game's lyricism & the production is flawless too on both parts, don't know who's rapping on It's On tho (hidden feature). 90s west coast sound is definitely going to be a focus.



Bompton samples It's Funky Enough by D.O.C. & it's again, flawless



f--- Orange has Game rapping over The Message/Check Yo Self beat? WHAT???? WHY IS THIS ONLY 1:44???



The Juice has Game more laid back, digging the piano beat but have no idea who that chick is on the hook, amazing voice though



Young Niggaz has another piano driven beat with Game on his storytelling tip (one of the best at doing it too) from when he was a kid in Compton. Another chick on the hook can't recognize the voice



The Soundtrack is another introspective song, smooth laid back beat, Game's not as impressive on this but it's not bad

I Grew Up On Wu-Tang samples C.R.E.A.M. & pays homage to the Wu, great song



However Do You Want it samples the same song that Fat Joe used for Slow Down (Ha Ha) a while back, but the beats a lot different. Love Game's lyricism on this. Top 3 song on 1992 from first listen



Baby You is the R&B record, has a singer that takes up at least half the song, it's whatever to me



What's Your Life Like could be Top 1 off this



92 Bars is alright, but since we've heard Pest Control, this hasn't been as impressive to me. Song's still pretty lyrical but it kinda gets boring, mostly because of the beat.



All Eyez is the biggest disappointment from this album, What Your Life's Like is the real closer tho so I'll pretend this wasn't put on



All in all if I stop at What's Your Life Like at first listen this gets out of 10

300 bars and running

It introduced me to Game's raw rap skills and it had some of hiphops best beats. The impact and energy surrounding it when it came out dawg..

Didn't he have another mixtape that was supposed to have no features or name drops then ended up having both? I might be misremembering
