    Hugely in.

    But I'm not pissed that he has so many features. I'm pissed that he has so many s--- features. That's what he needs to focus. Keep it West Coast.

    Ok time for a first listen breakdown

    Savage Lifestyle is a perfect opener

    [​IMG]

    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.

    [​IMG]

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

    [​IMG]

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

    [​IMG]

    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

    [​IMG]

    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

    [​IMG]

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

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

    [​IMG]

    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

    [​IMG]

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

    [​IMG]

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

    [​IMG]

    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.

    [​IMG]

    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

    [​IMG]

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

    I'm nearly finished. It's pretty good it starts well but really goes downhill. It's weird in a way I can't describe I just feel like the composition of the songs is out of whack or something. Don't know can't put my finger on it yet

    Just gave this a spin and it's f---ing dope. Love the whole vibe and Game's storytelling on this album. He's so much better when he doesn't have someone featured on his songs and actually raps like himself.

    Really not feeling this and I'v been siding with Game since 04. I wasn't overly impressed with Doc 2 it had no original feel to it.
    This project is close to a mixtape not a stupid album. The sound quality is awful and the tracks are very recycled.
    Blockwars was better than this.
