The Game; he's underrated

[Blaze]

Re: The Game; he's underrated

The Game is very underrated. he's worked very hard to bring N.W.A and old-school gangsta rap back. People say "oh, he had 50 cent sing on all those songs" who the F*ck cares he raps and that's what rappers do. they can sing a bit, but nowadays that's all 50 does. Sings, makes songs about stupid things numerous times. Game makes mixtapes, freestyles and raps about real life. not about sex or drugs all the time. the song "dreams" should really be looked at as a classic in the future. But we'll have to wait to call him a rap legend, he has to drop his sophmore album first then we can predict better.

Re: The Game; he's underrated

All rappers suck Seriously though, here's my take on it:When listening to rap, I hear a constant beat, someone talking to it, a voice overlays in the chorus. The lyrics of these songs are primative, talking about smoking weed, sex, drugs, fighting, and violence. Many of these rappers defend themselves by saying that "It's where we came from," but does that really give them to right to advertise violence through lyrics and video in today's society?The music itself isn't even interesting. I used to like rap for 2 weeks, and tried to get into someone other than 50 Cent. What I heard, was a bunch of stuff that resembled eachother a ton, and not alot of "beats" worth listening to againIn my opinion, the only reason people like rap is because it's the "in" thing to do, and if a black person doesn't llike Rap, Hip-Hop, or R & B, they are considered outcasts. It's pathetic, and if a black person is to focus more on grades and dancing, he is insulted. I've seen it many times.Rap music itself is repetive and boring. Rap music breeds violence and misunderstanding.Rap can't make your spine shiver like a guitar solo in a Progressive Rock songRap can't make you feel numerous emotions within one songAll Rap can do is stereotype people, and make them seem happy about themselves that they are the same as everyone else.Rap is garbage

I agree. The Game is pretty amazing.

Re: The Game; he's underrated

The Game sucks. Please I could name probably 15-20 rappers that are WAY better than him. HE sucks almost as bad as 50 does.

I don't like the commerical rap you are speaking of.

But I still like rap, and The Game is my second favorite rapper. (Besides Eminem)

[Blaze]

Re: The Game; he's underrated

The Game? Are you serious? Most of his good songs are all on mixtapes or unreleased songs. 50 Cent is the definition of commercial rap. Not The Game. He has some commericial hits; like Hate it or Love It, and Dreams, but those are actually good songs. Neither of them talk about drugs or sex. Only flaw to Hate it or Love it is that 50 Cent is in it. But he makes the song sound better, so I'm alright with him there I guess.

Re: The Game; he's underrated

The Game = 50They both suck.

 

[Blaze]

Re: The Game; he's underrated

The Game is nothing like 50 Cent. First of all, he's a better rapper, because he actually raps, he doesn't sing. Second, he doesn't sing about stupid stuff over and over, like drugs, sex, and the f*cking club.

 

[The Lefty]

Re: The Game; he's underrated

The Game talks about the same stupid sh*t.The Game = Commercial Rap

 

[Blaze]

Re: The Game; he's underrated

You have no proof to back up your your arguement. The Game raps about Old School music, his son, Compton, visions-dreams, how he got to become a rapper, etc. Anyways after this post, don't post another post disagreeing with me because the arguement wouldn't end then.

Re: The Game; he's underrated

Honestly, if anything Game is OVERRATED in my opinion. Yeah, he had a great debut album, and some of the mixtapes he put out were straight fire, but he has a long way to go. He did what he had to do to create a buzz for himself with the whole G-Unit/G-Unot thing, and it seemed like he got a little bit too obsessed with it. He's only put out one album, and his new album is supposedly coming out later this summer (I think... I've been reading some conflicting reports about it). Game better hope it sells, otherwise he's screwed. He said it himself that if it doesn't sell a million copies in the first week, he will retire.Also, the Game just drops names on his albums and mixtapes. He raps about the same thing over and over again. Hopefully his second album will deviate from that.I hate 50 Cent, but I think he's better than Game... especially his early records (The Massacre sucked balls).

Re: The Game; he's underrated

Like Lefty said, commercial rap sucks.Not all of it neccesarily but at least 3/4 of it, Game is under the same group as 50 otherwise known as "Whack Rappers".I only listen do oldschool stuff now since theres only a few good underground stuff out and the only commercial rapper I like is Kanye, I like when he produces better though.

I have heard a rap song that made my sping tingle. A lot more rap these days actually do have stories it just depends the artist. Eminem is a perfect example. In his final album almost every song was a story. Not all rap is liek that just the steriotypical rap. BTW I listen to both classic rock and rap and I dont listen to rap because its the in thing to listen to it really isnt either. its about even between rap and rock these days. I listen to rap because they can have some great beats and can be enjoyable songs to lsiten to and beat your head to.BTW Lefty can u actually ever give a good arguement for anything??? All you ever say is an opinion w/ no facts to back it up.

Re: The Game; he's underrated

To be honest I respect them both, they do what it takes to get money, I couldn't care what a bunch of people on a forum thought if I was able to wipe my ass with thousands of ???. They are both good musicians, I doubt most people could rap like either of them, ( who aren't rappers that is)

You have no clue. Comercial Rap sucks. But listen to Papoose, Big L, Royce Da 5'9 etc. They are original rappers.

Re: The Game; he's underrated

The rap your hear on radio these days, Dem Franchize Boyz, D4L, and all that new stuff coming out is plain crap, Eminem's new stuff sucks, everything. Now if you look at his old skool stuff there is nothing better. Ice Cube and Dr.Dre still are the same rappers, download Nigga like me by Dr.Dre and Why we Thugs by Ice Cube, they still have it in them. You gotta listen to the real stuff, Immortal Technique, Royce Da 5'9, Eminem, Cypress Hill, Public Enemy, NWA, Jay-Z's old stuff, Tupac, Biggie, Nas's old stuff.

 

[The Lefty]

Re: The Game; he's underrated

That's why Papoose's new album hasn't dropped yet. For the simple fact his stuff isnt what's hott right now with everyone, like D4L, Dem Franchize Boyz etc etc is. Which it shouldnt be.

Re: The Game; he's underrated

Re: The Game; he's underrated

i think the game is underrated. he one of my favorite rappers.but todays rap sucks and is too hard to defend... "how do you defend: i got hoes in different area codes!" i miss the old raps of pac royce and nas.

Hes saying all rap is commercial rap and i said listen to some Eminem songs because a lot of his songs are stories and not commercial rap.

You want me to give more evidence??? How about a lot of Kanye Wests stuff from his first album. Theres Jay-Z, 2pac, biggie. all perfect examples of rappers who arent just commercial rap.w/e though i dont care i dont want to get in any big arguement
