no im askin you if its worth spendin money on..if his raps are good enough to make the song sound aight...its cool rite...
lemme try to say it differently...
Are you goin 2 buy it?
Nah I'm not gonna buy it but I only buy albums that I think are great and/or of artists I feel deserve the customer's money.
There's people who think the album is garbage but looking at it objectively (sp?) it's at least decent.
Beats are banging. Timbaland gave The Game some serious heat, Just Blaze and Kanye did right, Dre had some good shit (probably some of his better material of this millenium. I like Westside Story the most), Buckwild had a dope joint, Hi-Tek did right I think, Eminem did one of his better beats (which isn't saying much) and Jeff Bhasker (dunno wtf that is) had a cool beat. Needlz and Focus missed the spot, Havoc's shit is questionable.
The Game actually creates songs rather than just talking generic gangsta shit (which I expected) but they're not incredibly striking. He shows skills but the album feels manufactured.
I don't know you CD buying habits but I'd download it and then see if you like it enough to buy it.
If you can listen to music liking it for the beats and the rapper not sounding too shitty (you like The Game's flow and delivery?), you can like it (backpacker mothafuckers can't do that shit and they suck).
