West Coast Resurrection

by

The Game

Edit

West Coast Resurrection contains some real gangsta rappin' that anyone who likes hip hop should respect. The Streetz of Compton (Ft. JT), Rookie Card (Ft. JT) and Krush Groove (Ft. JT & Get Low) are definitely the top 3 tracks of this album if u ask me.

No matter when are these recorded, The Game still got some real talents. Fifty's just a stupid steroid up clown (like this Joe Crack could call him), whit no skills of lyricist at all, if we have to compare him with The Game. I'm sure that The Game will do better on his own now, without that ridiculous G-G-G... and so on... -Unit. Okay, The Documentary was masterpiece, there's no arguing with that...

Obviously most of these songs were made in 2002 because JT The Bigga Figga (the executive producer) lets you know this at the beginning of "Streetz Of Compton" (not to mention that The Game can be heard yelling "2K2" on several songs). To be honest with you, half of these songs should've never seen the light of day. You can tell that Game was young and inexperienced. There are plenty of bricks on this LP, but the one that sticks out the most to me is "Troublesome". The chorus is wack and Game's flow is just plain awful. "Rookie Card" is another awful joint that has JT rapping more than Game and "100 Miles & Gunnin" is probably one of THE wackest interlude/skits I've EVER heard. Actually, 75% of this LP is hard to take seriously. Even the Intro and Outro are wack because it's just JT babbling on about absolutely nothing.

It'd be unfair to assume that there aren't some decent tracks on the album though. They're most definitely the minority though. "Promised Land" is a deep track where The Game speaks on how his sister was molested by their father and growing up through hard times. Also, there's a female MC that goes by the name Nina B. She has skills and she's featured on several tracks and is one of the few highlights on this album. And "Desperados" has a tight beat. It's one of the more tolerable songs on the album.

In short: This is nothing more than an attempt by JT The Bigga Figga to come up off of The Game's name. The beats are predictable and even the guests are suspect (except for Nina B). If you already bought The Documentary then stick with that. You won't find anything of that quality on this album. The beats are distinctly west coast (unlike The Documentary) and that may appeal to the West Coast fans of The Game. I can't really reccomend this to anyone. If you feel like you MUST hear this, then download it and test it out first. But you've been warned.

Standout Tracks: Promised Land and Desperados

PS - T-Mizzle, I don't dislike the album because of JT, but if this is a Game album, should everyone else (including JT) be rapping more than him? THAT'S the problem. JT was present on the Untold Story too, but he didn't dominate that album like he did this one.
