You get the feeling Games in a reflective moodOn Me, Step Up, and Dont Trip are filled with vintage samples and battle rhymes thats pure catnip for old school hip-hop heads.

Made in America and Just Another Day finds Game in his element, daydreaming about the past and his dreams for the future.

His versatility shines as he seamlessly drops bars with Q-Tip (Circles) and Future (Dedicated), flows over a Mike Will Made-It track (Summertime), and flexes over DJ Premier and Dr.

Dre boom-bap (The Documentary 2).

Compton rapper the Game (born Jayceon Terrell Taylor) emerged as one of the early 2000s rawest voices from the West Coast hip-hop scene.

One of the first to join the roster of Dr.

Dres Aftermath Records, he issued his debut LP, The Documentary, in 2004 through AftermathG-UnitUniversal.

With everyone from Dr.

Dre and 50 Cent to Nate Dogg, Kanye West, and Just Blaze contributing to the album, The Documentary made it clear from the outset that the then-heated geographic squabbles werent a part of Games agenda.

Involved in the drug trade after a rough childhood, it took being shot during a home invasion to inspire an epiphany in Game.

Inspired by N.W.A, The Chronic, Doggystyle, and classic albums from 2Pac, the Notorious B.I.G., and Jay-Z, Game began rapping in 2001 and never looked back.

His barbed and bold freestyles caught the ear of Dre, who signed him to Aftermath in 2003 and executive-produced his debut.

It was delayed a few times, but The Documentary finally dropped in January 2005.

Soon Game and 50 Cent were at war over the formers reluctance to beef with any and every enemy of G-Unit.

Freestyles and mixtapes were spawned in amazing amounts from both sides, and every time a truce seemed possible, things fell apart at the last minute.

Dre was stuck in the middle, and while he never publicly denounced Game, he passed on working with the rapper for his next effort.

Despite Dres absence, Games sophomore release kept its original title of Doctors Advocate when it was released in late 2006.

With fewer mentions of Dr.

Dre and 50 Cent, the uneven album found the rapper moving on from his previous obsessions.

After periods of retirement talk, the MC had a change of heart and began recording The R.E.D.

Album (R.E.D. Being short for rededicated).
