Game - M.I.A. | Listen

Amidst Drake’s debut and countless other “freshmen” offerings, one major rapper has been largely out of the spotlight the last couple of years. We’ve heard relatively little from Game, even considering his 20-minute freestyle and a smattering of singles (Shake, Ain’t No Doubt About It). At this point, I don’t know whether The R.E.D. Album is coming out or if it’s in a magical wilderness where copies of Detox ride on unicorns. What I do know is that Game will be dropping off his Brake Lights mixtape this week, produced entirely by Miami super-duo Cool & Dre. Accordingly, today we present you the first leak, M.I.A., where he cleverly relates his three “heats” (a.k.a. firearms) to the newly formed trio in Miami. My favorite tracks from The Game have been his collaborations with Cool & Dre, so I’m glad they linked up again for the track’s slowly pacing beat, and lyrically Game hasn’t changed his raspy flow a bit on M.I.A.. Are you digging M.I.A.? Good, because it looks like Brake Lights will have to tide fans over until The R.E.D. Album finally emerges from the ether.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11866	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs This is a shame. Cool & Dre drop off some excellent production work for the Game to kill and he turns in a bored, stale, and sickly effort like M.I.A. Is this the same emcee that dropped two GREAT albums to kick off his career less than six years ago? Follow @DJBooth

x20nickel Tastemaker Total Ratings: 394	Rating: x20nickel's Top Rated Songs Excellent production and failing artist. I thought something new was comming since he dropped that long ass freestyle but nope same old game. Shame Cool & Dre has beats for days.

joshL Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1675	Rating: joshL's Top Rated Songs obviously its a mixtape track, but not bad. after his poor recent offerings i dont expect him to jus a hit a switch and turn on fire. so, this is a good way to start up the positive hype for himself again. btw, using Cool and Dre to help out dont hurt either.

scotty_donahugh DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 6	Rating: scotty_donahugh's Top Rated Songs 3 stars for the beat. This is one of those beats where anyone can sound good on it. (The) Game has been in a slump lately. To be honest, at this point, I don't see him getting a single that actually gets played anytime soon. It's a shame, cause he was coming along so well. I really don't have any idea how he fell from grace so quickly.

Co-Sign3 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 637	Rating: Co-Sign3's Top Rated Songs Before I start, the production was dope.... but Game has FELL OFF HARD!! The Documentary/Doctors Advocate Game would RIP a track like this!! I have no hope left for the R.E.D Album :( The beat was wasted on Game, Cool & Dre should have given this to Kanye, i could picture him killing this!

jaydeemorgan DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 213	Rating: jaydeemorgan's Top Rated Songs The production is good, and definitely the best part. Game dissapoints me lyrically...once again. DJ Z described it well: Game sounds bored, stale and sickly. Game's songs from the R.E.D. Album don't seem like the same Game. I liked his first 3 albums, but he needs to step his game up [no pun intended].

Nathan S. DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 2476	Rating: Nathan S.'s Top Rated Songs Some of the Game's recent work has been absolutely cringe-worthy (that P**sy Fight song was a travesty), so in comparison this was decent, but compared to what he's capable of it's far from his best. The production's a lot smoother than we usually hear from Cool & Dre, but Jayceon can't flip it into a truly engaging track.

Bosnian Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1142	Rating: Bosnian's Top Rated Songs @J.S. from the Tac: Just thinking about that. He sounds exactly like Rick Ross on this one. :D Since I listen to Game since Documentary, I'm very disappointed and angry, and Game just keeps falling in my FAvourite mc's list.

DJ Rater Tastemaker Total Ratings: 959	Rating: DJ Rater's Top Rated Songs @x20nickel i agree. i also thought that 20 minute freestyle was a good sign but this just is a dagger to the heart of all hardcore Game fans.. Cool & Dre are wasting their beats on this mixtape. give them to someone who will create something special out of them!

RyanSx Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1222	Rating: RyanSx's Top Rated Songs I like the game, but I honestly do not know what happened to the man. This song wasn't bad. The production was great and Game was decent on his verses and hook. He's started to sound like Shyne with that raspy voice of his. Maybe it's just an accent he is trying to pull off. All together, it wasn't great and it wasn't horrible.

Sick production on here, but Game doesn't deliver his normal flow. The chorus is pretty cool though. I can throw this in rotation...its not that bad. Follow @djblaze_djbooth

XuUP17 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 692	Rating: XuUP17's Top Rated Songs I loved the production personally. Cool hook. The verses were disappointing. I don't have a preference on his voice, but I think its funny how he has a grizzly, hoarse voice, and then his normal one.
