DJ Haze has been behind a lot of bangin’ mixtapes over the past few years, highlighted by projects with Fat Joe, Nu Jerzey Devil, and, most notably, The Game. For the recently-released Black Wall Street Radio (Part 5) the dynamic duo has linked up once again. On Baggage Claim, production trio Cookin’ Soul whips up a perfect recipe of heavy bass riffs and signature Cali piano stabs over which Hurricane Game slides in a Jay-Z subliminal, shouts out Beyonce, and gets his Phil Jackson on for the Lakers. Of late, Game has hinted that he belongs on that ‘best lyricists list’, but the mixed reviews of his L.A.X. release haven’t solidified his spot. Regardless, with so much venom being spit from his corner, it’s safe to say that a retirement party won’t be needed any time soon.
1st!!!! Bass heavy beat is hot!! This is straight West Coast music!! Game's lyrics are not that much to talk about but his swagger and delivery make up for it. Not as good as his previous hits but this is a 3.5 rounded to 4
COOKIN SOUL SURE GOT THE INGREDIENTS RIGHT ON THIS BEAT,TYPICAL GAME RIPS ANYTHING HE STEPS ON,LYRICS ARE TIGHT "TELL KOBE TO RUN THE PLAY ON ME" BUMPING THIS ONE!!G G G G U KNOW
THE GAME!!! Hottest rapper right now (we'll see about TI on Tuesday). He has improved so much over his career. In other news... when will Jay respond? Game's been putting Jay or B in every song recently. And hold up, who said LAX wasn't lyrically incredible? That was dope. 3rd verse in Cali Sunshine is one of the best alltime
Name dropping is Game's thing. It's nothing new. He's the only one who can do it and not annoy me. "Shout out to LL for no f'in reason" LOL. This is decent Game track. Real lyric and aggressive, taking shots at people! He shoulda spit a joint like this on "L.A.X".
Yea this boy drop more names than a snitch. I guess this is y he gets so much love around the industry, because he shows so much. Game is improving alot. I'm digging how he switches up his flow often these days, experimenting with different rhythms. On a side not its almost Laker season. I'm ready are u? This is a good one, but the beat is alil too repetitive for me.
I really like his flow but I don't like the background music...it gives the song an effect of repetition and his flow, although very good, does not help avoiding this! Obviously the most important parts of an hip hop song are flow and lyrics, but if there's a chorus, or a bridge, it's better in my opinion
This is a mixtape track, if it was good enough to be placed on L.A.X. it would have. It wasn't... which means it made the mixtape. I love Game's ability to just say whatever he wants and not back down from it, that's NWA-like. However, this beat is repetitive and gets monotonous by the middle of the song. Dope mixtape, though!
Man I just heard this traxc on friday when i got the mixtape. this should have been his intro he spitting, and its a proven that he have haters cuz he would have put up wayne numbers but even jezzy less appeal album sold more than LAX. But yea watever im not buying that this @*#$! here bang.
I disagree with DJ Z comment about the traxc being a mixtape song. I think this as well as superman even tho the traxcs sound very much alike didn't fit wat he was trying to accomplish on his album. I try to figure it out why he went with the songs he went I heard a lot of traxcs that he recorded for the album and a lot of the traxcs could have went on the album this one included but I don't think it fit wat he was trying to accomplish on the album. In my opinion.
I agree as well. This certainly could have went on the album. I don't know who has the final say: Game or the label. But either way, IN MY OPINION, this joint could have replaced at least one joint from the album. That's just my two cents...and then some.
Artists record LOTS of songs. They place them on a CD and give them over to the label A&Rs;who then hand pick the joints they think would be ideal for the final cut. They meet with the artist, get their take on it, and poof... album in stores after 76 delays. Only artists who have complete say on their track choices are 10+ year 'A-lists' like Hova, Em, Dre...and Pac if he were still alive, haha.
I think Game have a lot of say in what goes on in his career now. I look at the album that he put out as a classic in my eyes ears whatever you want to call it. every traxc im starting to hear is fire from him only traxcs I heard lately from him that wasn't that good to me was camera phone and some people may like that he on point.
to know and understand that game came from a background where i grew up with is really cool so everything he saying might b true and possible can be where he was raised from cool song...
