Criticize The Game all you want for getting a tattoo on his face, for carrying a loaded gun to a basketball game or for continuing an age-old beef with 50 Cent (well past its time), but you can’t criticize the rapper, born Jayceon Taylor, for not showing an undying love and admiration for those who paved the way for his lucrative career. Off his forthcoming album, L.A.X., the Los Angeles born MC has hooked up with Keyshia Cole and producer Dahoud Darien on the next single, Game’s Pain. Similar to his flow on Start From Scratch (off The Documentary), Game alternates lines with different emphases, evoking a passion in his voice that is rarely heard in today’s rap world.
DAMN This is the best song DJBooth has featured in the past 3 weeks. The Game is undoubtely one of the best MCs in the game and I always love when he goes hard. Banger for sure!
What is it with everyone saying that The Game is one of the best in the GAME! Im one of the biggest Game haters out there lol, i cant stand him.. i dont know y.. i just never have liked him.. like a 50 Cent follower in my or something..
Flawless, And Game takes it to another level. This is what hip-hop is all about right here. Production is a 5/5, lyrics are a 5/5 and the story is just good sh*t. Im feeling this right here. We all know exactly what they are saying, regardless of how much. Sh*t is my new joint.
This is not bad. I never liked the Game that much, but he's making a believer out of me. I like the Ode to hip-hop and R&B. Keisha cole was nice on this track like a fitted baseball cap.
call 911 cause this song is FIREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!.....keyshia cole is great as always, game spits that true ish and the beat is real cool, this is great this is a instant classic
because Kayleb101, The Game has always been sick, whether with G-Unit or alone, he's always been sick and proved himself with great lyrics. His voice is so choice for LA too, which is y I rate him so much. He's my top 5 anyways, and this song is a pure banger, Keyshia ripped up last year for real for real.
Now this is a hot track! Love the lyrics, actually seems like a genuine homage to those that 'paved the way' for 'em. Always been a fan of the Game's flow, either during the unit days or solo. Pairing up with Keyshia (who's been laying down killer hooks lately definitely put this track onto another level.
DAM!! The Game is spitting that lyrical fire here digging tha beat 4sure scott storch really knows how 2 make the rite beat 2 suit certain rappers and this goes perfectly wit games solid flow..LAX gon be album of the year 4sho another big single 2 cum out from him..
The Game is "my man"! His flow is untouchable and, like he said himself on allhiphop interview, “(When I name drop) I do it for a reason. It helps me accent what I’m trying to say.” So I give him props for acknowledging that and keep doing his thing while showing respect for the legends. The beat is very good and Game blends in as always. Keyshia Cole was sweet and passionate, she has a great album due to her great voice (if she only had more hits…)! LAX is gon be (one more) classic.
Keyshia sounds great on here. I like the beat but the production is nothing special. This isn't a lyrically strong song from The Game. He doesn't sound as deep voiced or HARD on this track as usual. I honestly hope this is his final album as he has stated because to me; he is a bite-the-hand-that-feeds-you-A$$-Nigga! Plain and simple! This fact will never allow me to enjoy any songs by The Game to its fullest. This OK. Nothing I would play again actually...and its not the hater in me; I just don't like people who spit in the face of the people who got you where you are!
IM WIT EVERYONE EXCEPT THE HATERS,''THEY KNO WHO THEY ARE'', THE GAME DID HIS THING ON HERE AND HE BEEN STANDIN UP SINCE HIS DAYS WIT G-UNIT AND I THOUGHT HE WAS THE BEST OUT OF ALL THEM ANYWAYS BUT WEN HE SPLIT DAT JUS PUT HIM IN A LEAGUE BY HIMSELF...BUT OVERALL DIS IS GOOD. I LOVE KEYSHIA COLES SHE ALWAYS MAKES A SONG MORE BEAUTIFUL WIT HER VOICE..AND GAME IS JUS BEIN GAME SPITTIN REAL SHITY AND GETTIN HIS POINT ACROSS..IM NOT TRYIN 2 START NOTHIN BUT I THINK THE GAME IS SORTIN TAKIN A PAGE OUT OF 2PAC'S BOOK OF LYRICALLY TELLIN STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS!..BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SONG DJBOOTH HAD IN A LONG TIME...
DJ Blaze, what is your opinion of Young Buck now that he's no longer a member of G-Unit (and yes I know he's still on the G-Unit label)? How did Game spit in 50's face, just because he didn't want to beef with Ja Rule and Fat Joe??
LAX will not be album of the year man. Sorry. I rated this song a 5 here, but lets not overrate this dude too much. Remember that his last album was weak as hell, and he was hypin that. Game still has a long way to go to be considered one of my tops. Song is hot, but if anything were to bring this song down, it is definitely that Game lacks emotion in some parts of the song.
dj blaze what are u taking bout game spitting on 50 cent. 50 cent started the beef with game on the radio, and game responded cuz he didnt want to be disrespected. yeah i admit 50 help game but game help 50 too, beside game didnt want to be in gunit he rode with them cuz he mentor dr dre thought it would be a good idea
Where would The Game be right now if he wouldnt have signed with 50 and the rest of G-Unit though? Would he still be The Game that's making songs with Keyshia Cole or would he be The Game that's rapping everywhere he can just so he can be heard.. That's what Blaze is trying to point out, The way him and 50 are still beefing when 50's basically the one who got him higher in society so to speak, but still The Game just isnt my kind of person i like or would listen to.. Sorry.
Not everybody can relate to drug deals, shootouts, and all that. However, the music we listened to growing up is a HUGE part of our personality, which is why "Juicy" is a classic and I enjoyed "Bumpin' My Music"...Game comes hard on here, and Keysh's addition (with shoutouts to Mary J and a couple others I couldn't make out) enhanced the mood...That's the makings of a CLASSIC.
Great selection today-looks like the industry peoples knew today was Z's birthday...Happy birthday Z!
Producer: trackmasters, 50 and game thing is old blaze can't get over it when it didn't even envole him. don't rate or even come into a game song if you can't get over it
power 106 has been playing this track for a couple days but now i get to comment on it on the booth . this is an instant classic ,blaze honestly just stop hatin from now on dont even comment or rate games music any more man you are just all butt hurt cuz game is way better in the rap game than 50 yeah 50 knows how to make money but his rap game has been fallin off recently game is all bout respect he just aint about respect when he feels slighted but somebody (50)
This song is solid track from the Game. This is a track where u just rock ur head and reminisce on evrything he's talkin bout. Keyshia does a good job on the track as well.
im lovin this song... keishas voice is so full of emotion.. and games rhymes goin over all that throwback @*#$!... i swear to god the west coast is back!!
None of you guys know what you are talking about. Let's get it straight. Game was only kicked out of GUNIT because he decided to affiliate himself with Enemies of 50-cent. 50 didn't throw the first stone at Game. If someone gave you literally like $5 million are you going to go chill with that person's hated enemies? If you do; then you are a Coward. And that's how I see game. Now that Young Buck is no longer on GUNIT...I STILL LOVE YOUNG BUCK! He is the TRUTH and he spits the TRUTH! I think he is top 3 of all Southern Artists in the game today. And I am not hating...Go look at previous Game tracks and I am sure you will find some 3-star and some 4-star ratings. I just call the songs as I see it; and this one isn't all that! I honestly wouldn't play it back again! That's just my taste and thoughts on this one!
And Please Don't EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER compare this fake A$$ GAME character with the Tupac Shakur, the greatest rapper of all time. He is FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR from A Tupac Level....That is almost laughable!
DJ BLAZE couldnt have said it any better! Don't ever compare Game to 2Pac. 2Pac made songs like this ouit of his a**. This prolly wouldnt even make a Tupac Shakur album. Game should never be in the same sentence as 2Pac. There are prolly 2 other rappers that should be mentioned in the same sentence as him and maybe 5 at tops.
ok.. Game is no Pac but he is def harder than GUnit or 50 could ever be! Blaze you needa watch the game DVDs cause it seems like you don't know @*#$! about the beef.
And this @*#$! is fire!
DJ BLAZE, if someone gives me $5 million, I’m not gonna be their @*#$! for life and do whatever they want, even if it goes against my principles. It’s funny how you talk about this beef as if on one side you have 50 Cent, a philanthropist, lovable persona, who never did anything to make people turn their back on him (even if he gave’em money). That’s not the case and I don’t see why would you hear only 50’s side of the story and not Game’s. What if 50’s been lying all this time? Are you telling me that Game still shoulda stayed with him, for the money, no matter what crazy moves he comes with? And what’s so great about trying to end someone’s career like he does with Ja Rule (and every other rapper he knows is not that powerful)? And you say you can’t stand Game cuz he’s a coward?! What about 50 beating on someone who’s already on the ground?!
Copy/paste what FredRico says and put it here. Coward? Coward isn't what you call someone that does that. You're a coward when you're scared and won't face what you fear. Game's made 10x as many shots as 50 then 50 has to Game. If anything, 50's the coward for not shooting back, prolly cuz he knows there's waaaaay more Game funs then G-Unit and he can't afford any more loses to any big stars like Kanye. Sure, he's still going at Fat Joe, but he knows Fat Joe doesn't have as many fans that could turn their backs on 50 like other artists.
yea rite if you believe any of wat 50 represents in hip hop then i guess ur a snitch 2..so what if 50 brought game to prominence eminem broght him thru tha ranks likewise dr dre did to him you dont hear them bagging him in the media or putting him down like 50 did wen game was blowing up look at all the rappers u admire in hip hop nas,jadakiss,fat joe and wonder why they got beef wit 50 and they friends wit game who from the west cOast 50 cant cant get respect amoungst his own pairs and thats wit seperates the greats from the legends which game is currently aspiring to but by know means is 2pac..think wat u want but 50 and g unit is a product of his own dimise..
wow....jus listenin to da song n liked it. it had a nice chill vibe to it. not a big game fan but i thought dis one was nice. no opinion on game bout 50, cuz none of us kno da truth behind da bullshit dat da media wants us to believe. but im gonna agree wit fredrico bout dat $5 million thing, i wouldnt stay n b nobody @*#$! eitha...

Security please report to the DJ Booth!! It's about to jump-off in here. Don't worry Blaze.. I got ya back. lol P.S. The Game IS weak but this song isn't bad.
Blaze dont listen to these fools.. they dont listen..
Back to the 5 Million stage..
He was a Coward because like if someone did Pay him like 5 Mill. and he went to there enemies side it means hes a coward because he doesnt want to stay with the person who payed him the $5 Mill. because he thinks there enemies are just gonna strike back so he goes over to there side to make friends and get all goody goody with them.. I guess thats about the best i can explain it in my opinion..
This track has been on the radio for a week now and is doing well I realy like the combo of Game and Rnb singers so putting Keyshia on this with him makes it a classic 4 me.
Leave it up to Blaze to start a war, lol.....not to take sides or even comment on the fued in here......this is decent but this isnt anything special to me...not a fan of the "crying flow" that game uses on here
Alright just for everyone who said this song was GOOD i went and actually listened and payed attentin to the lyrics and everything about the song.
And ive got to say the lyrics are D@MN good!! I mean i didnt really pay attention to them before i just heard it and disregarded it.. but i dont really like the flow from Keyshia and the beat on this one.. sorry im still not a Game fan..
50 cent is a coward also, like i said some where else 50 didnt want game and buck to be more succesful than him so he keep them down even when they left gunit he began to beef with them(coward), because he doesnt like when people are more sucessful than him(look at the kanye competion, he said he would retire if he lost, but he didnt, he also a proven liar)..........back to the game leavin gunit i dont have a problem with it because he didnt want beef with ja rule and joe just because 50 had beef with them. if anything i gain respect for game because he didnt want to gang up on ja and fat joe like 50 want him to (if 50 is such a great rapper and a man why did he need help, besides he started the beefs with ja and joe(look at all the beefs 50 has started since he been in the rap game he does it to keep people talking bout him so he can stay revelent because he cant do it with his music, kinda like how we are talking bout hiim now)...........question who the real coward a man that beefs with someone by theirselve or someone who need their homeboi help to beat someone
i like this track this is tha 1st time i heard keyshia cole and didnt really care for what she was sayin' st8 tuned her out her piece coulda been better she wasnt needed on here at all but OVERALL tha game- i like what you were sayin'
