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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
