LAX (Los Angeles Times) [PA] - Game (The)

Advantages: 'My Life', 'Money', 'Cali Sunshine'
Disadvantages: 'Bulletproof Diaries', 'Ya Heard', 'Let Us Live'

...Intro ft. DMX (1.21) *02, LAX Files (3.59), 4* One thing you have been able to bank on with The Game after his previous projects is that he shall record a track that will feature the title of the album, and what I am happy about with 'LAX Files' is that it comes literally, right at the beginning of the album and really informs you of his intentions on the album. 'LAX' is an emotional track, but with an interesting effect added to the vocals on ...
...and 'My Life' shows what LAX truly is all about, as it features man of the moment in the shape of Lil Wayne (who currently holds the record for this years best selling album). 'My Life' has fast became my song of the summer, although it is almost over, and earnt legendary status in my mind for its powerful lyrics and any song that reminds me of Tupac Shakur's 'Ghetto Gospel' deserves an incredible amount of praise. Whilst I am not trying to say that ... Read review

Advantages: Highly varied
Disadvantages: A couple of tracks weren't as strong as the rest

"L.A.X."(Life and Times) is the third, and supposedly final, album by the Compton rapper, The Game. I say 'supposedly' because many rappers have claimed to be retiring in the past, but it doesn't happen too many of those times, so I doubt that an artist with only three albums under his belt and a record label with no mainstream artists will just call it quits. 1. "Intro" 2. "LAX Files" The Game kicks the album off in a big way as he challenges ...
...of waht it's like to be subject to a Gangsta lifestyle; where your life is constantly under threat. With a haunting piano to back it up and the utilisation of the screwed techinque, you feel intimidated by the lyrics which he comes out with, making those who it is directed to question whether they should continue to do so. **Three Stars** 3. "State Of Emergency" (feat. Ice Cube) Finally, The Game gets a chance to rap alongside his life-long favourite ... Read review

Advantages: Some quality tracks and banging beats.
Disadvantages: formulaic, too many guest appearances.

So, The Game is back. After the initial success of The Documentary and the relative success of the sequel, The Doctors Advocate, Game returns with his third, and supposedly final, LP - LAX, Los Angeles Times, to give it it's full title. After having been pushed back from its July 26th, original release date, I have to admit I was very keen to see what the album had in store for us this time. While it would be true to say that Game doesn't disapoint, ...
...album fulfilled all my expectations. The major flaw seems to be that he just has not grown as an artist - in fact, many of the songs are interchangeable from the previous two albums. There are definitely some classics mixed in, with gentlemans affair, my life, games pain and money being stand out, head nodding tracks. It is fair to say; however, that game has definitely chosen two of the best songs to release as singles, in Games Pain and My life. ... Read review
