    He also works hard to bring variety within the gargantuan two-and-a-half-hour running time with an all-star guest list. [Jan 2016, p.89]

    Documentary 2.5 is good but not better than its predecessors. This album was more serious, more emotional and had more beats similar to theDocumentary 2.5 is good but not better than its predecessors. This album was more serious, more emotional and had more beats similar to the early 2000's than Documentary 2 and some things work and some don't. The album starts off with a skit then starts with the song Magnus Carlse featuring Anderson Paak( who was the best feature in this album) the song is okay but seems to drag on with was one of the problems in this album. The album goes on with Crenshaw / 80s and Cocaine and Gang bang anyway which were also good then the emotional track The Ghetto with Nas and will.i.am which was one of the best tracks of the album. From adam was okay but slightly disappointing with Lil wayne being disappointing, The Album goes on consistent with mostly good tracks and some bad ones with Intoxicated which was the worst song of the album because some DJ will be just talking, The Album finishes off with el chapo which was also good. The Documentary 2.5 is truely for The Game's fans as he talks about his rough neighbourhood, being a father and being a gangster, there a a few fun tracks with Quiks Groove(BEST TRACK), Up the wall and outside. The best tracks are The Ghetto, Quiks Groove, Gang related and up the wall, while the worst tracks are Intoxicated, From Adam and Life.The best features are Nas, Will.i.am, Ty dolla $ign and everyone on Quiks Groove cause it was A SUPER FUN TRACK. Worst features lil wayne and everyone on Moment of violence. This album is emotional, falls flat at times but has a few fun tracks. This is a good Album not better than its predecessors but a good album with a The Game being at his best in a long while.… Full Review »
