Feb 4, 2012This is a classic album. hip-hop needs people like The Game To revive hip-hop and the westcoast. The Game is on a mission to bring back West Coast back to fame and he's going to do it if he creates classics like The Documentary & L.A.X.
-
Apr 22, 2015Instant classic album, it is extremely well crafted thanks to a spectacular production by 50 cent and Dre and aggressive, sharp and gangster rhymes from the Compton native Game. West Coast rap was brought back to life with this album.

Mar 5, 2019Definitely a classic debut album from The Game back in 2005. I Highly Recommended it.

ReggieHFeb 10, 2005Its an average CD that had lots of marketing so it blew up. He talks too much about other rappers, just get your own foo. L Block Northern Cali.

klMar 23, 2005pros: Hate it or love it is awesome!!! cons: how we do is toooo generic overview: just a dime from being being good, this album, though not excellent, will satisfy 50 cent fans.

antoineantoineMar 4, 2005i agree this cd definitely had lots of marketing so it blew up but Game's cd is sooo sick and it also hasnt left my car's cd player and i've had it for about 3 weeks and i dont think its leaving anytime soon

MajaSApr 7, 2005Game is good but he has to stop thinking that he is going to change hip-hop so quickly. He needs to stop acting like a child and get serious. He's name-dropping too much and there's nothing classic about that. He wouldn't be so succesful without a lot of help from 50. However, the production is great. Best song - Dreams.

NahannKAug 20, 2005Thsi album was well put together, t contains the amazing songs Hate IT Or LOve It, igher, How We Do, Start From Scratch, and Put You On The Game, and is packed with high-quality raps like Westside Strory and The Documentary. Who produced it isn't as noticable as who's talking, and that's obvious when you listen to the songs above.

RileyFDec 25, 2005An absolutely brilliant album. A lot better than anything G-Unit put out this year. The production is excellent and the only bad song is Don't Worry featuring Mary J. Blige.

AndyLDec 4, 2005This is fuckin amazin. One of my all-time favourite albums, just under the awesome Dr Dre.

CelinaSJan 25, 2005Even though The Game hasn't been in the "game" for long, he's shown everyone he has the skills to make this badass cd he's put together and ofcourse I give it a 10 because I just love The Game and I think his cd is the best.

[Anonymous]Mar 21, 2005Great rapper, great producer = great album. Despite the fact he doesn't want to talk shit about some rappers 50 hates.

stevenkMar 9, 2005i thought it was a good rap album it could have had better beats to bounce to he shouldn't of had kayne west do a song that just shot tha shit out of it he made to pop and gospel

VinceH.Apr 11, 2005Easily the best mainstream hip hop album since Kanye West. The new 50 or Em cd's don't even come close, and unless Dre hurries up in the studio and releases "Detox" before years end, it will remain to be the best (at least until the new J5 or Dilated). Great production and lyrics, just get the damn thing!.

Awards & Rankings
-
The most remarkable aspect of the Game is how he can be such a blatant product of gangsta rap (okay, let's say fanboy) and leave a mark so fast.
-
It doesn't even matter much that he's a B minus rhyme spitter, or that he spends way too much studio time name dropping.
-
Amazingly solid.
