    pros: 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.

    It was an ok album. I think The Onion got it right; hes to big on naming classic rap albums. he looks up to NWA and the west coast to much. the production of the album was great but the lyrical value of it was weak.

    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.
