PatrickC.Aug 27, 2008I give him 2 for spelling his name correctly. Honestly: this must be some kind of record for name-dropping. This is among the least relevant and most derivative of any album this year, regardless of genre. GAME OVER.

LukeB.Aug 27, 2008Album Is Straight Classic - and the defining track is "angel" ft common, which will go down on history.

JuanAug 26, 2008The West coast is back. State of Emergency is dropping the Cali Tracks. LAX Files keeps Games style on the front. This album be hot son.

GusN.Aug 27, 2008Near classic album. The only thing that keeps it from being a 10 is at times excessive namedropping

JimF.Aug 29, 2008Unfortunately, not as good as the previous albums--something missing. My Life is the star, while plenty of dogs and many mediocre tracks. Overall, compared to Kanye, Common, and Lupe the gansta act is played out. Not enough originality for my liking.

WillPSep 3, 2008A solid album, I don't see what beef everyone has with this album. Maybe it isn't as inspired as his previous two albums, but it is definitely worth buying at least to bump for fun. If you get pleasure from an album, that's all you can ask for, and these stuck up critics can go EAT A DICK.

NateN.Aug 28, 2008I got this cd tuesday and cant stop listening to me the best track is LAX files and people bring up the nba name dropping name dropping to me is the names not meaning nothing but he uses similies to describe the names and all the songs are good.

PaulH.Aug 26, 2008Classic album, one of the best gangsta rap albums ever made. You get that Cali feeling and so much more.

ImrazK.Aug 27, 2008For the fans of west coast rap, lyricism and not selling out to be commercial this man is undeniable

Homerr.Aug 28, 2008Lax is the best cd That THE Game has put out his reviews seem to be weak cause the world is into the love and club songs now. Keep it gangsta.

Feb 4, 2012Great album and guests. who knew Nas & Common would be on the album. This album is worth listening to and buying. Game keep making more classics and bring back the West coast (Im from the east coast)

Apr 22, 2015Yet another near-perfect West Coast gangsta rap album by Game, who manages to keep up with his sharpness, aggressiveness and style on the mic. Even with the departure of Dre and 50 as producers, the beats are still dope as ever and the original Cali sound is still blaring through your headphones.

Add the "Jam on It" sample producer Nottz lays on "Ya Heard," the sultry backing track Scott Storch designed for "Let Us Live," and a superstar guest list that's a mile long, and this scattershot album is easy to recommend despite its flaws.
-
The Game goes surprisingly mellow in comparison to his first two efforts.
-
Problem is, much of this record is just Game keeping up with the Joneses: everything you'd expect from a 2008 rap album is here (Lil' Wayne guest spot; boring, '80s-styled Kanye track), and the stuff that makes him unique seems harder than ever to get at.
