Yeah, the 2Pac reference I made is because The Game has the same sort of duality in his lyrics that I've always loved about Pac. If you think of Pac as having his two sides: "I Get Around" vs "Keep Ya Head Up" or thuggish gangsta rapper vs pentive poet. The Game has that same sort of humanistic element where he might spit the most ridiculous threats on one track, but then drunkinly cry out because he's upset that his mentor (Dre) has all but abandoned him. The pinnacle of this complexity is evident on DOCTORS ADVOCATE, which is why it's a stunning and necessary album in his discography. But even on the new album there's like the track with Cube where The Game is violent and agresive and then the track with Lil Wayne which is so solemn and mournful. I think The Game is often overlooked, but he's far more well rounded than the G-Unit he left behind.
