The Game - what's the big deal?

[Greatest_D]

What's the big hype over The Game? Everywhere I go I hear "Damn, The Game brought the West back. That's why I feel him" I'm like seriously? THAT's the guy you want bringing back the West? Then I read about people everywhere saying he's top 5 artists. Say what?!? I'll admit his voice is cool, and I'll even admit his flow is more than above average. But seriously, the man couldn't rhyme to save his life. Isn't rhyming at least 50% of what makes an MC? Then I hear about his albums being classics. Whoa! Illmatic, Lifestyles ov da poor and dangerous, Rip The Jacker, Reflection Eternal were classics. As far as I can see, these had unbelievable lyricism. This guy relies on name-dropping and production. He's in his late 20's, you'd think he'd have learnt to write a half decent rhyme by now.

Am I the only one who doesn't see what the big deal over this guy is? And let's try and not turn this into a name-calling contest like I've seen threads like this become before.

I agree for the most part. Game is no amazing lyricist or anything, but he does have a lot of good songs that I enjoy listening...regardless of content. You basically have to laugh it off when you see someone call him "top 5 in the game" or whatever you were referring to. I just take artists like that for face value...enjoy the songs but understand that they are in no way, shape or form the best at what they do.

I don't care...

His music sounds good...
I wouldn't say he's the greatest, but his albums are ****in good..

He's not the King of LA or anything like that but he has wicked flow, a cool ass voice, and production teams to back him up. I could care less how good his lyrics are as long as he is spitting some gangster **** and has those beats to back it up. I really have listened to the Doctor's Advocate everyday since it came out and it still hasn't gotten old.

Can't wait until his next release!

Maybe I am the only one? Lol. This is a lot better than the argument I had once with someone who tried to convince me that The Game is better than Big L was!
