The Game "It's not a shoe.....It's MY shoe"


May 17, 2007 | Tags: Hip Hop, West Coast, whack, Game

     I normally blog like every 4 days, I wanna cut that down to every other day, but I've been extremely busy preparing for finals. Normally I don't stress tests. I actually like them. (it gives me another opportunity to prove I'm better than everyone else.....j/k....no I'm not). However, my classes seemed so easy to me, I got bored and started slacking. Now I have to get my stuff together for these tests to make sure I end with A's. With all this frustration....someone has to pay.



"If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hating"
Common "The 6th sense"



     First of all, let me start by saying I love west coast music. I wish I was able to leave it at that, but the fact of the matter is, when I say I love west coast music, I'm already knowing your thinking of dudes with khakis and low riders throwing up gang signs. What the idiots everywhere seem to not know, is there's alot more than that going on out here. We got Dilated Peoples, Hieroglyphics, Self Scientific, Cypress Hill, Murs, Living Legends,  Strong Arm Steady, The Liks, Planet Asia and Rasco (Cali Agents) etc, etc.  The only thing that makes me more upset than someone from somewhere else trying to say that's all there is out here, is someone FROM here acting like that's all there is out here. Hence my extreme "dislike" for mister Jayceon.



     While Game isn't the first one to embrace the stereotypical west coast artist role, he's probably the biggest fraud (with the exception of his role model Dr. Dre) and most overrarted to do so. Before I get into how dude is not "gangsta" let me ask a question. Has anybody actually listened to his music? No, I mean listened to it. It's not that tight. First of all, a bunch of punchlines doesn't equal tight lyrics. I don't care what some random ass mixtape "DJ" (just because you throw "DJ" in front of your name, that doesn't mean your a DJ. If that was true, I'd throw Dr. in front of my name, and go get some of that Dr. paper) tells you. If punchlines was what hip hop was all about, we'd be calling Big L the greatest of all time by far, and we'd argue all day about who's the greatest alive Cassidy, Joe Budden, or Lil Wayne. Dude's punchlines aren't all that tight anywayz. When he's not kicking whack ass punchlines, he's name dropping. Dude drops names WAAAAAAaaaYYyy too much. I think he said MY name in a couple of verses. There's more names in a Game verse than in a chapter out of a history book. The only difference is the history book is alot closer to the truth. (and history books are far from the truth) Speaking of being far from the truth.......here's Some real hardcore stuff.



"That's so not gangsta"
Riley "The Boondocks"



     I'm pretty sure most of you have already seen this. That's mister super blood right there. notice the rag hanging out of his pocket? Oh you don't? That's because it's not there. I knew before I seen this a long time ago dude was fake. I'm not saying that everyone who raps has to be a super gangsta, shot 20 people, and have been to jail 2 times. The thing is though, when you rap about that shit, don't show the negative side of it, and have never lived it, what are you doing? Advertising bullshit like it's the life to live to impressionable kids everywhere. I know we have a freedom of speech, and I also know it's a parents responsibility to raise there own kids, but that's not an excuse to pollute the airwaves with bullshit you don't really know anything about. 



   My biggest problem with dude is....he's not that dope. In all honesty, I liked "The Documentary". I thought it had some good songs on it. "Hate it or Love it" "Dreams", you can't deny there was some good shit on there. When Game left G-unit and 50 started saying he wrote alot of that shit, I thought "oh well, fuck it, time will tell, dude will drop another album, and the truth will come out". Well....he did drop another album, and the truth did come out. The truth is even though what most people view as 50's second album "The Massacre" was Garbello Anthony (garbage), what was actually his third cd (his first being "Power of the Dollar" his second being "Get Rich or Die Trying) "The Documentary" was one of his best works. That cd had 50 all over it, and he should've kept those tracks for his own cd.



"I call a spade a spade, it just is what it is"
Jay-Z "Blueprint 2"



     You can talk shit all you want, but I'm just keeping it real. If I really wanted to diss dude, I would've said how one of my homegirls favorite strippers died, and dude (Jayceon) showed up to the funeral, and threw a tantrum cuz they wouldn't let him speak. (Oopps, did I say that again, I keep letting that slip out). I'm not upset that dude took flight on Ras Kass and I haven't heard real music from Ras since. (I still listen to "Soul On Ice" "Rassasination" and "Institutionalized") I'm just a dude with an opinion stating it, if you don't like it.....oh well.



Go out and support real west coast hip hop, buy that "Dogg Food" by Dogg Pound.
