Thanks again for having me on Anthony and thank you to everyone who supports my channel and/or has checked it out! Special shout-out to Ultra Magnus. He went out like a G in the 80s! NEVER FORGET.
+Luke James (Album Reviews) Hey Luke, and Anthony. I'm curious do you guys have notes you're sort of reading off, specifically Anthony do you generally jot down stuff for these collaborations?
+BLVCK LORD I liked Game's verse more, the beat was just haywire at that point and Game kept up with that tone. All of them did their thing for sure on that track though.
When I heard "murk you at Denny's" I immediately bought a glock and a bandana and started patrolling the streets Side note: I live in suburban Minnesota
i'm just going to forget that documentary 2 exists and keep listening to 2.5. great narrative and sense of cohesion for the most part and most of the songs are dope af. nothing like the compilation that the first disk was. feeling something like a strong 7 to a very light 8.. and again, great collab!
THE KILLUMINATI those were actually some of my fav tracks on the album except for mula but there are a couple of really awful songs like hashtag, dedicated and a few others. it doesn't work that well as an album imo
+Ali Anvarian Thanks a lot! I'm glad to know that people enjoy these collabos because I understand how a lot of people just want to see Anthony. It's awesome how he gives us other reviewers the opportunity!
Would love to see more collabs on future hip-hop releases with you two, it goes over really well and is super enjoyable to watch! does not even feel like a 27 min video
Dear Anthony. Im sorry for repeating myself. I feel strongly that you might like Huminoita's album named All is Two. Interesting mixture of many genres (indie/post/progressive/jazz/rock/etc) It would be interesting to hear your opinion of it. Thanks.
I have no idea where 2.5 came from. I consider it like an album of bonus tracks. Documentary 2 was a fantastic album and 2.5 just isn't really up on the same level in my opinion.
Documentary 2.5 ROCKED. Holy shit. It's so much better than Documentary 2. Totally took me by surprise. I love a lot of the songs on here, like Gang Bang Anyway, Crenshaw, El Chapo, My Flag, Moment of Violence, Outside... Like Father, Like Son 2 was the worst moment. Just out of cheesiness, but that had to do with his kids lol But I'd say an 8/10 as well. GREAT ALBUM.
anthony, can you discuss the impact emotional lyrics have on people liking a song/album. I think its more of a concern with artists like J.Cole and MGK (especially mgk who has a big following somehow) i think its kinda manipulative at some levels, what do you think?
+Luke James (Album Reviews) That song bumped. I hadn't heard DJ Quik like that in a while. On evry Quik album he had a Quiks Groove which was a ode to Zapp and Rodger who influenced him.
2.5 should have been the only disc, it shits all over the first disc its not even funny, its has g-funk with mix of new school sound, the content an features were perfect, this is almost worth the buy... 8.5/10 and 7 for doc 2
Great review. Great album, I'm a huge Game fan and was skeptical that he couldn't live up to the hype of the original Documentary. Exceeded my expectations.
I like and am subscribed to both your Accounts, but the Quality of the audio is super annoying on these colabs .-. Anyone else feel the same? Is there something you can do about it Fantano?
Started the review got surprised listen to some of the main songs then went back to the review and I agree was nice to wake up and have some good tunes To bump too good review
Good review. In my opinion, "To Pimp a Butterfly" integrated G-Funk in a more creative and innovative way than either Documentary 2 or 2.5. Although I do love moments from these albums, in a way, I think Game is mimicking pieces of Kendrick's production.
+Cole Quartuccio mimicking pieces? This dude is trying to take the whole pie. Also notable mimicks : B.I.G. , Kendrick Lamar, Drake, 05 Kanye, Jay Rock ect
I love the song The Ghetto. NaS and The Game were so good and the beat was great. Reminded me a bit of the Animals beat from Compton. I love 4 songs on the 1st CD,Don't Trip,Step Up,The Documentary 2 and On Me. Songs I hate are Circles,that song with Drake,the song with Future and Mula with Kanye West(dude ruined the shit with his whack ass singing)
How I look at it is The Documentary 2 is a straight gangster rap album throwback to The og Documentary having the legends Dre and Ice cube, where as the Documentary 2.5 is a more personal Game story telling album see why Game chose to have Like Father Like Son on 2.5
Anthony ! Bro ! You don't know who DJ Easy Dick is ? W Balls ? That was who Snoop Dogg used in his albums when he was first coming up ! I think it was awesome that Game brought him back .
Best album in years! Documentary 2.5 and Marshall Mathers LP 2 are my 2 favorite rap albums in years....Documentary 2.5 has a classic West Coast sound kind of reminds me of Snoop's "Doggystyle"...almost every track is fire...I find it funny that Documentary 2.5 is better than Dre's "Compton". Favorite tracks: "Moment of Violence", "Outside", "Crenshaw", "The Ghetto", "Up on the Wall", "Like Father, Like Son 2", "Quiks Groove" Least Favorite: "My Flag", "El Chapo" I don't know how people can't like "Moment of Violence"...it's gangsta rap... I wonder what the single for Documentary 2.5 will be...I hope not "El Chapo"...
Game said it before, the Documentary 2 was for Hiphop fans, 2.5 was for Game fans
+MrKing8050 even though things sound like the exact opposite of that. documentary 2.5 feels like an album, documentary 2 feels like a compilation.
+DihStyle69 I think he's trying to say it feels less commercial and mainstream and more harder and more shows og rapping
Impatiently waiting for The Documentary 2.75
Thanks again for having me on Anthony and thank you to everyone who supports my channel and/or has checked it out! Special shout-out to Ultra Magnus. He went out like a G in the 80s! NEVER FORGET.
+WRESTLINGFAN NERD3:16 Yo! Did you watch HIAC last night?
***** I wasn't expecting that at all! I'm interested to see how him and Zeb will work.
+Luke James (Album Reviews) (unrelated) CAN YOU REVIEW MGK GENERAL ADMISSION?
dondewan Working on that one today!
+Luke James (Album Reviews) Hey Luke, and Anthony. I'm curious do you guys have notes you're sort of reading off, specifically Anthony do you generally jot down stuff for these collaborations?
Jay Rock's verse on "Gang Bang Anyway" that's all I have to say
+BLVCK LORD I liked Game's verse more, the beat was just haywire at that point and Game kept up with that tone.
All of them did their thing for sure on that track though.
When I heard "murk you at Denny's" I immediately bought a glock and a bandana and started patrolling the streets
Side note: I live in suburban Minnesota
Samuel Simerson 💀
Samuel Simerson 🍆💦💦
you again?
I just wish Anderson Paak would get more recognition.
+Danny Stevens I really like what he did on here and Compton!
+Danny Stevens I agree but I think he needs a better project. I don't know about his other stuff but Venice was meh
***** Same I first heard him on Compton he's brilliant
Spencer Cook I enjoyed Venice.
Danny Stevens so did I, but I also think he's capable of sooooo much more
Shit, I didn't know DJ Envy from The Breakfast Club did album reviews 😂
DEAD. YOOOOUUUUUU
+Braeden Hysuick Not even close
+Ace Legacy The Breakfast Club is a radio show, not the movie.
LMAOOOOOO nigggaaaaaaa thought about the movie

+Tobias Moggeridge let's ( clap )(clap) fucking go.
+ABrock777 It's Break Time!!!! [eats vegan falafel]
+DLilly *Chugs glass of apple juice*.
He didn't do 2.5 review tho
my favorite track on this one was El Chapo
I've bought all of Game's albums hard copy and I gotta say this his third best album to me...Doc 1, LAX, and Doc 2.5. Eight outta 10.
+Justin Malone you didnt like doctors advocate ?
Dear Anthony. Im sorry for repeating myself. I feel strongly that you might like Huminoita's album named All is Two. Interesting mixture of many genres (indie/post/progressive/jazz/rock/etc) It would be interesting to hear your opinion of it. Thanks.
+Tor Hansen I recommend that
Great album!
Nice reviews, gentleman! I've subscribed to your channel Luke James!!!
+bml2007 Thank you, and welcome!
I just lost,
You just lost,
We all just lost
The Game
+Ben Aaron damn dude i hadn't thought of it since 2008 hahaha
+Medard Stello never forget.
its awesome to see luke getting the recognition he deserves
Love when you bring guests on the show to give another interesting propective
Am i the only one who enjoyed Doc 2 more than Doc 2.5?
Yes, you're the only one
***** Exactly my thoughts
+NickBeeProds Doc 2 was more exciting, 2.5 was a bit of a drag
+Anesu Chimkupete doc 2.5 is meant to sit down and just listen , where else 2 had bangers
I have no idea where 2.5 came from. I consider it like an album of bonus tracks. Documentary 2 was a fantastic album and 2.5 just isn't really up on the same level in my opinion.
Documentary 2.5 ROCKED. Holy shit. It's so much better than Documentary 2.
Totally took me by surprise. I love a lot of the songs on here, like Gang Bang Anyway, Crenshaw, El Chapo, My Flag, Moment of Violence, Outside...
Like Father, Like Son 2 was the worst moment. Just out of cheesiness, but that had to do with his kids lol
But I'd say an 8/10 as well. GREAT ALBUM.
EL CHAPO is the anthem of this album
your comment section is just a giant meme
Sadly. Fuck everyone
***** Yeah, the question "Is this a meme?" is a meme in itself.
***** Yup
***** No kidding, they really are
Drake's
Jay Rock's verse was crazy!! TDE never fails to impress.
anthony, can you discuss the impact emotional lyrics have on people liking a song/album. I think its more of a concern with artists like J.Cole and MGK (especially mgk who has a big following somehow) i think its kinda manipulative at some levels, what do you think?
This is my second favorite Game album, behind the original Documentary and just better than Doctors Advocate.
El Chapo lmao
El em mah oh
I am the god
Fire
I still liked the track (mostly because I actually do like edm)
+Wazuponthebus Manderson i do like it, it's not edm tho
+Oscar Buelna sorry it is more trap
Drinking game; take 1 shot every time The Game 'name drops'.
+ipZyy HAHAHAHHA!!!!!!
So listen to the Documentary 2 and get alcohol poisoning? Sounds like a plan 😂
you'll destroy your liver dude
+ipZyy RIP
+ipZyy he's been doing that since he came out, iv'e always found that really annoying
200th like! I've been waiting for this review
Can't believe that track with dj quik wasn't even mentioned.
My favorite track by far.. Then again, dj quik is one of my favorite artists of all time 🖕
+vargasyabish I talked about it and said it was one of my favorite tracks! DJ Quik is a legend!
+Luke James (Album Reviews) That song bumped. I hadn't heard DJ Quik like that in a while. On evry Quik album he had a Quiks Groove which was a ode to Zapp and Rodger who influenced him.
Album Review of the year! Also is it kind of weird that I started watching Luke James before Anthony?
Ididthany 911tano
2.5 should have been the only disc, it shits all over the first disc its not even funny, its has g-funk with mix of new school sound, the content an features were perfect, this is almost worth the buy... 8.5/10 and 7 for doc 2
Great review Anthony! Love your work
I thought gangbang was just a porn category...
Wales!
2015:
-To Pimp a Butterfly
-Compton
-Straight Outta Compton (film)
-The Documentary 2. This year definitely belongs to the West Coast :D
I loved this album and would like to get into The Game, but I'm not sure what other albums to get. Any recommendations?
Did you dive deep into his discography yet?
Are you gonna review the new Joe Budden record?
Great review. Great album, I'm a huge Game fan and was skeptical that he couldn't live up to the hype of the original Documentary. Exceeded my expectations.
what did you think of El Chapo.. the bonus track??
I like and am subscribed to both your Accounts, but the Quality of the audio is super annoying on these colabs .-. Anyone else feel the same? Is there something you can do about it Fantano?
Great review you should review unsigned groups every once in awhile that would be cool
lol Game has 2 songs named "Just Another Day"
The one on Dr. Dres Compton and the one on Documentary 2
He also has two songs called 'the soundtrack' lmao
Started the review got surprised listen to some of the main songs then went back to the review and I agree was nice to wake up and have some good tunes To bump too good review
The production on Gang Bang Anyway is one of the greatest things I've heard this year. Props to Game.
Luke James best brows in the game.
el chapo was the best song on this album
Lol
Nah for me was that one with lil Wayne
Good review. In my opinion, "To Pimp a Butterfly" integrated G-Funk in a more creative and innovative way than either Documentary 2 or 2.5. Although I do love moments from these albums, in a way, I think Game is mimicking pieces of Kendrick's production.
+Cole Quartuccio mimicking pieces? This dude is trying to take the whole pie. Also notable mimicks : B.I.G. , Kendrick Lamar, Drake, 05 Kanye, Jay Rock ect
+Christopher Brand etc* 🐸☕️
I think you're wrong about that .. completely different sounds. Defiantly not copying Kendrick.
The DJ skits were gotten from Snoop's Doggystyle album
Do a review for General Admission 😥
you took your sweet time with this review
how in the world did game make the second CD better. that almost never happens. wtf? i'm so confused haha.
He should've put el chapo after magnus carlsen. That's the only thing I'd change
The Documentary 2.5 Remix only on Ps4, if you preorder now you get the red camo Ak-47
wasnt 2.5 supposed to be throwaway tracks/compilation? 10x more cohesive than the first disc lol
am I the only one that thinks that documentary 2 is better than 2.5?
+Ever Verduzco no
The question is, should I buy 2.5 and 2 or just 2.5?
Yup thats what I did. I didn't buy 2
+The Real Legend (Brandon Finley) Why wouldn't you buy both?
+mapletown11 because doc 2.5 is better and I wanted to save money to buy other albums
i would buy both just for havin the complete thing, but youll only need 2.5
yo what was with the normal ass intro Anthony? i've grown accustomed to your bizarre intros
so much audible static in the beginning of the audio -- please use a stronger noise filter/gate next time!
Azizi Gibson?
Up on the wall is by far my favourite track on this.
+JBC Jackson oh fuck yeeeeesssssssssssss!!!!
Anthony, plz review some dancehall music
All together this was a solid project !!
nice job Anthony and friend
I wish this came out in the Summer so bad...this the album of the year
review cage the elephant's new song "mess around"?? I think the band seems to be taking a new percussive approach. you?
It was amazing. Better than TPAB imo
I love the song The Ghetto. NaS and The Game were so good and the beat was great. Reminded me a bit of the Animals beat from Compton. I love 4 songs on the 1st CD,Don't Trip,Step Up,The Documentary 2 and On Me. Songs I hate are Circles,that song with Drake,the song with Future and Mula with Kanye West(dude ruined the shit with his whack ass singing)
I preferred My Flag on My Flag/Da Homies. Da Homies part was just... ahhhh. I loved the whole album tho', 8.5 for me. Documentary 2 got a 7 from me.
this has me excited about supreme clientele 2
an 8? higher than the vince staples album? might be worth checking out
2.5 is classic & should of been the original dc2
please do mgk general admission 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Seriously offended you haven't reviewed General Admission
How I look at it is The Documentary 2 is a straight gangster rap album throwback to The og Documentary having the legends Dre and Ice cube, where as the Documentary 2.5 is a more personal Game story telling album see why Game chose to have Like Father Like Son on 2.5
this album is so good
Nice review, you guys are awesome! The Doc 2.5 is amazing, ESPECIALLY Gang Bang Anyway. *_*
+VΔKΔMΔ Thank you!
Gang Bang Anyway the best song on here point blank
"about all the different ways he eats vaginas" LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO true
i completely agree with this review
Anthony ! Bro ! You don't know who DJ Easy Dick is ? W Balls ? That was who Snoop Dogg used in his albums when he was first coming up ! I think it was awesome that Game brought him back .
Life is my favorite track on The Documentary 2.5
2.5 was so much better than 2.
+John Capili by faaaaarrrr
That's 187.4 on your FM dial.... If you're lickin that's, W-Balls
Best album in years! Documentary 2.5 and Marshall Mathers LP 2 are my 2 favorite rap albums in years....Documentary 2.5 has a classic West Coast sound kind of reminds me of Snoop's "Doggystyle"...almost every track is fire...I find it funny that Documentary 2.5 is better than Dre's "Compton".
Favorite tracks: "Moment of Violence", "Outside", "Crenshaw", "The Ghetto", "Up on the Wall", "Like Father, Like Son 2", "Quiks Groove"
Least Favorite: "My Flag", "El Chapo"
I don't know how people can't like "Moment of Violence"...it's gangsta rap...
I wonder what the single for Documentary 2.5 will be...I hope not "El Chapo"...
