HipHopDX great to get a new Album & Full length interview from The Game.
My #1 favorite rapper.
None be yourself Playboi
Doctors advocate and lax were my fave but I like his mixtape oke too and Jesus peice was good too and I actually liked his block wars project from his game wish they could’ve talked bout dat
I knew most of these things from early on, interesting to find out about the others.
@@mattesteves8110 what's wrong with game? He's a dope mc
Real talk. This probably one of the best Game's interviews. You can tell the interviewer is a real fan of Game unlike other interviewers.
Can't believe I watch this whole interview. Watched like 20-25 minutes, went out then came back and saw the rest cuz it just went by so smooth. And I never really watch interviews over 10 min or even follow The game music that much.
I think its the fact that Game is articulate and actually make sense when he talks compare to most rappers today. Plus the guy interviewing asked some really good question like u just said.
I agree this is a good interview.
I recommend the Talib Kweli podcast with The Game.
@@sX-Rain lmao I feel the same way and did the same exact shit!
@@sX-Rain kokpk ugh check in
I watch a lot of interviews; this was very well done. 1. Interviewer is a legitimate fan 2. The interviewer actually lets the guest talk uninterrupted. 3. We can see The Game from a different light
facts . this was hella enjoyable
Love how he actually answers all the questions directly.
Outta Glendale fools... LOL
Games a real one
The Documentary is one of the greatest rap albums ever
you must be smokin...
that shit is dope. man then 300 bars and running came out and that shit was crazy
Ali Chaudhry facts. Doctors Advocate is a better album than the documentary
Yeah, if you're 15.
Sean Ra you make absolutely no sense kid. Foh
Lets be honest The Game would go down in history as a rap legend. Thats my opinion. You can have your own opinion but i stand firm in mine.
MrMyPersonality he already is in my opinion
Absolutely agree with that one of the best lyricist of all time
He could have had he not tried that fake beef with 50, ruining his career.
@@BlackFaithProduction he didnt ruin It, fifty flopped After get rich, game stayed relevant for years
@@albertofava865 nah my G you tripping. 50 fell off commercially in 2007.
I woke up out that coma 2001
'bout the same time Dre dropped 2001
Three years later the album is done
Aftermath presents: N.W.A., Vol 1
i loved that line but i always am like dude 2001 came out in 99 haha
Thats crazy thats the actual name, thought it was just a amazing line
rap critics politican, they wana know the outcome
Rap critics politican' wanna know to the outcome, Ready To Die, Reasonable Doubt, and Doggystyle in one.
almost lost my life when dre dropped the chronic
The game to me is the most underrated legend In HipHop. He is tied for my favorite artist with J.Cole. Also one of HipHop's most lyrical rappers but is never mentioned with the greats. Only real fans know how immensely talented he is.
Super Duper Facts!
300 bars nuff said
Game is a legend and is really really underrated.
Old Ye was ridiculous bro. Dreams is one of the dopest songs in hip hop ever
No Name facts
You can tell he really enjoyed this interview by how he continues his story and goes off onto another story from the past.
The Documentary, Doctors Advocate, R.E.D,The Documentary 2 & 2.5 my favorites but all his albums is dope... Game always makes that real pure gangsta music...One of the greatest Rappers ever
You don’t like LAX :(
The interviewer and HipHopDX really know what legendary questions to ask. Underrated interview and underrated channel. Love their research and that they asked about the track with Game, Luda & Ye
Game is speaking the truth about balling with a glocc, he came to the Bronx and hooped in Fordham Road with a glocc on.
Jesus Piece really was slept on. Piles of fire.
dantrel81 me too. Start to finish a great project.
Yeah, tune after tune. My favourite album
Thank you ! I thought i was the only one saying this ! Sooo slept on
Man if him and Em had more records cuz that We Ain't is lit
Great sentence
do you mean need?
I'm sure em distance him self from game after he started dissing 50 and g unit.
did you have a stroke?
Really is a classic
You got a really good interviewer
U can tell how smart he is just by the way he talks. Real man, real talk. Always wonder why when rappers got asked about their top 5, he's not on the list. Like hold on, u got ears right?
The game speaks a lot better than i thought, almost an elegant gangsta talk. For real though the documentary is a classic, 11 year old me loved that album and it still slaps 16 years later.
Crazy how Game didn't mention 1992. That's a classic album to me & one of my favorites
Classssssic
Michael Canty absolutely
I don't consider 1992 an album, to me it was more of a mixtape or EP
Man! That album is fucking crazy 🔥 🔥. Slept on classic.
@@hiiipoweriii2211 That 2.5 was 🔥🔥too
Strongly agree with Jesus Piece being slept on. Was the soundtrack for my first year in college. Blood Diamonds, Heavens Arms & Murdered are all masterpieces.
His best album sonically and conceptually....
One of Kanye best beats the Jesus Piece track with Game & Common.
Furry Scythe what was your major in college and what college did you go to???
This guy is my favourite rapper. He can back up his bars, he really is about that life, his flow and rhyme scheme is awesome, his beats are classic west coast, he’s a smart guy and he’s a legit hip hop head. He’s the quintessential rap artist
This was a awesome interview. Brings me back to the moments of early Game era. I saw him in concert in Canada. I wonder if he was in my city when MJ called. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I ran a marathon, headphones on playing one track. "We ain't" by Game and Em. It had the perfect motivation and tempo.
Really? The whole marathon? How long did it take?
Game is one of my favorite artists. Sad to see him retire bc he's truly a gem in hip hop and he makes great music.
Yes my man been listening 15 years, its been a great ride.
And now he back
Love when game interviews non radio stations. He sounds so genuine and kinda happy to just be chopping it up like a normal dude.
Jesus Piece was the most underrated album of the decade 💯 and he dedicated that album to lil Jojo around the time he passed away. Game one of my top 5 rappers all time without a doubt 🔥
LongLive Nipsey Hussle ♾🏁
He didn’t want to sign to diddy cuz he didn’t want to get bent over, I respect him for that!
😂
RIP NIPSEY YOU CAN TELL GAME LOVED HIM… and MISS HIM 🙏🏽 ✊🏽 so much respect ..
33:53 Game started to talk about Eminem and Dre
ty man. lol was looking for this comment.
gracias
Ty!!
Ty
Thabk you! Hahaha
The game is a legend
Manuel L he’s in my top 5
Can't mention the west coast without mentioning him
Jamal Khan he’s the driving force of the West Coast
factss
The Game is up there with Pac and Eazy
finally ya'll drop the full interview.
I saw Game in 2009 while vacationing in Australia. My cousin and I did a 3 week trip out there from the states. We were in Adelaide and found out his tour was in town so we got tickets. Cool story actually. After we bought tickets the morning of the show, we went out to go sight see in the city. We stopped in a hotel to take a break and who did we see, Game!!! He walked by as he and his entourage were checking into that hotel. His show later that night was fire. 2 nights later we went to Brisbane and saw his show again there in Gold Coast. After the show he did a meet and greet with anyone in audience who wanted it. He literally posed for pictures with fans for 3 hours long after doing a full show. We got a picture with him. Funny story too; the show ran on so long after hours that we missed the train back to our hotel 2 hours away. We were stranded and ended up taking a cab back. It costed us about over $300. Great night, bad ride home but fun times!
I remember my boy VL Mike that was with BG’s label Chopper City and get left them to sign with Black Wall Street and I was so fuckin buck for him. We was going to go to LA n shit but he got killed. Man I miss my dog, he was gonna blow up with The Game. Shots out to The Game for showing Mike love before and after.
RIP VL Mike 4-20-08
The game is such a great rapper, his music brings back so many memories of the mid 2000s. I miss those days of rap.
Em And him had great charisma on a track they should have done more
I came here after someone's comment from a different video said this was a dope interview. I never heard of this channel, but they were right. Good stuff. It got me to sub.
I still have the Documentary + the DVD that came with it. But Im even more proud of owning all the mixtape material that immediately preceeded the album. The hype was real. That material is savage. He was hungry and ready to drop.
Wow thanks for the full interview👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
The guitar into the beat drop of hug the block is the hardest thing I’ve ever heard
Hug the block might be my favourite song on that album, truly amazing.
36:38 that Nas impression 👏🏽
I wish 50 and game didnt beef at all , they're music touched me and brings back so much memories
Reymatik Beatz touched you?.. GAY
Reymatik Beatz Fam I’m 27 as a lil nigga Game and 50 had me talkin to everybody in my neighborhood like they owed me money
Well we wouldn’t have the classic 300 bars 🤷🏽♂️
@@theroom3889 😂😂
Where did they touch u
This guy is a good interviewer
Man Jesus Piece started hard af and is one of my favorites so it's good to hear The Game talk about it a little
"Well Kurupt is from Mississippi!"
That shit was too funny 🤣
No philadelphia
Sounded like a chapelle skit haha
Daz is from Mississippi
Nip?
Luv the art on the wall in the background.👍
Good job DX and the interviewer, good questions. Seems like real fan👍😎 Not the same question that radio guys asking (Power 106 and others).
Nigha with an attitude vol 1 I get that reference now haha 15 years later 😭
Aftermath presents... ;)
Yup. That verse always threw me off like, what's Aftermath's NWA vol. 1? (+)
I don't understand what you don't understand
When you first heard the track “Dreams”
And he says aftermath presents nigga with an attitude vol 1
At that time that didn’t exist so it went over my head until now when he just explained it 🙏🏾
His last album (hopefully one more to make it a nice 10), should be entirely produced by Dre and Aftermath. Guys like Snoop, Em, Kendrick (just to name a few), would no doubt all jump aboard. Maybe Scott Storch and 50 might join as well. That would be nice way to end. One can only dream. Oh and maybe Common and Kanye too.
That joint “Angel” is one of the most underrated songs of all time, fucking Game, Common and Kanye killed that shit.
Angel is DOPE AF (+)
First I pray Yoo...then I lay low...looking for the hello..
Don’t forget young buck
Fantastic interview. Dope Art. Game always come wit the realness
Great 👍 interview not the same old questions. You seem like a big fan. That’s what’s up the game underrated. Been playing the game since 05. Stay uppers.
The Game would help artists put together amazing albums.
He has a great ear for music. He really should be an Executive producer for other artists
Joshua McRae 100%
Ultimate games games beat selection is all time greatness
"Dressed in Blue and red, like I don't see what the big deal is"
The game is an intelligent brother. One of my rappers of all time 🙏🏼
Reallly good interview.
Dope interview games a goat no 🧢
The Game Is My Favourite Rapper Of All Time, Listening To Him Since I Was 9 I'm 26 Now, I've Lost Count The Amount Of time I've Brought 'The Documentary' 💯💯💯
U a simp. Go hear some early 90s bangers. U know, the one game enjoys so much he gotta drop names every 5 seconds
Btw the documentary is 100% 50 and dre, because game never went that big again
For me game hasn’t really dropped a bad album. He’s always consistent with dropping high quality bodies of work. My least favourite however is documentary 2
To me its..
1. The Documentary
2. Jesus Piece
3.The Documentary 2
4. Doctor's Advocate
5. Born 2 Rap
All are great albums.
Are y'all serious? Y'all like Jesus Piece and put it on your Top 5? Top 2? What? WTF? (+)
@@elplebeuchiha1996 What do you mean? Jesus Piece was great.
I just cant have Doctors Advocate under Jesus Piece. The cards was stacked against him while making that and made a flawless album in the process
@@GoatedRain I wont argue with anyone who has the albums in another order than mine. They are all great. I just connected with those albums more but i totally get why some people would prefer the others.
m3anmug hell na G UNOT VOL 1 is #1
How nice of y’all to finally drop the full fuckin interview
Finally an interview that ask artist about music ONLY like it supposed to be.
It's nice to see that he gives 50 props in this, and they're not on some salty beef BS.
Nicca.... You from Albuquerque!!
"Kurupt from Mississippi!" LoL
Kurupt is from philly, an x to the z is from Michigan
He was born in Michigan but did live in NM
One of the top 5 greatest mainstream diss rappers ever
The doctors advocate was a total classic. Better than the documentary.
Facts
I am so glad that I am not alone. I bumped Dr.s Advocate way more than the doc (+)
This album carried me over my school days. Documentary was great, but Doctors advocate just hits differently.
I love that album, let's ride is my shit til this day. I remember when the album dropped I was hype to buy and listen to it. Game is a legend.
The first album I ever bought with my own money bro! Dope for sure!
When the interviewer burst out laughing at the Michael Jackson voice 😂😂
Those pictures in the back, I want them all....
Exhibit and corrupt story had me 💀💀💀💀
Awesome interview! Hope The Game & 50 can get back together. I can’t stand rap right now
Cole? Kendrick? Joyner?
Check out Merkules
Quality Interview 👏🏾🙌🏾✔😀
1:05 he just gonna start picking at his nails and throw it ? Lol
I caught that shit too 🤣🤣🤣
I loved how this interview went. I have never heard of this channel. The channel just kept popping up and I am glad I clicked on the video, because everything he was talking about/or had me interested. The Game is surprisingly well spoken and funny.
Thumbs up 👍 👌 👏,
That West Coast treaty part was funny as hell, amazing interview
Game seems more mature and humble in this interview. I feel like he's had some anger issues in the past.
This is a really good interview
Game feels safe around nerdy white people.... it's a place where he can truly be his fruity self.
If you look really closely at 2:37 his face tatt turns back into a butterfly.
The Michael Jackson story is actually a radio prank show from the United Kingdom. It used to run in the late 90’s to 2000’s. They’ve pranked a bunch of huge celebs.
All of Games albums are solid. Of course documentary was crazy. He’s so underrated
true legend period.
Born to rap is hardest album period hands down.🙌
The best rapper in the world
“Talks Eminem collab” - just had to throw that in there for the views 😭😭😭
Lukass Grasmanis so do they talk about it or what
Sara Dee yes we do
The Game got prank called
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
By 50, 50 would do that.
🤣🤣🤣
Great interview, like when an artist can go into detail and not just about radio hits. Helps that it’s done by a fan who knows his stuff.
1992 album was hard 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Living Legend Game....Game Legend Living...!!!
Best game interview.
Lloyd bank's should also start his own label!!
Thats a very good interviewer👏
Game's music always make me feel like i went back to the 90,'s
One hell of an interview.
Good interview
R.I.P 4 BENT BILLBOARD
Best game interview I've seen
A coma feels just like sleep , all the pain comes after you wake up . I was in a coma for 7 days when I got shot . That’s the best way to explain it . I even had a dream while I was in a coma that I never spoke to anyone because It’s between me and myself !!
Been 6 weeks in coma. And indeed... It feels like a long dream. For me I had Alot nightmares to... And freaky shit...
I too, also love Better Days. I wish it was on iTunes, song just hits different man lol
How the game not know that Kurupt is from Philly?
He is? I didn't know... we do have a lot of talent from here
MrInfo Philly Damn right!
one of my favorite rappers
This is why I’ve always liked the game. Just the sheer honesty no filter. The 50 guns story is the best.
if Game & 50 was to really do a song on Michael album that would’ve been legendary.
This interviewer is good
