A fine second album
Without the backing of 50 Cent and G Unit, I was unsure what The Game could do as his "difficult second album".

On listening through though, "Doctor's Advocate" sees The Game making the sort of album that showcases him well. His background was always streetwise, his attitude is right and his lyrics are still thoughtful but now are much more mature and the overall musical style and tempo is more in keeping with his delivery than the more bombastic approach of G Unit.

The self-indulgence of certain parts of "The Documentary" - possibly due to the heavy influence of 50 and crew - is absent now, though his mixed feelings about the way things happened and the situation as it is now show through repeatedly in his lyrics - for instance, when he refers to "the aftermath of Aftermath" (the label of his first album) and later states he is sometimes tempted to call 50 and talk things over but feels he can't because of "the beef".

The Game has shown here that his style does stand up on its own. "Doctor's Advocate" shows that he can make his own way in the music world - with or without 50 Cent.

If you liked "Dreams" from the first album, and especially if you liked it more than "Hate It Or Love It", buy this album.

Drop it like its not an issue
The Game is, for me a great rapper, I love his voice and he is lyricaly tight. However the fact that he still rhymes about 50 shows how jealous and bitter he is about thw whole situation. It all started cos 50 made more money than he did from "the documentary." Well without 50 cent and Dre on this album it was never going to compete with his debut album, although it is still a very good piece of work. Just blaze and swizz beats help to make up for what he has lost without Dre. Overall its a sound album worth buying, I just hope this is the last we will hear from the game about 50 cent. It shouldnt be an issue any more.

F*ck Dre, The Game's still on it!
You'd think without Dr. Dre and (most of) Aftermath not backing him up this time round, he'd be a gonner. Well, The Game don't need no Doctor to restore him back up to normal, because with the likes of Scott Storch, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, and will.i.am he makes once again, another classic.

Every track on here has a different story. For example, Wouldn't Get Far, he raps about models who wants to "do stuff" with famous rappers, and how slutty they can be. And Doctor's Advocate, a real touching song of why he left Aftermath and the beef with 50.

The features are also great to, some to please everyone, with Nas, Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dogg. The 9 minute ending song, featuring Nas called Why You Hate The Game, is also pleasing. A nice song to chill out to when you're bored.. But the club banger California Vacation ft. Snoop Dogg & Xzibit, has a total different genre.

Amazingly, The Game still proves he's the darkest and most agrressive U.S. artist still rapping. This album ONLY JUST beats the still-amazing album "The Documentary". Defianately a classic, and still will be played for another 10 years, if that.

Sad just sad
Ok for the purposes of this review I am approaching it critically and not in any way biased. I would like to point out that two of my favourites MC's at the moment are Ja Rule and Young Buck. I like them because they are good rappers and don't care if they are Beefing. The Games first album was nice (I know I reviewed it 5 stars but my rap views have changed since that review ages ago I now listen to artists such as Nas Rakim Jay Z and my new favourite Big daddy Kane). So onto the album and why I now hate "The Game"

Production - wise the album has its highs and lows. The problem is there are more lows than highs. I will sort by doing all the highlights of the album. "one blood" has an amazing beat and reused sample The Game also raps very well Also check out the remix of this song as it is AMAZING and features almost every rapper around (and Ja Rule is BACK with the best verse on the whole 11 min song outshining Nas and the like) Lets ride has a very nice beat and is just a westcoast banger lyrics aren't the best and the chorus is a bit weak but it really just there to listen to while driving. Too much is very nice lyrically and the beat and chorus by Nate is pretty good. Wouldn't get far is alright but the sample was used for a jadakiss song "by your side" of his album "kiss of death" and was better used there. Kanye is alright though. Ol' English is a very good beat and chorus and the game is also very nice lyrically. "Why you hate the game?" is probably the best track on the album (it has Nas) the Just blaze beat is amazing as is Nas Marsha and The game. I think this would have been a lot better on "hip hop is dead" as the Game featured track there is weaker. Amazing ending for the album after a very bad album.

"Doctors Advocate" (song) highlights what is wrong with the album here is a great emotionally filled track. I love the way the game raps when he is drunk and busta is good and the other guest singer. The problem is this track like the rest of the album is just one big crying session to the good dr Dre. I feel sorry for Dre the game is the ultimate in crazy fans. Every track has a reference to Dre. The album title has his name in it. The song "Stan" by eminem now reminds me of the game. This album doesn't let up with the Dre references. It's so scary like some weird fetish. The Game needs to get over the fact he was rejected by the whole label.

In conclusion Download "why you hate the Game?" and "one blood" and don't get the actual album. Now for a little rant on why I "hate the Game"

1. The dre references are so bad and weird and ruin the album.

2 the fact he beefs with everybody. Young buck killed the Game in his diss track and Ras Kass is one of the best ever from the west and the Game disses him.

3. His fans. Why are there so many Game (and G-Unot) lovers? He's not good and to hate G-unit when without them you wouldn't have the Game is just sad. Disloyal fools. The game is supposedly G-Units biggest enemy. It's because he's jealous. They have Dre and he has nobody. Sad isn't it just Sad. This guy is a disgrace and in every way as bad as 50 cent and the rest of G-unit(ignoring young buck who has skill).

Peace.
