Another solid mixtape from Game that was meant to end the Game vs 50/G-unot beef that everyone got tired of in the end. I don't recognise everything but much of this is Game dissing 50 & co over well known beats such as Niggas Bleed, 1970 Somethin', Ready, A.M. to P.M. and Quiet to name a few. Lyrically, although there is some humour in the dissing, it does get a bit tedious being 20 odd tunes of hating. Nevertheless, if you enjoy The Game you'll like this because the beats bang.
Best Tracks: 120 Bars, Niggaz Bleed, 1970 Somethin', Not Gonna Leave, A.M. to P.M., My Lowrider, Quiet, Outro (Red Bandana)
I'm not a fan of Shaggy or much Dancehall and apart from 'Hey Sexy Lady' and 'Angel' I hadn't heard much of his catalogue. But I got this album and it grew on me. Genre wise a lot of it is sort of on the cusp of dancehall and pop rap, it's not heavy dancehall production wise if ya know what I mean. Not all is great, but I like the mix of R&B/Reggae/Rap/Pop/Dancehall it provides to the best tracks to give it a good rating.
Best Tracks: Clothes Drop, Ready Fi Di Ride, Would You Be, Don't Ask Her That, Gone With Angels, Letter to My Kids
Some nice music, with 'Us and Them' being my pick. I don't like the most known 'Money' very much. I listened to this three or so times and there was nothing I disliked but nothing I'd go back to. Not really for me.
This was a little bit how I find the games. Some of the set-piece action scenes are engaging, but aside from that, it isn't the most memorable adventure. Something I've been meaning to mention about other movies is the characters' fitness level. I'm a runner. Not only can most people not sprint for 2 minutes, you definitely can't whilst parkouring and not even be out of breath afterwards. You can't do lots of what happens in action movies, but that always bugs me. The movie is pretty much what I expected it to be. A popcorn film with some nice scenery and original action scenes, but nothing you'll remember in a few weeks.
