The first Documentary was actually an action movie; a genre in which entertainment often trumps substance. Its sequel can’t re-create the same big explosions, but it cogently proves why its anti-hero has managed to stay alive, 10 years later.
The Game has assembled an all-star line-up that rivals the original down to a return to the studio with his mentor Dr. Dre.
After a steady stream of albums that fell short and got tripped up by their own ambition, rapper the Game returned with this ... release marking the tenth anniversary of his great album The Documentary. Great news is The Documentary 2 sounds effortless and winds up awesome because of it.
The vast majority of the album features strong production and some of the best lyricism Game has ever spit.
Lyrically and technically, Game has a renewed focus, telling his Westside story with more detail and meaning than ever. Never before has he made his beloved Compton come to life like this.
Like The Documentary, the sequel is a highly enjoyable tribute to old-school, cash-flush, crowd-pleasing, too-big-to-fail hip-hop album making, which can actually sound novel in 2015.
Part high-concept, part low-concept, it’s a valiant attempt to connect all the dots between the Los Angeles seen in Straight Outta Compton and the one Kendrick Lamar imagined on To Pimp a Butterfly.
The Game returns with a sequel to his breakout album, the Documentary.
So many old school samples, beats & refferences. While the record is a bit long, It still serves as a great sequel to Mr.Chuck Taylor's classic debut album.
