When Game does decide to retire, it should be at a time where he no longer needs to validate his legacy. Game can’t leave rap alone now, but his transition from trendsetter to trend hopper makes it seem like he’s chasing rather than leading.

Pitchfork
The veteran rapper’s 29-track, 112-minute album is a bloated attempt to remind everyone he’s a great MC, flitting between styles without rendering any of them memorable.

AllMusic
It's undoubtedly among the most fascinating and audacious works in the rapper's catalog. Game delivers nearly two hours of material with help from high-profile production collaborators and more guest rappers and singers than tracks.

The Game must pay $7M in damages after losing his sexual assault trial and since he did not have the money, this album was born.

A TEN MINUTE DISS TRACK??? MF THAT’S NOT EVEN A BEEF NO MORE THAT’S JUST REALLY FUCKING DEPRESSING

“If gay is happy, I’m Isaiah Rashad.” yk, after Violence, i genuinely thought The Game was gonna change. i thought The Game was gonna have everyone witness a new renaissance of his work and that he’d stop making projects that sound lack lustre in quality. i was wrong. so wrong. this is a terrible project for multiple reasons. the first of which being that ... read more

some of the substance is alright but its an absolute snooze fest to listen to front to back. wouldn't recommend checking this one out + its popularity was only fueled by the eminem diss which, while throwing some okay shots, is nothing more than a petty attempt at regaining relevancy.
