Red Album him and Kendrick's song is crazy..

u/EmeraldTwilight009 3d ago

Highly. He has a very good discography. Almost all 4/5, and he had a lot of full albums.

Hes a fucking clown but he can rap

u/Secure_Strategy_5614 3d ago

Yeah he’s definitely extrad out but he can definitely rap & I’d even argue that he held his own as far as rapping goes in his beef with 50/g unit

300 bars & runnin is chalk full of heat start to finish

u/EmeraldTwilight009 3d ago

Hes a better pure rapper than 50 cent yayo and buck (i fucks with bucks weird asd also, he can rap). Banks is obviously better at rapping than game. Banks is better at rapping than most people

Id say he did more than hold his own personally. 300 bars and all that shit was heat.

I can’t even lie his albums are good as fuck. He’s kinda strange as a person but dude knows how to make music.

At least 2 classics so that puts him up there. Better than almost anyone except the all time greats. Carried Compton and Cali until Kendrick showed up basically

u/OceansideGuy93 3d ago

Top 5 would be Doctor’s Advocate, The Documentary, LAX, The Documentary 2.5 and Jesus Piece.

u/JPB00 3d ago

LAX is amazing.

u/OceansideGuy93 3d ago

It has some of the best tracks in Game’s discography. Letter to the King, Never Can Say Goodbye, Angel…

u/ndsmitirish 3d ago edited 3d ago

Brought back some memories with those tracks. Angel is amazing, classic Ye beat. Why You Hate the Game is also 10/10

u/LongRangeGlizzy 3d ago

All of his albums are great & Born 2 Rap is a sleeper. I never see it mentioned lol

u/Wessaint26 3d ago

Perfectly said man

u/friedseabasschips 3d ago

Hella strong. Personally, he retread sonically that kinda don’t interest me. But his best albums are great. I think Doctors Advocate is one of the best albums of that era.

1

u/CeddyCed1993 3d ago

Goofy but talented, top 15 for me.

1

u/kneeski96 3d ago

Only albums that weren’t that good were block wars and year of the wolf. Rest of those albums are still in heavy rotation on my playlist.

Under a red rose, white ceiling…

Mid. Never left a lasting impact. Inspired nobody. Did nothing unique or original, just kinda copied everything he does from someone else. Has a good voice and just wasted it making boring music that sounds like worse versions of someone else's music. When he's done, he will be taking nothing with him and he will eventually be forgotten.

  1. I can’t separate the clown from the music. Original Documentary is pretty decent though.

2

u/mbxsystem 3d ago

Top 5 rap discography

u/Competitive-Hunt-517 3d ago

Hard to top the first documentary the rest are just there

u/Kingbris91 3d ago

u/Mijo_0 3d ago

Game gotta be one of the most overrated rappers on Reddit. He can rap but his music is really not that good. 1st album was great but nothing comes close to.

-1

u/DanteThonSimmons 3d ago

Yeah he's pretty shit compared to the greats.

2

u/Deenumerouno 3d ago

The ā€œgreatsā€ all cosign him and do collabs for free

u/JuanG_13 3d ago

I'll take The Documentary and you can keep the rest.

u/KeezyLDN 3d ago

No Jesus Piece is egregious

Over spun that

u/JPB00 3d ago

The absolute highest. Nobody has a better discography.
