Album Review: The Game- L.A.X.
The Game
L.A.X.
Geffen Records/Interscope
6.5/10
Written By: Samir Siddiqui
The Game’s eagerness to engage in any and all rap beefs might be perceived as a legitimate hunger for competition, but in actuality, his latest barbs and jabs have been weak attempts at filling the holes in his somewhat underwhelming fresh material. His newest project, L.A.X., certainly suffers from stretches of uninspired rapping, but Game is clever enough to armour his album with a string of all-star guest-spots and a host of big-name producers.
This is the opinion of Samir Siddiqui and if you disagree feel free to leave a comment giving your thoughts on the review and album.
Fortunately, L.A.X. side-steps the Doctor’s Advocate’s empty grasps at Dr. Dre-esque production, instead relying on a soundscape punctuated by rolling drum-lines, prevalent samples, and twinges of G-Funk. “State of Emergency” works off a killer throwback synth line and crashing drums, with Game providing a noteworthy young Ice Cube rendition, and the 90’s vibe continues with Raekwon throwing darts on the scrappy “Bulletproof Diaries.” The Lil Wayne-assisted “My Life” is an instant grabber, with Game ironically at his best at his most vulnerable over a subtly building arrangement by Cool & Dre; it’s perhaps the most potently written song of the bunch, with Game spitting bars like, “like Roc-a-Fella needed Sigel…I needed my father, but he needed a needle…Ain’t no bars, but ni**as can’t escape the hood/ it took so many of my ni**as, that I should hate the hood“.
The middle portion of the album, however, is littered with mediocrity, the worst culprits being the schmaltzy R&B crossovers “Gentleman’s Affair” and “Touchdown,” weak efforts worsened by cringe-worthy hooks (”this sex appeal, is not a skill“) and cheesy mood-setting (”like the ocean after the sunset“). The more experimental songs are of a hit or miss variety- the sleek bounce of “Angel” overshadows the mediocre funk influence on “Cali Sunshine,” and the speaker-rattling chemistry of Game and Travis Barker on “Dope Boys” is a far better rock/hip-hop blend than DJ Toomp’s awkwardly arranged “House of Pain.”
Lyrically, L.A.X. continues Game’s trend of treading water and relying on delivery and style; he can reminisce about the Fresh Prince and Big Daddy Kane (”Game’s Pain”), and trade more culture-conscious verses with Nas (”Letter to the King”), but if this is indeed Game’s final opus (which it won’t be), it’s a musical canvas that is only partially painted on. For such a loud character, his written representation is a far more subdued and far less unique take on The Game; he questions his status as being not quite one of the best in the game, and it is largely due to his inconsistency in crafting engaging lyrics that some of his former contemporaries have now passed him by.

SMH @ the reviewer. Poor reviews, as always.
It’s a 8.5 for me
August 24th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
ya seriously this deserves much more than 6.5….definitely in the same class as Carter 3, Untitled, etc
August 24th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
nah, not at all. cosign #3 and #4 definitely 8/10, 9/10 albumm
August 24th, 2008 at 5:32 pm

August 24th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
HOW DID THIS ALBUM GET SUCH A HIGH SCORE,THE ENTIRE DISC IS A COMBINATION OF MULTIPLE FAILED IDEAS AND POOR LYRICS THAT DO NOTHING TO HELP THE GAMES DYING CAREER
3.5/10 IS MORE LIKE IT.
August 24th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Game’s dying career? Well see if he can manage to outsell 50’s last 2 efforts, that shouldnt be 2 hard.
August 24th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
RU SERIOUS THE JOINT WIT NE YO AND RAHEEM R THE SHIT IF U CANT GET PUSSY OFF DAT THEN UR A FUCKIN LOSER. BESIDES DAT DA ALBUM WAS FIRE. I DONT BELIVE HE LISTENED TO THE WHOLE THING 9/10 I LISTEN TO IT STR8 THUR 3 TIMES ALREADY AND IT AINT HIT STORES YET
August 24th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
maybe if he stood on his own 2, instead of relying on every other name in the rap game for contreversy and publicity people would respect his opinion.
but he’s a character named “the game” and this is the w.w.f.
August 24th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
if it was like realtalkwestcoast i think the score would be higher ha!
August 24th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
cosign 10….i mean i dont even remember shit about ice cubes album that dropped…they rather put up pics of wat jayz wore out to supper and lame bow wow shit…this site it gettin rediculous
August 24th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
No way is this anywhere close to Nas album, this album got the rating it deserved infact the reviwer was more than genrous with the 6.5 rating the album was lacklust and poor. But when all he does is name drop who is surprised ?
August 24th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
should be way higher
August 24th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Shocking!
8/10 atleast.
L.A.X. >>>>> DA
August 24th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
WTF??? BULLSHIT! 4REAL THIS IS AT THE LEAST 8.5/10
August 24th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Fuck what you heared. The carter 3 was a disapointment fa cats who waited two years. This is a great look for game after two years. Its like if you aint kanye or wayne, cats dont respect ya effort. Thats why he makes every damn thing so personal. Yall cats never recognize the mans skills. Lyrically one of the top 10 right, now bottom line. “Dope Boys” is the shit.
August 24th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
I have to say this album isn’t his best. It comes close to first, but not so much. Production was so much better on Doctors Advocate. I am very surprised DJ Khalil was no where on this project. Some of his songs are good because he is paying homage to Nas, Tupac, Biggie, and Easy E. The songs where he is rapping in their style are just crazy. I been a Game fan for years, and I have sat back from all the other postings because their was too much division. I have to say that the album is worth buying. I am going to buy the Deluxe Edition just because I have bought all of his work. I was expecting more from the Kanye produced track, but I was not expecting what came out of it. The album does fall apart in the middle, but picks back up from the Scott Storch track. He could have definitely used more Dre-type beats, but it was a good performance.
8.75/10
August 24th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
yo was dis nigga samir or wat ever his name is on crack wen he wrote dis review…. is he mentailly ill 2 give dis album a 6.5…. i mean dis is a classic album hear and at least deserves an 8 or 9…. i think dis samir dude is juss another wun of deemm game haters… well u no wat niggaaa… fuk uu … u bitch ass niggaa… dis album styll gonna do numbers..
August 24th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
Hey #8 The Lame will not out sell Fif last solo joint it will out sell T.O.S. Fif gettin paid off of it any way so its a win win for da Unit
August 24th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
THE GAME FTW!
August 24th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
money, l.a.x. Files, big dreams (delux version), my life and dope boyz… All good tracks but the rest of the album is trash… But to be honest 5 good tracks on an album is the norm now days…
None of the games albums come close to Get rich or die tryin, where frm start to finish is a hiphop classic…
L.A.X. Is a totally forgetable album.. Jus like the doctors advocate…
August 24th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
SAMIR SIDDIQUI HOWS ABOUT YOU CHANGE THE SCORE TO A 3.5 SO WE CAN CALL THIS A NIGHT
August 24th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Maybe Game would get better reviews if songs called “MY LIFE” don’t mention a differeent Proper Noun ever 2 bars. Like seriously…what did Game say about himself that whole song?
August 24th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
LOL I think niggaz mad cuz this nigga game dissed their messiah, there lord and savior. Its gonna be hard for em to get a positive review from these followers.
August 24th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
yo i dont give uh fuk wat that punk ass nigga gave the cd this shit go hard def one of the best albums comin out this year if not the best go get that shit
August 24th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
well we don’t know what the reviewer is scaling his score on.
a 6.5/10 might be pretty good compared to other album’s HE has reviewed.
maybe understanding a point system would be better than saying “no, it deserves a 8/10 or 8.5/10″
because his score, and your score, might be based on the same ideas, it’s just the number is placed differently on the scale, even if you guys agree on the same ups and downs of the album.
just a thought.
August 24th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Album was decent at best. I’d give it a 5/10 because I don’t see me bumping this cd more than 2 times a year if that. This album just proves that 50 and Dre made The Game….
The Documentary=HOT SH*T!
Devil’s Advocate=weak
LAX=weak
Had a spark when he started….you know the rest
August 24th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
The Review Seems Average, So It’s Uh Pretty Solid Album, But I Wanna Find Out For Myself, Since The Majority Of The Comments On Here Are Saying it Deserves Uh “8.5 Or Uh 8/10″ ..Makes Me Wanna Fuck The Review And Check it Out For Myself ..These Album Reviews Always Be Off Away, Can’t Wait Till August 26!! ..
August 24th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Anyway*
August 24th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
The review is on POINT. REAL TALK i like GAME when he was with GUNIT. Dude was str8 HUNGRY now he using the 50 cent formula. Trying to start a beef with JAY-Z. He trying to bait the BEST RAPPER ALIVE JAY-Z(sorry lil wayne fans im just telling the truth) lol. He got NO dr. dre, NO beef to fuel his album sells. Dude is a CLOWN dude use to be a male stripper. Now he a “blood” and gangsta rapper lmao. I cant wait for big homie jay-z to drop BLUEPRINT 3.
August 24th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
i agree 6.5 the best song 2 me is State of Emergency and House Of Pain he had a few lines everything except Gentle Man’s Affair and Angel was good was Never Can Say Goodbye was kinda clever
August 24th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
I thought Game had more talent than this……he has a feature on all but like 3 songs
August 24th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Game aint dropped a solo album yet…
August 24th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
SAMIR SIDDIQUI will be The Game’s next album title.
Name dropping him on every song.
August 24th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
So you guys said Toomp did the house of pain beat so I youtubed it and was honestly happy with the beat, if you guys ment to say that Game didn’t seal the deal on it thats fine but the beats fire.
mad heads in the comments are saying this album was better than you said, im calling shananigans on ya’ll niggas
August 24th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Damn… I aint heard it yet tho.
August 24th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
NOTHING BUT WACKNESS FROM THE GAME,HE SHOULD START TAKING SOME RAPPING CLASSES OR SOMETHING
August 24th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Deezy u buggin, this album was TUFF. I say he at least deserves a 8.5.
August 24th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
The album is ass, honestly u gave him too much props, every track is garbage except my life and thats cuz of wayne hook. Dude is finished after this shit flop.
4.5/10

August 24th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
LOL @ The review disclaimer:
“This is the opinion of Samir Siddiqui and if you disagree feel free to leave a comment giving your thoughts on the review and album.”
That must be so Game and his people don’t get mad @ RTNY over the shoddy review.
I’ve heard 1/2 of the songs and its the same typical shit. Great production, catchy hooks and garbage lyrics.
Game you need a ghost writer for real, or a better one lol!!
August 24th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
OH YEA THIS SHIT GOT MORE RNB TRACKS THAN MASSACARE HAHAHAH AND NONE OF THE SHITS CAN TOUCH JUST A LIL BIT,AND CANDY SHOP THOSE NUMBER ONE HITS RIGHT THERE HAHAHAHA
August 24th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
6.5?…damnnn. that’s too bad for him.
August 24th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
“ahhhhhhh ahahahahahah haha hahahahah look at all the game dick lickers tight hahahaha i think they went easy on game becuse he gave some interviews hahahahaha to rtny hahahahaha yo nigel quote me from a couple days ago i said i cant wiat till the ALBUM REVIEW CUZ I HEARD THE SHIT ON THE NET AND I COULDNT BELIEVE ALL THE BULLSHIT I WAS HEARING ON THIS TRASH ASS ALBUM LMAO TOS WAY BETTER THAN LAX HAHAHA I DONT GIVE A SHIT IF IT AINT SELL TRACK BY TRACK T.O.S BLOW THIS SHIT OUT THE WATER KEEP PLAYN MADDEN NIGGA HAHHAHAHAHA AND GAME AINT SHIT IN MADDEN ALL HE DO IS THROW UP A BOMB 2 RANDY MOSS I HOPE THIS SHIT SELLS 5K FIRST WEEK”
100% AGREED WITH BUSHWICK PURE,THIS ALBUM IS THE REASON WHY HIP HOP IS IN SUCH A SAD STATE:GOOD PRODUCTION,GARBAGE LYRICS,BITCH HOOKS.
NOTE TO THE GAME;SWITCH OFF THE PS3 AND GO HANG YOURSELF,IT’S BECAUSE OF WACK RAPPERS SUCH AS YOURSELF THAT TALENTED CATS SUCH AS SKILLZ AND MANY OTHER RAPPERS CAN’T GET SHOWS.
TRILLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
August 24th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
Okay we already know the nigga Samir Siddickhead or whateva his name is, is a straight game hater or G-Unit lover or something. Is he getting paid to keep it real on the review or what? Someone let me know. Is evident he really dont like this album at all. It should atleast be better than Doctor’s Advocate Im sure. What I want to know is with all of the hype and promotion for this album will he go platinum? I mean T.O.S. will never even see the light of gold. So for The Game to have all of these features and videos he should definitly outsell G-Unit right? In my own personal opinion(because we’re all intitled to one according to this nigga that wrote this review)The Game will be atlest Gold by the end of September. He has more supporters than G-Unit as a group. So mission accomplished!
August 24th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
I Thought the album was decent, Its Up to par with the other albums of ther year def not a classic but a solid third album… Something to listen to until the next jay album or jeezy or t.i. album
August 24th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
lollllll, how is the game top ten lyrically in the game,,,, lolllllllllllllll,, the game, rick ross,, lil wayne nd 50 cent,, are not in top 10,,,,, to find lyrics in this game,,, you gatta look hard,,,, this game is not about lyrics,,, just image,, nd how loud u can shout,,,, these dayz,,,,,where is where are tracks like “top billin” gone
August 24th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
A solid 7 at best, nothing more or less. If you’re a die hard Game fan then you’d say it should be higher but this album is just a bunch of mixed records. He beat the sophmore jinx with a good album but with this one he just recorded some and picked whatever. The album is mediocre at best (lyrics and production) but he’ll probably still do well.
Songs i like
Bulletproof Diaries
House of Pain
Gentleman’s Affair
Angel
Letter to the King
State Of Emergency
August 24th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
SAMIR IS A HATER AND HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF TO GIVE THIS ALBUM A 6.5 IS AN ATTEMPT TO STOP A BLACK MAN FROM EATING THIS ALBUM IS 8.5/9 THE PRODUCTION IS GREAT AND THE LYRICS ARE COOL EXCEPT GAMES USUAL NAME DROPPING IF ANYBODYS SAYS OTHER WISE THEYRE GAME HATERS I LIKE THIS WAY NETTER THAN LIL WANYES ALBUM BUT YALL TO STUCK ON WAYNES TESTICLES
August 24th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
game is nice, better emcee then lil wayne for sure.. i havnt listened to this album but from what i’ve heard off it, this score is justified, although it seems a bit low at first glance since so many wacker records get higher..
game hasnt done anything inspired since his first album, but he’s always remained solid.. but has failed to really impress in his after-Dre efforts.
August 24th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
still better than that fiftys last album even at a 6.5 hah
August 25th, 2008 at 12:20 am
bet u this shit better than wayne shit

Album starts gd kinda starts to sink then picks bk up i say 7.5 imo. Wouldn’t give it a 8 or 9 really 1st album still his best imo.
August 25th, 2008 at 7:53 am
I AIN’T EVEN HEAR THE ALBUM BUT I BELIEVE THE NIGGA GIVING THE REVIEW. THIS NIGGA GAME ALWAYS PAYING HOMAGE IN EVERY SONG THINKING ABOUT EVERY ARTIST BUT HIMSELF HE’S LIKE A FAN/ARTIST.LOL

I have no idea what you folks be listening to, but every song since Game was released from jail whether it was him featured on someone else’s songs or the ones he created for his album he has been on fiyah. This album is the shet. I have copped it and now I’m gonna cop the special edition for the other songs. Some of you guys are giving your personal opinion based on your likes and dislikes…but some of you like BUSHY Bitch is just straight hating because TOS was something a fag could tuck between their azz cheeks. Stop praying on his failure because ur favorite fag group failed. Game is making good music…people complain about the name dropping and too many features. That’s what Game is about name dropping and every song I hear from other artist they do the same shet….you all just listening harder when it comes to GAME, but you know he makes some bangin azz songs and he definitely stepped up on the creativity side of things. Also as far as the features, he stated this was his last project and that he wanted to get into the studio with everyone he ever wanted to make a song with. What’s so dayum wrong with that? I love it! Yes I am a Game fan, but most importantly I am a fan of his music because he actually makes great music….yes I dont like Gunit…I cant respect them nor do I like the type of music they produce….and that’s not a hater statement…I mean I really dont like their music, it’s just not my cup of tea!
August 25th, 2008 at 8:41 am
Traash review…..wtf is wrong with u?..
did he even listen to that album??….fuck this is disarpointing…I thougt Realtalk ny would have people that are serious in what they are doing…..he can´t be serious..
this album wus classic…..wy betetr than lil waynes disco album…this is real musik..FUck RealtalkNY for this review!!!!….ure spoiling good music…
August 25th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Album is pretty good to me, he shouldnt have left off Big dreams, gangsta party and superman in my opinion. Id give it a 7.5 or 8 out of 10. But why did the rating system go from outta 5 to outta 10?
August 25th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Should have put Spanglish on there to. Hopfully some of these are bonus tracks on the actual album tomorrow. I’ll be coppin it either way.
August 25th, 2008 at 9:15 am
lol, how much did Carter 3 get on the reviews?
just wanna compare. but seriously L.A.X isn’t that good
its like 0.5\10 ( only like My Life. )
the game sucks lyrically, and he knows it thats why he got all of them features, game you suck.
August 25th, 2008 at 9:39 am
@60 STFU…why dont you make an album hater….
August 25th, 2008 at 9:39 am
The Game L.A.X. (Geffen Records)
***
It’s difficult for those weaned on the holy gangsta trinity of “Straight Outta Compton,” “The Chronic” and “Doggystyle” not to appreciate The Game’s perpetual nostalgia for the glory days of G-Funk. With an aesthetic tailor-made for endless drives down palm tree-lined avenues, Jayceon Taylor’s hard-hitting beats make for ideal, sun-soaked California ride music.
The Game’s insatiable drive for greatness has led him to recruit the best rappers and producers around, desperate to prove that he belongs. He succeeded with his first two efforts, “The Documentary” and “The Doctor’s Advocate,” albums that cemented his place as the lone commercially viable light repping the City of Angels during this particularly fallow decade for West Coast gangsta rap.
Blessed with perhaps the finest ear for beats among his peers and a husky, powerful rasp of a voice, the Game doesn’t lack in faults. Ever-obsessive in name-dropping other rappers, this tic doesn’t disappear on “L.A X.,” with the Game’s almost “Single White Female” obsession with Dr. Dre manifesting itself repeatedly.
The Compton-raised rapper’s conservative inclination to stick to the gangsta tropes of money, drugs and guns feels limiting at times, as does the album’s bloated 1-hour-and-16-minute running time. While “L.A.X.” boasts several tracks too many, few remain outright duds, with the album heavily boosted by the Game’s all-star squad of guest performers.
On “State of Emergency,” Ice Cube’s ever-aggrieved assault meshes well with the Game’s ode to Los Angeles’ violent underbelly, while on the single “My Life,” Lil Wayne’s woozy, weary hook adds a sense of poignant urgency to the Game’s tale of uplift. A Nas guest spot buoys the heartfelt, compelling civil rights anthem “Letter to the King.” Elsewhere, Common, Raekwon, Ne-Yo and Ludacris turn in strong performances.
“L.A.X.” might not hit the heights of its two predecessors, but it is one of the more complete and satisfying major label rap releases of the year.
–Jeff Weiss
August 25th, 2008 at 9:53 am
i think this score is to low…..yea the lyrics were about 6.5 or 7…..but the production was on point much better then the Doctors Advocate (not as good as the documentary though)…lyrics about 6.5-7 production about 8.5-9…the whole thing should have gotten lyk a 8 (why niggas so obssessed with lyrics the music it self counts for a lot everybody isn’t nas or lupe)
favortie songs “Angle” ft common—-”Let Us Live” ft Chrisette Michelle
August 25th, 2008 at 10:58 am

For the record, I dont like Game or G-Unit.
August 25th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Terrible albums this year: T.O.S, L.A.X
Good: Untitled
Very good: Carter 3
August 25th, 2008 at 1:18 pm

August 25th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
L.A.X LACKS
August 25th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
#63 im gonna guess your comment was meant for someone else cause I dont see where I hated.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Pounce you absolutely right…my bad!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
I meant 62…STFU…LOL
August 25th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
I think Samir is a Hov fan after reading other reviews on this album. Only thing is, Game trying to go at Hov for no reason or speculation type comments at a Tennis match is lame but has nothing to do with his album.
The disclaimer is hilarious though.
“This is the opinion of Samir Siddiqui and if you disagree feel free to leave a comment giving your thoughts on the review and album.”
I guess the album would have gotten a 8 at least if someone from the West wrote it. *cough* Ali. Album is really Westcoast shit. I think he may have put one two many songs for the females but if the real album got bonus tracks he’ll do over 300k first week. Maybe gold by 2nd week sales.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
LMAO @ 62
lol, how much did Carter 3 get on the reviews?
just wanna compare. but seriously L.A.X isn’t that good
its like 0.5\10 ( only like My Life. )
the game sucks lyrically, and he knows it thats why he got all of them features, game you suck.
WHAHAH CO-SIGN!
August 25th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Well, yall know how much I love 50 and I’m still gonna check it out!!! Game may be a fake ass nigga, but he is definately a good rapper!!!
I’ll be counting how many times he drops Dre’s name too LOL!!!

everyone who’s co-signing #62 just STFU! a 0.5\10? You must be fckng kidding me come on guys! the L.A.X isn’t that good!
its maybe like -10\10!
all the game does is throw some all-stars on tracks
and thinks its gonna be fine. game you suck.
dont be in the game if you dont know the game!

the carter 3 was a good album and lax is better so it deserves at least 8/10 or 8.5/10 plus name three albums better in 08

Saamir Sidiqui? Come on now this is some middle eastern cat who feels like he can rate our stuff and say its wack. Go listen to the Pujabi MC guy you lame and leave hip hop to us blacks and hispanics. I hate when them caucasian writers at magaizines give our artists low ratings, they screwed Nas over and now this blogger feels like his opinion matters.

real talk, but the Game’s album has been the best album out of all his past albums, and on the real first of all its bangin and i’m really feelin him, it’s about time the west coast comes back hard and also the east coast because believe me i miss hip hop that has meaning in it, not shit you can only dance to or is all about we the best and we got cars and money, but about what really happens and the determination and struggle of the people in the hood…man right now hip hop is wack and Game do ya thing homie
