Still, that doesn’t change how good this album is. The guy hasn’t even been rhyming 2 years, and it isn’t like he that good to warrant the instant superstardom. I’m sure I won’t be the only one to say so, but it is hard not to wish a better emcee got blessed with these beats like, say, Ras Kass – especially when you consider the absolute lack of dues The Game has paid to this point. I swear he must say Dre’s name about 30 times on the album. And while it may seem like nitpicking, his constant name-dropping gets on the nerves after a few listens – it just needs to go. He continues the awful tradition of when-thugs-love (a la “21 Questions,” “Karma”), with “Special.” The song is complete with an oh-so-poetic hook “ I want you to know you’re special.” While not particularly bad, the beat on “Where I’m From” does not meet the high standards of the rest of the LP and could have easily been left off. The Documentary is bound to generate some criticisms, and it should.
