There's so much unnecessary hate for him on ktt. It's not just him but so many other rappers and they like rappers like lil b

Lil B is da worst. Im mad that trolling still goes on. But I think they forced themselves to like him now.

There's 15 tracks game put out last year, same amount of tracks that were on coles album. THose tracks shit on coles sidelinestory

nah they dont. and yes i have a very similar playlist that stays on repeat in my car.

also, dont forget Cole's unreleased tracks that came out in 2011 like Killers and How High. The Sideline Story wasnt his only songs released.

and Lost Ones>>>>>>>>all those songs except maybe Ricky

couldn't play 'monsters in my head' due to that site's horrible audio player. seeing the colin munroe feature leads me to believe the song is horribly cliche and over-produced so probably dodging a bullet here.

'keeping it real' is one of the better game songs i've heard over the past few years but that still doesn't mean he's rapping well. his raps are so forced. the way he puts emphasis on the last few words in every line creatures some of the corniest faux-passionate moments i've ever heard. his rhymes are very simple and he can't complete verses without name-dropping. his subject matter is extremely repetitive and ultimately boring.

Who else can resurrect three hiphop legends on a track?

im on Mobile and cant see the song, but if this is that track on LAX than who gives a fuck. LAX isnt part of this debate. that album came out 4 years ago. this isnt an all-time debate

It's not cliche at all bruh, majority of game fans say its one of the best tracks of his career, and it dropped last year

Use this link:

i was right about the colin munroe feature. the hook is awful.

this song isn't bad but not enough for me to say game is good at rapping. if his most noteworthy song from the past few years is one where he's emulating other rappers instead of executing his own style there's a problem.

It's better imo
Did you know that Ricky was a freestyle?
and i know your kinda a game fan just thought id let ya know that 3 leaks from his mixtape are dropping within the next couple of hours

i had no idea it was a freestyle. thats pretty awesome. The line about Morris Chestnut being an actor, but Pac being the real life Ricky>>>>>>>>>

and damn. dope. ill be sure to check them out. Game is awesome. i just wish he ddnt fuck up his tracklist for RED

That tree was set up so that it would be Jay-Z vs. Nas at one point, and that's obvious. Kendrick vs. Kanye too.
