weak. and that’s something very untypical for nas. but as every worker has his bad days, every rapper has his bad songs. enjoy?

a short video snippet:

beginnin’ grotesquely bad, The Game’s third album L.A.X. (los angeles times) doesn’t get better till song no. 10, entitled House of Pain, which is the honey on a moldered loaf of bread. not the most expensive honey, but good, juicy one with heavy beats and an atmospheric chorus.
and then there’s Letter to the King, with an ingenious Nas. compared to the honey and the bread, this is a delicious salmon steak with some drops of fresh lemon juice and some grains of salt.

01 - Intro (Feat. DMX) (Prod. by Ervin “EP” Pope)

enjoy!

the real video coming soon, below is just a trailer. song produced by just blaze. track off l.a.x.

looks very stylish, but it seems to lack something essential. originality. the visuals look like some cheap copies of a badly drawn superman-fake. i’m serious.

hat tip to shake

L.A.X. ist noch nichtmal draussen und The Game hat schon Pläne für sein nächstes Album. Diary Of Compton D.O.C. soll es heissen. The Game meint dazu:

“If the idea that I have comes together, I will consider doing a fourth album. If I can’t get into the studio with the people I want to, and make it happen how I want to, only then I wouldn’t consider it. My next album was supposed to be this album. But when I started recording “L.A.X.” it turned left on me. The next project will be called the “D.O.C.” or “Diary of Compton.” It will have ten tracks on it, non-listed, no names just chapters 1 through 10. If I get Dr. Dre, MC Ren, King Tee, DJ Yella, Ice Cube and DJ Quik to help me, not necessarily to rap on it, but to produce and be in my corner, then the “D.O.C.” will hit stores!”¹
