The only thing in our society that is more played out than the Game's bitchassness is the phrase "played out". I mean really, who has enough discretionary income to throw away $12 in this Great Recession on a Game album? How many banal references to 64' Impalas, name-drops, and faux beef can one fan stomach in a lifetime? Unfortunately, this utterly untalented scourge of rap is a vestige of Dr. Dre and 50 Cent's gimmick to revive the West Coast rap scene, and it has endured long enough!
And if it wasn't enough that I had to bear years of impressionable Game acolytes poorly defend this guy, now he commits the most egregious form of rap sacrilege by taking shots at Jay-Z to boost his upcoming album sales. By now, most readers(which doesn't appear to be many yet by the blog counter) have perceived my professional bias to Sean Carter. You've also probably determined that this entry is a personal rant that never formally develops a point. OK, you got me. Bottom line...f@%& Jayceon Taylor! When will we raise our musical standards? Where do we draw the line with these rappers who have pasts and presents that contradict their gangster posturing? Let the photo serve as my conclusion.
You can only blame other West Coast rappers for not stepping up their collective games. When only one cat is reppin', only one cat get the attention (i.e. Crucial Conflict circa mid 90's). If more talented cats would shine from the Golden State then who knows(cough, cough Blu). In conclusion, Mr Carter needs to just ether the poor bastard.
