For those who don’t know Game has a new album entitled L.A.X dropping on July 8. I finally had the chance to listen to his new single, “Game’s Pain”, which features RnB star Keyshia Cole. After hearing the song I have to give it 3 ½ out of five stars. I feel the song was a great idea but was executed horribly. I like where Game was trying to go, but the effort behind the lyrics wasn’t what it should have been. He is basically giving a rundown of the people he used to look up to in hip hop, and paying homage. He also describes elements of his life with the songs and artist that were prevalent during certain times. Keyshia did an excellent job on the hook and definitely did her job on the song.
The thing that gets me about the song is Game’s presentation of the lyrics; delivery/ flow. It’s sounds like you can almost hear Game reading from a piece of paper while reciting these lyrics; it should not be like this. I do however like how Game cares about the culture of hip hop and tries to make songs with some thought to them, but he has to work on his delivery; and please get some energy. It’s still good to hear songs like this, so yea, give it a listen. It’s definitely a feel good song.
Heres the song…
