i'm going to give my opinion on every track from the album and give it a rating
1. Looking at you- A real west coast vibe to this song. Basically souding like a dre beat. Game comes withe some clever lines such as "you niggas aint moving shit like the hand on the fake ass rolex" and alson "me and my mic cant be seperated like interscope and haha." Game just basically talks about how he's back and also metions dre several times. Good way to start off the album as well as a good feature with mac minister explaining "the doctors Advocate"
Beat-8.5
lyrics-8.5
flow(delivery)-8
hook (talking)-8.5
overall rating-8.3
2. Da shit- One of favorite songs off the album, another west coast vibe. game holding it down showing his swagger letting the world know he "cant be stopped". "i got more bitches more plaques,more beef and more straps" "one man show still sell a mother fucka out" Talking about switching the gold dees to platinum on the impala and also speaks on LA. Name dropping like dre numerous times and Rakim. The girl saying "streets of compton" is pretty good some shit you could knock in your car.
Beat-9

hook-8
overall rating-8.3
3. One blood (its okay)- This song grows on you after about 10 spins. A good track to come back on. Addressing that he will be okay without dre or 50. I did not like the hook because it would get repetitive and annoying. This track will catch some feeling from some artist due to the controversial line "turn on ya tv and all ya see is the a/u niggas better make up a dance to try to get radio play/keep on snapping ya fingaz i aint going away" It was said by game that it was at buck and banks but its obvious he's jabbing at the whole south
Beat-7.8
lyrics-8.1
flow(delivery)-8
hook-6
overall rating-7.4 (the hook screwed up the rating)
4. Compton- Possibly my favorite song, will i am killed it with the sample, had it sounding str8 westcoast. This song is one of my favorite lyrical songs from Game. The song speaks for its self Compton repping, game has that swagger once again with some tight lines like when the beat breaks down "i spit for my niggas in the lineup/ that will never see the sun again so i close my blinds up/first album sold em out/impalas rolled em out/cuz the whole mothafucking world wanna know about Compton" I also like how he sampled church for thugs in the beginning of the third verse game flowed well with it. Game showing that he's sitting on the throne with "fuck all rappers/look at all the hate i see/ i'm sick you cant get rid of me i'm HIV/nigga get another job hip hop is not hirering/i'm the reason dre feel comfortable with retireing" and also kicking the dead dog g unit by saying "one man army took out reebocks my self" and also a very good hook by will i am.

5.Remedy- an ok song, a sample from public enemy. Game sort of bringing an NWA type style on this. Bad hook, game talking about watching out in LA saying that rolex is like a trophy and also talks about people walking into roscoes with their chain hanging thinking they're untouchable. Nice way to end the song with the "parental disgretion is advised (beats turns staticky)
Beat-7.5

6. Lets ride- A great club song but he didn't do a candyshop type song. Kept is gangsta and westcoast on this song. Once again dismissing rumors by saying "the game is back the aftermath chain is gone" The questions to this album are starting to be answered track by track. A great Beat provided by scott storch, sound like a dre beat. A good hook provided by game, he sounds like 50 on the hook and raps similar to dr. dre. More swagger on this song "nigga though i wasn't coming back/nigga look at me now hopping out the same cherry 64". Lots of name dropping but good song.

7. Too Much ft. nate dogg- A really nice beat, sort of on some east coast shit. Game came in spitting. Coming with some nice lines an opens up the second verse with some nice lyrics such as “I thought I told you I’m done with the beef clown/my son 3 now/and I’ve been watching dre for so long I’m making beats now” Scott Storch did a good job with this song and could be a possibly single. A good hook by game and Nate dogg was also a positive with this song

8. wouldn't get far ft. kanye west- its one of those hot kanye beats, different then what he did on the documentary. This song calls out many video girls like vida gueurro,hoopz,melissa ford,gloria valdez,tacara,superhead(?) and more. Kanye out shined game with his verse. This could be a possible single even though it calls out certain video girls. "i got the scoop on hoopz/whatever the case/she'll let you spray in her face as long as u let her bathe in apes" People compare this to gold digger and call it gold digger part 2
Beat-8.6

9. Scream on em- Swizz beats provided a hard ass beat on this one. Game came into the verse spitting his violent verse saying "homie its hard not to kill niggas/its like a full time job not to pull out the steel and stick it in ya grill." The hook could get annoying due to the screaming similar to one blood. But when game actually sings on the hook its ok. basically talks about the hood and hip hop in general and finally shouts out his own label 'blow his fuckin back out/because i'm the rap stack house/black wall street bitch the hip hop crack house" The third verse talking about some of the rumors and talking about how bws will take over in '07
Beat-9.1

Hook-7.4

10. One Night- One of my favorite songs on the album about his brother and his hood and how they fell out. Really deep and this is some personal shit from Game. A great beat game supplies some deep lyrics like "and i was still fucking with niggas after i got shot/and didn't get one hospital visit/my homie snoop told me there would be days like this so it hurts my heart to say this shit (goes into the hook)" and also "i dont front about shit/i pull my gun about shit/and let everything fly to keep my son up outta this/i thought u loved me Nigga/talk is cheap/remember the bullet holes in my sons car seat/my baby mama found 4 shell/i didn't get one keep ya head up/all i got was keep it real/keep it real my niggas???/last year alone i spent 1.5 mill on my niggas" A great hook as well. You can tell game is really hurt by this "oh now its fuck gamme naw nigga fuck you/i put that on my life matter of fact that on piru". Game misses his hood and shows it here even if he did diss them.

11. The Doctors Advocate ft. Busta Rhymez- if you have heard "start from scratch" on the documentary this song resembles it almost exactly. The beat is very similar and Game came with a drunk/crying flow like 'start from scratch". The song is a tribute to Dr. Dre and tells his side of the story between him and dre. Game says a couple of times that he turned his back on dre. Taking a subliminal shot at 50 cent and G-unit in the song with a clever line saying "i'm not asking you to take my side in the beef/but you told me it was okay to say fuck the police" and in the fisrt verse he said he turned his back on Dre basically. "dre i aint mean to turn my back on you/but imma man and sometimes i man do what he gotta do remember i'm from compton too". Busta rhymez spit a good verse almost as if he was talking to dre. This is like a letter to dre apolagizing to Dr. Dre. Once again it sounds like a dr. dre beat but its really produced by JR Rotem. A good hook by a girl as well on the song
Beat-9.7

12. Ol' English- A real nice laid back story telling song. Game is a great story teller.Talking about his uncle in the first verse and how he was murdered. Its similar to a timeline. "bought my first converse thought i couldn't be stopped/when i creased up my khakis and threw on my ronnie lott/used to think that i was hard/so i stole my brothers glock/and thats the day my life changed because that night he got shot". Game proves he's been through a lot growing up in the hood when he says "u see this red rag hanging out of my jeans/i went to 20 funerals by the age of 19". A real song an game seems to be maturing near the end of the album.

13. California Vacation ft. snoop dogg and Xzibit- A real west coast sounding track with a hard beat on it. Sound like a dr. dre beat as well. game praiseing that the west coast is back on the first verse and also. Snoop reps the west on the hook as this whole song is abvout the west. Snoop out shines game and talking about california and how it isnt a joke. snoop says "i done seen niggas hit LA and get they chain snatched/then they call me up begging me to get they chain back/what i look like?the mothafuckin police/there is certain rules u gotta follow in these streets" Xzibit outshines both on this track and talks about uniting the West and calming the violence .

14. Gang Bang ft. DPG- An ok beat once again sounding like a west coast beat as well as most of the album. Game starts off going back and forth with daz and krupt. An ok at best hook and the beat gets worse on the hook. Daz came ok as well as game. Game came better than both but he didn't come that well compared to the rest of the album. I like how they go back and forth though.

15. Around the Way ft. Jamie Foxx- This is the song for the ladies on the album. A nice feel to it with a good hook. Reminds me of "special" from the documentary. Game basically talks about what he would do and his swagger of getting women. Talking about fucking the women. funny lines like "quit like mase then she came right back/i told you the bitch sex was wack/and you're all i need even jamie knew that" Jamie Foxx came with a greaty hook on this song.

Why hate the game ft nas and marsha- A deffinite classic. A great feel good track with a great beat made by just blaze. Not the usual just blaze. Nas opened the song spitting with a very nice flow "ignore the ignorance/i rep the brilliance of Queensbridge/And pray to fans, let Murder Inc. live..." game recalls camron being shot in his lambo and flows well with this laid back track. Bringing hip hop back and together when saying "I showed my ass at Summer Jam but New York was down with it/Now the ball's in my court, never dribble out of bounds with it./Behind the back to Nas, he alley oop to Jigga, Nigga"
The whole second verse was amazing and also hints he ended g unit but then offers a little peace with 50 at the end i'll post the whole second verse."Me and nasty puffin', this a classic, trust me,
How you gon' pass the dutchie (?) to them niggas that don't love me,
I'm talkin' niggas that never wanted to see me on top,
Same niggas that never wanted to see the Doctor's Advocate drop, flop, I think not,
I'll fuck you rap niggas like virgins,
Dre took my training wheels off his curtains.
I don't need no encore, no claps, no cheers,
The Game ain't over, this the beginning of my career,
The ending of yours, the endin of his,
Like Flavor Flav's clock, I'm back to handle my biz,
Nigga, it's Game Time, that was Dre's favorite line,
Back when proof was in the booth and I recited his lines,
And I still think about my nigga from time to time,
Make me wanna call 50, and let him know what's on my mind,
But I just hold back cuz we ain't beefin like that,
He aint Big, and I ain't Pac, and we just eatin off rap.
One love." Marsha sang great and the chorus kicked in when just blaze starts talking a great way to end the album.
