The Sum Up: The Game “The Documentary”
The Game’s debut album The Documentary is a defining moment in early 2000s hip-hop. Released in 2005, the record showcases The Game’s gritty lyricism and storytelling, heavily influenced by his Compton roots. With standout production from Dr. Dre, Kanye West, and Scott Storch, and guest features from legends like 50 Cent and Eminem, this album is a perfect blend of West Coast swagger and mainstream appeal. Tracks like “Hate It or Love It” and “How We Do” cement its status as a timeless classic in hip-hop culture.
