The Game - The Documentary

Unexpectedly, this Game album is a concept piece inspired by Nick Broomfield's documentary about South African white supremacist, Eugene Terreblanche - hence the title 'The Documentary'.

The Game commented: "People may have expected me to record another album about the hood full of name-dropping of other west coast rap stars, but that's just not me.

"I was profoundly affected by Broomfield's portrait of Eugene Terreblanche. It was astonishing to realise that such a man could wield power in this day and age, but more than that, the film was an intriguing insight into a certain part of South African society.

"It was strange to see the human side of such outwardly hateful people, while at the same time, it was astounding to see the delusion behind their unsavoury beliefs.

"Hopefully this record will reflect that. I don't even say 'ho' on it or anything."

The Game - Doctor's Advocate

I frigging hate The Game and I'll tell you why. I play this game called The Game. The rules of The Game are that if you think of The Game, you lose The Game. You can't win. You can only lose. The only way you can think about The Game without losing The Game is if someone else has just lost it and mentioned the fact.

As you might expect, I tend to lose The Game when I hear The Game's name mentioned. I have a similar problem with the film called The Game, starring Michael Douglas.

My second problem with The Game, the rapper, is that The Game is a quite astonishingly ludicrous and nonsensical name. I mean, 'The'? Who calls themself 'The' anything? Even Sting doesn't call himself 'The' and he's a prick these days.

Track 16 is entitled 'Why You Hate The Game' so presumably he just repeats the points I've just made. Maybe he meant to include a question mark at the end, in which case the reasons above should function as an answer.

At least the album title, Doctor's Advocate, indicates that The Game has a healthy respect for the medical profession. Maybe proceeds from sales go straight to the NHS or something. That would make up for all the rude words included on this record. Only one track, the last one, isn't labelled 'explicit'. It's called 'I'm Chillin'.

I think I might add an 'explicit' tag to this site. Everyone knows that it acts like a beacon for children and teenagers who come in search of boobs and guns.
