After releasing in 2008, suffered his own three-year layoff due to legal problems and a fight with the crippling disease Bell's palsy. Add a paradigm shift in hip-hop radio, where the introspection of and found favor over and 's extroverted pusher music, then top if off with a slew of missed released dates and the whole thing stinks of a setup, which is why any fond appreciation of must come from the 'warts and all' department. This unforgiving return to form doesn’t suffer from being over-thought and it’s not even overwrought, but it is overstuffed at 14 tracks (make that 18 for the deluxe version) and the most welcoming moments are pushed to the back (the 'F.A.M.E.' /'I Do'/'Higher Learning' sequence is like a trap music glitter dome with,,, and all on the guest list). These minor complaints will matter little to returning fans as their needs are put first with the front half of album rolling like a steamroller fueled by grind-time anthems. Even the hack 'game needs me'-styled opener is welcome as the rapper forces 'Waiting' out of his hoarse throat like it was gravel, and after 'What I Do' does something infectious and incredible with an economic hook and a beat, the bold 'OJ' comes along filled with iffy metaphors and a trailer load of controversy.

The scattershot and irresponsible number is a red herring and kept a safe distance from the album’s true key track, 'Trapped,' where and offer a crafted and complicated social statement, one that’s soulful and the worthy successor to 'My President.' What’s made 's evolution as an artist interesting is that this rebel without a cause sometimes finds one, and even when he's more Hulk than Bruce Banner, his changes are driven by emotion rather than something calculated. Here he's driven by the hunger to put things back where they were and live up to 's official subtitle, Hustlerz Ambition, along with its unofficial one, Trap or Die Tryin'.

I assumed Game’s was an anomaly, but maybe it was more like a blueprint. Mtg Shandalar Game. Here’s the plan.

Be a rap star. Have your album delayed repeatedly until people start to wonder if it will ever actually come out, all while releasing singles that come and go quicker than a Kardashian marriage. By the time an official date is finally set, previously sky high expectations will have plummeted.
