"The Game, LAX: * * * * -- Perfect landing
Twenty years after N.W.A’s Straight Outta Compton, their musical godchild celebrates the hood life on his third — and reportedly last — album. In between bookend prayers by DMX, the controversial Compton native exalts West Coast thug culture, and Ice Cube shows up early on to give his nod of approval on State of Emergency.
Throughout, The Game flays rivals and trumpets his own skills and success. He attacks the beats — provided by the likes of J.R. Rotem, Kanye West, Cool & Dre, Scott Storch, Hi-Tek and DJ Toomp — with lyrical ferocity. His stellar guests — Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Raekwon, Ne-Yo, Keisha Cole, Nas, Travis Barker — help him load a full clip of street-ready missives and radio-friendly jams.
Much like Lil Wayne earlier this year, LAX’s release was moved often as anticipation mounted. And again like Lil Wayne, The Game doesn’t disappoint. — Steve Jones" - USAToday.com
