 The Game loves hip-hop. The music fills him with joy and it overflows into his lyrics. Sure, it turns into some serious namedropping (almost always), but it’s also the reason why he’s three-for-three in the category of dope, dope records. And on LAX, even more than on The Documentary or Doctor’s Advocate, The Game pairs that unabashed love with swirling ideas and concepts that elevate the record to an easy contender for album of the year.

Jeezy brags on his albums about selling cocaine; The Game waxes poetic about gang warfare. Yet with their third CDs, they share a tough choice: Switch things up or stick with the formulas that earned their previous efforts gold and platinum plaques?
It's clear from The Recession's first track that Jeezy has done the former, ditching the ebullient street-capitalist persona of his first two CDs: ''It's the recession/Everybody broke,'' he gripes. A majestic wall-of-synths backdrop prevents that intro from feeling like too much of a bummer, though — a balancing act the rapper repeats throughout the album. Jeezy has assembled a politically tinged disc that will sound spectacular blasting out of dashboard speakers for the rest of the year...assuming anyone can still afford to drive a car by then....full text |
