The Game
Album: "Untold Story Part 2"
Release Date: Jul 26, 2005
Label: Fast Life Music

review: Untold Story, Pt. 2" (2005) is a release containing previously unreleased music from The Game (Aka Jayceon Taylor). This music was made before Game signed to Aftermath and dropped his hit album "The Documentary". I originally reviewed the first "Untold Story", and warned people to expect a different sounding Game, who would not have Aftermath’s premium production (that same warning can be applied here). Early tracks are decent but don’t standout that much for me.

The best of these for me is "For My Gangsterz" which opens with an Easy-E sample. Game rhymes about the struggles of growing up poor with no direction on "Just Beginning (Where I’m From)", this cuts simple instrumental works well and Game’s lyrics are on point. Game reps his hood on "Born and Raised in Compton" (Raised as a G), with a different sounding flow. My favourite track on this release is the short gem "Walk Thru The Sky", backed by a ill beat, Game delivers some very memorable lyrics. "Game Get Live" is a decent closer. Overall "Untold Story, Pt. 2." is an average release; all the same Game fans may enjoy checking this one out, as it is going to be sometime before Game drops another album.
