customer review:
The Game (Aka Jayceon Taylor) "Untold Story" (2004) was quietly released several months ago. Since that time Compton’s Game a member of G-Unit has been gaining major attention in the commercial Hip Hop world popping up everywhere, his highly anticipated upcoming album "The Documentary" is going to be released in three weeks. His single with 50 Cent "How We Do" has been exploding on the Hip Hop charts, and Game’s mixtape tape solos and collaborations with a wide variety of Rappers has the industry buzzing.

All that said its time to get into a description of this release, "Untold Story" really has a different sounding Game, and completely lacks the premium Aftermath production, which will be part of the new album. I think its fair that people who are going to buy this know the above, that way they don’t end up disappointed. Guest appearances come from JT the Bigga Figga (who executive produced this), Sean T, Blue Chip, San Quinn, Telly Mac, Young Noble and the Get Low Playaz. Standouts for me are "Im Looking" feat. Blue Chip, "Real Gangstaz" and Don’t Cry" feat. Blue Chip, which is a deep track where Game talks about his son.

One of the album’s most grimy tracks "Compton Compton" closes the album off well. Having followed Game closely over recent months I have to honestly say this material is second rate compared to what’s to come. Unless your a massive Game fan and want all his material I recommend skipping the "Untold Story" and waiting for the "The Documentary" (2005) which is going to be an album worth buying.

Productions: Charile-O and T-Wayne
