Hell, most people (even rap fans) just won’t even realise it for a while. It’s not even going to sell 10% of what that lot managed. It’s not going to be a classic with the huge singles that Pac, Biggie or OutKast had. The Game has made a classic double album. So here’s the shock, ladies and gentlemen… In my eyes, none of those albums were worth the “double” tag – it seemed like Tupac and Nas were trying to get their contracts over more quickly, Jay himself said BP2 was too long (and quickly released a “2.1” version) and “Life After Death” is possibly the only one that earns it, yet would still have been better as a single disc. You could continually argue that “it could have been cut down to one disc!” In fact, Flash himself effectively based his entire Nas review on that premise. There really aren’t many classic double albums, rap or not. I managed to squeeze in concurrent listens of “All Eyez On Me” and “Life After Death” spun “Street’s Disciple” and “The Blueprint 2”, too. It’s a risky strategy, and one which has almost no chance of success when you factor in when his last truly great album was, the current rap landscape and just how hard it is pull off a double LP. After all, The Game takes (intentionally?) 2.5 hours to draw you into his life and city – and it’s not always pretty. Dre’s final album, or Kendrick Lamar’s recent masterpiece. Having listened to D2 and D2.5 continuously, I feel like I know a lot more about the place – it’s been far more informative than Dr. All I saw was a guy riding his bicycle and… Sticking up his middle finger at the Google van. Now, I have no idea whether this is Blood or Crip territory, or what the socioeconomic future is of this district holds. It landed near at 1289 East Pine Street, on the corner with North Long Beach Boulevard. I looked at the map, made (what I thought was) an educated guess and dropped a pin. I’m willing to bet that you haven’t either… And so, I took a trip there – via Google Street View. I’ve heard the word a million times, bought the albums, seen the films, and know all about where the city lies within the grand scheme of hip hop history. Having become engrossed in “The Documentary 2” and the second disc “2.5”, something finally hit me: I’ve never been to Compton.
