The Game really gave us one of the best rap records of the year with The Documentary 2 and The Documentary 2.5. Why they didn't just release the project as a two-disc set is anyone's guess. Well, actually, it was a money grab because 2.5 is being sold for the same price as the first one. Can't knock the hustle. Anyway, while there are many standout tracks on both records, "On Me" featuring King Kendrick Lamar—the second track on the first disc —shows Chuck Taylor at his absolute best with an emphasis on the second verse. So we decided to give him the Best Rap Verse of the Month for October. Last month the nod went to N.J.'s Da$h for his verse on "Shark Tank" featuring $ha Hef and A$ton Matthews.
Check Game's offering below:
First of all, the Badu "On & On" sample is incredible. Shouts to Bongo and Pops for flipping that. Secondly, K. Dot's influence on this track is apparent and a very good thing. That kid knows how to make a record. His shit always has bridges and remarkable structure. Kenny was a civic engineer in a past life. Lastly, the Game went the fuck off, didn't he? That's a tall task considering Lamar usually washes people on their shit. Chuck was having none of it. He showed wordplay, imagery, and slick lines all over this long ass verse. Who sleepin' on the Game? Wake his ass up.
