For you frequent readers, I did a post reviewing Kendrick Lamar's debut album "good kid, m.A.A.d. city" where I relayed my opinion that the hype exceed the heights that the album reached. Much to the masses chagrin, my post also drew a comparison between Lamar and The Game with his first release. We'll lookie lookie here...Kendrick Lamar featured on a Game track. I knew I was on to something. Not to continue to pile on Lamar here, but he doesn't really add anything valuable to the track. He is relegated to only doing the hook a la Kid Cudi on Gorgeous and the whole vocal effect he uses (which is extremely similar to what Big Boi does) doesn't vibe with me that well on this one. Not crazy about the beat either, it's well done but rather drab. But on to what is good about this track; the lyrics. The Game sets up a subtle social commentary on the natural violent nature of humanity while addressing the folklore surrounding the mystery of certain celebrity deaths. Scarface picks right up where Game left off and where he left us since we heard him last. Scarface adds his own disbelief of how some iconic music figures died, which is contrary to the public record. Spoiler alert, he thinks they all were murdered. They both bring it lyrically on this track and it's great to hear from Scarface, but Murder is certainly not the best #sundayservice sermon.
