    This sprawling album [is] his most solid release since the original Documentary. It's nothing more or less than the complex story of a lifelong hip-hop fan who's happiest when he can see himself as part of the history he embraces so vocally.

    Rarely does The Documentary 2 feel, or sound, important enough to warrant a double album, especially not one that spans three hours. The Documentary 2 perhaps works best when Game suffuses tracks with growing pains.

    Album took me completely by surprise, usually when an artist comes out with a sequel to a previous album, it's to help record sales. TheAlbum took me completely by surprise, usually when an artist comes out with a sequel to a previous album, it's to help record sales. The Documentary 2 is not that at all, and is a true follow on from his first album in my opinion. Dr. Dre's production is extremely prevalent throughout, and reminds me of "Compton" in more than one way. There are, as with most albums, a few songs which are weaker and get skipped when listening, but overall lyrical performance and beat selection proves this to be one of the best hip - hop albums of 2015.… Full Review »
