Cole, Kendrick Lamar and more "lean," Jesus Piece is less all-over-the-place than The R.E.D. Even so, it's more focused than he's been in awhile, and while you couldn't call an album featuring 2Chainz, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Lil Wayne (twice), Future, Young Jeezy, Chris Brown, Common, Pusha T, Jamie Foxx, J. The album and song titles hint at a sustained religious fascination, but this isn't Game's concept album. Longtime collaborators Cool & Dre soak his ruined voice in greyscale synth tones in "Can't Get Right" and "Pray" and then give him a helium-filled bouncy castle of New Jack Swing vocals on "All That". Jake One gives him an infectious early-Kanye-style beat, reminiscent of "The Glory", for "Hallelujah", and Game makes a very early-Kanye-style song out of it. SAP provides the catchy Bone Thugs redux "Celebration" and the choir-sampling "Name Me King", a song that also has a sharply focused verse from Pusha T.

He's always boasted excellent, if unadventurous, taste in beats, and he sources some excellent ones on Jesus Piece from SAP, a 22-year-old kid from Delaware whose biggest hits thus far have been Mac Miller's "Donald Trump" and Meek Mill's pre-MMG street hit "In My Bag". What presumably keeps him going- besides, of course, a frightening, "Walking Dead"-like tenacity- is that when you scrape away all these irritating quirks, he remains reliably good at cobbling together poppy gangsta-rap songs. Coyote no matter how many times he blows himself to smithereens, he survives to do it again another day.

It hit the top of the charts with what felt like a dead-cat-bounce, but here the Game is, seemingly unscathed, with another full platter of his signature blend of desperate-networker hip-hop. Album, a project with a development so troubled it redefined the lengths a record label will go to double down on a losing hand. Truthfully, it's a little shocking to see another Game product in stores a mere year after The R.E.D. Game's business is making you cringe for him, and business is.well, it remains a business. He yells "Murder is what I do to these Just Blazes," on an album produced entirely without Just Blaze's input.
At one point, he interrupts himself to say "Hold on, I gotta take Birdman's call," before interpolating audio of a Birdman voicemail. He tells us that his iPod is "shuffling between Common, Jay Electronica, and Bono" on "Heaven's Arms". To date, the album has been certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), with an excess of two million copies sold in the United States.Here are some other things the Game says on Jesus Piece: He reminds us on "Freedom", again, that Eminem murdered him on T he Documentary's "We Ain't", as if if wasn't embarrassing enough when he exclaimed it on that very song. In its fifth week, it suffered a 21% decrease, sliding to number 10, selling 75,000 copies. However, the album slid another spot down to number 4.

In the second week, the album rose to number one, overtaking Blige, making Foxx as the fourth artist to ever won a Academy Award for acting, while achieving a number-one album on the US Billboard charts. Blige's The Breakthrough on the US Billboard 200, with 597,000 copies in its first week. The album debuted at number 2, beating behind Mary J.
