The Game releases 'The Documentary III' amid Kendrick Lamar speculation
Compton rapper The Game has released 'The Documentary III', the third installment in his acclaimed album series, following an unexpected surprise drop. The 24-track project features a wide array of guest appearances, including Drake, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, and Lil Wayne.
The release has sparked significant discussion regarding The Game's relationship with fellow Compton artist Kendrick Lamar. While some listeners and critics suggest the lyrics contain subtle jabs at Lamar—specifically referencing his 'Boogeyman' nickname and the GNX—The Game has explicitly denied these claims on social media, stating, “Ain’t diss nobody on that song.”
The album also addresses the 2024 rap conflict between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. On the track “Geezus,” The Game expresses a refusal to pick sides in the feud, rapping that being from the West Side means one does not have to choose. Additionally, the project includes a collaboration with Drake titled “No Brakes” and features a track with Kanye West that touches on the artist's controversial past comments.
Beyond the lyrical content, the album serves as a major career milestone for The Game, who has described the project as a significant reset. It also includes a surprise appearance by the late Drakeo The Ruler.
