The Game called his project “The album of the year” but his numbers aren’t promising.
The Game finally released his most recent studio album, DRILLMATIC – Heart vs. Mind, after several delays.
The lengthy 31-track project, which clocks in at almost two hours, has several high-name guest appearances, including Kanye West on the previously released singles “Eazy” and “Fortunate” alongside Dreezy and CHILLER, Lil Wayne and G Herbo on “Chrome Slugs & Harmony,” Pusha T and 2 Chainz on “No Man Falls,” YoungBoy Never Broke Again on “O.P.P.” Big Sean’s “Stupid,” A$AP Rocky’s “Money Cash Clothes,” and others Rick Ross on “Save the Best for Last,” Nipsey Hussle on “World Tours,” along with the most talked diss track The Black Slim Shady.
In other now-deleted Instagram postings, the rapper guaranteed fans the DRILLMATIC will show them “why I’m the best rapper alive.” “My controversy has always stepped on my greatness,” he said, “but that’s all about to change.”
Eminem also released Curtain Call 2, his second greatest hits album earlier this month. It included almost no brand-new songs, yet it still managed to sell 45,000 album copies in its first week.

How much less is still unclear

Let’s see whether The Game album is fueled with the Diss track and Eminem’s name helps the lp take off.
