...exemplified on “Let’s Ride”—is a 50 Cent-influenced song-rap. The B-grade Dre beats just ooze of lameness, and so does Game, with his mind-numbingly repetitive wannabe lyrics. Some of the more egregious fanboy examples are worth noting for their sheer insufferability. There’s the word-for-word copying of the post-track Snoop Dogg monologue from 2Pac’s “All About U,” changing only the names of the rappers who, according to the decade-old classic...
...release, revisiting the juncture of Highways 61 and 49—the crossroads where they say the king of all bluesmen, the legendary Robert Johnson, sold his soul to the devil for musical genius.

They eventually escape to safety - and the waiting arms...
