On “Compton,” and to a lesser extent on the Public Enemy-jacking “Remedy,” Game transcends his obsessions with the Good Doctor and label politics and creates an organic, vivid Compton soundscape. Alas, next comes Scott Storch. He produces the same “Still D.R.E.”-derived track three or four times on the album. The result—exemplified on “Let’s Ride?...
