The Game "The Documentary" (January 18, 2005)


The Documentary is the debut studio album by West Coast rapper, The Game. It was released on January 18, 2005, by Aftermath Entertainment, G-Unit Records and Interscope Records. The record serves as his major-label debut, preceded by his independently-released debut Untold Story in 2004. In 2001, while The Game was in hospital recovering from a shooting, he decided to pursue a career in music. He released the mixtape, You Know What It Is Vol. 1 in 2002, which was later discovered by legendary producer Dr. Dre and led to him signing The Game to his label, Aftermath. The Documentary includes production from high-profile producers such as Dr. Dre, Kanye West, Scott Storch, and Timbaland, among others, as well as guest appearances from 50 Cent, Eminem, Nate Dogg, Faith Evans, and more. This would be The Game's only album on Aftermath and G-Unit Records, as he left the label later in 2005 after a feud began between him and fellow G-Unit label-mate 50 Cent. Along with his debut LP, The Game released The Documentary DVD, which served to show you The Game up close, in/out the studio. The LP was released on 01/18/05. Updated below...
