"Untold Story, Pt. 2" (2005) is a release containing previously unreleased music from The Game (Aka Jayceon Taylor). This music was made before Game signed to Aftermath and dropped his hit album "The Documentary". I originally reviewed the first "Untold Story", and warned people to expect a different sounding Game, who would not have Aftermath's premium production (that same warning can be applied here). Early tracks are decent but don't standout that much for me. The best of these for me is "For My Gangsterz" which opens with an Easy-E sample. Game rhymes about the struggles of growing up poor with no direction on "Just Beginning (Where I'm From)", this cuts simple instrumental works well and Game's lyrics are on point. Game reps his hood on "Born and Raised in Compton" (Raised as a G), with a different sounding flow. My favourite track on this release is the short gem "Walk Thru The Sky", backed by a ill beat, Game delivers some very memorable lyrics. "Game Get Live" is a decent closer. Overall "Untold Story, Pt. 2." is an average release; all the same Game fans may enjoy checking this one out, as it is going to be sometime before Game drops another album.

"This album is not under Aftermath so the production is not going to be top notch. But most of the songs are good and lyrics are great and he does not name drop like on his first where he said a lot of names in his songs. Anyways buy this album if you are a Game fan and want to hear more of him and also get his mixtapes You Know What It Is Vol. 3 and You Know What It Is Vol. 4 both of these mixtapes diss gay unit and buy these from a seller named Ariallon he is very good and you will get your mixtapes fast. Buy this album with the other albums i just mentioned."

Uninspired.

"This cd doesn't live up to The Documentary. The Documentary was an incredible debut album, and I don't know if any of his future albums could possibly live up to it. This one doesn't. It's missing the production quality and polish that that cd had. I don't think this album sold well because of the lack of reviews and for the fact that I didn't see any advertising for it at all. The game is great however this cd is sub par. I decided to give it 3 stars instead of 2 because it's gangsta grittyness kept my head bobbing. Let's hope that he can make great albums in the future. And let's hope that he can be successful without g-unit because this album doesn't persuade me that he can be."
