The Game's debut studio album, The Documentary, is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and we've got it available in a limited edition red marble vinyl exclusively on Complex.
Released in 2005, The Documentary marked one of the most explosive debuts in West Coast hip-hop history. The album introduced The Game as Dr. Dre's latest protégé and featured production from heavyweights including Dre himself, Kanye West, and Just Blaze. With standout tracks like "Hate It Or Love It" and "How We Do," both featuring 50 Cent, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and went on to achieve multi-platinum status.
The Documentary captured a moment when West Coast rap was reclaiming its place in the mainstream conversation. The album's 16 tracks showcase The Game's storytelling ability and his deep connection to Compton's hip-hop legacy, with features from artists like Busta Rhymes, Nate Dogg, and Faith Evans.
