Som udenforstående kan man godt trække lidt på smilebåndet over den amerikanske rapper The Game. Hans væsentligste bidrag til hip hop-historien synes at have været at mangfoldiggøre fænomenet: at trække hip hop-bukserne ned under bagdelen, så man kan se de dyre designer-underbukser. Også baggrunden for denne skive er pudsig: Tilbage i 2012 skabte The Game sit eget label Rolex Records, og startede med at forære alle ansatte et Rolex-ur. Herefter lagde firmaet bag Rolex sag an mod The Game for misbug af varemærke, og The Game ændrede derefter navnet til det charmerende Blood Money. Deraf titlen på albummet, som også er ment som en showcase for selskabets nye signings, heriblandt Skeme og Dubb. De er blandt de mange kollaboratører herpå, sammen med blandt andre Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne og Chris Brown. Og stilen? Aggressiv mainstream-hip hop.

"Blood Moon was announced as a compilation focused on Blood Money, the label the MC launched with Stat Quo, and it was tagged as a "The Game Presents" release until the last minute, which might help explain why it is so darn feature-heavy ... would do fine living in the forgiving lands of stopgap and second tier. Labeled as a Game album proper, it's a serious dip".

""Blood Moon: Year Of The Wolf" starts strong and is at times well crafted, but loses it's focus through features enough to detract from the project's cohesion".
