Doctor's Advocate is the the second studio album by American rapper The Game, released in 2006 on Geffen Records. Due to his disputes with labelmate 50 Cent, The Game had departed from Aftermath/G-Unit and signed to Geffen to terminate his contractual obligations with G-Unit in the summer of 2006. The album is titled after and features many references to Dr. Dre, who played a big role in The Game's debut The Documentary but makes no contribution to this album. Doctor's Advocate features guest appearances from major West Coast hip hop artists Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, Nate Dogg, and Xzibit. Nas and Kanye West also make guest appearances, with the latter also producing one song. The album features production from past Game collaborators West, Just Blaze, Scott Storch and Hi-Tek.
Doctor's Advocate debuted at #1 on the BIllboard 200, selling over 358,000 copies in its first week, making it Game's second consecutive number one album. Upon its release, the album received positive reviews from critics, who praised the production but still had mixed feelings over Game's rapping.
