Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Game Theory is the seventh album by hip hop music group The Roots released in 2006 on Def Jam.Inspired by darker subject matter such as the war in Iraq, the state of contemporary black music and the death of J Dilla. The record would be much darker lyrically and sonically in comparison to their previous record The Tipping Point, with the record harkening back to their tight jazz-influenced sound with more influence from experimental music and conscious lyrics that would put them in the realm of seminal political hip hop artists such as Public Enemy. The record would also see the band using newer recording techniques as much of the record was produced using GarageBand,a music software application developed by Apple.Considered one of their most acclaimed records, it would lauded for its dense, often dark lyrical content and experimental sound, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the pop band Game Theory or the Web Video series of the same name.Tracklist "Dilltastic Vol Won(derful)" (0:28) "False Media" (2:44) "Game Theory" (4:01) "Don't Feel Right" (4:08) "In the Music" (4:07) "Take It There" (2:50) "Baby" (2:50) "Here I Come" (4:11) "Long Time" (4:21) "Livin' in a New World" (1:47) "Clock with No Hands" (4:23) "Atonement" (2:35) "Can't Stop This" (8:35) | |

Miniscule Rocking: "Dilltastic" is only twenty-eight seconds, however it gets a pass given it's the record's introductory track. However, "Livin' in a New World" doesn't even make it to two minutes. | |

In Memoriam | |
| Game Theory (Music) / int_31f344c7 | comment |
In Memoriam: "Can't Stop This" is this for hip hop producer J Dilla, as the track opens with a voicemail of Questlove's lauding Dilla's skill an personality and even ends with members of The Roots praising him with the phrase "J Dilla Forever" being echoed at the end. | |

Sampling | |
| Game Theory (Music) / int_515eeccc | comment |
Sampling: "Dilltastic Vol Won(derful) samples "You'll Know When You Get There" by Herbie Hancock & "Fantastic" by Slum Village. The title track utilizes a vocal sample "Life of Fortune and Fame" by Sly and the Family Stone & interpolates "Don't Believe the Hype" by Public Enemy "Don't Feel Fight" samples "Jungle Boogie" by Kool & the Gang and "Ecstasy" by the Ohio Players "Can't Stop This" heavily samples "Time: The Donut of the Heart" by J Dilla and a vocal sample of "All I Do Is Think of You" by The Jackson 5. The final half of the track utilizes a drum loop from "To You With Love" by The Moments. | |

Political Rap: Although this record wouldn't be the first time they would delve into this subgenre of hip hop, it would be the record be focused completely in this subgenre. | |

Take That! | |
| Game Theory (Music) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: "Baby" is this to critics of rap music. With verses telling the perspectives of those who mostly write it off as just "black music". "Don't Feel Right" is this towards mainstream rappers who choose to portray a hard image and refuse to speak on social ills for the sake of commercial success. | |
