A funny thing happened to Juelz Santana on his way to making his sophomore album, What the Game's Been Missing. He fell in love with music. This isn't to say that the young Harlemite didn't have love for music beforehand. But in making his new album, Santana indulged his gift of gab by constructing his own studio."When you have your own place to make music, it becomes that much more of a priority. When you can dictate everything about your project that way, you start to really feel the music, feel every beat, every line. It becomes a part of you in a way that just doesn't happen when you're on someone else's dime and someone else's schedule."You can feel the passion in the music. With the first two singles, Santana has landed a 1-2 combo that still has hip-hop heads spinning. The royal horns of "Mic Check 1, 2" and the absolutely addictive whistles of "There It Go" show off an even more focused Juelz Santana, tossing off ad-libs that other MC's would sign over their lives for ("Don't watch me. Watch T.V.")"On my first album, I feel like I let a lot of things just go. This time around though, I felt like it was all on me. That's why I built my own studio. That's why I directed my own video. They always say, you wait your whole life to make that first album and pour your whole life into it. But I feel like this one, man, this is my baby."
