In June 2015, in an interview with Power 106, The Game said that the album was about 90% done, and that he had been waiting on Dr. Dre to get back from vacation, so he could finish the album.[4] He said that his children were his motivation to finish the album, and spoke about being confident on his growth as a rapper: “I listened to my first album and everybody thinks it’s so amazing, but I think I’m better than that. I listened to it and heard all of the flaws of the young me, and I’m like, ‘Man I would have never done this song like that today.'”

According to The Game, Dr. Dre was excited about the album and called The Documentary 2 the best rap album in five years. On July 21, 2015, The Game revealed that Diddy said The Documentary 2 is “his best album yet”.
