What do you know about "The Game"??

Jayceon Terell Taylor, known as The Game (born November 27, 1979 in Compton, California), is an American rapper signed to Aftermath Entertainment. The Game is proving to be a driving force in bringing back the West Coast hip hop scene and competing with many of his East Coast counterparts.

The Game was born in Compton. He grew up in a primarily Crips neighborhood and was a Piru Blood. The rapper's nickname is said to have been coined by his grandmother, who supposedly said that he was always "Game" for anything. His mother and father were both affiliated gang members. The Game played high school basketball and was teammates with future basketball player Tyson Chandler at Dominguez High School. The rapper's family was separated after The Game's sister accused his dad of molesting her. The Game then spent a large part of his child hood in a boy's home in Carson, California.[2]

Finally the rapper was reunited with his family, but later was kicked out of the house when his mom asked him what he was going to do with his life and he replied that he was going to be a rapper. While out of the house one of his brothers was shot dead. After this The Game got closer with his older brother Big Fase. The Game had a short stint in college, but was expelled because of drug allegations. It was then that he started selling drugs.[3]

The Game was shot five times in the chest, arms and legs after a failed drug deal in 1999. This attack put him in a three day coma. While recovering in the hospital, he decided to pursue a career in the rap industry. The Game stated that he studied various rap albums in order to develop a good strategy to become the greatest. After being signed independently to JT the Bigga Figga, The Game was discovered by Dr. Dre.

The Game was originally signed as an artist on Aftermath Entertainment, but Interscope Records CEO Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre decided to have The Game work with 50 Cent and G-Unit. The arrangement was to help build a growing buzz around The Game which would also fuel interest in G-Unit. Dr. Dre and 50 Cent were executive producers on The Game's debut album, The Documentary. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard music charts and spawned hit singles such as "How We Do" and "Hate It or Love It" featuring 50 Cent, and "Dreams", a song dedicated to American Tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams' sister.

The original title of the album was ***** Wit' An Attitude Volume 1, as can be seen in the lyrics to Dreams, but an injunction filed at the request of Eazy-E's widow prevented him from using N.W.A.'s name in the album title.

The Game has became involved with numerous feuds with rappers, as well as a target for the police surveillance. The rapper has previously had rivalries with Suge Knight of Death Row Records, Joe Budden, Yukmouth, Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek of Roc-A-Fella Records. The most recent rivalry is with labelmate 50 Cent and G-Unit.

In 2004, 50 Cent criticized Joe Budden's album for "lacking street credibility." Budden took offense and released various insults directed at G-Unit. The Game did a freestyle for DJ Clue, and then Joe Budden used the end of the freestyle without notifying The Game. While on the end, Joe Budden took shots at G-Unit. During 2004, The Game made several records against Joe Budden, notoriously the track "Buddens." The Game threatened Joe Budden and supposedly flew to New York to confront him. Joe Budden mocked The Game's appearance on the dating game show "Change of Heart". On his web site, The Game defended his embarrassing appearance on the show, saying that he was young and needed the money, also he stated on his Stop Snitchin' Stop Lyin' DVD that he was on the show with two girls making him a pimp. Later, at a party in New York, the rappers mutually announced their intention to stop making hostile records about each other, but The Game has subsequently suggested in songs and videos that he won the feud.

Yukmouth confronted The Game at a party and stated to him that he had a beef with 50 Cent. The Game told Yukmouth that he was only with G-Unit for the money. Soon a video surfaced on the Internet in which Yukmouth appeared in a studio with rapper Domination, who was making a disrespectful song aimed at G-Unit. At the end of the clip, Yukmouth claims that The Game had a tongue ring. (The piercing is viewed as effeminate.) The Game fired back with performing an Ice Cube move by dissing the rap veteran over his own "I Got 5 On It" beat. Yukmouth responded with a diss track of his own which referred to the Change of Heart and tongue ring incidents. Yukmouth released a mixtape called "All Out War," attacking The Game on several tracks. The two tried to bury the hatchet and even recorded a song together in hopes of squashing the beef. However, Game wanted Yukmouth to record the track with him in Compton. Yukmouth recorded his verse and sent it to Game because he feared it was a setup. Game took this as a sign of weakness and dissed Yukmouth on the track. Yukmouth and Game have both recently said they ended the rivalry this time and recorded another song together.

The Game currently has an escalating feud with 50 Cent. Fans mostly believed that the rapper was bonding with 50 Cent at the time of The Documentary's release. The Game's major debut album was surrounded by controversy. Soon after its release, 50 Cent felt that the rapper was disloyal for saying he wanted to work with artists with whom G-Unit were feuding, and he formally dismissed the rapper.

50 Cent also claimed that he was not getting his proper credit for the creation of the album. During that dispute, a member of The Game's entourage was shot after confrontation at Hot 97.[9]. After the situation between them escalated, 50 Cent and The Game decided to hold a press conference to announce their reconciliation [10]. Many fans had mixed feelings as to whether this truce was legit or along with the incident at the radio station, was a publicity stunt designed to boost the sales of the two albums the pair had just released [11]. Nevertheless, even after the situation had apparently deflated [12], 50 Cent and G-Unit continued to feud with The Game, denouncing his street credibility in the media and claiming that without their support, he will not score a hit from his second album. The Game responded during a performance at the Summer Jam and launched a boycott called "G-Unot" [13].

After the performance at Summer Jam, The Game responded with "300 Bars and Runnin'", a hard hitting diss going at G-Unit as well as members of Roc-A-Fella Records. 50 Cent had mixed feelings about the situations and placed blame on Dr. Dre for his slow response to end the feud. Nevertheless, he responded through his "Piggy Bank" video, which features The Game as a Mr. Potato Head doll and parodies many other rivals. 50 Cent has recently responded to the rapper's rebutals with a diss song titled "Not Rich, Still Lyin." The song imitates The Game and attacks his credibility and his recent feud with his brother, former manager Big Fase 100. The Game has recently replied to mixtapes recordings aimed at G-Unit with the song "240 Bars (Spider Joke)" which goes at G-Unit signed artists Spider Loc, Mobb Deep and M.O.P.. [14] This was the first of many feuds where two rappers from the same label were involved against each other.

Within the rap community, many of The Game's fans felt that the diss song entitled "300 Bars and Runnin'" was the rebutal that destroyed the credibility of 50 Cent and G-Unit. While it addressing his labelmates, The Game made clear that his attacks are also meant for Memphis Bleek, Benzino, and the Young Gunz. The Game chose to distance himself from addressing Jay-Z and Dr. Dre as well as others on this single. Although it's unclear whether or not the feud is squashed, but as of today The Game still feuds with various G-Unit and Roc-A-Fella artists. The song is considered a first for it being the only song by far to last almost 15 minutes through various instrumentals from many of hip-hop's elite. The fans consider this single a major success to the rapper's career. [16]

The Game planned on releasing a mixtape and DVD titled "Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin'", and is said to be the last of the "beef" between him and G-Unit. On the prequel to "300 Bars and Runnin'" the rapper released the final diss towards G-Unit. The single "120 Bars" and the DVD discloses that the song would be the end of the feud between him and his rivals. The "Stop Snitchin', Stop Lyin'" DVD contains controversial images and is proposed to be an insider's look at what occurred after being dropped from G-Unit including the beginnings of the "G-Unot" movement. It was finally released in January 2006 after a few set backs. The examples explained in the DVD plays in an on-going controversy that most rappers use in order to earn street credibility. This is based on rappers not determined to talk to police.
