1. Jayceon Terrell Taylor (born November 29, 1979 in Compton, California, United States), better known by his stage name Game, formerly known as The Game, is an American Grammy Award winning gangsta rapper signed to Aftermath Entertainment through his own label Black Wall Street Records, with which he founded with his half brother Big Fase 100. He rose to fame in 2005 with the success of his debut album, The Documentary, and his two Grammy nominations. Since then he has released several other critically acclaimed albums, 2006's Doctor's Advocate and 2008's LAX. The RED Album was released August 23, 2011. All of his four albums debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 100, and he is widely considered to be a driving force in bringing back the West Coast hip hop scene and competing with many of his East Coast counterparts.

Studying various influential rap albums, Game developed a strategy to become a rapper himself and with help from Big Fase, they founded The Black Wall Street Records. The label originally featured such artists as Glasses Malone, Vita, and Nu Jerzey Devil, along with Game himself. His stage name was coined by his grandmother. Game first gained prominence when he attended a hip-hop summit hosted by Russell Simmons and Louis Farrakhan, releasing his first mixtape You Know What It Is Vol. 1 in 2002, followed by a record deal with the independent label, Get Low Recordz owned by JT the Bigga Figga. Originally Sean Combs of Bad Boy Records was going to sign him to his label, but Game's mixtape found the attention of famed producer Dr. Dre, who signed him to Aftermath Entertainment in 2003. In October 2004, he released his first album Untold Story through Get Low Recordz, which sold over 82,000 copies within its first three months. The album featured artists like Sean T, Young Noble (of the Outlawz), and JT the Bigga Figga. Game also appeared on various mixtapes hosted by DJ's such as DJ Kayslay, DJ Whoo Kid, and DJ Clue. Game also released a second mixtape You Know What It Is Vol. 2 through his own record label and appeared on the video game NBA Live 2004 on a song produced by Fredwreck called "Can't Stop Me". On January 24th, 2011, he released a mixtape entitled, "Purp & Patron."

Head guitar: Terry Spencer Bass guitar: Allan Janaway Drums: Terry Goodsell Vocals: Tony Bird Their biggest success was their first single PlayGonna Get Me Someone from 1966.

It’s line up was : Marc Dimitri (Vocals), Hervé Lorthioir (guitar), Patrick Larrieu (guitar), Jacques-Laurent Lardaud (bass), Fredéric Rottier (Drums), Dominique Cointre (keyboards), Claire (ch).

Overall Meaning

The song "Anybody Killa" by The Game featuring Daz Dillinger and Kurupt is a classic West Coast gangsta rap track. The song talks about survival in the streets, where nobody can be trusted and danger lurks around every corner. The intro sets the tone for the song with shoutouts to the West Coast and various rap groups from Compton and Long Beach. Daz Dillinger's verse talks about the need to be prepared for violence at any time and the importance of loyalty to one's crew. The Game's verse takes a more aggressive approach, with him claiming to be an "anybody killa" who is ready to take on anyone who crosses him. Kurupt's verse continues the theme of gangsterism, with references to the Dogg Pound Gang and the need to be extreme to survive.

One interesting fact about the song is that it was included on The Game's debut album, "The Documentary," which was released in 2005. The album was a critical and commercial success, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and being certified double platinum by the RIAA. Another interesting fact is that the song samples the song "Harder Than You Think" by Public Enemy, which features a very different message about social and political activism. The song has also been remixed and covered by various other artists, including Lil Wayne, Styles P, and Royce Da 5'9". Additionally, The Game and Daz Dillinger have a history of collaboration, having previously worked together on the song "Westside Story" from The Game's debut album.

As for the chords of the song, they are not readily available since the song is primarily based on a beat with rap verses. However, the instrumental track does feature a prominent keyboard riff that could potentially be recreated on a piano or synthesizer. Ultimately, the song's power comes from the raw energy of the lyrics and the hard-hitting backing track, which combine to create a compelling portrait of street life on the West Coast.
