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."

The Game's "Body Bags" is a menacing track from his "You Know What It Is, Vol. 4" mixtape. In "Body Bags," The Game delivers venomous verses filled with violent threats and boasts of gangsterism. The whispered introduction gives the song a sense of danger as The Game declares that it's murder. The song's three verses are dedicated to dissing 50 Cent and his G-Unit crew, and the chorus emphasizes that out in the streets, they call it murder. The Game threatens to kidnap 50 Cent's son, taunts G-Unit members such as Tony Yayo and Spider Loc, and claims he's got a place where bodies don't get found. The Game's unapologetic and brutal verses paint a picture of a world where violence is met with violence.
The Game's "Body Bags" is a standout track on his "You Know What It Is, Vol. 4" mixtape, which features guest appearances from artists such as Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Nas. The song's lyrics caused controversy when the mixtape was released in 2007, with many criticizing The Game's violent threats and disrespectful lyrics towards 50 Cent and his associates. However, the song was also widely praised for its hard-hitting production and The Game's intense delivery. "Body Bags" is a prime example of The Game's ability to create street anthems that resonate with fans of gangsta rap.
