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."

The Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never said anything, I never take anything back
(Lloyd Banks)
Well you kinda heard me speaking
"You ain't a crip like Snoop, you ain't a blood like Game"
And i was speaking on Game without knowing him
But now, you know alot of these dudes jump in the game
And they rap artists, and that's exactly what they is
(T.I.)
Everybody wanna be the king of the south when,
They ain't runnin the damn thing with they mouth
No doubt, it's all good, y'all just stay in y'all opinions
But in the South and in the hood it's understood without saying
It's a given, and it ain't cause what i'm doin for a livin'
It's more because of what i'm doin how i'm livin
Not to mention when i'm rappin, i'm just hurtin niggas feelings
And still chillin on somethin that's into healing
Man, permissions from the Click to continue to keep it pimpin'
But while the crack was in the house, the record sale went thru the ceiling
So say what you want, and do what you please
But for fun i shoot 22's from your shoes to your knees
I run a record label and a crew of G's
So niggas'll come and look for you if you sneeze
Or even breathe the wrong way
You better do what the song say and be easy, else it'll be a long day
I'm a king - bank rolls in the pockets of my jeans
I'm a king - you pussy niggaz couldn't see me in your dreams
I'm a king - top topic of all of your magazines
I'm a king - head of the body, leader of the team
I'm a king - remember I can get your block knocked off
I'm a king - a Bentley coupe with the top chopped off
I'm a king - I'm connectin nationwide but in the South
I'm a king - just respect it and keep my name out'cha mouth
(The Game)
Everybody wanna be the King of the West
But, they ain't runnin the damn thing in the West
That's to bad, it's all good, they just speakin they minds
Stand on top of the Hollywood sign, you can see that it's mine
I'd rather die, motherfucker, than give up my throne
My crown is a Dodger fitted, California's my home
And it's known when the drama pop off, i bring the chrome
So nigga leave me alone, 'fore i start living my songs
I made a killin drug dealin, some people say i'm a villain
Went from choppin' in the house, to the top of rap gettin millions
So watch your mouth, unless you ready to bleed
Cause to me, murderin wack mc's is somethin like a disease
Top down in the Impala, so i can ride in the breeze
And where i'm from, niggas throwin up B's and C's
So make a turn the wrong way, think about what the song say
And be easy, else it'll be a long day
I'm a king - bank rolls in the pockets of my jeans
I'm a king - you pussy niggaz couldn't see me in your dreams
I'm a king - top topic of all of your magazines
I'm a king - head of the body, leader of the team
I'm a king - remember I can get your block knocked off
I'm a king - a Bentley coupe with the top chopped off
I'm a king - I'm connectin nationwide but in the West
I'm a king - disrespect it i hit your brains with the tech
Keep your eyes off my throne and your hands off my crown
Or get your ass layed back,
Keep your eyes off my throne and your hands off my crown
Or get your ass layed back,
Fuckin with Black Wall Street & Pimp $quad Click
Get layed out like a drunk, on the late-late
So haters hate, the hell with all the hearsay
From wednesday to tuesday, T.I.P. act a fool, hey
I'm a king - bank rolls in the pockets of my jeans
I'm a king - you pussy niggaz couldn't see me in your dreams
I'm a king - top topic of all of your magazines
I'm a king - head of the body, leader of the team
I'm a king - remember I can get your block knocked off
I'm a king - a Impala with the top knocked off

The song “I’m A King” by The Game is a collaboration featuring 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and T.I. All four rappers deliver verses about their respective regions and the claim to the throne. The song opens with Lloyd Banks calling out The Game for not being a true gangster, stating “you ain’t a crip like Snoop, you ain’t a blood like Game.” However, as the song progresses, each rapper asserts their dominance and their place as a king in their respective regions.
The Game raps about being the King of the West and how he won’t give up his throne for anyone. He boasts about his past drug-dealing days and how he’s made it to the top of the rap game. He also makes it clear that anyone who disrespects him will face serious consequences.
T.I. talks about being the King of the South and how he is widely respected in his community for how he lives his life. He emphasizes that he is more than just a rapper, but a leader who is changing lives. His final warning is that if you mess with him or try to disrespect him, you will regret it.
