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.

You can catch five, or catch me in the CL-5
Whatever way dog, the Game get live
Keepin' it gangsta in a P.D. city velour
Late night I'm in Dublin's and I got myself a four
The hood love me, hoodrats gotta hug me
Pop ex, spark the buba, the shit get ugly
Rock the mic anywhere, and I ain't talkin' 'bout a concert dog
Get it crackin' like we out in the yard, and the warden's watchin'
Only difference is the whores is watchin'
Still love to see a nigga, roll up on 20's
Hop in that six-four, roll up on Bentley's like
I'm a gangsta baby, from the C.P.T.
Run with the (Pound) like I'm from D.P.G.
If it's beef, you C-Murder like it ain't No Limit
And I represent the P like Russell Simmons
I'm a neighborhood superstar, get it, right
Got it? Good, okay
It's the Black Sox and Get Low we get dough
In the Yay they pimp hoes, in Compton we six-fo'
I'm a neighborhood superstar, get it, right

The tray with the broccoli with my handles on the Kawasaki
Handle my jewels with the cuff in my shoes
AD jacket on my elbow, 50 coast the jewels
In my neighborhood I'm Young Bill Gates, never shuffle the cake
So cover my face, and run up in the place
I'm a superstar, dick and my chain, glass bezel and bang
80 carats on my pinky and rang
Crews buzz when you speakin' my name, cause I'm deep in the game
With top cool thangs and million dollar planes
I'm a maniac, young boy gone, like a young Roy Jones
You ought of my zone and ain't nobody home
In my neighborhood, produce stars, stakes is high
Now we soarin' through the spacious skies
Drop yo' body with them cakes and ride, the handle is up
Switchin' gears with the pedal and ride

The Game's "Neighborhood Supa Starz" presents a lyrical perspective of the Compton neighborhood lifestyle. Through the lyrics, the rapper affirms his allegiance to the hood and how he enjoys living through it- from the gangsta lifestyle with PD city velour to keepin' it real through unannounced concerts and hanging out in the hood. The lyrics also reflect on the general environment, which is full of wins and losses. This is evident in the lyrics "It's the Black Sox and Get Low we get dough. In the Yay they pimp hoes, in Compton we six-fo'," which suggests that while some people make money through pimping, Compton is all about cruising in the six-four.
The song also features rapper JT the Bigga Figga, who contributes to the themes of the song. He brags about his wealth and prowess in the neighborhood, affirming his position as a young superstar. The song's chorus, "I'm a neighborhood superstar, get it right. Got it? Good, okay," expresses the rappers' determination to be successful and accomplish their dreams. The overall message of the song is the celebration of the Compton neighborhood, as seen through the eyes of its residents.

I remember my homie in high school sold me this album for 2$ freshman year in December 2004. He used to tell cds and said “I got the documentary album already bro”. I wanted the album so bad because “Higher” was a banger in Chicago, it played non stop on the radio. When I bought the album from my homie at school, it was this one instead of the The Documentary. I can’t lie I was mad as hell at 1st lol 😂, but my parents bought me gta San Andreas that’s same year for Christmas. I had this album for two weeks, never listened to it. When I popped on San Andreas for the 1st time, I decided to give this album a try.
I said all that to say this, I’m glad I got sold the wrong album🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. the album was STRAIGHT CLASSIC!! Don’t gotta skip any songs. Playing this album while doing the San Andreas missions had me feeling like I was really in Cali as a shorty 🤣🤣🤣. Great times
