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 be lowkey I be hoping they won't notice when I come outside
And if you looking for the hoes fuck with me I'ma tell you when they come outside
And all the homies on the block all day so yeah a nigga gotta come outside
Heard a gunshot, walked up out
My motherfucking door, what's happening with all this madness?
What niggas got going on to make me jump up off this Madden
Niggas pulled up on me, matte black G wagon
I'm like shit, the fo' fif's still in the house
And usually niggas shoot from from where you from, come out they mouth
Got a nigga heart beating like a cutlass truck
But my mama raised a G and she don't fuck with punks
Niggas rolled down the window, couldn't tell who it was
Waving off the chronic smoke, is they Blood or Cuz?
Haha, it's my little cousin Jordan and he's solid
We went up last night, nigga said he forgot his wallet
We was bumping E-40 (yeah that Hurricane)
(Went through ten or twelve bottles of that Sluricane)
We had six white bitches and a gang of weed
You know them blonde hair, blue eyes, they aim to please
Okay now why I'm always running from the police when I come outside
I be lowkey I be hoping they won't notice when I come outside
And if you looking for the hoes fuck with me I'ma tell you when they come outside
And all the homies on the block all day so yeah a nigga gotta come outside
I was dipping down Greenleaf, swerving and I seen my nigga E
(What's cracking cuz? I ain't seen you in a week
Where you going fool?) Compton college to pick this bitch up
We both in Impalas (Make the motherfucker hiccup)
(Now bounce, rock, roller skate)
'Cause we done fucked every bitch in the Golden State
Now tell me, how many bitches wanna fuck this nigga?
Stuff dick in her stomach until that butt get bigger
And we both fuck Kianna, you ain't know that though
(She put a hole in the condom, I don't know that hoe)
Conversating with my nigga at this long ass light
Made a left at Alameda, Eazy bust that right
(I'm gone cuz!) Aight, hit a switch and I'm outie
Back to the westside, that's what Dr. Dre found me
Pull up on Cedar, then I put it in park
Now take yo ass in the house before it get too dark
Okay now why I'm always running from the police when I come outside
I be lowkey I be hoping they won't notice when I come outside
And if you looking for the hoes fuck with me I'ma tell you when they come outside
And all the homies on the block all day so yeah a nigga gotta come outside
Ooh ooh ooh, nigga hop out that rag and smell the oohwee

'Cause you fuckin' my cousin, she don't like it, I don't either)
Take all that bass out your voice, homeboy this is Cedar
(My bad Chuck, let a nigga hit the weed)
Nah, take this quarter piece and drop it off at the trees

You can take the rag, don't get a scratch on my coupe though
And watch the Palmers they ain't tryin' to hear no truce though

The Game's song "Outside" is about the everyday struggles of living in Compton amidst gang violence and police brutality. The lyrics represent the constant fear and anxiety of living in a rough neighborhood, with the singer constantly running from the police and paranoia about being caught up in a violent situation. The singer also boasts about his sexual conquests and love for California living, but still acknowledges the dangers of living in Compton.
The repeated chorus, "Okay now why I'm always running from the police when I come outside, I be lowkey I be hoping they won't notice when I come outside" reflects the fear that exists within the community towards law enforcement. The song also touches on the theme of loyalty to one's neighborhood and friends, despite the surrounding danger.
The song was praised for its vivid storytelling and its honesty in representing the experiences of those living in Compton. It serves not only as a reflection of The Game's experiences and the experiences of the residents of Compton, but also a critique of the systemic issues that create these challenging situations in the first place.
