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 lyrics to The Game's song Play are a direct diss against his former mentor, 50 Cent, and other members of G-Unit. The chorus directly calls out those who are trying to play the game with only 50 Cent, implying that they are not strong enough without him. The Game then goes on to highlight his success as a solo artist and takes shots at his former G-Unit members, accusing them of snitching, being fake "hood" people, and hiding behind the police.
In the first verse, he specifically targets 50 Cent for stealing the name of a deceased gangster and not paying for his headstone. He also accuses 50 Cent of acting like a bitch and snitching on his own crew. In the second verse, he targets Tony Yayo and accuses him of being a snitch and a liar. He also calls out Lloyd Banks and Young Buck for only finding success after signing with 50 Cent.
Overall, the song is a scathing diss track directed towards 50 Cent and his crew, highlighting their flaws and accusing them of being frauds. The Game uses his lyrics to show that he is a true "hood" person and that he does not need 50 Cent to be successful.

Sherri P
Those of you who thinks or feels that God doesn't care. That He is indifferent and or mean etc …. Are you wondering why is the world as it is, so much evil everywhere… where is God and His faithfulness… why does so much so bad happen?.....
Well God does not miss it, none of it.... Please keep reading and understand things better and let this truth help you....
Evil things happen because there is sin and people sin and there is a way out of it all, evil, sickness, pain, heartbreak, demons, lies and so for....
Read everything here, please just read it and really listen because it is how to get out of so much hardship 💕
God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death.
God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin.
He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua, our lamb paid for our sin.
Again how loving is that! Our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly, that's righteous, before our Holy righteous God. Our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath for things we did, sin. Yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous, whole, healed, delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too.
Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Read Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that.
Read Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕
Read all scripture and read it often while listening to every word. That's needed to understand.
May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding in scripture and growing in the knowledge of God, we know Him and His ways from scripture alone. in Yeshua's name 💕
there are many misconceptions and lies in the world about God and people should spend time seeking Him and they will see that and better yet, the truth about Him for themselves 💕
Trust God and learn who He is in scripture and obey it all. Believe Him because you should and trust what He said you truly can because He never fails, every word of scripture is truth. Read scripture often and ponder each word to understand what it says, then Obey it. Praise the Lord hallelujah Yeshua
Jyoti's Movie Shelf
This is pretty cute. The message is: no matter our age, true love is about real friendship and companionship - being REAL - and not the games people play to impress or end up in bed. But, we can also understand that people play games because true love is scary.
horsluva0758
I think people play games for several reasons, and one is to test someone.
Tana
Yes. I think you're right. Being honest is the only way to go. If the one you like can't do the same, then they are not the right person to pursue. I've found out this in real life. Unfortunately, too many people play games and true love is hard to find. I'm 58 and am still single. Wish this wasn't so.
Rebecca Twiselton fallen angel
True true
Irene Marano
@horsluva0758 👍 yup because they don't trust themselves enough to be able to see 🙈 clearly. There are so many different types of people it's hard to tell what you pick up.
Hye Angels
This is so true. Both sides play the game until the Real Love knocks them back to the reality. We all need a good, like minded companion to make our life full and meaning-full.
Julia M.Mallen
True that
Cathy T
Funny dramatic/comedy great cast .you have to keep a sense of humor when watching .if youre not of a certain age of maturity you will never understand the view from the senior citizens in it. Andy Griffith was perfect for this. Ive never understood all the game playing people want to do when dating . What happened to just being open and honest from the beginning? Keeping things real is the best policy.
Tana
I agree. As a senior myself, honesty and truthfulness is preferable over playing games. If a guy likes me, say so. If we aren't into each other, then we go our separate ways. To find real people these days is hard to find. Probably why i'm single at 58. There are no down to earth guys in CA that i see.
Keh-Dalia
Damn, this is probably why I'm a beautiful woman, still single and never married in my 30's, I'm an old soul who hates players, and loves deep sincerity and straight forward honesty, who holds principals and appreciates practicality. And understand the human heart and life is fragile and should be honored. Ya'd think a man would be happy to find someone like me, but no. I guess they take my openess and kindness for being too easy or desperate, HA, but no, I just think life's too short to toy with people or be played. Players are just ego centric and insecure, 🤢 it only seems unhealthy to me, and who wants unhealthy relationships? Not me.
