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 lyrics to The Game ft. Lil Scrappy's song "Southside" are a proclamation and warning to anyone who dares to challenge the Southside. Both rappers boast their street credibility and their willingness to use violence to defend their territory. The lyrics use metaphors and allusions to convey their message. Lil Scrappy talks about leaving his enemies crippled like Frosted Flakes, a reference to the cereal's mascot. He also mentions being lifted by a preacher and his mom pushing weight, implying that he grew up in poverty but was raised with strong values. Meanwhile, The Game talks about riding through his enemies' hoods in a blue Impala, a reference to the classic gangster movie "Scarface," and using hollow-tipped bullets to kill them.
The chorus repeats the line "Why'all don't want it with the Southside," as a taunt to those who would challenge the rappers. The song uses the Southside as a symbol of strength and power, and the rappers use it to assert their dominance. The lyrics are a reflection of the gang culture prevalent in the neighborhoods they grew up in and illustrate the sense of pride and loyalty that individuals have to their communities.
