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."

'Round here we get it clockin' when the things start knockin'
Low lows ain't the only thing droppin'
Bodies hit the ground, tires screeching niggas yell "Compton"
Like oh, oh
Them niggas hoppin' out of coupés, coupés
Fuck you thought nigga they tryna' overuse the shotty
Shit I'm tryna' hit the news with the shotty
I am from where the niggas say "What up cuh?"
You can get your ass wet up by "one blood"
And I bet they just saw el chapo
And you can get your noodles spilled right up in your taco
And you can get your taco turnt into some nachos
All over cheese my nigga
What's beef my nigga ridin' by slow mo
Bullet holes in caine and sharif my nigga
Fuck peace my nigga 'cause every time we try that
We get smoked by police my nigga
I am bringing sheets my nigga
Went from being skinny and gettin' jacked for my penny's to a beast my nigga
Forty ounces ain't the only thing poppin'
'Round here we get it clockin' when the things start knockin'
Low lows ain't the only thing droppin'
Bodies hit the ground, tires screeching niggas yell "Compton"
Like ooh, ooh
Them niggas hoppin' out of coupés, coupés
Fuck you thought nigga they tryna' overuse the shotty
Shit I'm tryna' hit the news with the shotty
I want the zooms zooms and wam wams, bricks in the trans am
Shooters on first, second and third, that's a grand slam
These rap niggas Fruit Loops; Toucan Sam
When I say so, bloods rush like a handstand
And ain't with that old Death Row shit
Been bangin' since nineteen-four, I ain't never did no hoe shit
Type of nigga I am, empty out the whole clip
Call my YG's and have em' run through your whole shit
Who was before Kendrick, who was before Nip?
Middle of the Slauson, did my shit fighting four crips
You win some and you lose some nigga
You break knuckles and you bruise some nigga, what?
Forty ounces ain't the only thing poppin'
'Round here we get it clockin' when the things start knockin'
Low lows ain't the only thing droppin'
Bodies hit the ground, tires screeching niggas yell "Compton"
Like oh, oh
Them niggas hoppin' out of coupés, coupés
Fuck you thought nigga they tryna' overuse the shotty
Shit I'm tryna' hit the news with the shotty
In The Game's song The Hit, the rapper describes the violent streets of Compton. The first verse talks about how gunshots are a common occurrence where he's from and how people hit the ground when bullets start flying. The chorus repeats the fact that lowrider cars and 40-ounce bottles of beer aren't the only things that are prevalent in Compton, but also the sound of gunshots and tires screeching as people yell out the city's name. In the second verse, The Game raps about the gang-related activity in the city, name-dropping El Chapo and warning about getting caught up in the middle of gang violence. He also references the Fruit Town Brims gang and shouts out to his own YG's, who he can rely on to handle business.
Overall, The Hit is a gritty depiction of life in Compton, where violence is a constant threat and gang activity is at the forefront of everyday life. The Game's raw lyrics and aggressive flow capture the intense street culture of the city, and his storytelling paints a vivid picture of the dangers that lurk around every corner.

Forty ounces ain't the only thing poppin'
There's more than just drinking going on here
'Round here we get it clockin' when the things start knockin'
We get to work when the action starts
Low lows ain't the only thing droppin'
Cars aren't the only things going down
Bodies hit the ground, tires screeching niggas yell "Compton"
It gets real and dangerous on these streets
Like oh, oh
It's intense and surreal out here
Them niggas hoppin' out of coupés, coupés
They're jumping out of cars with guns
Fuck you thought nigga they tryna' overuse the shotty
They're not playing around with these firearms
Shit I'm tryna' hit the news with the shotty
They're trying to make headlines with their actions
I am from where the niggas say "What up cuh?"
This is where I'm from, where people greet each other in a certain way
You can get your ass wet up by "one blood"
You can get hurt or killed by members of a certain gang
And I bet they just saw el chapo
They probably just saw a very dangerous and powerful drug lord
And you can get your noodles spilled right up in your taco
You can get shot and killed while eating
And you can get your taco turnt into some nachos
You can get turned into a bloody mess
All over cheese my nigga
All over money and drugs
What's beef my nigga ridin' by slow mo
What's the point of having a problem if you're not going to confront it properly?
Bullet holes in caine and sharif my nigga
People have been shot and hurt in my neighborhood
Fuck peace my nigga 'cause every time we try that
We can't have peace because it never works out
We get smoked by police my nigga
Police brutality and violence is a major issue here
I am bringing sheets my nigga
I'm prepared for violence and death
Went from being skinny and gettin' jacked for my penny's to a beast my nigga
I used to be poor and picked on, now I'm tough and respected
I want the zooms zooms and wam wams, bricks in the trans am
I want fast cars and lots of drugs and money
Shooters on first, second and third, that's a grand slam
My team is full of shooters, we're all ready to take action
These rap niggas Fruit Loops; Toucan Sam
These other rappers are fake and weak
When I say so, bloods rush like a handstand
When I give the signal, my crew springs into action
And ain't with that old Death Row shit
We're not interested in the old ways of doing things
Been bangin' since nineteen-four, I ain't never did no hoe shit
I've been involved in gang activity for a long time, and I've never been a coward
Type of nigga I am, empty out the whole clip
I'm the type of person who doesn't hold back
Call my YG's and have em' run through your whole shit
I'll call my friends and we'll completely take over your territory
Who was before Kendrick, who was before Nip?
I'm here to remind people that I've been doing this for a long time
Middle of the Slauson, did my shit fighting four crips
I've been in a lot of fights, and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty
You win some and you lose some nigga
Sometimes you succeed and sometimes you fail
You break knuckles and you bruise some nigga, what?
You're going to get hurt if you mess with me, understand?
