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 Kill
The Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Among their shadows in the breeze
I know the way you've been
Among the adulating masses
Among the disregarded absence
I know they haven't seen
Terror in the revelation
Of all the unconscious fixations
Careful who you worship, now
The lost will tell you when you're found
This slate is never clean
All is changed in war
All betrays the core
The core that never was
The vigil candlelit demands
The scrying of the idol's the past
Hallucinations that portray the murderer's hands
(I know the way you've been)
In court of ailing kings
The jesters speak of secret things
The swordplay silhouetted for a blind audience
(I know they haven't seen)
All compelled to the open
All exposed in the omens
All denied in devotion
All simple truths unknowing
Unknowing sacrifice
In "The Kill" by The Game, the lyrics describe a dark and deceptive world filled with hidden truths and false idols. In the first verse, the mention of "hollow rotted trees" and "shadows in the breeze" creates a somber and mysterious atmosphere. The lyrics suggest that the singer understands the true nature of those around him, recognizing their deceit and the way they manipulate others. The "adulating masses" refers to people who blindly admire and follow others without questioning their intentions. The singer acknowledges that these people are unaware of the truth behind the facades presented to them.
The chorus emphasizes the destructive power of war and how it reveals the true nature of individuals. The line "all betrays the core" implies that when faced with conflict, people's true selves are exposed and their hidden motives are revealed. The "core that never was" refers to the fact that what appeared genuine and solid was merely an illusion.
The second verse introduces the idea of false idols and the consequences of blindly following them. The "vigil candlelit demands" represent the desperate desires and expectations placed upon idols, while "scrying" refers to attempts to gain knowledge or insight into the future. The lyrics suggest that these idols are not what they seem, and their hands are stained with the actions of a murderer. The use of "court of ailing kings" and "jesters" portrays a corrupted society where secrets are shared, but only by those in power. The swordplay, mentioned metaphorically, represents the deceitful acts and manipulations that occur behind the scenes, unbeknownst to the general public.
The final lines convey a sense of inevitability and ignorance. The truth becomes evident to those who dare to see it, but it goes unnoticed and unrevealed to the masses who blindly follow. The lyrics suggest that these simple truths remain hidden and unrecognized due to devotion and loyalty to false beliefs. The concept of sacrifice emphasizes that some individuals may unknowingly give up their own well-being or understanding in pursuit of these false idols or ideals. Overall, "The Kill" explores themes of deception, false idols, and the consequences of blind devotion.

Among the hollow rotted trees
In the midst of decay and emptiness
Among their shadows in the breeze
Amid the influence and subtlety of their presence
I know the way you've been
I understand your actions and intentions
Among the adulating masses
Surrounded by those who worship and praise
Among the disregarded absence
In the midst of being ignored and overlooked
I know they haven't seen
They don't truly comprehend or perceive
Terror in the revelation
Fear arises from the unveiling of truth
Of all the unconscious fixations
Related to the hidden obsessions within the mind
All held in such esteem
All regarded with great regard and admiration
Careful who you worship, now
Be cautious in choosing who to idolize
The lost will tell you when you're found
Those who are lost can recognize when one is found
This slate is never clean
Past mistakes and sins can never be fully erased
All is changed in war
Everything undergoes transformation in times of conflict
All betrays the core
Everything reveals the true essence
The core that never was
The supposed foundation that was never real
The vigil candlelit demands
The fervent requests made during a solemn watch
The scrying of the idol's the past
Examining the history and significance of the idol
Hallucinations that portray the murderer's hands
Illusions showing the actions of a killer
(I know the way you've been)
(I am aware of your actions and deeds)
In court of ailing kings
Within the presence of sickly rulers
The jesters speak of secret things
The fools share hidden knowledge
The swordplay silhouetted for a blind audience
The staged combat performed for an unaware crowd
(I know they haven't seen)
(I know they have not truly witnessed)
All compelled to the open
Everyone forced to face the truth
All exposed in the omens
All revealed through signs and prophecies
All denied in devotion
All rejected despite strong dedication
All simple truths unknowing
All basic realities remaining unrecognized
Unknowing sacrifice
Sacrificing without being aware of the consequences
