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."

Turn The Lights Off
The Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Full of dark
What's the weight
Of your heart
Honestly
Out of mind
Say hello
Say goodbye
Every love is like a fire
I do this for you
Turn off the lights
You're pretty enough for my pity
The song "Turn the Lights Off" by The Game denotes an intense and confusing emotion that comes when one is in a place full of darkness. The opening stanza tries to feel how heavy the weight of the heart can be in such circumstances. The singer portrays that his mind is out of control and suggests a way out by saying hello and goodbye to the darkness. The actual reason for such deep introspection cannot be understood. Still, the singer tries to provide a sense of insight into such a mental state through his lyrics.
The song suggests that love can be as intense and powerful as a fire. In the midst of the darkness that the singer portrays, he still does things to make her happy. He asserts that turning off the lights will have a certain appeal to her, and he does this for her. But at the same time, he intimates that the girl's feelings towards him may only be as strong as pity. The overall meaning of the song is left to the interpretation of the listener, but it seems like the singer is in an emotionally dark place and is looking for a way out, which he thinks the girl he is singing about may provide.
