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 Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Niggas don't really want it, just talkin' out the side of they neck
How many gangsters you know, ain't scared of death
That's why I, ride with techs, soon as I pull 'em out
Breathe easy nigga they tryin' to get them bullets out
It was all good a week ago, you was callin' shots in the hood
Bitch now you so {?} the hood
But no more rocks or dope spots in the hood
Ghost town, niggas won't even walk in your hood
I want respect like when niggas is talkin' to Suge
You cats goin' get with that, or get with the +Mac+
And I ain't talkin' 'bout Beans, talkin' 'bout this gat
The kid still a hundred miles and runnin'
Niggas smoke 10 boxes of Newport's, when they know I'm comin'
And fuck MTV, I live in The Real World
Call my guns R. Kelly, they'll touch your lil' girl, cause
[Chorus: x 2]
Layin' with dogs, you goin' wake up with fleas
Fuckin' with rats, you'll never get yo' cheese
You know J cats, like to sell you dreams
And a snake goin' scheme (and a killa will do anything)
It's a done deal, Seth's back, makin' it hot
No questions, I'm takin' my spot
Project walls, hoods and blocks, Get Low, we hard to stop
JT, and the Game is hot
It's so necessary, these dudes are so scary
When I cruise through Bentley Coupe that's cherry
Tailored suits and gators, man, laughin' at these haters
Man, show me the money then, pay me man
It's a new day, same team, I'm still the ghost
Big crib, jet skis and boats, listen close take notes
Mink coats and diamond clusters
West coast we nothin' but hustlers
We grimy and gritty, cool like that, old school fools
Willy Ness throwbacks, we send tricks to the nearest track
Who you know that's as real as that?
I pimp this game like Goldie the Mac, holla back
[Chorus: x 2]
In The Game’s song Untold Story, the artist talks about the realities of being a gangster and what it means to live that life. He starts by saying that many people talk a big game but aren’t actually willing to face death head-on. The artist then talks about the changes that occur when someone who used to be a big shot in their hood falls from grace. Once a gang leader who controlled drug deals and other unsavory activities, this person is now a joke to the others in the community. In this section of the song, he references the term “ghost town” to describe a sense of abandonment and isolation experienced by someone who no longer holds power in the hood.
The artist then talks about his status as a true gangster, someone who commands respect and fear from those around him. He references Suge Knight, a well-known music executive who was rumored to have connections to the Compton, California gang, The Bloods. Those who don’t respect him will face his gun or “gat.” Finally, the artist refers to the dangers of betraying others in one’s community, warning that messing with the wrong people will lead to suffering.
Despite being a song about gang life, Untold Story is an introspective piece that analyzes what it means to be a gangster and how those who live that life can fall from grace just as easily as they can rise to power.
