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."

When The Chips Are Down
The Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Chorus]
These niggas wanna see me
'cause of the way I shine
But it ain't that easy
To get mine
You get ya ass laid down
Down,
The paint is peelin'
Now,
When the chips are down
Down,
You gotta lose all feelin
Now,
Your head goes round n' round
Funny how the world revolves around my click
'cause just a year ago a nigga ain't have shit (damn)
Me and my right hand share the same outfit
Which fueled the fire that I air the game out with (whoo)
It's amazing the way that boy came out quick
For that platinum niggas'll blows ya brains out, shit (bap)
I'm the new nigga the others can't stand
The rubber band man be god damned if I can (oh)
Let another nigga fill my spot
If a niggas steal from me it's the steel I pop
I'm on my grind so if you thought I chill, I'm not
Gon' stop lettin' that steering peel on the block, why not?
[Chorus: x2]
Banks they think I'm yayos replacement, nah
I borrowed his gunits to walk through the matrix
I'm signed to the Doctor I ain't got no patience
So he put me with 50 Cent now I got a face lift
Magazines wanna know where they fuck L.A. been
It almost died in the same car Suge got grazed in
2001 I was playin' my PlayStation
I heard 9 shots , I'm face down with my heart pacing
All I could think about as hidin' my gun and my drugs in the basement
It was either that or the state pen
I woke up out of that coma
Police waitin' for a statement, (heart monitor beeps to flat line)
[Chorus]
Pass the weed and let a nigga get into a zone
Papa left me all alone in the world to roam
But now I'm grown, millionaires on my cell phone
A year past now, caw dead and L gone
And I'm sick, bought chopper with a long click
So think about that before you make your songs dick (dick)
Or lose a limb, please don't get me confused with him (uh uh)
Cause I'm down to go a whole round, lose or win
If I should die, ride a G through the hood with pride (ride)
Every strip, block, and projects is on my side
I'm ghetto calm by the 100 grand on my arms (arms)
Sick watching of a 100 grand on my charm (whoo), broke nigga
[Chorus: x2]

People envy me for my success and try to take what's mine, but they pay a heavy price when they mess with me.

When faced with tough times, it's easy to lose your mind and focus. You have to stay strong and persevere no matter what.

I'm successful now and everyone wants to be part of my crew, but I remember a time when I was nothing. My closest friend and I are so in sync we dress alike, and that gives me the confidence to keep pushing forward. People will do anything for fame and money, even kill. I'm the newest star on the scene, and other rappers are envious of me, but I'm not going to let anyone take my place. I'm always working hard and ready to defend myself.

People used to think I was going to replace another rapper in my crew, but that's not true. I borrowed clothes from him to fit into the industry better. I signed with a big name in the music industry but not having patience, I quickly moved to 50 Cent's label, which resulted in a change in my image. I almost died in a shooting that was similar to what happened to Suge Knight. I was playing a video game when I heard gunshots and ended up getting shot. I had to hide my illegal items to avoid getting arrested. Eventually, I woke up from a coma to face the police and talk to them about what happened.

I like to smoke weed and relax, as my father wasn't around to guide me in the world. But I've made it on my own and now I have rich friends calling me on my phone. I've faced a lot of losses, including the deaths of my friends. I've become so sick of it all that I've purchased a gun with a long clip. Before you make disrespectful music, think about the consequences. I'm not to be mistaken for anyone else, as I'll fight to the finish. If I die, I want to be remembered as a proud gangster who had support from the whole neighborhood, as evidenced by my expensive jewelry.

Greatest Lloyd Banks track ever, I've been looking for this song for a while forgot the name. From the softest of the soft to the hardest of the hard only people that lived through the G-Unit era know what it was like. You couldnt show fear, weakness, or softness during that epoch, it's amazing how they changed the culture for those 5-8 years everyone was 50 back then lol. Amazing musical era, I recall being an 18-20 year old with my boys listening to these guys and their incredible lyrics, it was so effortless for them which made it even more DOPE. (shout out to eminem those Green Lantern Tracks were FIRE)
@rontaemurray1628
these beats and bars on this album a straight up masterpiece
@ryandixon7604
Beats were weak for the most part.
@j04370859
@Ryan Dixon No lol
@ryandixon7604

@TheMADD2013

@vernonwellingtonjr3819
The best beat!!!
@originalJoeKing
Agreed. And this isn't the only song from that album that is deserving of that title. 'Till the end featuring Nate Dogg also can be called that.
@trentyates418
This beat is sensational
