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."
2. A British 60s Band formed by Terry Spencer in 1965. Head guitar: Terry Spencer Bass guitar: Allan Janaway Drums: Terry Goodsell Vocals: Tony Bird Their biggest success was their first single PlayGonna Get Me Someone from 1966. They attracted attention in 1967 with their recording of The Addicted Man which was concerned with drug-taking. The single should not be released.
3. A French new wave band from the 80’s coming from the suburbs of Paris. It’s line up was : Marc Dimitri (Vocals), Hervé Lorthioir (guitar), Patrick Larrieu (guitar), Jacques-Laurent Lardaud (bass), Fredéric Rottier (Drums), Dominique Cointre (keyboards), Claire (ch).

You see that cherry red phantom on them big ass wheels
See I be playin' with them cars I'm like a big ass kid
Crazy with that cap gun
So if we play cops and robbers
I'll show you how to pop revolvers
Fitted cap too big so it covers my eyes
That Lambo that ain't shit just a public disguise
And I be driving all crazy cause my diamond chain is bright (bright bright)
As them Las Vegas lights
It'd be the same in California when I'm ridin' at night
And new york I be in mid-town
Up and down broadway havin' meetings all day
Baby my future is bright (bright bright)
As the bronze take off from anybody
Tyra Banks on my arm and we crash any party
Makin' it rain ain't got shit on me
The way I ball the fuckin' owner should come sit on me
Yeah I'm fresh outta jail you should of knew I was back
Turn up the radio its a wrap.
[Ludacris]
Don't you hear it that nigga named luda
Slicker than rick the ruler whoop ass like Lex Luger
My money long your shit is shorter than oopaloompas
And I'm super man you'll that ass like Lex Luther
Shoot ya to say me gusta

So many red flags I could of swore I was in Russia

[The Game]
See I come from the bottom and they call me the game
But I'm just happy that Beyonce know my name
I took that Dr. Dre money
And I bought me a chain
Then I bought me a house
Then I bought me a range
Then I bought me some pussy
Then I bought me some brains.
But I ain't buyin' that the best rappers is Kanye and Wayne.
See both of them niggas spit but yall act like yall ain't hear me spit
Like sellin' 7 million records ain't the shit
I don't win no grammy's nigga I'm too gangsta
And poppin' crystal with erv don't make me a wangsta
See I'm California certified
My niggas make the murder rise
Read my fan mail in jail
Buck told Curtis bye

Slow it down put this rose phantom cream in my mouth
Throwin' prada slippers on when I walk in my house
P. Diddy and Tommy Lee know what I'm talkin' about
See I'm fresh outta jail I know you heard I was back
So turn up the radio it's a wrap
In the song “Ya Heard” featuring Ice Cube, rapper The Game begins with his love for cars, describing his cherry red phantom on big wheels and his love for playing cops and robbers with cap guns. His fitted cap is too big, and it covers his eyes. He also talks about his diamond chain being bright as the Las Vegas lights, driving crazily, and having a top model chick who is for the diamond lane. He describes how his future is bright and how he crash parties with Tyra Banks and make it rain. In contrast, Ludacris talks more about his prowess with women rather than his love for cars, describing his sexual conquests with metaphors, and mentioning the sacrifices he made to get where he is.
Both The Game and Ludacris make bold statements about their music careers, emphasizing their achievements in the rap game. The Game talks about taking Dr. Dre's money and buying himself a chain, a house, a range, and even paying for some sex and brains. He declares himself to be a gangster who doesn't win Grammy's and pops only crystal with Erv. He also downplays Kanye and Wayne's skills but emphasizes his own, saying that even though he sold 7 million records, he feels underrated. Ludacris calls himself "sicker than Rick the Ruler" and "Superman" who can "whoop ass like Lex Luger." He boasts about his fame and fortune, mentioning how Compton is scorchin' and his gun is having abortions.
Overall, the song is about the rappers' accomplishments and how they've overcome various obstacles, including jail time, to get where they are now. They are basking in their successes and letting anyone who will listen know just how great they are.

Damn I can't get over how much Game improved on this album. This shit is raw and Luda just fucking murdered the track. Game also shined on the last verse though
@philthelilninja
Luda killed this. "My verses are hot as SHIT like I recorded with the devil" What a champ
@normantaffefiny8227
#firee
@johnmango6056
Absolutely one of my favorite Ludacris verse of all time
@ApexSpectator36
2021 and still bumpin this. Remember when this album came out memories!
@normantaffefiny8227
2022!
@themoneymakerchris980
Luda never disappoints
@badrulbdalam
Underrated album!
@MichaelCobbs
Luda went in on his verse but overall it's a great track. I respect both artists.
I think what was disappointing on this album was how he changed his flow.
Hip-Hop was shifting around 2008 and I guess majority of the people in the world couldn't get used to what Game presented to them.
This album is a classic in my books.
The beats were great.
@davidyork6643
both those dudes were on something, they killed that track, especially Luda.
