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."

She tryin' to feed me with it, you know how that go
She said go easy with it, stay out the back door
I nigga went Yeezy in, North West tho
Nigga wanna talk about money let's talk
Nigga wanna talk about guns, where the chalk
Nigga wanna run around like he's sellin' records ?, 5 million, ?
Nigga nigga ain't know, nigga nigga ain't know
Nigga nigga ain't know, nigga nigga ain't know

You don't know me nigga, you don't know me nigga
You don't know, you don't know me nigga
You don't know me nigga
Wanna talk about cars, then I pull out the Aston
Run to Tom Ford, then I pull out the plastic
Ridin' with a ratchet, totin' that rachet
Murder that pussy nigga, pull out the casket
Million dollar check, nigga I ain't gotta cash it
Million round' my neck, nigga I ain't gotta flash it
Smokin' in the white house, I ain't gotta ash it
Never rolled a blunt, that's my white boy hash it
You ain't know
You ain't know, I fucked your bitch before you got your deal
You ain't know, you ain't know (Ratchets, is still eatin' happy meals)

The Game’s “You Don’t Know” features the rapper boasting about his accomplishments and dismissing those who claim to know him. He begins the first verse by talking about his prowess in the bedroom, and how his partner is trying to feed into his desires. He then shifts to discussing his wealth and success, challenging anyone who wants to talk about money or guns with him. He claims that he has already made millions and uses expensive items like the Aston Martin and Tom Ford clothing to flex his wealth further. The rapper also implies that he has connections to drug kingpin Pablo Escobar and wears chains like someone from Chicago. The chorus repeats his message that no one truly knows him.
The lyrics highlight The Game’s confidence and cockiness, as he raps about his skills and success. He uses his fame and material possessions to assert his dominance and create distance between himself and others. The repetition of “You don’t know me nigga” emphasizes his belief that no one truly understands who he is and his experiences.
