The Game (Jayceon Taylor aka Chuck Taylor) was born and raised in the "birthplace of gangsta rap," Compton, California. He received his nickname from his grandmother who claimed he was always game for anything. Growing up in Compton, The Game grew up in the Santana Blocc Crips neighborhood. He was placed in a foster home from the 3rd grade until the 9th grade due to family problems with his father. Soon after he was reunited with his mother, one of his older brothers, Jevon, was shot and killed. Just after his high school graduation in 1999, another older adopted brother, Charles, was shot and killed. His half brother, nicknamed "Big Fase Hunned", grew up in a different neighborhood and was an active member of the Cedar Block Piru Bloods. As their relationship grew, The Game became a member of the Cedar Block Pirus as well, all while living in a Crip neighborhood. Prior to rapping, at 6'4" The Game was a star basketball player at Compton High School. He received a basketball scholarship to Washington State University but was dismissed from the school during his freshman year over drug allegations. He grew up with NBA star Baron Davis, who is now the godfather to The Game's son, Harlem Caron Taylor. The Game eventually got into the lifestyle of hustling with his brother, Big Fase Hunned. Car thefts, drug dealing, and shootings forced his mother to kick him out of the house. He moved into the projects in a nearby city with Big Fase 100 in 2000 and took over the local drug trade. Late on the night of October 1st 2001, he was shot five times during a home invasion. While in the hospital The Game decided to change his life and put the past behind him, to pursue his interest in hip hop music and dream of becoming a rapper. Soon after, The Game was discovered by rap pioneer, and former N.W.A member, Dr. Dre, who signed The Game to his Aftermath Entertainment label.
Since then The Game has had accumulated numerous hip-hop rivals, among them Suge Knight and Death Row Records, Murder Inc. Records, Memphis Bleek and Jay-Z of Roc-A-Fella Records, Yukmouth, Joe Budden, and even mentor 50 Cent.
Most notably is Game's on-again off-again feud with 50 Cent and G-Unit. On the track "300 Bar And Runnin" Game takes consecutive shots and his former friends in what has become one of the longest freestyles recorded by a major artist. On the same record The Game squashes rumors over a diss he allegedly directed at Jay-Z with the lyrics:
"...Oh, that boy colder than Hova unless he sober
Like I'm the President, but this ain't the takeover
Now, there's the speaker, bring your ears a little closer
Before you call this a diss, and you make Hova pissed
Why would I wanna do that? When I'm just a new cat
That was taught if a nigga take shots to shoot back
Defending his yard, yeah standing his ground
I'm saying if you gonna retire, then hand me the crown..."
Hate him or love him, The Game is one of the most talked about rappers in the game right now...and there is already a lot of buzz over this rapper's intentions of bringing the West back. We'll just have to wait...
