Jayceon Terrell Taylor (born November 29, 1979), known by his gang name The Game (increasingly just Game) is a rapper from Compton, California. He was discovered by Dr. Dre, who decided he should be taken under the wing of 50 Cent. This wasn't a particularly good idea, since the two had a big argument and became Evil Former Friends for the better part of 12 years. He has released 7 albums, and for the 5th - Jesus Piece, he reconciled with Dr. Dre (but not 50; that came four years later). He is a member of the Blood Gang.Has nothing to do with Queen's album of the same name, or the the meme, which you just lost.Discography: The Documentary (2005) Doctor's Advocate (2006) L.A.X. (2008) The R.E.D. Album (2011) Jesus Piece (2012) The Documentary 2 (2015) The Documentary 2.5 (2015) 1992 (2016) Born To Rap (2019) DRILLMATIC: Heart vs. Mind (2022)

Misogyny Song: Deconstructed in "Good Girls Gone Bad," a scathing indictment of misogyny in the hip-hop world. Played straight with "Bitch You Aint Shit"

New Media Are Evil: He pinned the blame for what he saw as rap's decline in quality on the Internet and claimed that it was "brainwashing" people into believing that "wack-ass music" is any good.

In the Blood
 The Game (Rapper) (Music) / int_97aaa7f3
comment
In the Blood: Pardon the pun. Gang membership appears to be a family thing with him, as his parents and three of his older half-brothers were gang members. Ironically, the parents and two of those half-brothers are with various sets of the Crips (he grew up in a Crip-controlled neighborhood, after all).

Gangsta Rap: A solid type 1; when talking about his history with The Bloods, he'll depict himself as a Justified Criminal with a Dark and Troubled Past — though even he won't say no to the occasional Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster! aesthetic, though.

Spell My Name with a "The"
 The Game (Rapper) (Music) / int_aa8d0ef0
comment
Spell My Name with a "The": He was known as "The Game" for much of his career, but dropped the "The" sometime in the early 2010s; presumably, he was tired of fans addressing him as "Mr. The Game." This was extremely short lived however, as the "The" was added back soon after the change.

Take That!: Much like his former associate 50 Cent, he's well known for delivering these. Their feud had plenty of this content. Same for his beef with Meek Mill.

Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!
 The Game (Rapper) (Music) / int_ecc8b108
comment
Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!: In particular, a Blood. One egregious example being The R.E.D. Album and specifically its first single "Red Nation". Despite his claims that the "R.E.D." in the title stands for "RE-Dedication" and not a reference to his Blood Gang affiliation, the album cover is black and red and "Red Nation", featuring fellow Blood-affiliated rapper Lil Wayne on the chorus, is a love letter to the Bloods' red color motif with a few open shout outs to the gang itself. There's also "Gang Related".
