The Game
Biography
Jayceon Terrell Taylor, performing under the pseudonym The Game was born in 1979 in Los Angeles. The family of the future performer proved to be not of the close-knit kind, and parents of The Game divided. For a while Jayceon lived at foster-parents’ place in the suburbs of Los Angeles, but when he was thirteen years old, his mother got the guardianship, so The Game moved with her to Compton. There the very environment predetermined the young man’s destiny. The neighborhood was controlled by the gang Crips, and his parents were members of it, as the musician once stated. However the future rapper became one of the Bloods, another gang. Pretty soon he was involved into the drug traffic, and because of one bad deal he was taken to the hospital – he got five gunshot wounds. The Game had been in coma for three days and after that he started to think of his lifestyle in general. After all he decided to try his strength and luck in the hip-hop industry.
