The Game原名Jayceon Taylor,出生于美国加利福尼亚州的Compton,他的个人生涯一样是从街头小混混的肮脏生活开始的,但是依The Game自己所说,他本人根本不愿意从事这些肮脏的活动,在小的时候,The Game只是喜欢打篮球,踢足球,和狗玩,听音乐等等一切好玩的东西,这也是他的奶奶给他起绰号“The Game”的原因。尽管The Game如此为自己申辩,但是事实是他和他的同伙们已经成为了正宗的街痞,而改变是从他上高中之后开始的。跟着他那帮兄弟,The Game也开始了一个小流氓的街头成长史。跟着这帮兄弟们的生活并不好过,The Game只能在麦当劳这类地方打工糊口,平时结帮的搞些打家劫舍收保护费的一锤子买卖。但是街头生活危机四伏,The Game受到了街头黑帮的牵连,就在The Game住的房子里发生了一起枪击事件,他身边的一个家伙被爆头,The Game本人也中弹险些挂掉,好在经历一段时间昏迷之后还是在医院中苏醒,几个兄弟又把受伤的他从医院拖回了住的那所房子。这件险些令他致命的事情改变了The Game的生活,自认“我本善良”的The Game决定从良,远离违法犯罪,如The Game所说,以免哪天莫名其妙的就小命玩完。The Game给自己指了三条路选择,一是说唱,二是房地产,三是回学校里继续篮球梦,选择结果是说唱。最初能够影响The Game的说唱音乐还是2Pac,Notorious B.I.G.这类的帮匪说唱大汉,2001年,The Game决定和过去告别,全力发展说唱事业,几个兄弟也帮他负责叫卖他的唱片小样。受到了Ice Cube,Jay-Z,Snoop Dogg等人作品影响之后,日渐成熟的西海岸帮匪说唱者The Game决定到东海岸去寻找机会,最终被Dr. Dre发觉其才,2003年正式签到了Aftermath唱片公司旗下。
