Games Crib Shot up ...
While playing Madden on the Ps2 a group of four people burst into Games house, asking for drugs which Game had yet to give. Game turned his back, as he did one of the gang ran over to a table where Games gun lay. Game rushed over to get there first, ending up wrestling with the rest of the groups guns pulled. While fighting over the gun, Game was shot in the shoulder, and needing to retreat quick. As he got up and ran to his room where his other gun was placed, he was shot on the back of the leg. Falling to the floor, he saw his 'life flash before' his eyes and 'honestly though I was going to die, execution style to the back of the head. Minutes past until game thought 'fuck it, if I'm gonna die I'ma go out fighting', to which he then turned around, only to see his house empty. Staggering to the bathroom, he was covered in blood before calling an ambulance, staying the night and checking himself out the next day, from this point on, he knew his current living conditions needed to change ......
Growing up ....
"Man I grew up in a neighborhood compton called Cedar Block. It's a neighborhood where bloods hang out, you know we got crips and bloods in los angeles, so the whole gang bang thang, you know I got caught up in that man and grew up it was me ,my mom, and my brothers. We grew up in compton and shit was crazy growin up there cause in the 80's and early 90's thats when the gang bangin was really at it's peak man. So I lost a lot of my friends. So man I just soaked in all that shit and then when I got a lil older all that was all that fuckin glitter and glamour you know what I'm sayin,just drivin around, fancy cars, and the dope game. All that shit was attractin to me you know what I'm sayin. So I got into that and it was a rap after that and 2001... ah make a long story short, 2001 I was in a lil dope spot and I got shot 5 times man, after that i got out of a coma, not a big coma just 2 and a half days. I got outta that and after that at that point it was the point of no return really. So I really started grindin out and i took rap serious. I didn't even rap prior to being gettin shot I just started listenin to Jay-z, N.W.A., Pac and Big and EO, I kinda was like damn I could probably do this shit so I started fuckin with this shit and I got good really fast man and at the sametime I was recouperatin from my bullet wounds know what I'm sayin, got my life back together and I'm also like stayin away from the streets cause at that point I was like man fuck this shit, this shit aint never did nothin for me really but brought me heart ache,pain, and all my friends dyin, know what I'm say my cousins, my brothers so I lost too much and then at the end of the day I thought about like you know what man this shit made me a bigger person you know what I'm sayin cause if I didn't go throught that I wouldn't of known how real life is. So now I appreciate life so i went to the bay and did this demo listen man and did like 30 songs in like 2 weeks time, some crazy shit and that was my first time ever being in a studio know what I'm sayin. "
What's in the name ....
"I got the name game when I was a young kid, my grandmother rest in peace. She gave me the name game cause when I was young I was one of them bad ass kids that did anythin. Like if i saw a fuckin roach or mouse I'd pick it up off the ground bugs I wasn't scared of bugs I used to play basketball, football, ran track, I played baseball. She used to say I was game for everythin so thats where the name game from. So as I got older homies, women, the name stuck with me game, game, game. then you got your bitches that wanna ask so.. ah.. is your name game mean you got game for girls, hell no shit. My grandmother gave me that name and she aint no longer here so I gotta capitolize off of everythin and I wish she was here to see that I grown up and the man that I become. But I cant make that happen so what I'm doin is tryin to keep it rightous keep myself humble man and just really give the fans and the whole world everythin that they want I'm tryin to bring back the westcoast it's been ten years the last person to do it was Snoop Dogg and we aint heard from nobody else since I'm not sayin westcoast artists aren't the shit and they dont spit we just not as respected as we used to be so I'm single handedly tryin to bring it back to that level know what I'm sayin."
