The Game
The product of the LA drug trade and a rough childhood, The Game has been like a breath of fresh air through Compton's bloated hip-hop scene by forgoing the usual geographic squabbles and concentrating on the dark, brutal struggles of life in Los Angles ghettos.
Amazingly all this almost never happened, as it took being shot by a home invader to set The Game on his career in rap music. Being quickly picked up by ex NWA mover and shaker Dr Dre, The Game has survived a very public spat with 50 Cent to become one of the stand-outs in the post G-Unit world of West Coast rap.

The Game feat. Ne-Yo - Camera Phone
A sort-of self-parodying song which pokes fun at the public personas of The Game and Ne-Yo in a clever way, this essentially reduces 'thug culture' to women and money. Some people might construe a chorus built on the idea of taking a phone picture as kind of a cheap dig, but, y'know, whatever.
Musically this song strikes a balance between chilled and charged. The skittering beat and heavy bass will rock car stereos and dancefloors alike, and the distorted choral sample links Ne-Yo's soft vocal arches to The Game's slick Compton drawl nicely
