The Game

Pop
PopRock

The Game is a Pop and Rock act. Their sound grew out of Mountain, The Who, Ray J, DJ Premier and Mr. Porter. Those roots explain a lot about how The Game arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as G-Unit, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and Fabolous, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into G-Unit, 2Pac, Karan Aujla, Skeme and Ice Cube, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 77 connections around The Game, reaching back through Mountain and forward to G-Unit.
