The Game's debut studio album, The Documentary (2005), produced five singles, including the two US Billboard Hot 100 top five singles "How We Do" and "Hate It or Love It" (with rapper 50 Cent), in which both singles reached gold sales status. The other three singles includes "Westside Story" (with rapper 50 Cent), "Dreams", and "Put You on the Game". The album reached number one in the United States, and shipped over 2 million copies and was a certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). After the album's release, the Game was considered to be a driving force in reviving and bringing back the West Coast hip hop scene, which has been overshadowed by artists from the East and South. The Game was nominated for two 2006 Grammy Awards: Grammy Award for Best Rap Song and Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for the hit single, "Hate It or Love It". [1]
After the Game had a falling out from Aftermath Entertainment and G-Unit Records, he retained his deal with Interscope Records while merely swapping roofs with subsidiary, Geffen Records. The Game's second studio album, Doctor's Advocate (2006), debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, making it his second number one album in a row, also making it another commercial success with shipping just under 358,000 sales in its first week. Doctor's Advocate produced three singles such as "It's Okay (One Blood)" (with reggae singer Junior Reid), "Let's Ride", and "Wouldn't Get Far" (with rapper Kanye West). The album was set out by the Game to prove that he was still able to make good music and be a successful artist as he did on The Documentary without the help of Dr. Dre or 50 Cent.
The Game's third studio album, LAX (2008), went head to head with heavy metal and nu metal band Slipknot's All Hope Is Gone on the US Billboard 200, as both of these albums were released on August 26, 2008. LAX debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, at first, it looked like that LAX would debuted ahead of All Hope Is Gone by selling 13 copies, with such a close difference. Initially, Billboard published an article stating that The Game secured the top spot with a margin of 13 units, in what was described as the "closest race for number one since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking Data in 1991". [2] Slipknot's labels Warner Music Group and Roadrunner Records asked for a soundscan recount, a historic first. Nielsen proceeded to the recount, placing LAX at number two, with 238,382 copies, and Slipknot in first position with 239,516 copies scanned, a margin of 1,134 copies. After the recount 12 hours later, the article was rewritten and Slipknot was awarded the number one spot, having sold 239,516 units. [2] LAX also produced four singles such as "Game's Pain" (with R&B singer Keyshia Cole), "Dope Boys" (with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker), "My Life" (with rapper Lil Wayne), and "Camera Phone" (with R&B singer Ne-Yo).
