6. The Game

The rapper nearly died after he was shot five times back in 2001. But The Game sees the incident as a blessing in disguise, as it caused him to leave behind the gang lifestyle of drug-selling and hustling that he was accustomed to. He was induced into a coma for three days following the shooting. While recovering in the hospital, Game told his brother to go out and buy all of the classic hip-hop albums. Over the course of the next five months, Game studied all of the various influential rap albums and developed a strategy to turn himself into a rapper. The Game has sold ten successful albums over the past ten years and currently owns his own record label, Blood Money Entertainment.
