, posted Sat 8 Jun 10:19
I find it really weird that rap hasn't really ever been used in video games (3rd strike character select screen notwithstanding). Even though many people dislike rap, I feel that it is so versatile that it would fit in very well with certain video games. And i'm not talking about like Kris Kross Video Maker or that one basketball game that had Queen Latifah, Coolio etc. Rap is one of the most versatile types of music that their is, it can be angry, smart, political, happy, fast, slow, fun, ANYTHING! Why has GOOD rap never really made its way into video games? Anyone who either loves rap, or hates it, post your thoughts!
Oh yeah, and for summer lazing around, no song does it for me like Jam by Naughty by Nature. Just makes me want to call some friends, go to a beach, and have some fun.
Bolischoy Tavieda!
Owhyawhyawhyawhya!

I love Rap but I can't see myself playing some CvS2 while listening to som Jay Z or anything.
THe best type of music to listen to while fighting is some Rock/Rap or Rock. preferbly Korn or Limpbizkit(keep rollin')
Some Rap can fit in but there is nothing like some fighting music to go with fighting.

Anyway,I like some rap. But it's gotta have some sort of meaning,or a bad-ass beat I can jam,too. Not about all this bling-bling shit.
EXACTLY! I like rap too, but I just can't get into the bling-bling shit either. It is meaningless unless you relate to it, and I can't relate to that shit, I'm broke, and I don't want all kinds of crazy women all over me, I'm happy with the one I have right now. Rap has gone downhill since 1996. That's why Eminem got soooo fuckin' popular because he came in rappin about how troubled his life is and how he was broke and his problems. This is what makes him so interesting. He basically is a throwback to the early 90's when rap was really controversial. I remember when they were gonna put out another NWA CD, but what would they rap about? Would they have a song called "Fuck Room Serivice"?
Basically broke rappers are better because they are hungry.
A good CD: N.E.R.D., In Search Of........
It's really good. It's different.

Those names you just mentioned,Coolio,Queen Latifah,reminds me back in the early 90's when they were at their peak of popularity. Now they're hasbeens. 
How ironic.
