Mega Man 9 rap remix album? Yes, please.
DanlHaas \| 6:49 PM on 02.07.2009	8 comments

I am so glad I found out about this guy.

Raheem Jarbo, aka Random Beats or just Random, is an Arizona-based hip-hop artist slash school teacher who also happens to be officially licensed by Capcom. After a few legitimate rap albums, Random has decided to embrace his nerd side and release Mega Ran 9 a ten-track rap CD comprised entirely of songs inspired by, and sampling, the brilliant Mega Man 9 soundtrack.

This thing is amazing.

You can download the free version of the album here, but if you'd rather listen to some tracks individually, you can do that here. You can expect this thing to remain free up until it is released in stores (!), which should be on March 24th. Also, if you're interested in learning a bit more about the man and his music, this interview with Kwanzoo comes highly recommended.

Ha! Ha!
Man, the effort people put into crazy shit like this brings a smile to my face!
Weird. Wacky. Wild.
Cool?! Ummmmmmmmmm...

This is actually his second Mega Man-themed album. The first one was Mega Ran, natch.

Hopefully this will be as good as the original Mega Ran!

Toadofsky

This is awesome. As good as Norwegian Recycling's mashups of popular rap songs and Donkey Kong Country songs together. If anybody reads my last comment, please, check that out, it's great. Though Billie Jean Kong was probably the weakest mix.

Holy Shi--

I had no idea how SICK this guy's work is! I'm about to buy the first album off iTunes. The Ringman man sample sold me

Very cool, always on the lookout for new artists to listen too.

about me

Hey, Destructoid.
I'm Danl. I hail from beautiful Northfield, Minnesota and I'm currently in my third year at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, where I hope to major in Art and Computer Science. Been gaming as long as I can remember, but you've heard that story before. My gaming history is almost entirely Nintendo-centric, but that's primarily a result of economic constraint as opposed to brand loyalty. I'll try to keep fanboyism to a minimum. I do lots of casual sorts of console gaming, and lots of hardcore sorts of PC gaming. I also love me some DS, so let me know if you want to show me your pokemanz. Oh, and I'm a huge consumer of nerdy music, specifically Nerdcore hip-hop, chiptunes, and videogame music cover bands.
