Hip Hop in games finally done right - I hope...
vishusdelishus | 4:56 PM on 02.04.2008 5 comments


It's no secret I love hip hop. I have contemplated blogging about my disdain for the way it has been handled in games thus far - crappy compilations of the flavours du jour slapped into games with an 'urban' theme. Now that unborn blog seems somewhat moot, as it was announced today that Chuck D and Just Blaze will be providing audio treats for the upcoming release NBA Ballers: The Chosen One.

Public Enemy was the first concert I ever attended waaaay back in 1990. Chuck D is a personal hero of mine, and is a bonafide sports (and comics!) enthusiast. Just Blaze has produced some extremely hot beats and has been a ray of light in the uber-material years of hip hop culture, and will be providing a new and dynamic soundtrack written specifically for the game.

Can I get a yes yes y'all?

...in honour of this monumental event I will include a sketch of Big Daddy Kane I drew a few weeks ago with my new tablet. BOOYA!

Yeah I kinda agree how hip-hop has been butt seck'd up so many times. I'm not a fan of it, but I can see where you're coming from. I do hope that in the next decade that game companies won't bastardize a great game and make it all "urban" just to appeal to the younger crowd (i.e. EA and the Need For Speed franchise).

I feel you on the nasty'fication of hiphop music in the gaming industry dude. It makes me think of that nasty audio in Street Fighter III 3rd Strike.
Sadistic speaks truth too, that dirty ass mediocre hiphop in the Need for Speed games gets real irritating too.
