Forever Famicom is the gift that keeps on giving! After releasing two companion EPs, rapper Random put the finishing touches on a music video for "Epoch" off the original CD. Sampling the main theme from Chrono Trigger, the song is Ran's declaration at having made it in the music scene. Along the way, a ton of games get referenced in the lyrics, and for that reason, "Epoch" may very well be my favorite track off the album.
The video was originally filmed during PAX East 2011, so watch out for a few noticeable faces. Also, I have to show a little love for Ran's producer, K-Murdock, who features prominently in the video. No one ever shows respect for the producer, so I gotta give him his due. Thanks for beats, K-Murdock!

@Tony Ponce
Yeah, I'm surprised Dtoid's resident hateful sheep hasn't popped up to spew his hate and inability to grasp the fact that people have other interests. This was legit.
This is cool, but nothing may ever top Protoculture by Del tha Funkee Homosapian when it comes to rap songs about video games. Seriously, check the song out if you haven't heard it already, its great.
Wow, this is awesome. I personally don't like rap very much except Cypress Hill... but damn. This is AMAZING. I Seriously can't stop listening to this and have it on a continuous loop. Amazing. This is absolutely amazing. Thanks for posting this. Wow
He was actually trying to say "tough", shitbird. Don't come in here and act like you're smart all of a sudden. You're not. You're dumb. Uneducated. Slow. I mean, for god's sake, you think "c.rap" is a viable insult. I would feel bad for you if you weren't such an asshole.
Don't have kids. Though I'm sure that's not really an issue for you.
@Tony Ponce: I agree. Good thing this isn't quality at all. It is mildly videogame related because he raps about game-related things. INSTANT FRONT-PAGE QUALITY! Derp.
He probably never even bothered listening to the video. He rants about rappers, and yet he never contributes anything. All he does is spew hate. Yet another person that generalizes a group because all they bother knowing is what they hear on the news. The real scum are the people who make generalizations of people.
I bet he doesn't know that Random is a teacher among other things. Another rapper Common requested to donate his time and visit my old high school to talk to the students and do a Q&A.
You can't say you are a true lover of music and deny an entire genre. No lame inevitable argument can change that.
@R O C K O N R AP O F F
This is a video game website, dumbass. No one gives a shit about what music you like. It's almost sad. You devote so much time to hating rappers that will never know you exist, and neither will any of the rock groups you love so much. And if they did, they wouldn't give a shit about your opinion either, because you're just an insignificant little prick who will never be anything more than some random idiot desperate for attention. But please, don't ever get a life because I find your stupidity hilarious.
@Rock on
You really are a sad little person. Your pathetic attempts (read: failures) to insult are more entertaining than anything, as is the fact that you are literally a parody of yourself. Every insipid, hate filled word you pound out of your keyboard is a cliche, utilizing the same childish retorts and name calling that you always do. It's unfortunate that in your arrogance you're so blind to how absolutely ridiculous you sound. I get it, You're a narcissist with immense maturity problems. You can't even comprehend that you're actually NOT some incredibly unique, intellectually superior creature that "gets it" while the rest of us are just "wannabes".
But that's totally cool, because while you like to point your finger and call us, being the individuals who aren't so childishly holding on to a hatred of something as insignificant as a genre of music, herd animals and sheep, we're all well aware of the fact that in this menagerie of animals we all apparently are, you're the retarded fawn with a gimp leg that will some day wander into a den of wolves, all the while fantasizing about how great you think you are.
I truly pity you, and the fact that your life must be of paltry value that you chose to express yourself in such a base, neanderthal-esque way.
@Rammstien
Go troll somewhere else, because no one cares that you're too much of an elitist to even consider things that are below your "standards" the rest of us arent too busy trying to hard to be cool on the Internet to appreciate someone else's creativity, and before you try to deny it, consider the fact that if those weren't your intentions, you wouldn't feel the need to brag about how you passed judgement over something based on 5 seconds, a mere fraction of the whole.
Nice comeback. Keep those delusions going strong kid, maybe some day you can grow up to be someone who doesn't pathetically avoided calf arguments against them on the basis that they are a racist piece of shit who has no valid retort.

"Did I take a shit on your cake and piss on your presents? ... Actually the truth of the matter is you're all just population of annoying little foul mouthed/illiterate pests in need of being exterminated. ... degenerate kind."
Random and Adam Warrock absolutely stole the show when they toured with mc chris. Genuinely nice guy who works his ass off to bring music about subjects he loves to appreciative people.
People like Rock will forever be a mystery to me. He gets off on being a "truth sayer", but has no rebuttal when others speak with their actions as opposed to angry words.

Not only is he a racist, but he doesn't really know shit about music. All the rap he hates is ca. 2004, and he thinks it's still relevant. You can tell he doesn't actually know anything about rap music - which I'm sure he would wholeheartedly agree with. I mean, saggy pants? Really? Come on.
You can also tell he knows he's full of shit. Instead of using valid responses, he reverts to yelling and name-calling, because he knows that's all he has.
Sheep denial identity crisis, got it. You made all those (pointless) points at the beginning. Care to add anything new whatsoever, or is your brain not quite to sixth-grade yet? Do you plan on just repeating yourself until one of us goes "OH MY GOD ROCKO WAS RIGHT I AM SHEEP BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE WORST"?
Be smarter, dude.
And it's "cliques," for fuck's sake. Do you, you know, read things? Ever?
And seriously, what the fuck is a support group for the mentally challenged? You think people with Down's get together in church basements and talk about how to fix their disease? Do you even fucking live in this world?
Oh, trust me, your kind are gonna die out WAY before mine do. Short of the violent genocide you call for - strange, that you don't have any qualms about the mass killings of certain people, I wonder what kind of people think like that - you and your anti-rap elitists will die alone and irrelevant. The world will be a happier, less racist place when you and the old curmudgeons who taught you your opinions die off. And in the highly unlikely event that you DO find a vagina unrepulsed enough by you to give you kids, they're going to hate you so much that they'll turn to rap music as a form of rebellion - they don't want to listen to Asshole Dad's shitty music.
So your racist opinions, which already no one takes seriously, will die with your generation, and no one will miss it. Your time is gone, you're about 20 years too late and 20 IQ points too short to actually make any difference. If youh gave a shit about music at all you'd realize this.
Hey, I'm wearing a belt right now. Since your ENTIRE argument was based on presuming things about me that are entirely false, like me not wearing a belt, or me liking MC Hammer, or me being gay, or me being uneducated, you look like an idiot. Again. Or still, I guess, because "again" implies a temporary pause in the action before resuming.
Don't say "we" when you're talking about metal musicians making music. You don't make music. Your preferred musicians do. Unlike you, I don't associate my identity with the music I listened to - which is why I can listen to rap without wanting to be LIKE a rapper, and which is why you use the term "we" to describe metal. Unlike you, music isn't a social identification process for me, which is what I've been saying all along. The irony of it all is that YOU are the one that uses musical fandom as a social tool, not me. You don't listen to metal because you like it (though I'm sure you think that's why), you listen to it because it's unpopular. The fact that you spend as much (really, way way more) time railing against rap than advocating metal shows what this is all about. It's embarrassingly transparent. You hate the people who like rap, and you cite arbitrary reasons for it, but really, it's because they made you feel inferior in high school, so you're looking for reasons to hate them, and you're willing to make them up.
You don't make music, you're not part of metal. Metal doesn't want you, because you don't make music. You're a listener, not a musician, and that makes you a fanboy, not a participant. And you can't align your identity with fanboy passion.

Some people don't like quality. Understandable.
