OK, so here's the deal: Raphael Saadiq, former member of the R&B group Toni! Toni! Tone! has his own videogame company, the Denver-based studio Illfonic. Their first project is Ghetto Golf, a downloadable titles that mixes together four Gs: games, gangsters, guns, and golf.
Right.
MTV Multiplayer's Stephen Totilo recently got a sneak peek of an early version of the game, which he describes as "Grand Theft Auto meets Tiger Woods PGA." The developers describe Ghetto Golf as "Friday meets Happy Gilmore." We're not sure which description is more bizarre, but we're intrigued. Check out more details at MTV Multiplayer.

Golf games: I hit the ball, I teleport to where it lands, I hit the ball again. That should be it.
They did. I made a mistake. I wrote this post in five minutes. Seriously. Fixed.
I wish I were in a '90s R&B band so I could run a development studio now.

SUP DAWG, WE HEARD YOU LIKE GTA, SO WE PUT A SAINTS ROW IN YOUR TIGER WOODS SO YOU CAN KILL HOOKERS WHILE YOU IMPROVE YOUR PAR AVEAGE.
Ghetto Golf reminds me of looking of a huge shit i just took in a Price Chopper bathroom
because Saadiq is awesome. I mean, did you ever hear a Tony Toni Tone record?
And, by the way, I always envisioned to shot somebody on a golf course like Sayid
We rock up in baggy jeans and hoodies, crack out the joints when we get away from the clubhouse, in the summer we take some ciders with us. Now that is ghetto golf, ripping my Taylormade driver about 260 yards, mostly straight then smoking up some herb on the way to your ball.
Ghetto golf is jeans, hoodies, driving glove, ping cap, nice clubs and proper studded shoes and a fattie holder on your golf bag!
This game sounds like it's made specially for me! Can't wait.
-nb, there's also a magazine here in the UK aimed at golfers like me, Golfpunk. This whole "ghetto golf" thing is bigger than you'd think.
