Ludacris released a new CD called "Theater of the Mind" last month and a special bonus track called "Press the Start Button" was included in the Netherlands version of the album. The song is all about videogames and Ludacris drops a ton of game references throughout the track. Contra, Grand Theft Auto, God of War, Ultimate Doom, Super Mario, Mechwarrior to a ton of other games are mentioned.
The song is really good and the way Ludacris ties in all of the game titles together is pretty awesome. Check out the song and let us know what you think of it. What's your favorite verse?

"I'm a God of War, You're a Guitar Hero."
"Pack, man"
Pac, man.
Pacman
Still, I doubt I'll be buying any of his albums any time soon
I like ludacris but this feels like he just skimmed wikipedia for names of popular and influential games then just put a spin on them to use as lyrics.
Now if he had done something like what HarassmentPanda had mentioned or even what Del did with his proto culture track than it might have been more satisfying to listen to.
Or MadHatter. Best video game rap album ever: 8-Bit Bullshit.
"I'm a God of War,you're a Guitar Hero" was my favorite line.
WOW
That was embarrassing to even listen to. I hate to be the one to say it but ... MC Chris > Ludacris
I'm a huge fan of Luda and I approve this song.
awesome
*Goes back to listening to DJ Format*
Killed it again.
