The God of War rap song. Yes, you read that right photo

So there was a contest for God of War 2 called the God of Noise. What you had to do was make a song for God of War 2. This was the criteria:

All Song submissions will be judged on the following criteria: originality 40%; musical compatibility with the feel/tone of the game 30%; creative use of game score samples 30%

So what's the big deal? Well aside from having a horrible hook ("The warrior Kratos achieved immortality by killing ares to become the God of War. Now it's your turn to achieve immortality and become the God of.....Noise.") the winner's song, George Domain, makes me cry laughing every time I hear it. I dare you to tell me you aren't dying from laughter either. 

I really hope this song makes it to the soundtrack.

WTF? My friend's band submitted a heavy metal song! Heavy metal fits in with God of War more than rap.

ok, you see people. THIS is awesome. This deserves attention. not that fucking pantomime video. This guy made a beat and wrote lyrics and recorded a whole song. This is geek cred right here.

This is a joke, right? RIGHT? Wait it's not April 1st. Damn.

This isn't metal at all. Horns down.

I'm just trying to get my mind around how this guy saw "compatibility with the feel/tone of the game" and thought "I know, I'll do a gangsta rap as Kratos! That seems exactly like something he would do!" That was an awful song to begin with, but the fact that it won boggles the mind.

I thought it was good. There's enough goddamn metal in these types of games to begin with. This is REFRESHING.

Pretty good production, but not my style... I would've preferred rock or something better.

It was good, but it should be placed in the soundtrack only, it doesn't really belong in the game anywhere.

The winning song is nothing short of awesome.
I want to download the MP3 from somewhere but have had no luck searching for it.

made you cry laughing? really? pretty stupid statement if you ask me. i don't listen to rap, much less care for it, but it sounded decent...seriously, how the hell did you cry laughing?

i was expecting a lot worse for some reason. it's actually pretty well done considering it's just fan music. but all the same i wouldn't want that on a soundtrack that i bought... or want to ever listen to it again for that matter. a good rap tune that aint.

Honestly, what would you have preferred? Repetitive riffs and breakdowns with some guy screaming unintelligible lyrics?

Like I said before, metal's been way overdone with this genre. And this rap is way better than some of the shit that I hear on the radio that's considered "rap" now-a-days.

And this is coming from the person who thinks Jazz is the greatest music form evar.

It was probably the most polished song they got as an entry, it did use a ton of sounds from the first game in it....

I could see this used for the credits or something, only because lyrics are distracting.
