I like Buck Bumble a lot ... but not sure if it deserves to be played 100% =x

Haha, didn't even catch that nod for some reason. I loved that game as a kid. I remember I kept renting it from Blockbuster.

But nah, I'm talking about TWEWY.

He even named the video The Greatest Video Game Rap Ever!!!! - Shizzy Sixx

Yeah, my biggest gripe with the whole thing honestly. Made me think it was probably reuploaded by some twat looking for easy hits, but nah.

Unfortunately if you want to get recognized for your work on a place like YouTube a little hyperbole goes a long way. At least in this case it's actually pretty damn good.

 

[edwardslane]

Impressive

This compliment comes from a metal head that enjoys Lamb of God and Threat Signal daily haha

Now you've got something to die for!~

 

[Ricky_R]

No Uncharted 2 GOTY rap video? I'm disappointed.

[Silphonica]

Rap tunes these days only appeal to me when the lyrics are funny, when it takes itself too seriously it kinda bores me.

example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VmyrHNEmFI Funny halo 2 rap.

Also, it makes me cringe when descriptions say "share this to everyone you know, they need to see this etc etc", if it's good it will spread eventually.

i don't get rap, which song is the bohemian rhapsody of rap music? or the most important song in rap music?

Juicy J - Who Da Neighbors

I wish that were true, but it's really not the case a lot of the time. There's some amazing stuff out there that has no views, and horrible stuff that has tons. Marketing is a multi-billion dollar industry for a reason.

My favourite:

Megaman 2 rap

A sample:

Look up in the sky It’s a bird It’s a plane
It’s air man, bitch and I’m bringin’ the pain
I got a fan installed In my grill no lie
I’m gonna blow your ass straight off the map goodbye

Thank you for setting these heathens straight. Duane and Brando are legendary, and Megaman 2 literally blew my face off the first time I had the privelege of listening to it.

 

[Facism]

not really a videogame rap, but the neogaf rap is still hilarious.

[JawzPause]

Good flow & beats but the video is pretty shitty. Would have rather preferred video game footage to go with the rap.
Edit: Also give Dan Bull a listen

 

[questionmark]

My two favorites:

None Like Joshua rapping to Ephixa's Lost Woods remix

Adam Tensta - Knock You Out, used in the Street Fighter III Third Strike Online Edition E3 Trailer

My favourite:

Megaman 2 rap

Love the first half or so of this. But he latter half doesn't quite hold up imo. It's the same for their Final Fantasy video. Both are still pretty awesome though.

Ice Ice Baby or Baby Got Back.

 

[shaowebb]

Whoa...that guy has talent. I don't even dig rap, but I recognize the skills. Guy is gonna get popular IMO.

 

[abstract alien]

I'll make sure the world ends, with you.

Damn

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Skyrim mention was lame but damn this is pretty good, good flow.

 

[ugoo18]

Very very nice, incorporated both well known and obscure games as well into it and that ending and the Falco line were among my favorites within it. Feels good to have played most of those games as well as recognizing the ones i haven't played yet lol.

 

[PK Gaming]

That was pretty good!

 

[birdchili]

this Dan Bull life-of-gaming song has added "wonderful weather for gaming" to my vocab:

[FoxSpirit]

Spittin Narcissism is still the best complete package.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlP_UK6LEFc

Rap, music and video go together perfectly.

 

[methane47]

My personal fav video game rap would have to be Call the Choppers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrjgZ16zC3s

It just works soo well lol

SEVEN KILL STREAK CALL THE HELICOP!!

 

[Goreomedy]

He's just putting game name references in there out of context.

Yup. Thought it was pretty mediocre myself. Need to stop clicking on "best ever!" Gaf threads.

 

[bishopcruz]

See Protoculture by Del tha funkee homosapien.

Same guy- Vega Cut

 

[Ivan 3414]

Clicked the video in the OP, heard the first punchline, cringed, and backed out.

I don't think there's any possible method to creating a rap song about video games without it being very corny.

 

[RevDM]

Kick
Punch
Jump
Block

 

[Iacobellis]

You all lose.

Richie Bronson - Bring Chrono Back

it is only a bit corny!

 

[Htown]

Yep, he sure did say a lot of video game names.

 

[Stevetopsy]

Totally expected this to be a DK64 thread.

 

[StylusX]

Since we're posting video game rap songs, love cruger's Rayman rap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WXrz_OXmIM

EDIT: Listen to the track in the op...dope as!

 

[Gold_Loot]

I have like zero interest in rap/hip hop, but I have to say ,I enjoyed that quite a bit. Good job representing all types of games on all different consoles

Extra credit for the shout out to my girl Nariko.

 

[Anemone]

My two favorites:

None Like Joshua rapping to Ephixa's Lost Woods remix

When I first loaded that and heard the guy talking I figured it was a joke post--I was wrong. Shit's solid.

 

[GameplayWhore]

Wow, this song really has no cohesion whatsoever. It's all "Here's a rapid fire list of games I like with maybe a quick line or stanza about it". That's one of the laziest ways to write a song (lazier ways include "the same thing but using somebody else's song as a base, changing the lyrics, and calling it a "nerd parody"; and having somebody else write your song), and I feel that doing this lacks a lot of soul.

A good nerd rap tells its own story, like Fett's Vette. That dropped references all over the place, but it had a singular core story to tell (even if it was based on an incredibly overdone trope in rap, the whole "my life was hard, but now I'm the best" meme).

Anyway, this one does get pretty decent when it actually focuses a little bit on individual games (and the melody shifts a bit), but it's really really ADD in general. And he dissed Luigi. In the year of Luigi!



Yeah, I'm probably being unfair to this song because Luigi is my man, and I can't see my man getting disrespected.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Lana Del Ray Video Game Remix by Alex Hanly is a pretty good one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ261Ztnf6A

 

[MuddyDonut]

The most important song in rap is probably this one, as it brought the idea of a white rapper into the mainstream.

bro
the Bestie boys and vanilla ice are rappers

 

[casmith07]

Still the best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml6FNJAiH8I

^ This!

These are still some of the best up there with Redman's Street Fighter song.

No Uncharted 2 GOTY rap video? I'm disappointed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnWH4BfUG6Y

This is still the greatest haha.

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

bro

True, but in the case of Vanilla Ice he quickly became a joke. Ice Ice Baby and that TMNT rap hardly had the kind of impact on the acceptance of mainstream white rappers that Shady LP had.

 

[MuddyDonut]

sounds like you're a Stan

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

Haha nahhhh, haven't listened to Shady in years. Last thing I heard from him was that song about window panes or something.

 

[FartOfWar]

My favorite, quite easily:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re1_IdVjuaw

Cannot be matched.

 

[totowhoa]

Video in the OP was amazing. Enjoyed it a lot more than some of the other things I've clicked on in this thread so far

Same guy from the OP has a pretty good one on Pokemon as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=679ykHBa4P8&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PL25D0447AE4013CA7

[Zukuu]

FG raps are just the best
Grammar Club - Red Cyclone

That was really quite an enjoyable song. Some great call-outs to so many games that I enjoy.

Damn it, Shawn. I thought JustinRPG was just a phase.

 

[Codeblue]

The most important song in rap is probably this one, as it brought the idea of a white rapper into the mainstream.

Best selling rap album of the '80's was Licensed to Ill by the Beastie Boys. If nine million records isn't mainstream, I don't know what is.

Good man, especially on Threat Signal. Did you know that Pat is a big gamer?

 

[FACE]

Bro Team's Skyrim rap is pretty solid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjvA4aZS7rs

 

[Vexxan]

Solid stuff, especially liked the Zelda segment.

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

Yeah, sorry, I forgot about Beastie Boys. I never saw them as rap though. And I don't recall people making a big deal about them being white either, unlike Em. After Shady LP it was like every white boy who was into rap wanted to be a rapper.
