I'm not sure if 13 & God counts as "real" hip hop, but they sample the "big money big prizes" line from Smash TV on Afterclap.

Top 10 Hip-Hop Songs that Sampled a Video Game
- Thread starter XiaNaphryz
- Start date
Anyone heard the new People Under The Stairs? It has a song dedicated to old school video games, sampling a bunch of games, chip tune type stuff.
Gamers that like hip hop will love it, lots of references to a tonne of classics.
The whole album is good, but not as good as some of their other albums.

Sometimes I listen to these two on youtube... even though I'm not a fan of rap, I really like Megaman music remixed.

When I read the title first thing I thought of was Hellbound, so the thread delivers... for the most part. Benefit. Where is he?

Eminem's verse on Hellbound is one of my favorites in rap ever. It is so battle rap styled, hungry, raw, hilarious, creative, and just fucking awesome.

Tricky's Strugglin.
I'm sure sampled Doom's shotgun cocking. Could be any random shotgun sound though.

As far as samples, here's El-P's 'Accidents Don't Happen'. It has a small sample from I believe Bowser's castle in SMB1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpJzT6eKn4s

The irony is that the background music to Chocolate Rain is from U.N. Squadron (1:27 in). So it's making 8 bit a song that stole from a 16 bit game.

I swear I read the thread title and that's the first song that popped into my head! Brought back memories of my jeep and four 10" in a t-box in the back, 600 watt Zeus amp, and this song knocking in the backgroundZootedGranny said:
I loved the Wu, still do. Just haven't heard much of their recent stuff...God I can't find it anywhere, but a while back my friend played some stuff by Layne Kizzle (something like that). It was all these 8-bit tracks mashed up with straight hood gangster rap, it was a fantastic listen.
Also, no love for Beck's "Gameboy variations"?!
I realize it skirts the boundry of anything resembling hiphop... but this is probably the best song I've heard using game samples.
BECK - Gameboy Variations. Track is called Bad Cartridge (e-pro remix)no idea why the horse video, only thing I could find on youtube :lol

Does Goldeneye really count though? I thought the theme would be considered originally part of the movie.Fordzilla said:

Hellbound +1 (and should be a on top 1 list "Hip-Hop Songs that Sampled a Video Game and are good")
My bad it's not the theme it's one of the songs from the game.XiaNaphryz said:

It's been awhile since I've played Super Metroid, but whenever I hear this song from the Chemical Brothers, I can't help but think of Mother Brain.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ39edBdC1I
It reminds of Mother Brain screaming. Am I crazy? Listen at about the 0:50 mark.
