Videogames present: Hip Hop's finest hour
20 raps that made us throw our 🐼hands in the air, and move them about in a careless manner
Above: From the beginning, a genuine understanding of hip hop culture
But very recently we’ve stumbled upon an important milestone. It’s our exquisite pleasure to announce that we’ve finally found the most synergistic relationship ever between games and rap music. A game starring a three time Source Award winning artist, featuring 18 exclusive tracks... Ladies and Gentlemen, of course we’re talking about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand! Get up here and take a bow, Fiddy!

Although, we should acknowledge he stands on the shoulder of giants! More than a few of our favorite games have prayed at the altar of rhyme, usually with frightening results. So, puff out those chests and get ready to strut through GamesRadar’s mighty menagerie of rap🃏tacular gaming moments.
Game: Call of Duty 4
Song: “Deep and Hard”
Behind the Jam: If you “survived&rdquo🍰; long enough in Call of Duty 4 to see it to the end, you’re probably aware of the somber rhyme that accompanies the credits scrawl dropping shout-outs to Call of Duty 2 and de🌠veloper Infinity Ward.

Behind the Jam: If you haven’t heard this there’s a good chance you’re American. “Supermarioland” is one of many Mari♊o based raps that appear on the officially licensed album, Sꦜuper Mario Compact Disco, concocted by the Ambassadors of Funk. Released only in Japan, the song still somehow made it over to Europe, where it managed to score a 9th place position on the UK Singles Chart in 1992.

All the songs based on different entries in the Mario series are surprisingly competent, albeit in an early '90s, Bell Biv Devoe, kind of way that predates widespread access to professional recording software. The downside is that each song goes on about 3 minutes too long and all AoF’s lyrics seem to have been written from four sentences worth of executive notes. You’ll be reminded that Mario is a plumber, saves the princess, and🔴 premiered in Donkey Kong several thousand times throughout the c🌜ourse of the disc.

Unfortunately we can’t embed all the songs here and the album is looong out of print. BUT we’ll be playing more laughable tracks off of Super Mario Compact Disco in this week’s edition of GamesRadar’s amazing colossal podcast,澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:TalkRadar 41!
