When Mainstream Rap And Video Games Collide… It’s Not Good

"I analyze a song from rapper French Montana that contains samples from the Kingdom Hearts 2 song “Sanctuary”. Does it sound good? Does it contain deeper and darker subjects compared to most mainstream rap that’s put out on the radio nowadays? And most importantly, does it have anything to do with a sanctuary? Find out!" - FirstDropShow.com

Remove the lyrics, and I'd really like the beat...
Some of the best video game samples I've heard were by Charles Hamilton:

This Song is OLD
This Story is OLD
The website reporting this is LAME

Art is Art, I like the Beat but too bad French Montana has pitifull Lyrics.

Also Rap Music in general sucks so the editor should try listening to Hip Hop and YES there is a BIG difference between Rap (Casual Mainstream CRAP) and Hip Hop the art form.

eindeadmiles4108d ago

November 19th was the release date of the mixtape
No major websites reported the story
Thank you for your constructive criticism kind sir.

There is good rap music, "No Love" by Eminem feat. Lil Wayne is one of the many great rap tracks out there.

Hip Hop encompasses different genres including rap that appears on the radio.

BlaqMagiq244108d ago

@eindeadmiles

No Love is one of the worst rap songs Eminem has ever done and is definitely not of the great rap tracks out there. Don't get me wrong he's one of the all time greats but he is WAY better than that. Plus Lil Wayne should've never been on that song with the lines he had.

I've listened to rap my whole life and I've heard way better rap songs in the past few years than that one.

"Eminem feat. Lil Wayne"

I read that and stopped caring.

doogiebear4109d ago

What a pointless topic. Sheesh it's not even the weekend yet, and the cream of the crap article topics have already surfaced for the week.

NYC_Gamer4108d ago

It's because mainstream rap is garbage

Psychotica4108d ago

"Rap Music" is an oxymoron..

17 years ago, Square Enix delivered the most astonishing RPG prologue ever — and it paid off wildly

Kingdom Hearts 2 is a massive sequel that improves upon nearly everything from its predecessor, but the risky prologue is what left the biggest lasting mark.

I like this series but I wish they would tone down all the different releases. Atleast release them consistently on the same gaming machine so it can be followed. I read last week they got a kh for my damn washing machine it's super annoying. Kidding about the washing machine.

FallenAngel1984479d ago

All the games are available to play on modern platforms

Flawlessmic479d ago

Yea there all available on the playstation sub service now.

Hofstaderman479d ago

I remember buying a DS and a 3DS to play some games lol.

shinoff2183479d ago

Now but not originally and a few of them are just 3 hours worth of cutscenes so almost but not quite.

Inverno479d ago

Yea, now. But years ago you had to get a PS2, Gameboy, PSP, a phone that could play Coded, DS, 3DS. After they finally came around with the remasters they put the last collection instead on the PS4 before re-releasing all collections on the PS4. Then they decided to put very important story parts on a mobile game, and are now AGAIN putting more important story stuff on another mobile game. Not to mention the rhythm game also has story stuff. This game is a mess, and needlessly hard to follow. Who knows if they'll skip the PS4 for KH4 and instead make it a PS5 only game seeing as they made the FF7 dlc ps5 only.

I love this series but you really had to commit to it if you wanted to play it all lol

FallenAngel1984479d ago

@ shin

You say you wished all the games were on the same system and now they mostly are

@ Inv

We’re living in the now right now, hence my comment

KH4 obviously isn’t going to be on PS4.

Not saying the series is perfect, but there is a way to enjoy majority of the franchise on a variety of modern platforms

Oh totally

Like if you want to make a complicated story, cool I guess, but if you separate them onto so many platforms then how the hell am I supposed to keep up

Things were confusing before KH2 when they released Chain of Memories and that was one game, I basically just went through it on Youtube as a kid as I didn't have money and I then enjoyed KH2 a lot more as I knew what was going on.

I think that's what really hurt KH3 for me, they even added plot points from the online game they have going on in Japan, even the side plot with Maleficent and Pete with the box is from that, something which is setting up the next game. I'm sorry but I can't be excited when all this stuff is from a game I don't have any interest to play, they just assume like you've played it.

Oh remember that kid who appeared in the Keyblade graveyard fight, who helped you? Yeah he was from that game aswell, I had no idea but it seemed like a big reveal.

They really need to reboot it next but they won't.

gold_drake479d ago

i definitely agree with that.
i was so pissed that DDD was for the 3ds.

FinalFantasyFanatic479d ago

KH2 was peak KH, it's all downhill from there, if the succeeding games had been as interesting and fun as KH2 I'd still be into the series.

AzubuFrost479d ago

I don't know man. The combat's great and I've had loads of fun with KH2 gameplay, but when it comes to traveling, it is mostly just straightforward. Hell I'll have the audacity to say every world is a long pretty corridor. All I have to do is learn that fly ability and hold down the square button that way I go from the entrance straight to the exit. And they say FF13 is linear? LOL.

FinalFantasyFanatic477d ago

Still, the worlds in KH2 was more fun then I've had with any of the KH3 worlds despite the linearity (I don't remember KH3 or anything after KH2 being noticeably more open). I'm pretty happy with how traveling worked/was designed in KH2.

CrimsonWing69479d ago

I wish I could get into this series. It just makes me cringe so hard with all the whole ”anything can be done with the power of friendship!” Plus the stages themselves I always felt were lackluster.

I think the more serious parts of the story are cool, but man… I tried so hard and I just couldn’t.

shinoff2183479d ago

It took me a little bit but I do like it. I get what you mean though.

-Foxtrot479d ago

I found the whole cringe thing got worse in KH3, I don't know how or why....I thought it would have gotten a bit more mature but there was some really bad bits.

shinoff2183479d ago

I actually have not started 3 yet.

Levii_92479d ago

Yeah it definitely left a lasting mark on me.. everytime i think about KH2 and remember the prologue i almost immediately fall asleep on the spot.

Harkins1721479d ago

Takes 45 mins to do. 3 hours for first timers. It was good to learn about Roxas. Who is a fan favorite.

gold_drake479d ago

i really like the series, but it dwindled woth the release of kh2.

the "friendship is my power" was so cringe. even as a child.

after that, the story ... well lol. just a mess.

Traverse, and Twilight I can agree with but I disagree with all of the KH3 worlds especially Pirates, Pirates was the most disappointing world. Hallow Bastion gave off so much mystery, and Castle Oblivion did so too. Enchanted Dominion from BBS, and it's twisted version in the realm of darkness are probably two of the more visually appealing worlds in the series, without NPCs it unintentionally became very eerie. Keyblade Graveyard is haunting from the moment you set eyes on all the dead blades. Atlantica and Halloween Town from the first game I consider better than how they are in the 2nd.

BlindMango695d ago

Hollow Bastion/Radiant Garden and Twilight Town will always be the best

Lore695d ago

Traverse Town is nostalgia city
