Entire Def Jam Rapstar tracklist takes stage
Notorious B.I.G.'s "Big Poppa," Kanye West's "Stronger," and Beastie Boys' "Brass Monkey" among 45-song deep listing for game due out on October 5.
Konami recently settled a lawsuit with Harmonix parent company Viacom over plastic peripherals. Now, the Japanese publisher is moving forward with a new music rhythm game, Def Jam Rapstar. If the game’s track listing is a pivotal hinge of purchase decision, fans will be happy to know the soundtrack is now known.
Today--six days before the title is due out for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii--the game's entire tracklist was announced. The setlist includes the late Notorious B.I.G.'s 1994 hit "Big Poppa" as well as Kanye West's "Stronger," Nelly's "Hot in Herre," and many more.
