I mean, how is a brother suppose to relate to this game? Is this game for long hair white boys ( and girls ) only? Where is the representation? There needs to be a Rap Heros game.

The commericals are totally racist. They don't feature enough "brothers" getting down to some e-rock.

Only if you don't play on a colored TV. If you do, you are in the clear.

That's a relief.

For a second there, I thought I would have to apologize to Al Sharpton...

Haha.

 

You never know, you might have to if he tries to ally himself with Jack Thompson and begins to patrol the forums going after people.

Thats not the developer of Guitar Heroes problem. And if you think you can't relate to it, don't play it. Simple as that

How can Guitar Hero games be racist? The audience for rock music is predominantly white, although I know quite a few African folks who like rock music. Jimi Hendrix was black and he is one of the biggest names in classic rock, dont forget Ry Cooder, B.B King and Chuck Berry, while they might not be rock artists, they are part of that whole generation. Also probably one of the biggest influence on blues rock artists like Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck was Robert Johnson, who also happens to have been black.

Would you rather have a steriotypical black person in this game? I would rathe not be represented in a game rather than being steriotyped.

Im not a brother. I was just thinking they need a game to represent their music so they can have fun like millions of GH fans. I would not want to play Rap Heroes any more than they would want to play Guitar Heros.

There already was Parappa the rapper and lot of pop and trance and dance games.It's time for rock and roll to be represented.Also,can we humans stop with the racist garbage.We all have one set of eyes, one pair of legs,arms,one heart,sexual organs between our legs,arm pits,one pair of hands,10 fingers,one paif of feet,10 toes,one brain,lungs,liver etc etc.We all feel love,hate,sadness,anger.Lets progress finnally and be united as one species...the human race.8)
