I hate the fact that hip hop is taking over as the lead genre of music in games.

[QUOTE="Plug_One"]

[QUOTE="Ibacai"]I'd like to hear music with more of a classical touch. Yes, it depends on the game. I just don't like the fact that the violin doesn't seem to exist anymore.Ibacai

The God Of War games had great classical soundtracks.

The Smash Bros. games do as well.

I'm tired of hearing rock in my gamesSupraGT

u got that right

I agree, "hip hop" is ultra lame.  even the name of the genre is stupid.  Give me some intense death metal and some bloody killing game and I'll be very happy.ironwarrior2

Ugh not death metal!  It's worse than hip-hop :(

Here in Britain its not just the hip hop genre thats taking over, its also indie music (which I hate!). I may not be a fan of hip hop but I couldnt care less that its being used in games, im just glad indie music is not the main genre being used, its such a disgrace to guitars and rock (sorry to any indie lovers out there!).Soliquid_Snake

I agree.  Indie music just all sounds the same to me, with a few exceptions.  Unlike Hip-hop which ALL sounds the same.

Actually, does the PS3 allow you to play music during games also? Because I hear that through updates they are getting a lot of new features.

The only reason I like Guitar Hero II...being able to play "Thunderhorse" by Dethklok.

But I'm not holding my breath that many games will have metal for their music of choice.

It ALL sounds the same?  Please be specific, the same ignorant and totally untrue statement can be said about rock or any other genre of music. 

So, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Three 6 Mafia, Common, Young Joc, Lupe Fiasco, Gym Class Heroes, and Ludacris all sound the same?  Holy crap some of you people are ignorant as hell.  Something tells me none of you even listen to Hip Hop.

It is true, people say it for any genre that don't know it.  Example:  people think death metal is garbage because you can't understand the words and think bands like Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, 6 Feet Under, Suffocation, etc. all sound the same.

I don't care for hip hop, therefore I won't judge its music since I don't know it. 

I haven't noticed that. Then again, I haven't played much of Def Jam, Saint's Row or NFS.

Burnout has a good mix of music, as does GTA considering how many radio stations there are.

the-very-best

I agree. GTA has a good mix of all music. San Andreas focused on Rap more than other genres because the main character is an inner city gang member. Vice City had a great soundtrack. I'm not a big rock and roll guy and I know how annoying certain Madden's were that had rock in the soundtrack.

The same old "I'ma kill this one and that one" gets old. Talib, Mos, Common (nice sig btw), Masta Ace, and some others are doing something besides the glorifying violence thing. So I agree with you here.  

Lil wayne is hip-hopDS_nintendo

Maybe I just don't play any games with hip hop but I play games that don't have that stuff really.

I love Wangan music. 

fight night, need for speed, any sports game, pretty much anything that didnt have a custom soundtrack produced for it.PSBox3SixWi

buy a 360
attach any mp3 player to a usb port and playcustom soundtracks on any game

New Talib Kweli album is excellent.

I don't think this is true.  Need for Speed has a lot of rock, Forza 2 has a great mix of music.  I mean if you're talking games like Fight Night and Def Jam, then yes it will be mostly hip-hop... but in general I find most games have a well-balanced soundtrack.

To each his own.  I don't think anything's more satisfying than chainsawing someone in half while listening to Cannibal Corpse or Krisiun...

 Rappers like lupe fiasco, little brother, talib kweli and common? U need to look away from what the media feeds you like a fat kid and explore a bit more. Those artists i listed are in complete contrast to what you just wrote.Yet they barely get media attention while the muppets who have nothing to say get splashed all over the radio and tv. hmmmmmmm. wonder why. As for an ealier post that said if "minorities (what?)  prefered to listen to rap then they are all insane, lemme list some bands. sevendust and killswitch to name a few. im black and i listen to everything from linkin park, to p.o.d to sevendust to kanye west and its not because im a "minority" or not one. its cause i like em and nothing more. At the same time, it doesnt mean i automatically like 50 cent and gangsa rap cause im black. I cant stand g-rap because they have nothing to say. The world isnt anywhere near as black and white as some would assume. Media just projects the illusion that it is so. 

All rappers respect in their lyrics is money and hoes.

For the people that think all rap is the same, here is a list (not that you'll be open minded enough to actually give the records a spin).  But seriously, you have to learn to "listen" to rap (good rap).  There are aspects to the music that you have to understand the history and dialect to appreciate it. 

Common - Be
Common - Like water for chocolate
Talib Kweli - Reflection eternal (train of thought)
The roots - Illadelph Halflife
the roots - Phrenology
Little brother - the listening
Little brother - the minstrel show
Little brother - the chitlin circuit
Mos Def - Black on both sides
Mos def and Talib- Blackstar
Slum Village - Fan-Tas-Tic
Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
Jurassic 5  - Quality Control
Outkast - Aquemini
Outkast - ATLiens
Jurrasic 5 - Power in numbers
J-Live  - all of the above
The Foreign Exchange - Connected
Common - One day it'll all make sense
Digable Planets - Reaching

Thanks for the sig comment. 

Cant say very many games I play have rap in them.-.-' But you should think about how the game would work with a genre like...rock.Rock doesnt go with Def Jam,and it doesnt really go with sports games like Fight Night...rock goes more with something like DMC,Guitar Hero,Halo...certain music gets you into the feel of certain games better.But if you want rock in everything,then I guess thats your cup of tea.To say modern day rap sucks and rock doesnt...is an understatement.Rock is just as generic as rap is now adays.I do agree that both suck now,originality has run out.killab2oo5

agreed. i would even go to say rock is more generic than rap atleast rap/hip hop still have people trying to sing their way away from the sterotypes and trying something new. 

just dont  buy the games. If you want to hear an incredible rock soundtrack, try playing Digital Devil Saga I.... right now a new copy will sell for $100+ for a very good reason.

yea rap is dirt

lets get some metal in those games

Great List. Little Brother is the next Tribe called Quest IMO. 

[QUOTE="PSBox3SixWi"]damn it gets irritating. how about some rock?4_Horsemen

because White Stripes owned all :wink:

yeah i hate rap, i find no enjoyment whatsoever in listening to people talk aobut being pimps, getting layed, and having spinny rims. just NO. (and if rap isnt all about that, how bout they dont talk to fast so you can understand them)

anyway reminder once again White Stripes new album June 19th BOOYA

I would like too more good hip hop in games. Knuckles stages music in SA2B is the closest to that... from what I've heard.
