Well the majority of rap that is listened too is absolute crap which is what gets me there are some real excellent artists out there that people never hear of.And with rock well that depends some people think Kings of Leon is rock and roll(which is ridiculous) when true rock and roll is the likes of ACDC.
But when it comes to a montage i'd rather use an instrumental beat or something of the like because the lyrics can roughen things up and be out of place where as a good beat or instrumental can seem to warp in with the visuals of the video itself.Haha sounds stupid right?
Yeah man instrumentals are the way to go when i'm playing a game thats what i usually play from the hard drive and even rap songs you really have to believe how smoothly some songs fit in(not this new age crap though).I mean i listen to all music(to an extent) but i find it difficult listening to something like Pink Floyd or ACDC when i'm in a game of gears.
As long as people stop using the same old Linkin Park and Pendulum songs things could be better i mean damn if your going to use some form of rock at the least go for Rage Against The Machine or something not Wolfmother.
There are plenty hip hop songs that would make good montage footage. It's just people don't know nothing about music (like the idiot that said rap sucks).

Put on a madlib beat
People need to stop worrying about what music they are using and try and create an interesting video. You should be able to take any game and combine with any sing and it make it flow. It is by FAR the lack of creativity from these montage creators that is dragging the video down, not Lincoln Park, not JahZee or Little Wang.
I think people need to see that there is more than Linkin Park out there. I would love to see a great montage with Classical music or maybe alittle catchy Jazz. Linkin Park is not the best montage music when it has been done to death. Don't get me wrong I like some of Linkin Park's music but I get sick and tired of seeing people's uncreativity.K1LLR3175
There are LOTS of montages with classical music it's overused... watch this montage it's probably one of the best montages ever made

Well damn. I did not know that since all the ones I see have Linkin Park or other rock music.Old Jay Z like Dead Presidents... other wize I agree with the new rap not as good. Kinda like lil wayne isn't as good as he was in the carter 1oray19
wow can't believe you mention that bum lil wayne that guy is terrible
that means they must know something (double negative);)There are plenty hip hop songs that would make good montage footage. It's just people don't know nothing about music (like the idiot that said rap sucks).

Yeah, because there's totally not enough rap music in video games. It's such an underused genre of music in gaming...
Personally, I'm sick of every single game I play being full of rap music in an attempt to cater to 15 year old suburban white kids who think they're "thugs". I hate having to go into the options of a game after 2 minutes of playing and turning off the music because I don't want to hear "Yo yo I gots da money and da hoes and ma bling bling and ma rimz is bigger den yourz, ya herd? Whitey try ta keep me down but I bust caps in da po po a** mo****er!! I sell da most drugz and I gotz a milli in cash and I be strapped... I comin from da dirty souf hear ma mouf I'm da harest ni*** on earf so don't step or ya getz ma fo fo in yo grill holmez!!"
And shut up, yes it is all like that. It's the most formulaic form of music ever created and the whole "scene" is nothing but bandwagon jumping. Don't get me wrong, Linkin Park and all this emo crap isn't much better, but I seriously can't believe I'm reading a topic where someone thinks there's not ENOUGH rap music used in the gaming community. It's so overused it makes me sick.
For all those looking to see a creative montage and it uses rap music, we even threw in someMJ Thriller, and the gun shots are on beat too,check out my clan members on Youtube, his name is GodsTrgrfinger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghizaXfQby0
While you are on there check out the rest of our montages, such as mob ties.
You couldn't be more wrong about rap. Clearly you have never herd real rap. Mainstream is different from rap and you would know that if you actually took time to listen too it. Rock is people screaming about killing **** and sacrificing... No one wants to hear that. I'll tell you right now, rap is poetry. The people who can't understand that are people who base there reasons for hating it off of the lame crap they think up in there heads. If Iil wayne can do rock... any one can do rock that's how easy that stuff is... Oh and by the way... rap isn't black or whiteoray19
You are an ignorant, hypocritical child for posting this. How can you sit there and cry about how people unfairly judge rap, exclaiming that if they just "took the time to listen to it" they'd see the beauty and majesty of it and in the next sentence say that rock is solely about killing things?

I think that he was upset that DeceptionDevil, feels that rap or hip-hop music is all negative and about one subject matter, and is trying to point out that rock music is filled with basically the same subject matter. How ever I feel both are pretty close minded or have not listened to other artist in the rap or rock music genre, as I love Hip-Hop but I like all different types of music from rap, rock, r&b, etc. Before saying that a any type of music is only filled with negative content or only contains one subject, how bout trying to actually try to see if thats true, because as a example their is some good Gospel Rap and Rock music out there, and I hardly believe that those songs are filled with the drug and women references. Back on topic the TC is refering to montages not other outlets, so he is kind of right but there is other rap montages out there besides ours, you just have to look.yea this is so true
i'm so sick of listening to rock music while playing a game
If your tired of listening to rock music while playing a game, only you can change that, how ? Its simple play something else while you game. The subject is about people who make montages, and that they mostly use rock music, but as I said there is others you have to look for them; there is even some that use many different types of music in one montage.Please Log In to post.
