Busta Rhymes Gets Lost, Damned

New music to debut in GTA IV expansion.

It might not immediately fit with the biker motif of Grand Theft Auto IV's Lost and Damned expansion, but then the ability to play a number of different radio stations while you're doing dirt is one of the GTA series' many charms. Rockstar has announced that along with the new missions and game content in its upcoming GTA episode, Lost & Damned will also feature new music. Five of the game's radio stations will see new updates, and the rap station will feature a new, as-yet-unheard song from Busta Rhymes called "Conglomerate."

Funkmaster Flex will also take a short break from "dropping a bomb on them" and "rewinding the first verse of a song so you can hear it again while loud sirens ensure that you can't really hear it to begin with" to appear on the game's rap station as a DJ. He'll also interview Busta Rhymes at some point during this new content.

In case you can't wait for the 17th to see/hear Busta Rhymes being interviewed, here's a clip of Bussa-Buss on Tim Westwood. They all do the Arab Money dance and look silly as hell.

It's good to hear that the Radio Stations are getting new songs as I really didn't like most of them in GTAIV. I stuck to talk stations really.

I've heard Conglomerate before... it's on RealTalkNY or some other rap website... it's ok I guess. I like the beat but Busta should really stop rapping imo.

I had my hopes up for the new radio expansions since a Sepultura song played in the first TLAD trailer. But after hearing some of the stuff on the rest of the trailers, it isn't looking too good for us metallers.

The rap stations seem to be getting the best treatment with all sorts of original programming, whereas the closest thing to a metal-like station in the game (LCHC) is filled with ear piercing punk music. Bleh!

Great, I didn't even think about the music when I heard about the DLC.  It just keeps looking better and better.

Westwood is a fucking joke! What with his knife and fork haircut and his forced gangsta attitude. I often wonder if he speaks to his mother in that accent when he's round for Sunday dinner. 'Yo, mumz, pass the mint sauce - dis lamb needs some fresh flavourz!'



As for Busta, he does nothing for me. At the risk of sounding like an elitist twat, the majority of modern mainstream Hip Hop is the reason many think all Hip Hop is solely about guns, bitches and bling. It's a damn shame most people won't actually dig a bit deeper and discover some of the really good stuff outside of Clear Channel playlists. Rant over.

Damn, I was hoping for updates to the Talk Radio stations. They're not very long in GTA IV. I know there's more than ever before, but even so.

I wonder if everyone knows that Tim Westwood is a 50yo Middle class white guy whose dad is a Bishop in the Church of England...
