" Jeff is a gangsta. "

I don't think this guy is playing a character at all. I respect what he's doing because he seems honest. Now I'm kinda interested to see what he has to say about females in gaming.

I've never heard the "gamers are white" stereotype. "

I'd think there is a much bigger problem with the stereotype of the gamer as "misogynic, homophobic young males", established through Xbox Live and such - and this guy certainly isn't helping in breaking that stereotype.
 
Go read some of the posts on http://fatuglyorslutty.com/ - Valierie Solanas' ideas seem perfectly reasonable after seeing what a scary amount of people are like. They don't even seem to be a vocal minority of the modern gaming community.

I can see why people love HipHopGamer, but I just can't stomach him. 

I don't like the persona he takes on, but I think he's an intelligent journalist, and I think he's got some good ideas here. I've never heard of him before this thread, though.

well, now i know what jeff does when he isn't working with giantbomb. he is at crack houses hanging out with black people. pretty good life.

Personally I can't stand HHG. Not only is he a giant idiot (honestly just listen to him talk for more than 5 minutes) but he doesn't even realize that most people are laughing at him and not with him.  
 
I will never understand his (albeit small) popularity... 

Jeff and HipHopGamer seems to get along fine, I don't see any problems with him. 
 
  

Seems he is just acting a character to me.  Like Ballsrog but not as funny.

'ey man, HipHopGamer knows what's up son. He calls 'em like he sees 'em.

AngryJoe and HipHopGamer should both be put in some kind of deadly game of Wipeout where it is unlikely either of them survive. (I included Joe as well since he's nearly as annoying)

Don't hate... Congratulate.

I appreciate his enthusiasm, as misguided as it may be. But dude is definition of "guy with a blog", and I find his gangsta shtick to be kind of insufferable from the little I have seen, even though it's hilarious in the context of how cool he thinks Jeff is. 

I know I should hate this, but that video is incredible and I fully support The Hip-Hop Gamer.  
  
"First off, let's talk about her personality!" *camera drops to her breasts*  Classic. Priceless.
 
You know, the girls like it, Hip Hop Gamer gets to meet fine ladies, what's the problem? 

We need the Reggae Gamer. I like things smooth.

I think it's great that he gets so excited, but HipHopGamer can be really hard to watch.

I believe it started with Ben Kuchera talking about some guy who "rewards" his freelancers with tickets to E3. People were saying that E3 is a place for work to be done, not treated like Disneyland. I guess these guys just disagreed with each other.

" This guy is just not my cup of tea, but GOD DAMN do I love his enthusiasm and wish him luck.  He's trying a different approach to "Games Journalism" than anyone else, and I respect the hell out of that. "

I was reading some more of that argument and man...I like Hip Hop Gamer and all but he comes off as a fucking idiot in those conversations.

" I'm still holding out for The BebopGamer. "

scathing critic of jeff's kinect skillz

a hiphopper being obnoxious. Imagine that.

I never had a problem with Hip Hop Gamer but damn, this this makes him seem like a bipolar lunatic.

The dipshit could've at least spelled Jeff's name right.

I'm still holding out for The BebopGamer.

I don't see how this is shocking; I can definitely imagine how he and Jeff'd get along well

I'm not following here. I read through that conversation but what did Ben say that got Hip Hop Gamer so angry? I know someone told him to "shut the fuck up" and he called him a "pussy ass faggot" or whatever. But when did Ben come in? And what does Jeff have to do with this?

Jeff is a gangsta.

That guy is always a pain to watch.

I don't even know where to begin with this. There's this guy going by the name HipHopGamer on the internet, who recently gained a lot of infamy for making videos about the positive impact women have in the video game industry. Sounds cool, right? Well, the videos themselves are crass, with videos transitioning into a a montage of scantily clad women dancing. Furthermore, in the end of each video he discusses what he imagines the said gamer girl would be like between the sheets (no, I'm not making this up).  You can watch the most recent of these Hot Girls in Gaming videos,which is about Rachul Moore (although she seemed cool with the video itself).  
 
Ben Kuchera from Ars Technica recently got into an argument with Hip Hop Gamer, and I'm trying to read the conversation, but I'm not sure what started it.
