@darkbeatdk: As a New Orleanian, I fully appreciate your apparent knowledge of bounce music/artists.

Happy to see that too. I work in the music/tv industry and have a professional relationship with Big Freedia so cool to see people on Giant Bomb know him as well. My friend had a bounce competition with Freedia when he was in our office a couple months back. Suffice to say he lost.

This seems like a really uninspired, poor representation of trap...

That was FREAKING EPIC. The rap music made it even more cool IMO.

Hmm.. I was slightly interested until the music kicked in.. I thought some other video was playing in another tab...

I know hip hop and ninjas have a pop culture "connection" but.... I've never really understood the reasoning behind it, other than a very superficial "badassery".... in my eyes, it's a shallow western free association cultural prostitution... and no amount of attitude will change my mind.

Game looks like expected.. I guess.

Uhm ever heard of the Wu Tang Clan? Ghost Dog? RZA?

The connection between rap/gang culture and asian warrior codex, like the Bushido/Hagakure, has been a pretty old and well established one. Basically gangbanggers compared what they are doing, to the fights in feudal Japan/China with all the "honor", "fight till the end stuff" and rivalries between dozens of different clans/gangs, and started to translate these to their every day live, giving their whole way of life some artificial depth and meaning, giving them at least the impression of doing something "honorable".


Not a big fan of "gang culture" myself, but they could have picked worse "role models" than those. But I'd agree with you on the "cultural prostitution", at least after having seen The Man with the Iron Fists...
