I kind of want to try this game out, looks like it could be fun

cool news story Jeff

I think the embedded vimeo vid is more entertaining than this game could ever be.

OMG now I get it! Thank You Jeff 

"Good posture, that's what makes it hip-hop."
 
In terms of these songs?  These new ones are just okay for me.

They brought Jazz hands to hip-hop..... wow, seriously?

It doesn't get any more Hip-Hop then that.

Mama said knock you out —  
HUH! <---- After a few drinks right there is when the person next to you gets a black eye.

"I went to a club and there were no baggy pants and no sneakers.  I didn't know what to think about that." 
 
This can't be a real person!!

Look, they can have my money right now if I can get the game today.

 omg that video.  "It looks like hip-hop"  Check out my sick plies mother fucker!  

Everyone in that video is white, so since I'm black, I don't think I could ever be hip-hop enough. Life just isn't fair.

and then i give them the peace, and i'm out!

ITS CALLED "WE FLY HIGH" NOT "FLY HIGH"
 
Im probably the biggest Dipset/Jim Jones fan ever, so dont fuck this up! :O

you know when a dude start starts doing pliets in a club SHIT IS BOUT TO GET RAW SON !!

I'm glad there's at least one Tribe song in the game, but I wish there was more stuff like that. Hopefully there will be.

If you ain't wearin blue silk, it ain't hip-hop.

That video is amazing lol.

Thank you for the comprehensive hip-hop education lesbian lady.

More Wu-Tang, please. Da Mystery of Chessboxin' would be awesome in the game.

it almost seems like this post was just for the video...but nah, jeffs better than that......right?

I'd love for there to be an Aesop Rock track in it just to see how stupid people would look trying to keep up with the lyrics.

so will the crazy back-in-the-day busta rhymes hat be a pre-order item or DLC? :D
 
cause I will only perform Scenario if I can do it like Busta did in the Arsenio Hall performance with the Tribe when Phife Dawg held his mic while Busta was turning the crazy hat inside out to reveal even crazier colors ....all this while rapping his verse :D   
 
check it out below: (the craziness ensues at 3:00)

 

God help Harmonix if somehow This Is Hip-Hop! gets played to a wide audience any time before Dance Central goes live.

amazing. that lady just crammed about 30 years worth of stereotypes into 3 minutes. and this game is the sequel to that OTHER rappin ass rappin game with Jadakiss in it.

"  Oh, and the UK version of the game will have a song called "Chip Diddy Chip" by Chipmunk. My knowledge of UK hip-hop starts and stops with Goldie Lookin' Chain, so I'm afraid I can't tell you if that's a good thing or not."

    

"I give 'em the... PEACE.  I'm OUT!" 
Everything is terrible INDEED.

She is actually the leader of the Crips.

WHO'S HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUSE?

French and German versions will also feature different songs.

one thing you have to know about hip-hop ... its all about posture.

Now more than ever we have an excuse to go ROW! ROW! LIKE A DUNGEON DRAGON!

Public Enemy, please.
