Knowing this community's tendency to be ironic, especially about hip-hop, I have no idea if these comments are genuine.  As a result I deliberately avoided this QL.
 
I'll return with my proper judgments after I watched it.

"... something rather long, something strong ... it was wrong." 
 
Definitely one of the QL classics.

Actually I did watch the quicklook a day or two later but I watched it from a download and didn't remember to come back and comment. Yeah this game is pretty alright. The only thing holding it back is flexibility of song selection and overall quality of song selection but yeah the game is solid.

Man, I can barely string words together quickly enough to have a regular-ass conversation, much less free-stlye a rap.

I was doing work when this QL randomly popped into my head. I guess that's the end of my work session.

Ah, the classic QLs.

Picked this up yesterday at the pawn shop, mostly for the mic, but also because rapping and karaoke are two great tastes that taste great together.

Shame it doesn't have my go-to track, Forgot About Dre, though. Of course, since they use the music video versions, it would have been terrible anyway due to the way the song is chopped up in the video.
