Games with rap/hip hop artists in

[Big Seany]

Trying to think back to all the games that feature rap or hip hop stars, for a tongue in cheek feature I am doing for a mate's blogspot thing. Please feel free to list as many as you reprobates can think of. I am talking physical appearances or a strong presence, as opposed to a cursory spot of rappery on the soundtrack or whatever.

Holla back at me dawwwgzzz

Bashing Sean Paul in on Def Jam is an obvious highlight, wasn't Bubba Sparxx in a game? i seem to recall it was some kind of motorcross type game, might have imagined it though.

edit: yeah, i imagined it

More soundtrack but I have to say I think the soundtrack added a LOT to FightNights 2 & 3 !!

Obviously Def Jam FFNY and Icon

50cent's bag of **** game

Snoop Dogg was in something as a hidden character - was it that cop GTA rip off set in NY or LA ?

I'm 100% Ice-T has been in a game as well (might have just voiced a cut-scene character) but I can't remember what it was.

Not much help - maybe others can put names to the games

Nelly was apparently in nba street lol as a secret character.

hip hop artists are everywhere now, the less said about 50 pences bulletproof the better.

Defjams games has them in spades vendetta, FFNY, icon, etc.

GTA san andreas had a good few too, the game was a voice over for a character in a mission lol.

I think styles p was in a game once too, go wikipedia him and it will say i think.

If you are talking about hip hop in general in games then there are a lot of hip hop and rap tunes in a lot of game already, well before games had appearances by artists. Hip hop refferences as a cultural form in games has been around for donkeys of years....... whether it be slang, music, imagery like graffiti tags, etc. Hip hops is no longer a music form but like diddy says a way of life

Yup, he was the head guard and Riddick's nemesis. He put on quite a performance too.
