Snoop Dogg comes to Rock Band

[Caliostro]

Yeah, rapping is so easy anyone can do it as well as Snoop Dogg.

So, please post some example tracks of yourself rapping even half as well as Snoop or get off my internets.

Requirements to rap like Snoop Dogg:

Ability to talk: Check.

Only if you're that lame nerdy kid from high school.

Oh, come on that's uncalled for. You know very well a lot of people over here were never the popular kid. By saying something like that you're no better than the jock picking on the unpopular kids in high school.

Nerdy and bitter losers talking about how much rap sucks/is talentless on the internet is way worse, or at least, far more annoying, than what you described.

I am a little insulted that you would call me a bitter loser just because I think rap sucks. Granted, some people feel it does, some feel it doesn't, still doesn't mean any of the two is wrong. And it certainly doesn't mean it's ok to call someone a nerdy bitter loser.

I like Snoop, but I don't think it'll work to add a Snoop Dogg track to Rock Band. I'm wondering what track they will add.

Fine go make us a award winning song then please if its that simple

Why not try something different, the odds are it will be bad but give it a chance or just don't bother getting it.

It takes a little bit more than the ability to talk to rap like Snoop. Try rapping along with some of his older stuff with Dre. A decent sense of rhythm is a must, and then you have to make it sound good. I don't think rapping is singing, but you can't phone it in either. You have to have a little skill to sound good.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Chavs and gangsters won't touch Rock Band! It's for FUCKING MOSHERS, INNIT!

(That was my uncanny chav impression).

 

[Tarmon'gaidin]

great another reason not too by rockband.

 

[Yog Sothoth]

Don't like Snoop Dogg? Simple, don't download the tracks.... I fail to see how this will hurt anything... they already put out the country pack, so why not rap...?

Granted I won't be spending any M$ points on it....

Well, as much as I would disagree with his trollish tone, I could just as easily say something like that with any musician. That's just trivializing people's talent.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I dont understand what you guys have agaunst rap


But I will agree his songs being on Rock band is stupid ass hell

 

[PhoenixFlame]

Would you people shut the hell up. It's trying to broaden appeal of the game, and it's DLC... you don't have to buy it. I swear to god some people just want to find something to ***** about in games these days. I hate hip-hop\rap music but AT LEAST it's Snoop Dogg and not some shit indy band that's been dug out of no where.

Well, this is hardly serious business to me either, but the genre is just different. Rock and Rap are rarely combined and Snoop Dogg has never been classified as Rock by any means. If a Rap rhythm game by Harmonix/MTV comes out, then sure, go for it, but to shoehorn a rap artist into what is traditionally a rock music game is a bit off, even if it is for greater exposure/expansion/whatever.

It's certainly inevitable, but you wonder how it even might work with songs that don't have as much if any guitar.

This stuff is DLC, certainly, but you wonder if now there are any limits at all to it. I think making a general music game is probably on the horizon.

 

[Vlane]

It wouldn't fit into Rock Band. Hell it is called Rock Band.

I don't care about it because I hate Rock Band though.

 

[ExistentialCrisis]

Going to have to start saving up for the turntable accessory(?)

Also, I really think Snoop could be featured in a video game if he tried. Proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXzg0D-cKds

:O

Laughs aside, this does present an identity crisis for the plastic-instrument-game genre. So far as I can recall they have mostly been identified by rock music with a few outliers like that Wii maraca game, Donkey Konga, and singalong games. I wonder what other genres will elbow their way into Rock Band next? The Dixie Chicks?

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

I at least like the fact that they are broadening their audience, but yeah I don't know about this, it could have been someone other than Snoop, maybe The Roots, or some rap band or rapper that involves guitars in their music.

The first of many attempts at MTV whoring the licence.
