some rap?

[ktulu]

i'm sure i'm gonna offend all the rap-haters out there, but i wouldn't mind a few vocal-only rap songs. its an interesting concept, but i think a lot of people would like it...

[Admiralwiggin]

No, sir i think you missed the concept of ROCK and BAND

[ktulu]

so? no reason there can't be other music styles on there. it not band exclusive anyway, even so, there are rap bands.

[kumu]

most of them aren't into rap bands =(

[Jixzer]

Well, I live in San Antonio where 65+% of the population is Hispanic...so I'm going to give you my answer in the local language...Spanish.

"No"

[Rock_Starman]

Run DMC or Cypress Hill would work. Actually King of Rock was in Amplitude.

[dc2bar]

I think maybe a rap/rock hybrid would work out, something along the lines of linkin park, that would be epic!

[Mr_Bucket]

It is called Rock Band, not Music or Rap Band... the only Rap I will take though is Run DMC Aerosmith walk this way, or LP JZ

[FucUEse]

As much as I would like to see some rap stuff... like the other guy said... this is ROCK BAND not RAP GROUP... I would love to buy a rap style game... since I pretty much lost interest in Rock music after all the great bands of the 90's slowly died away... I just wish they would release a Karaoke Revolution style game for the 360... I just wanted Rock Band for the mic... though the drums are very fun... the guitar and bass is nowhere as fun as Guitar Hero...

[Doomsayer]

If I wanted rap in rockband I would by rapsolocareerartist for nonexistantgameconsol. I dont like rap and rock mixed I hate rap actually. Rockband with rap would defeat the purpose. They already have def jam for things like that >_> rap just isnt really music. Its speaking into a mic not singing. Anyone can ryme about weed and "hoes" and "living a tough life as a pimp" id rather listen to real talent found in rock. >_> rap just sounds the same and is really annoying take for example "souja boy" they cant even ANNOUNCIATE THEIR WORDS!!!! >_> ooooo superman that "hoe" no wait. spiderman that "hoe". Next we'll have batman that *****. Aquaman that ass. Greenlantern that money. >_> I really see where we're headed here. Next comic superhero will be someone like half a dollar. He's bullet proof right? Shot nine times and he still aint dead. Sorry I want a game that features music by someone like Dave Mustaine. Yeah. Metal rocks. Rap just kinda repeats itself pointlessly.

[polishdog90]

Im sorry but Beastie Boys are the closest thing to rap your going to get on Rock Band. Beastie boys were a punk band before they rapped though.

[chomorro]

Run DMC/Aerosmith - Walk This Way
Jay Z/Linkin Park - "Collision Course"
Public Enemy/Anthrax - Bring Tha' Noise

Who says you can't have both?

[Bryan Atomic]

Depends..

If you add rap groups to the set list, you would have to sell a "mixer" station that would play all the instraments for you and allow you to talk over the beat the computer makes for you, since you wouldnt know how to play a single instrament. That would be the only way to properly simulate a rap group.

if you arnt willing to do that, then no, this is Rock Band not Rap Group.

[Rock_Starman]

King of ROCK - Run DMC
ROCK Superstar - Cypress Hill
ROCKstar - N.E.R.D

and there's the rap pack.

[JohnDoe22]

they def, need some rap/rock...bottom line is rap has better lyrics so using the mic would be a lot more fun, to most men.
WE DEF NEED MORE BEASTIES!!!!
Beasties-Licensed to Ill album!!!!!
RUN DMC!
CYPRESS HILL!
Linkin Park Jay-z.....if there's some sounds that they make on a keyboard or something for linkin park they can either do that for you or let you use the button pad on the drums.

[Elnino]

They can put rap in as long as it's DLC, and everybody I play with online isn't alowwed to play it.

[JohnDoe22]

i'm sorry though man i love rap/hip-hop, more then i do rock, but you can not put a biggie song in rock band and have it a vocal only, thats just stupid. But i know the guys at hmx wouldn't do that anyway.
HOPEFULLY SOME RAP ROCK THOUGH!!!

[lost]

what is rap? i thought Rock was the only music in existence

[Julio_No_Mas]

No, sir i think you missed the concept of ROCK and BAND

Stupid argument. Sabotage made it in.

Rappers Delight! That would be fun as hell.

ok now budday.. let it all out.

[the_spike]

I'm all for it as long as it's not current rap.

[ktulu]

heres something to piss everyone off:

limp bizkit

[MJDoja]

or better.. rock remixes of popular and classic rap tracks with all of our favorite rockers featured on the instruments!

[A_Perfect_TOOL]

I'll agree that this is 'Rock' Band, but there are some rap songs that rock and use actual instruments and not just turntables and looped beats. The Roots have some decent songs that would work, and some of Anthrax's rap-esque songs would be perfect. I'm not a fan of Linkin Park, but the Jay Z team up tracks make em a little more interesting. Or even the Jay Z unplugged album.

[mind_in_rewind]

Bring the Noise - Anthrax and Public Enemy

Hell yeah.

[ktulu]

yeah


Bring the Noise - Anthrax and Public Enemy

Hell yeah.

while were on anthrax

I"M THE MAN

wouldn't work in rock band, too skit-like

[Quinarvy]

If I see anything Soulja Boy, I'd go on a homocidal rampage. Now that thats out of the way...

It would have to be a rap rock like Collision Course, Beastie Boys, etc.

[cyninja3]

dude just got buy your self a ps2 and play singstar and leave us alone if you want rap in a game called "rock band"

[DwayneSox]

Oh man I'd love soulja boi its so ridiculous! Especially the travis barker remix which is ballin.

How bout some Gym Class Heroes?

[Ey3con]

How about some Wu-Tang?

Ya know, this is the most accurate rap argument I have ever heard. If only there were more people who seen rap for the ignorant,talentless filth that it is. I for one agree with every word you said about rap and it has no place in this game or the music industry IMO. I wish people would quit trying to infest a potentially good game with their "pimp, hoe, gangsta" music.

[DwayneSox]

Different strokes man I personally think the beatles nirvana and zeppelin are hugely overrated and not enjoyable IMHO but Soulja Boi is just a feel good hit

[Evan_Dood]

Run DMC or Cypress Hill would work. Actually King of Rock was in Amplitude.

I couldn't agree more.

Run DMC would be great for Rock Band.

They're the only Rap group I like, because of how many Rock elements they have in them xD








And Soulja Boy is incredibly annoying.

Thank God songs like that only last for about 5 months.

You know, like "Party Like A Rock Star", "Laffy Taffy", and stuff like that?

It has the possibility of being a feel good hit, if the people who REALLY thought it was a feel good hit didn't bump into/rub against/shake their asses at the people who thought it was alright.

That's the only reason it annoys me--The way people react when they hear it.

[shock]

Crank That-Travis Barker Remix would be cool, just because some of you guys are all about Metal and love your Led Zepplin doesnt mean that some of us cant dream to play the drums on Rock Band to Crank That.

Also Bring the Noise with Anthrax would be kick ass to play.

[Quinarvy]

Oh man I'd love soulja boi its so ridiculous! Especially the travis barker remix which is ballin.

:| The Travis Barker Remix made it 1/100th more bearable...but god its horrible, and I hate it (long story involving my school marching band, homecoming half time show, and many many many rap lovers, pm if you want the story)
