    Time to have some Rap DLC

    ok...I already know this will be an unpopular idea but here it goes anyway. Lets get some good rap music in this game.

    Before you starting screaming and come off as a rock snob, purist or just a subtle racist realize this....

    1. There are already a bunch of songs with rap (Testify, Watcha Want, half of the Chili Peppers DLC) and they are fun.

    2. It could expand the audience of the game.

    3. It could get others who would buy the game for the rap into rock and roll and expand the people who are into rock songs

    4. Expanding genres is NEVER bad...it could push the game further and create a entire larger library of DLC

    5. This game is dying for diversity - The game has white guys rapping, but not Black dudes rocking. Can we have Black dudes doin something in this game.

    6. THere are host of awsome songs that could come from this

    7. How is it going to hurt?

    8. If you just hate rap...well, you dont need to download it.

    Now of course EVERY rap song would not translate to this game...but here a few possible songs

    Anthrax and PE - Bring the Noise
    Run DMc - Rock Box
    RUn DMC - King of Rock
    LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out (live version)
    Cypress Hill - Rap/Rock Superstar
    Nelly - Number One
    Kanye West - All Falls Down
    Limp bizkit - Rollin (ok bad example)

    well you guys get the point

    ...How about no......

    Seriously RAP DLC? Maybe like the classic hip hop songs but still most of them don't include a guitar/drums.

    Edit:

    And race has anything to do with this? Seems a misguided point that only states "why can't black people be included?"

    Public Enemy and RunDMC are probably the best options.
    Not removing this until Oscar-rio gets a sex-change!!

    If by rap, you mean Flobots and mc chris, I agree.
    Rock Band needs Brownie Bottom Sundae and Maxwell Murder to end Bassism.

    The Roots would be awesome.
    Viewer discretion is advised.

    The contents of the above post are likely sarcastic.

    Cypress Hill would be pretty sweet.

    Although i can only see this as a way for Kanye West to creep into my ears even more, and i'm already tired of his shenanigans.

    Either way, Ultimate Setlist Forum buddy.

    I wouldn't mind if they threw in the Run DMC/Steven Tyler version of Walk This Way. Given there's GH Aerosmith, I don't know if they'd be able to get the rights but I think that could be fun.
