So we all know how hard “Needle” bangs in CvS1.

I learned this thanks to following @Retro_Ko on twitter (who posts here but I don't remember under which handle) who retweeted the following:

Honestly, I like it a lot better in "Needle", I like the phrasing better.

@antillese#19511 lol, yeah I wrote a whole thing about that sample in another thread in this forum.

see: https://forums.insertcredit.com/d/9-lets-share-some-game-music/210

too bad most ppl haven't played or even heard of EZ2DJ, which is where I'm most familiar with the sample.

@p3ters#19521 Sorry I missed your other post! Fantastic detective work on your end!!

While not necessarily raps I‘ve been listening to Frank Ocean’s Blond once again and truly is there anything better

I wish there were a way to easily turn all the youtube videos in a thread into an updating playlist so I could just listen to it all and then pop back in when something piques my interest!! That'd rule.

Anyhoo I love i11evn

here's something probably nobody has heard though:

most of the listens on that are me I think. I love how she flows between english and tswana.

some random good raps for yallz; things that have caught my attention lately:

Iron Wigs is a group of Verbal Kent and two randos... I find myself listening to everything Verbal Kent puts out, he is real good, but this song in particular has one of the most clever lines I've heard in while: "I've aged very well like the cast of the Simpsons"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEvuT1fYBG0

I've no idea who Dopplegangaz are... nowadays I just discover music by listening to random shit, but this album was actually real good and I wanna hear more. I was ready to share this song as another gaming reference later becoz I swore dude said "Shin Megami" in his verse, but on second listen he actually said Shinigami lol

I've never actually sat down and listened to Jurassic 5... my life is so hiphop that I always just consumed them via osmosis wherever I went, even saw them in concert too. For the most part I got the gist of them and never felt it necessary to give more attention to them, but this song randomly came on spotify and it's awesome!!!!

here's a Uganda-based Kenyan rap lady i like

DJ Rectangle Rollin Deep is my favorite of his collection of 90's hiphop mixes.

oh mans, I just found this… maybe the most random game reference in a rap lyric by far:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMT8WbKYz9I

Streetlife: "Loungin by the seashore, switch like Bloody Roar"

@p3ters#21803 Whoooa lol I remember that line! I actually owned this CD at one point in time. Crazy nostalgia.
