hellbound is a nice track!  not a big em fan but it's nice how they flipped that soul calibur sample.

Not a sample, but a song on Liquid Swords has line like "I'll break your back like big Jack from Tekken."

And not a hip hop song, but Caural's song "Some Day They'll Make a Videogame out of Killing People Like You" has a fucking amazing sample from Metroid 1. 


...so yeah, I'm off topic...

Awesome thread, I love trainspotting stuff like this. I still think "We G's" is my favorite rap song that uses a game sample.
