Vin Diesel as Xander Cage, xXx: "start thinking Playstation! Blow shit up!"

Black Sliver on the Analog Brothers track "Analog Technics": "we choose to play Sega Saturn at the round table of the time travelling Rolls Royce"

Snoop Dogg on the 213 track "Joystick": "it's like Xbox or EA Sports, it's in the game"

Michael Fassbender is apparently the lead in the Assassin's Creed movie and doesn't even own a "video game player" -- he doesn't rap himself, but I would like to voice my support for Coolio on the soundtrack

There's this line I really love: "I play games by Capcom, with a Power Glove strapped on; on any platform I don't spend my dough on Phat Farm"

The idea of throwing clothes money away on games is something I'm all-too-familiar with :fbm

"Del: To anyone who knew me better
Know I chose Saturn first Cause it's 2-D heaven
Bernie Stolar dropped the ball with the RAM cartridge
X-men Vs. Streetfighter could've expanded the market"

WHAT THE FUCK I CANT BELIEVE THATS A REAL LYRIC

I came in to post that Eiffel 65 song and Del, I'm very happy they were already represented.

Now here's Kool G Rap on a song sampling FF7:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjS0d5OxrZs

is that a real song? it sounds like one of those weird mash up you would find on youtube

anyway here on italy we have an entire song dedicated to the commodore 64 which was written on 2004

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNC0EYRZvpU

the whole gist of the song is how amazing the commodore 64 was and how it's better than the pc and yes,even the playstation... you know the song speak the truth :heh

translated lyrics

Quote
Year of publication : 1982
Memory: 64kb
Rom: 20kb
Microprocessor: 6510 Hertz
Colours: 16
Resolution: 320 x 200
Keyboard: Type writer
Sound: nine octaves
He did not have any super processors
Only 16 colors
The parent's didn't understand it
The teachers advised against it
you connected it and waited hours and hours
loading games from the recorder
The graphic lacked definition
But it was substituted by imagination
Your teenage years with only a joystick
But no scooter go faster than that bmx
The Commodore 64 breaks the ass of pc
The Commodore 64 is more than xp or osx
With the Commodore 64 now play the gods
And the Commodore 64 fucked also the play
Yes, even the play
He seemed not to be able to do anything
With 39 kbytes for the user
Instead they have made ​​millions
Shooting, adventure , platforming and simulations
A single sound chip
But you could also play it
And shortly before his death
it also began to talk
The Commodore 64 breaks the ass of pc
The Commodore 64 is more than xp or osx
With the Commodore 64 now play the gods
And the Commodore 64 fucked also the play
Yes, even the play

here's a really fucking old comedy show that i used to watch (i think something like 1997?) where tomb raider get parodied,it's actualy a whole series and it's mostly about lara trying to explain the control at the player like in the tutorial while the player just screw around and crash her everywhere which often result in lara facing the screen and asking "do you have banana finger or what?"

and here's another song where a lot of videogame get mentioned

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCzFtdZpMu8

lyrics

Quote
if you think i can change the world you are wrong big time,it's already enough if i change my underwear
i just want to give you an headache until you jump into the air like a stunt man
did you think i shoot balls? (shooting balls = lying a lot) bravo! i am the dragon of puzzle bobble,like crash i like to break boxes (breaking boxes = being a bother) but i risk getting beaten up worse than double dragon
perhaps this is why there is always some bloggher that would run me like frogger,i will flat his tires and then bye bye,at best he can do me a sega megadrive (sega = fellatio),you won't see me saving a single lemming,nor stand here and make mold like flemming

CHORUS: i want to go to the next level,i want to give life to what i write
i'm paranoid and obsessive until the abjuration of me,i go at a next level to give life to what i write
i'm paranoid and obsessive until the abjuration of me

i do politics even when i breath,i don't write music playing guitar hero,these argument make me feel alive in the midst of too many zombie of resident evil
i'm no star,i clam up (a way to say clam up is "closing yourself like an hedgehog) like sonic,until i lose the armor like in ghost'n goblins
i show myself naked,i don't hide like snake in metal gear solid,i have 500's amiga right? i do songs not church sermons! i take money with my fist raised like super mario
but i never used them... for making lines (making drugs) like in tetris,the rap scene is controversial,i escape with a jump from prince of persia
i don't play konami olympics,if i detach my hand the shaking stay

CHORUS: i want to go to the next level,i want to give life to what i write
i'm paranoid and obsessive until the abjuration of me,i go at a next level to give life to what i write
i'm paranoid and obsessive until the abjuration of me

i don't come from the street,i'm too nerd,i don't marry that cause,i have too many flirt,i live between the people that with red alert
spend his lifes on cubes like q bert,i saw crazy people summoning old ghost like pac man and dan akroid
i saw tough people solving problem's by rising wall they destroy like i did in arkanoid,not even freud could explain why the night i dream of upgrading my weapon's
why the earth look so evil that by comparison silent hill looks like mouseton
i have to write it if not i'll start swearing,i don't care if you don't think the same,i don't walk on clouds like wonder boy,you think i'm a messiah? it's a problem of yours

CHORUS: i want to go to the next level,i want to give life to what i write
i'm paranoid and obsessive until the abjuration of me,i go at a next level to give life to what i write
i'm paranoid and obsessive until the abjuration of me

I gotta get Xenogears, that's the type of game that relieves my fears
Get it from overseas to here

They got me liking imports

Another Power Glove reference:

Wu-Tang was pretty mindblowing for me as a teen. I was always under the impression that my gaming hobby was "uncool", and to hear some hardcore rappers that all the wiggers at my HS loved make all these game references in their songs was crazy...
