Gangstarap theme

[KeNrosenberG]

This is racist as f*ck. I mean this post.

You guys should be ashamed. I would call Niko a gangster, infact he is more gangster then CJ.

 

Wait a sec, I'ma pop up my Itunes for Rockstar Games. Hip Hop secction.

 

South Central Cartel - It Don't Stop

Black Milk - Sound The Alarm

Dead Prez - Propoganda (THIS DEFINTLEY NEEDS TO BE ON THERE)

Z-Ro - I hate you bitch (well, maybe R&B)

Bone Thugs N Harmony - Flow Motion (Strength & Loyalty version)

DJAY (Terrance Howard - Hustle & FLow) - Whoop Dat Trick (Yes, it was a film, but this was a sick song none the less, the beat was crazy!! Use the album version, 100% bass)

Dead Prez - Hip Hop

Royce Da 5'9 - Take His Life

Killah Priest - One Step

Big L - Freestyle 98 (This is old and well known, but it is funny as f*ck!! If not this song, atleast M.V.P., Put It On, Rap Fall Back, you know, one of the classics)

C.R.E.A.M. - Wu-Tang (You need to put this in)

I Gotcha Back - GZA (Some real sh*t)

Tru Life - New New York (PUT IT ON!! THIS IS A GREAT NEW YORK SONG)

Big Proof - Clap With Me/Kurt Kobain (You will be disrespecting the memory of Big Proof, deceased Detriot rapper)

Biggie Smalls - 1970 Somethin' (It was on the Duets, don't worry, it ain't too old and not too many people bought the Duets album)

Masta Ace - Good Ol' Love (He's good, if you think his rhymes were too simple, you could always find a different song, he can rhyme good with bigger words)

Lupe Fiasco - Sunshine (, it'll show there are more songs then about hatred)

Nas - Life's A Bitch ()

Capone N Noreaga - Invincible (DON'T GIVE A f*ck WHAT YOU SAY, PUT THIS MOTHERf*ckER ON THERE!)

Capone N Noreaga - Illegal Life (DON'T GIVE A f*ck WHAT YOU SAY, PUT THIS MOTHERf*ckER ON THERE!)

 

 

 

Yeah, I think this may be enough.

[Slamman]

For a counter argument, let's see just a rock or alternative list that Niko might go for! I think it wasn't meant to jump on a trendy bandwagon but it was stated that the Russian singer is very popular... Maybe it should have been David Hasselhoff as he's a major artist outside the US

haha

[Toni Antonio Cipriani]

i actually like the way Russian rap sounds...probably because its confusing to me...

Yeah. Russian Rap rocks!

[Southside Dukes Ballas]

rap is prominent and is one of the most popular music genres out .

 

Not for long :]

 

2005-2006 Rap Album Sales Take Nosedive-Article

 

Anyway, on the topic at hand, Personally i like old school rap, anything post 1999ish is garbage. But like many have said before, i like Rock more, as well as a variety of other types of music. The song they used fit that trailer perfect, just because the trailer has a song you might not like, doesn't mean that the whole game is going to be themed around that.

Who buys cd's anymore?? lol

really. like 65% of people that listen to rap nowadays download it. The only music still selling is R&B, pop, country and some Rock.

 

And to Kenrosenberg or who ever said people don't say let's go to the hood and sh*t like that aren't nowhere near the hood. Now I don't live in the hood but at points I did since I lived all over NY. I currently live in Newark and that has its dangerous places as well but people do say sh*t like lets hit the hood and if you say they don't we can easily tell you just a internet thug.

 

Now nobody says that gangsta sh*t unless they jokin around or saying it in a rap or something but gangsta is more of a lifestyle instead of some dumb ass word anyways.

[BigBoyTraks]

Yeah I don't really like rap (Some is alright), but others do.

 

I also don't think it will have a "ganster" theme. Niko is the last person in the GTA world that I would call a "ganster". I'm talking about a CJ type gangster, as I know persons in organized crime such as the Mafia, or Yakuza can still fall under the same banner. Though I prefer "mobster".

 

The theme will be alot like GTA III's modern, and gritty theme.

Niko not a gangster?? Are you serious.

 

What hell do you call "I killed people and smuggled people". Thats some gangster sh*t.

 

 

Gangster has nothing to do with rap period. Gangster came from MOB days. Rap culture for some dumbass reason was so impressed with the lifestyle of Tony Montana and all this mob sh*t they took the term. Most of these rap artist are full of sh*t.

Lets hit the hood? I'm an internet thug. f*ck you, when did I approach myself as a thug? You f*cking prick!!!

 

Lets hit the hood. That's gay. I've never heard any of my friends say bullsh*t like that, f*ck you.

 

 

------ Hahaha, they think they badderman.

No rappers didn't just come up with gangsta because they liked Tony Montana you dumb f*ck. The Supreme Team, DEBO, Pappy Mason, Chaz, Sea God etc. were all real NY gangsta so to speak and they weren't influenced by no f*cking fictional gangsters from movies.

 

Gangsta is a lifestyle the same way as being a gangster is. The only wrd to describe a gangbanger, drug dealer, mafioso etc. is a criminal.

 

And to Kenrosenberg you rally seem like a e-thug to me. Talking trash on the computer and getting emo like a bitch describes a e-thug. And as I said you more than likely live in the suburbs and try to act like you know hood sh*t when you get all your info from movies, the computer, games and music.

I think I just vomited.

Did you catch a glance of yourself in the mirror?

That sounds like something a 10 year old would say.

[DreamsLieHere]

Come on, does rap music make Niko gangster?

Does 1 rap song change a whole game?

NO.

and gangsters do not have to rap to become true "gangsters"

[TheDude5000]

Well that list looks like something a 10 year old would listen to, so it's not much of a suprise.

 

Thankfully the lame ass rap thing won't dominate this game. I also think they'll use Trailer 2 for the TV Spots, since the song in that one is just so much better.

[BigBoyTraks]

Southside Dukes Ballas:

Shut the f*ck up. They were to influenced by alot of original gangsters fictional or real. Um... lets see. The rapper named

 

SCARFACE wasn't there a movie called "Scarface". If he wasn't influenced by that where did he get the name DUMBASS. Ever watch MTV cribs. Almost every damn rapper has scarface in there house.

 

Half of these rappers are full of sh*t. Can you point out one rapper that actually shot somebody or actually murdered somebody. Or actually has a real rap sheet. No you can't most of these dudes aren't even in the hood any more stupid. It's called Entertainment genuis. It's not real.

 

Real Gangsters don't rap about it. They actually do it!!!

T.I got arrested for tryin to buy 20,000 dollars worth of guns, does that count?

 

But i wont lie most of these rappers are fake. Maybe some of em sold a little somethin, but thats about it. I think its only a few that really did do some of the stuff that they are rappin about.

[TheDude5000]

Ice-T is the only one I don't have anything against, he's alright. Got a metal band, and he did a good job on Law & Order and those early 90's movies, and of course, San Andreas.

Let's see. 50 Cent, Max Bizel, Stak Bundles(RIP), Prodigy( going to prison in Janurary), Saigon, ODB(RIP), Jay Z, Bang Em Smurf( in prison), Big Fase 100, Tony Yayo, Ghostface, Scarfcae is a known snitch, Z-Ro, Pimp C( RIP). I mean I could keep going and wehter or not a dumb ass like you likes it or not all of the above mentioned have served jail time or have previous criminal charges before they started rapping or during their tenure at rap.

[ryuclan]

I could really care less what the game is centered on. I mean, I live in the hood, n****s get shot at da club down the street almost everyday. My guy got robbed last year for like $3 by some crackhead. Anyway...Niko is a gangster in every meaning of the word. He already has a seedy past. He down to do whatever it takes to help his brother out and he gotta accent that makes you wonder how many people he's killed. Don't worry about the overall theme of the game, worry about the overall gameplay, and plot. Also, don't worry about rap, rap does what it does and we dont need your oppinion on what's wrong wit it. ya dig?

Nope Ti doesn't count. Thats why rapper Beanie Siegal called him out about that gun sh*t alot of these dudes wanna seem tough but its all a smoke screen.

[Slamman]

I don't know one of those songs or artists, and I don't download my music either, I do support the artist the old fashioned way. I think the selections we heard of old school hip hop and rap in SanAn pretty much cover the basis... They also threw in two songs from legend James Brown and you have to admit, that turned out to be a great way for him to be honored in passing!

None of those guys have murdered anyone STUPID. Yeah it is actual few he served time only for DRUG CHARGES. Not murder which half of them rap about. Pimp C actually went to jail for not paying child support dumbass get your facts straight. Rapper Prodigy admitted on a radio station that everytime he went to jail it was for petty sh*t. The reason he is in jail now because he had a gun under his seat. He said he kept it there to protect his family. Get your facts straight. Do you actually know these people or are you goin of what you read??

 

I mean you actually believe everything you read don't you?? LOL How old are you anyway your so gulliable its sad. It's entertainment man it's not real. Rapper pro

Yes there was a movie called Scarface. That moive was also inspired by a real "gangster" from the 30s-40s Al "Scarface" Capone.

Rap was not started by Gangsters.

Rap was started by Ebonic people. In the 1990's people like Dr. Dre popularized the "Ghetto Lifestyle", hence "Gangsta' Rap".

In essence, it's their culture. If not for these racist people like you, they would not be criminals or live in ghettos in the first place!

Besides, Rap is so popular that everyone of us, one way or another, has learnt to talk speak and act like a black.

It's COOL, don't you get it? Are you racist? Do you hate blacks? If so, why? Do you have problems with Black Music?

DO YOU? DO YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH RUSSIAN MUSIC TOO? Do you hate English? Do you hate Rhymes?

 

Do you hate Shakespeare too? DO YOU HATE POEMS?

 

TELL ME! WHY ARE YOU SO RACIST?! WHY?! THE BLACK PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INSULTED ENOUGH BY PRICKS LIKE YOU.

 

IF YOU'RE BLACK, SORRY. THEN, YOU'RE A TRAITOR TO YOUR OWN RACE. Go learn some manners, then come back on here.

 

Racism is not to be tolerated in my country. People like you would most probably be ssen as a thorn in the flesh. Stop this Racism sh*t, Im begging you.

 

PLEASE LOCK THIS TOPIC.

Rockstar: "The track is called King Ring by Serjoga. He's the most popular rap artist in Russia by far, and we chose it partly because we felt it captured the spirit of the game - Russian dance rap maybe epitomizes the melting pot mentality of Liberty City - but mostly because we felt the track gave the trailer a unique feeling and energy. The soundtrack (and the radio it is played on) has been expanded and developed for Grand Theft Auto's high-definition debut."

Rappers I like include Ice T and Snoop Dogg... They brought something unique to it, Ice T transitioned better then anyone into acting but he lived a hard life growing up and was even a pimp if memory serves.

[Algonquin Assassin]

 

Niko not a gangster?? Are you serious.

 

What hell do you call "I killed people and smuggled people".  Thats some gangster sh*t.

Sorry. I should've worded it better.

 

Niko is a "gangster", but not a "gangsta". By that I mean the ones that use the N-word 10 times in every sentence, and have drive bys, and the "hood" running through their veins.

 

Though the term is thrown around alot these days.

Just shut yo bitch ass up. We don't know what they did or didn't do for the simple fact that it would be stupid to saY what they do. 50 got shot 9 times and if you grew up where I grew up you would know about most pf them cats. Now yes they rap about killing and sh*t but if they actually said who they killed they'd be telling on themselves you dumbf*ck so why would they tell the whole truth? For all we know they probably did murder people but they won't let it go public. Just lime a mafioso or any other criminal. They won't say sh*t about what they really do because that'll be the downfall of them.

 

Not to mention you dumbsiht you said how many of them had real rap sheets and every one of them I listed have rap sheets wehter it's small or not. They don't have f*cking misdamenours they have f*cking felons you dumbsh*t.

 

Oh and I forgot you don't get 4 years for child support you dummy. He got 4 years for assult STUPID.
