Snoop sparks up season two of HHGL

interesting....

Real hip hop is alive but if your watching mtv i dont think your gonna find it there. I was just listening to lupe's cd its a classic and its real hip hop. Zintarr and everyone who says hip hop sucks your nothing but a politician in my eyes....check out my post earlier.

yawn. does anyone care about media-whore Snoop and his average stuff anymore? try some real hip-hop, not monotone 90s G-style.

Maybe if Snoop stops making albums, he'll have more time to play more games. Perhaps, he might even get better games... But, yeah, this is (almost) insulting to real gamers.

cool! Hippity-hop! I love the hippin' and tha hoppin'! "YA DIG"?!

i can't wait to watch it i'm sure it's going to be funny, it's about the games not hip hop opinons stick to the games

Hip hop suck what u guys smoking what will i listen to at football games "linking park" i think not hip hop and rap have great beats. If you don't like it shut-up and don't buy it or listen to it!

I hardly think that one should read a video gaming website for insightful opinions on the state of hip-hop.

Since the mid 1990's Hip Hop has gone to crap.

I used to be huge into rap and such, but really it has changed so much lately and even big guys like Busta Rhymes or Dre are no longer pumping out the hits like they used to. Lately, u nless you have a story to tell like eminem or 50 cent, you get bypassed by the mainstream as being the same as every other rapper out there, and this goes to show its getting stale.

Lets be honest, Hip Hop was once a great art form and had many fantastic artists. Nowadays aside from cool under-grounders such as MF Doom its all uncreative, bragging rubbish. I listen to my old school collection and it still sounds good, I see these lot nowadays, all the videos are the same, the beats are boring and they talk rubbish ! I miss real Hip Hop !

WOW...all these Rap haters. Why? Is it because the Hip-Hop culture has ousted almost everything "Rock" in popular mass culture? I mean...besides My Chemical Romance, Panic At The Disco, Coldplay or whatever other EMO Rock clone is out nowadays...what does Good Ole Rock and Roll have left?? Even True Rock bands like G&R, Korn, RATM and Linkin Park gave props to Hip Hop and understood it's importance in music. "I hate rap talk sooo much...It`s like trying to prove your 2-word vocabulary, bad english and 0 culture when you`re speaking like that."

meh the only contestant i really care about is McGruder. p.s. "Darnell Bing of the Oakland Raiders", correction, Darnell Bing of the USC Trojans dream team ;)....

The puns are right on; what a crock. I suppose it's good for the gaming industry, though, to get more spotlight...

It is true...rap, hip hop, the HHGL and Snoop all suck.

"Now the HHGL is getting passed around for a second time." "This year, the following will be trying to smoke each other for the title.." Someone needs to tell these writers to lay off the bad puns. It's bad enough know-nothing news anchors do it. Anyway...HHGL?! Snoop, just stop. Seriously.

Why does hip-hop and video games have to suffer these kind of media ploys that does no justice to either's image in the face of mainstream america. Although, DJ Hi-Tek, Aaron McGruder, and Lupe Fiasco is a postive note.

Lupe Fiasco and Aaron McGruder? Vash likes!

ragincoley86: "So my question is whats the difference between a politician who attacks video games (which they know nothing about) and a people on this site attacking rap (which they know nothing about)?" Heh, you're going to shut a lot of people up with that quote. xD

The line-up is INSANE! I'm betting Paul Wall will get far, but that's just because he's a fat, white guy :lol: I'm not trying to be racist here, mind you... I think it's a shame so many people can't embrace rap as just a different music genre. I think it's great to see a former drug-dealer make his life so successful! And it's great that I, a 15 year-old Norwegian guy, have EVERY single album he has released on my MP3 player :wink:

BILLNYE6983 Wow you saved me time arguing with ppl and i agree with u on almost everything, except for the race point in the beginning, but maybe thats becuz im naive. As a hip hop lover i always find myself defending it but i never find myself attacking other genre's of music why is that? why cant people just respect other ppl music. Rap isnt the only thing that may have negative influences....try movie, tv, and oh yes VIDEO GAMES. People dont you hate it when someone that knows nothing about video games comes up and says how bad n evil it is. It turns kids into killers and crap like that. Its the same feeling hip hop lovers face on this site n everywhere else. A topic or game might come up( like def jam vendetta) and someone down the line says "RAP SUCKS" and "its all about killing and drugs". WTF look at the type of games we play....gears of war dropped 3 million and that has killing in there if i can remember correctly. GTA has violence, sex and drugs. So my question is whats the difference between a politician who attacks video games (which they know nothing about) and a people on this site attacking rap (which they know nothing about)?

i just got down wit it seem s cool !

i Hate all ****

Is it just me, or did anyone else notice the only games (with one exception) they're playing are sports games? The one exception is Saint's Row... I guess to fit in with that hip hop gangsta thug image they're trying to portray of themselves. What real gamer plays sports games anyway?

Who? Oh, those guys! I remember they did a league last year and then nothing was heard from them anymore. I hate rap talk sooo much...It`s like trying to prove your 2-word vocabulary, bad english and 0 culture when you`re speaking like that. I bet they`re gonna get their @$$ wooped by their gamer fans. :lol:

Fake gamers.

neato

I could see Snoop and Rick Ross playing Ridge Racer 7. lol.

Its great that a murderer who can barely speak proper english can be a bazillionaire and start a gaming league that no one gives a S#@t about.

Thank god this is one of the few games that has Rap. This genre is sooooo gone unless you're 14.

There are a few good rappers participating, but I think they should have picked some better games to play.

This is the funniest thing I have read today. But i had no idea Lil Wayne was good at video games he just doesnt look like a gaming person.

Snoop's game Fear & Respect would of been cool to do if it didn't get cancelled.

I love the picture caption. :lol:

ProjectPat187 "all these haters on snoop dog, I guess they are mad because rock n roll is dead" ...I swear, that is such an ignorant statement..

Does that mean that rappers are casuals? According to their 'setlist', the games are pretty boring. It would be awesome if they'd play 50 cent's game and that ridiculous urban full auto clone....that would make them look even more idiotic. gangsta rappers who take themselves serious are laughable.

Psh. Gamer cred? You must be kidding, right? He has no credibility. He only plays sports games, and last I heard, the rules of football are still the same as they were back in '91, when I first got ahold of a Madden game. Anyone can play football and basketball. The inclusion of Saints Row shines at least a ray of hope. Now, if they were playing Blitz: The League, then maybe we'll talk, but until then, he and his group are just a load of wannabe gaming posers.

Snoop Dogg = loss.

...for his arthritis, lol. Since I stopped smoking, I just don't care about this guys antics anymore.

maaannnnn... not only does the competitive edge seem very appealing, but those are all games I can see myself smashing peeps in and feeling no remorse. Half these mofo's are already rich and living large, and sometimes the best they face are usually thier cronnies tagging along... so if I can get thru the public part and actually face a paid pro... the golden oppertunity to trash talk will be THAT CLOSE!! Viva Las Vegas!!

Rap isn't dead!

Well i know i'll wont get a chance 2 play them but if i did it over. Yea it sounds neat

To ProjectPat187, Rock is dead? You wish. Rap has been dead since, well, forever.

Yea isn't Snoop supposed to be in jail?

Of all the crazy ideas I buy into, professionally play video games is not one. Watching people play games or being paid to play games doesn't peak my interest. The only reasons people like this are 1. It has Snoop Dogg 2. It has various celebrities and 3. It has sponsors To emphasize those reasons; would you watch it if it had 1. Jason Alexander (not the one from Seinfeld) 2. Random people from the Midwest 3. Was on public television (not PBS think more basic than basic cable)

I miss the old days... you know, when we would round up a few heads in the neighborhood and have Street Fighter tourneys....
