First of this game became a instant classic for me. As a video gamer,hip hop lover and rapper this game & the series instantly appealed to me. It fuses great music along with great gameplay. First I'll like to start with the story mode it was very cinematic. I love the rags to riches story how you first start as an unknown nobody. But in the right place at the right time. Started of defending the right hand man of a hip hop mogul/legend. Carver you successfully defend yourself against Big Herc catching the eye of Mr. Carver how then takes you under his wing. First giving you a place to stay & some cash in your pocket. Doing little tasks for Mr. Carver (fighting). He begans to trust you enlisting you to manage his artist Ludacris. The game teaches you about money managing the ins & outs of the music industry. Focusing on radio play, music videos, tours, public relations, and other expenses for the artists. Back to the story mode you began managing Ludacris following the music charts you began earning vast amounts of cash and what money comes the power & the ladies. I loved the lists of models that where in the game. Okay so you began earning cash now you have to bring in more artist. I'm guessing depending on how you set up your character. The different artists you can pick to come to your label. After establishing yourself Mr.Carver thoses you a party. You meet Anthony Anderson the head of the rival label. Anderson trys to pursuade you to his label. Being loyal to Carver you stay with him. Though shake up with in the label you eventually become the right hand to Carver. Now you run into a crooked cop who is hell bent on taking you down. You also meet a female character who you have known from the past. To wrap this up Carver & Anderson are murdered and you are framed for both. While on the run you meet up with series regular Method Man. Who helps you to find out what really happened with the murders. Meeting Def Jam founder Russell Simmons who gives you the much needed insight. Behind the murders finding out that the crooked cop & your girlfriend where the masterminds. You have plastic surgery from being shot in the face by the same cop (sorry for leaving that out). With a new face you begin to try to get close to the head of the newly formed label. So you & Method Man finally getting close to the new label head your ex. So fight insudes with the crooked copy you beat him he kills your ex he dies game ends. Fast Forward almost five years later I'm still waiting on a new one
My favorite rappers in the game that i would like to see return & new ones if another game is made
