Description

You grab the mic and as you rush onstage, the crowd erupts with a roar, the lights go up and the beat drops — you're a Rapstar.Def Jam Rapstar gives players the opportunity to experience the essence of what hip-hop is — the music, the battles and the swagger. Focusing exclusively on hip-hop, Def Jam Rapstar gives players the chance to become the star by rhyming, creating videos and sharing them with the world.

Ok, so i was like a kid FOR REAL on Xmas when Santa got me this...and I'm 35. I put the game in, and instantly within 10 seconds was bobbin' my head as "A Milli" and snippets from many other tracks played in the intro. I went to Party Mode and for Nothin' But A G' Thing and set on Medium difficulty, and busted out this classic. Timing, pitch(on singing parts) are graded and the real/original plays on screen. IT IS A BLAST. Only slight negative is that it plays EDITED versions of all songs, u CANT CHANGE THAT. But I cant play it enough. My girlfriend had a blast too! My 7 yr old even picked up a mic to sing Rhinna's part on TI's Live Your Life. BUY THIS THING...instant party on your WII/PS3/XBox

I wish there was more on here, but I'm having fun. I know I look crazy, but I'm surprising myself. Good game. Fun to play with others. LOL.
