    While there could be some more old school songs for the mix, the songlist as a whole is an excellent cross spectrum. You have to start somewhere, and these are already some of the most fun to learn rap songs out there. Holler!

    A barely-average game. The karaoke aspect isn't bad until you realize you can trick the system very easily. Nonetheless, the excellent track list helps propel the game a bit to fans of the music.

    The sound-alike performers are okay, but it's a big problem that the interface offers too little guidance and no feedback as to what you're doing wrong - you can't tell if you're ahead or behind. [Holiday 2004, p.92]

    It's not really a game. It's a glorified karaoke machine with a really, really poor interface.

    The game is ok, the game play sucks though, you cant train on it, there is no tutorial that can help you out by explainig when is hte right time to spit, the song list is good i like 65 % of the songs, but there is nothing on the game that makes you look forward to keep on playing it, no unlocked songs on the game, no extra accesories, the only thing that ive found you can unlock is some characters and a harder difficulty over all the game is ok if you like hip hop, but i dont recomend it to somebudy that cant read less than 3 words a second the bar flys through the lyrics and you dont even expect it, they give you no heads up. The only thing i can tell you is to try out out first get somebody to buy it some buddy as stupid as me that is willing to spend up to 65 dollars on the game, try it out maybe you'll like it more than i did........ … Expand
