I told you Chinatown Wars looked dope. Now if only we can get a trailer with some more gameplay. Apparently, the Ghostface song in the trailer also features MF Doom and is produced by Oh No. Rockstar needs to start a music label stat.
Seriously rivalled only by the infamous “thugginest” interview with NORE (we’ve linked to this twice already, but it never gets old.) HipHopGame’s latest interview with two–time Beat Drop honouree Alchemist is about a week old, but it’s so damn entertaining that I’m posting it anyway. Alc drops knowledge on getting weed delivered to your room, making beats with pots and pans and the greatness of matzo brie.
Here’s a selection of some of the best parts. On producing:
HHG: Can you take us through the making of an Alchemist beat?
A: Usually I turn the lights down and I’ll put on a record. First I usually stand on my head and I get the blood rushing into my brain because it gets the ideas rushing more. So I’ll stand on my head and I’ll wait for something to catch me on the record or my face is so purple that I have to stand up. It’s good. It’s almost like a high. I’ll find a sound and I’ll go from there. I pretty much just zone out and there really isn’t any method to the madness. I’ll find drum sounds anywhere. I’ll bang pots and pans into the microphone or smash metal cans. I can make my kicks. How did I make a kick? Oh yeah, I remember, I made a kick by turning the record player up really loud and just banging on the turntable and you get an 808 sound. It’s pretty fresh. I stole it from watching Numark on stage with Jurassic 5. I’ll make the kicks myself. It’s pretty much just acting like a complete asshole.
It’s here. I am floored, and I need more. “Toyota Cam’Ron!” hooks up with The Real to lend a helping hand by answering some pressing questions from people’s complex lives.
No, I’m not posting a trailer for a Vin Diesel movie. Games based on movies are notoriously bad, but the game that accompanied the 2004 movie The Chronicles of Riddick was surprisingly good and was actually better received than the movie itself. Assault on Dark Athena is a sequel to the game. A guy from Starbreeze demoed the game for me at Comic Con and it was one of the most impressive games I saw at the show. There are a lot of action movies that seem as if they would be better off as games (300 for example).
