Topic title says it all.
Why are Racing games associated w/ Rap?
Reason for the question....Well I was playing the NFS Shift demo and all I heard was Rap no Rock, Metal, ect.

Edit: Forgot to say this is my first blog post.

because it's all yo, yo, pimp my ride biznatch and shit like that

EA Trax is pretty shit anyway, just put your own music in

Maybe it's just the NFS series. I don't remember any 'rap' on Mariokart.

Yeh there are rap in Midnight Club. NFS. Almost every realistic racing game I could think off. What about burnout?

Doesn't NFS normally have stuff like Pendulum ect.

' ITZ COZ RAPZ IZ DA BESTZ '

Well it's probably just the times. I mean rap has gained a surge in popularity amongst the kiddies these days (for example my little brother only listens to that kind of junk, bloody bastard). So to fit in with those young ones they put that kind of shit in.

Yeah, Burnout and Gran Turismo weren't overburdened with rap. Which is a good thing.

Well not Burnout because it's all good.

I hate rap, but unfortunately that music is a good fit with sports related games. Beacuse there's dialogue type 'singing' rather than riffs/drum solos, you almost get a feel of commentary...dunno, I could just be spinnin' shit.

Here's an idea: Kylie Minogue's "Spinning Around" - well, that's me on the racing track, pretty much

the music in legends was good imo

It's because Rap music makes you feel like an OG as you sit in your underwear, eat nachos and drink soda/beer while pretending your some badass race driver
