They're everywhere! Seems like every time I turn on the television I hear another reference to a game, console, or character. Here are a handful of my favorites:
(They may not have things right and you're probably going to notice).
Video games have been referenced in the media as long as they've been around. Recently I've noticed a trend with referencing video games in music, especially hip-hop. There is a gaming/hip-hop culture mash that has been going on for years. I'm thinking it's just easier to rhyme with Xbox then to sing about it.
Here are some of my favorites:
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (featuring Fences)
Album: VS. Redux EP Song: Otherside Release: 2010
Despite how Lil Wayne lives It's not conducive to being creative And I know 'cause he's my favorite And I know 'cause I was off that same mix Rationalize the shit that I'd try after I listen to dedication But he's an alien, I'd sip that shit, pass out or play Playstation
House of Pain
Album: House of Pain Song: Jump Around Release: 1992
I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
I never eat a pig cause a pig is a cop
Or better yet a terminator
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger
Try'n to play me out like as if my name was Sega
Chamillionaire (featuring Krayzie Bone)
Album: The Sound of Revenge Song: Ridin' Release: 2005
N****'s see if they can see me lean I'm tint so it ain't easy to be seen
For me to see me ride by They can see the gleam
And my shine on the deck and TV screen
Riding with a new chick she like hold up
Next to the PlayStation controlla'
*It's not a PlayStation Controller*
Cee Lo Green
Album: The Lady Killer Song: Forget You Release: 2010
Yeah I'm sorry, I can't afford a Ferrari,
But that don't mean I can't get you there.
I guess he's an Xbox and I'm more Atari,
But the way you play your game ain't fair.
Atmosphere
Album: Seven's Travels Song: Trying to Find a Balance Release: 2003
Doesn't take much and that's messed up
Because these people do a lot of simple s*** to impress us
While everyone was trying to out-do the last man
I was just a ghost trying to catch some Mrs. Pac-Man
B.o.B. (featuring Bruno Mars)
Album: B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray
Song: Nothin' on You Release: 2010
I’ve been to London, I’ve been to Paris even went out there to Tokyo
back home down in Georgia to New Orleans
but you always still to show (still to show)
and just like that girl you got me fro (got me fro)
like a Nintendo 64 (64)
if you never knew well now you know (know, know, know)
