Def Jam: Rapstar was released last week—and ever since, we've been stuck in the lab cooking up console heaters. Actually, we've been going to ghostwriters, getting feedback on old Jackin'4Beats forums, and watching the part of Eminem's 60 Minutes interview where he rhymes "orange" with "door hinge" and "Geor...ge." Still, it might just be easier to work up an appetite for Rapstar by traveling through the archives of gaming's greatest in-game raps. It's not just rappers sampling games—rapping in games goes way back, from Parappa the Rapper to Gears of War and plenty in between. Get up on your history, sonny; we'd join you, but we have to go keep it real in message boards and whatnot.
