Kevin Liles Talks ‘Def Jam Rapstar’
(The Root) — When the holiday season comes, don’t be surprised to see the Def Jam Rapstar (Def Jam Interactive/4mm Games) video game at the top of a lot of people’s Christmas lists, even those of the adults. Part Guitar Hero, part Rock Band, part karaoke, Def Jam Rapstar is one of the most interactive music video games on the market. Players get to rap along with more than 40 hip-hop tunes (more songs can be added), spanning the history of the genre. From Biz Markie’s “Just a Friend” to Drake’s “Best I Ever Had,” Def Jam Rapstar includes new and old classics to rap along to while the original videos play on the screen. The game then scores each player’s rhyme-along accuracy. Players can also videotape their performance and self-edit the clip as well as create original songs to beats produced exclusively for Rapstar by famed hip-hop producers such as Just Blaze and 9th Wonder.
