How the are you supposed to play a beat made on a synthesiser with guitars and drums? They should've added The Roots if they were going to add a hip-hop group.

This is good, they need to expand to reach a more balanced demographic. I love my Rock Band, but I want some Prince, some Kravitz.  A lot of music generes overlap anyway.  Ice Cube does stuff with the Red Hot Chilipeppers.  But how in the world did somebody get "the naked brothers" into my Rock Band? Seriously....., Nickelodeon?

fo shizzle. this da crapizzle. poop dog? not worth trying to figure out how it would be possible, agree with #2. snoop is not really hip hop(more like rap), like how soulja boy isn't really rap (more like unintelligible crap).

I can understand some groups that blend Rock with Rap and make it work, but Snoop? He's all rap. I don't see how that's going to translate well with A guitar and drums.

 I don't personally care for rap music, but you don't have to download it if you don't want it.  As for me, I'll be sticking right with Rock Band because Guitar Hero isn't half the game--plain and simple.

Who are we to judge?  We're the guys who bought the game and made them all their money, that's who.  This has nothing to do with "advancing the genre," it's about making money.

The crap doesn't belong in the game because it's not called "Hip-Hop Band".  It could work for Guitar Hero because there's nothing implying that Guitar Hero is about rock music.

It would be like having techno in Accordion Hero.

Snoop Dogg is the new frontman for Bang Camaro. They simply decided to adopt his moniker because it is more recognizable.

I hope you guys realize your are not being forced to buy this. Who are you to tell harmonix what they are allowed to do ? If they want to release rap music, then they release rap music. Get over it. If you don't buy it, it doesn't affect you at all.

considering most rappers just use loops from old songs for their beats now it' shouldnt be so hard... you'd just be playing the same 8 notes over and over again though... which would actually make it ridiculously easy.

I didn't even have to actually look at any of the comments to know that this was gonna bring the racist out in every white gamer.

"Oh that sucks! How would you put a artist who raps over BEATS in a RYTHM game!? That's Stupid Right?"

Yes, that's stupid but Ill let you figure out whether Im talking about a comment like that or the concept of the game.

Any body here ever play DJ MAX? How bout Parappa the Rapper? Dance Dance Revolution? See how that "Uh oh black man in it" thought makes the rest of yo thoughts stupid?

I could go on and on about how dumb these comments are but Im sure the next comment under mine will reply something like, "But he's not even a musician, none the less in a band!" or maybe, "They start putting more rappers in this game I'm switch brands!" even the good ol, "you're racist for thinking we're racist!".

So, I think I'll go ask Mr. Bill O'Riley for a second opinion. Toodles yall.

Your wrong 18 I like snoop and I used to listen to his music in the early 90's when it was good now its all retro and crap. I'm from long beach so I listen to all those guys Snoop, Daz, Kurupt, Warren G and right next door The Game and Dre. Anyway, It could be a good thing or it could be horrible I don't own rock band so I don't care either way. Snoop has a nack for knowing whats hot and whats not apprently so it could be good.
