Newly formed studio 4mm has just announced its first title, Def Jam Rapstar.

“There are not very many products out there that speak directly to the hip-hop consumer base,” said Def Jam's Lauren Wirtzer.

“More than just a music game, this is a game that really incorporates all of the crucial elements of this lifestyle. It’s not just about music, it’s about swagger.”

It will be interesting to see what tracks the game will include from Def Jam's archive. Some artists we'd like to see include Ludacris, Jay Z, Beastie Boys, and Young Jeezy. Gameplay information is sparse and platforms are unconfirmed, but if you have a passion for rapping, there is finally a game that allows you to show your skills.

Check out the debut trailer below, courtesy of IGN.

    Yeah that swagga crap is horrible. Hope they have some decent music. Sucks that it's from Def Jam. That means only Def Jam music.

    Hoepfully it's good and has more character customization options and more great-looking stages. Their last character roster wasn't that great to me though. They should get rights for popular hip-hop artists that aren't related to Def Jam or allow users to share customized characters with others online so that I can have Pac and Biggie without going through much trouble.

     Ah yes.  Another chance for me to express my great and utter justified/glorified prejudice hate for c.rap/un-hip hop, and all of it's stupid gimmicky trendy marketing tools to make a quick buck off all the clone sheep little wannabe thug posers gangsta kids out there who think they're black, sagging around with their pants down to their ankles and wearing their condom hats or hats crooked thinking that they actually look cool (little do they know that they are the laughing stock of our society and an utter disgrace and failure of de-evolution of humanity for the youth of tomorrow).

    If I were to take festering, radiating, stanky heaping pile of sh/t dump and compare it to this game or just c.rap in general, the only difference between the pile of feces and c.rap and its marketed media lunchbox material BS is that my crap would still be more real and dignified then this pathetic subspecies of a subculture could ever hope to be.

     I fuçking hate ALL of you posers and your foul-mouthed, short vocabulary ghetto/ebonic talking retards.  I hope you all die in a slow vat of sulfuric acid after being skinned, gutted and have lemon juice poured on you.  That's what you deserve for being such an embarassment and a bad influence on the youth of tomorrow.  I'll never let my children grow up with any of this garbage.....EVER.  Truly fuçk you all straight back to the reject cloning factory of yesterday's mistakes from which you were spawned.  I hope this game causes the company 4mm to go bankrupt as a lesson to never market something this lame that is a dying trend.

     @18 You are right that unfortunately, c.rap/hip hop has created a lot of popularity.  But then again, so did Backstreet Boys at one time to.  Unfortunately, most of our society is driven by what's the popular trend and what's top 40.  I personally can not stand any of the music on the radio.  But, even more underground c.rap I still can't stand.  I just don't like the harda55/materialistic attitude of it.  And then you get these kids that try to duplicate that persona because they want to fit in and are afraid to be themselves so they join gangs, listen to c.rap, and try to act ghetto.  I don't give a sh/t where you grew up.  There's nothing that justifies dressing and acting like a mongoloid fool.  It's all about peer pressure.
