Grandmaster Flash is a DJ Hero, plays DJ Hero
by JC Fletcher 
{ Jul 2nd 2009 at 4:45PM } 
In addition to appearing in-game, Flash contributed his own mixes to the soundtrack. In the video above, you can hear a segment of his mashup of Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" and N.E.R.D.'s "Lapdance." After the break, we've embedded a clip of the game featuring a mashup of his own "Here Comes My DJ" and Gary Numan's new wave anthem to isolation, "Cars."
MTV recorded footage of Flash trying the game for the first time, and let's just say his performance in the game is much more impressive than his performance of the game. For a more thorough writeup of Mr. Flash's thoughts on the game, check out GameDaily's writeup here.

So will he randomly scream out things like, "PUT A FORK IN IT THIS GUY IS DONE!!!!"?
I love Def Jam Vendetta

I'll probably grab Scratch over this.

I'll probably grab my balls and pose over this.

Go with Dr Dre's advice:
"See me grab my dick every time I pose for pictures"

i think we all agree the Hero franchise needs to die
Jason Statham (Aka Vegeta) @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:06PM
Why? People enjoy Guitar Hero and from what I'm hearing from people whho tried DJ Hero at E3, it's actually good.

I don't agree at all. This is an original take on the rhythm genre, just like the original Guitar Hero was.
The Dark Wang(Ohyeahcola in disguise) @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:10PM
yeah but they've whored it out and now other companies are filing trademarks like War Hero and Fitness Hero
Look At This Suit @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:16PM
No, they've whored out the Guitar Hero Franchise. This is a brand new take on the rhythm genre, and it looks like a blast to play.
Jason Statham (Aka Vegeta) @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:21PM
Wait. Wait you're telling me that a company is willing to make more games out of the same franchise because it's successful?
NO FUCKING WAY. I don't believe you.

Guitar Hero needs to die.
Wanting to make money off a franchise is understandable, but don't kid yourself. Activision is just being greedy now. We do NOT need as many Guitar Hero games as they've given us this year.
However. Let's all give DJ Hero a chance, mmkay?
Jason Statham (Aka Vegeta) @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:49PM
"Activision is just being greedy now."
So are you implying that all other video game companies aren't greedy? And wouldn't make games for the sole purpose of making money?
Reddrive @ Jul 2nd 2009 6:51PM
It's called over-saturation. Get used to it.
Look at movies. Since X-Men it's not summer without a superhero movie.

Guitar Hero should die and be replaced by this.

"other companies are filing trademarks like War Hero"
Erm, I'm pretty sure that the term "war hero" has been around longer than the franchise "Guitar Hero".
I am also pretty sure that "War Hero" will not be a rhythm game or even remotely related to any of the "Hero" rhythm games.

So... how the fuck do you play this game?
Girugamuk (Moptimus Slimed) @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:09PM
WITH YOUR MIND!!!!!!!!!!!11
MooseMuffin @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:10PM
You start by paying them $100. After that you're on your own.
343 Guilty Fart @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:25PM
Turned stickup kid, look what you done did
Got send up for a eight year bid
TheHakku @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:34PM
Please tell me you can turn off the announcer. Holy god you are annoying, Flash.
Neorev @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:40PM
Grandmaster Flash just sold me.....count me in Activision. (psst...i'll still buy your guitar hero games just to piss people off).
bluezy @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:51PM
DJ Hero doesn't look the same without DSG.
xtremeholymuffin @ Jul 2nd 2009 8:06PM
how about now
Sstavix @ Jul 2nd 2009 6:14PM
Who?
Meh. Based on the music used in the videos, I'm more likely to be annoyed by the game, rather than entertained. I'll pass.
Slick @ Jul 2nd 2009 6:59PM
NOW FOR SOME MIX MASTER MIKE.
gfan102 @ Jul 2nd 2009 8:10PM
There better be a demo in every gamecrazy and gamespot for this and Scratch.
ripslymemc @ Jul 2nd 2009 8:34PM
Higher, baby
Get higher, baby!
Get higher, baby!
And don't ever come down!
tical2399 @ Jul 3rd 2009 3:35PM
If there is ANYBODY that they should have got to demo/advertise this is Primo (DJ Premier) If you don't know him Activision you don't know hip hop, so me thinks this game may be doomed to failure.
LimA @ Jul 3rd 2009 2:28AM
All the game focsuses on are Hip hop DJ's, where is my Armin van Buuren and Spor?
Steve @ Jul 3rd 2009 5:55AM
I hear ya, show me real DJs like Paul Van Dyk or Ferry Corsten and I might consider this.
Ninbrendo @ Jul 3rd 2009 7:09AM
Flash is fast, Flash is cool...
