Oh, and the entire album can be yours for the reasonable price of nothing. Yeah, you're welcome.
Stop what you're doing and listen to the Nintendo Mixtape

Doing yard work? Put down the rake. In the middle of intense litigation? Drop it. Giving birth? Hold it in. Whatever you're doing, you need to stop right now and listen to the Nintendo Mixtape. Created by New York hip hop group, No Question? (warning: MySpace link), the Got Game? album sets all of its tracks to mixes of 8-bit Nintendo music and phat beats. And it's awesome. We suggest you start with "Double Dragons" -- we've embedded its video after the break. For those at work, keep in mind that the video and some lyrics are a tad inappropriate. That said, if your boss hears this and does anything other than give you a promotion on the spot, he has no soul.

Joystiq, don't mix up my two fav hobbies (video games and hip hop), this is pure swine rap trash. I'd download the instrumentals, but these clowns don't deserve space on my harddrive.
This is a better video game song flipped into a hip hop song (hint: read the title), but these guys (army of the pharaohs of jedi mind tricks fame) aren't much deeper hip hop.

This has got to be the worst sh*t I've ever had the misfortune of listening to.

Took me about 5 seconds to affirm what I already suspected: this sucks.

I love you Joystiq but this sucks. Sorry.

Backpack Hip-Hop over some really cool beats? No thanks.
The vocals remind me of Mac Lethal (a local KC rapper that's pretty big), looks and sounds like him.
I'd like to get ahold of the instrumentals for these.

They even have a double dragon song.
