Rap-battling from your couch while wearing a bathrobe becomes an actual possible thing to do this October.
Terminal Reality (Ghostbusters), Def Jam Interactive, and the untested 4mm games are putting the finishing touches on Rapstar, the first non-Parappa Hip Hop music game.

Drake – Best I Ever Had
Biz Markie – Just a Friend
Outkast – So Fresh & So Clean
Pete Rock & CL Smooth – TROY
Salt N Pepa – Push It
Redman & Method Man – Da Rockwilder
This is in addition to the original list announced back in April:
2 Pac – I Get Around
50 Cent – I Get Money
Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dog – Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang
Kanye West featuring Jamie Foxx – Gold Digger
Lil’ Wayne – A Milli
Notorious B.I.G. – Juicy
Slick Rick – Children’s Story
T.I. featuring Rihanna – Live Your Life
Wu Tang Clan – C.R.E.A.M.
Young Jeezy featuring Kanye West – Put On
Along with its 40-track song list, the game allows budding emcees to upload complete video recordings of freestyle performances to the Def Jam Rapstar community site. Rapstar comes bundled with a wired microphone, and is priced at $69.99 for the PS3/360 and $59.99 for the Wii.

No Vanilla Ice? Bullshit game.
DefJam and no License to Ill songs? Bullshit game.
A really solid list of classic hip-hop/rap tracks (great to see "T.R.O.Y" on there. This isn't a complete list but I doubt we'll see any Beastie Boys tracks on here. The group members have long rejected their early work, labeling it "chauvinistic".
Chauvinistic or not, this game needs 'Looking down the barrel of a gun'
Okay, I'll take a turn…no cuts, particularly Hard Times, It's Tricky (!!!!!), and King of Rock, from RUN-D.M.C. turns this into a complete joke.
