Busta Rhymes And DMX Coming To ‘Def Jam Rapstar’

Busta Rhymes Def Jam Rapstar

Ludacris and A Tribe Called Quest will enjoy the company a few more rap and hip-hop luminaries on "Def Jam Rapstar," and Busta Rhymes and DMX will be among them. Busta will be pulling overtime, since he's already on the "DJ Hero 2" track list, but the latest batch of titles confirmed by Def Jam Interactive includes a few other names as well.

Tracks by Bashy and Devlin will be UK exclusives, according to a press release that went out today, but Ja Rule and Lil' Jon will appear internationally. Here's what's been added:

• Bashy - "Black Boys" (UK exclusive)
• Busta Rhymes - "Put Your Hand’s Where My Eyes Can See"
• Devlin - "Giant" (UK exclusive)
• DMX - "Ruff Ryder’s Anthem"
• Fat Joe featuring Terror Squad - "Lean Back"
• Ja Rule featuring Ashanti - "Always on Time"
• Lil' Jon - "Get Low"
• Public Enemy - "Can't Truss It"
• Twista featuring Kanye West and Jamie Foxx - "Slow Jamz"

Additionally, three new producers were listed in the announcement:

• Bangladesh - "Gutter"
• DJ Premier - "Go Back"
• Just Blaze - "8 Bit"

Bangladesh will be providing exclusive beats for the game, which comes out on November 5. So far they've stuck with established classics and a let a few hot new stars like Drake sneak in. And that's all fine. They're sticking to the genre's core, and they obviously know what they're going for, but coming into the games industry with a rap game, I think they're missing out by not throwing in some nerdcore samplings from artists like MC Chris and MC Frontalot.
