8-bit Hip Hop medley

My boy Jay put me on to this. If this doesn’t make you wanna jump on some goombas, warp through sewer pipes or punch bricks to get coins then you must be too damn young. Props to Jesse Tugboat – the man behind the 8-bit goodness (thanks to all those that pointed that out in the comments). Check the tracklist after the jump if you can’t work out the songs.
8-bit Hip Hop medley
Jay-Z — Dirt Off Your Shoulders
T.I — What You Know
Chamillionaire — Ridin’
Ludacris — What’s Ya Fantasy
Bonecrusher — Neva Scared
Twista & Kanye — Overnight Celebrity
Ludacris — Move Bitch
Lil’ Jon — Get Low
Kanye — Gold Digger

This is hella dope, makes me wanna grab my NES cartridges and blow the fuck out of them to get them to work again.
February 5th, 2009 at 9:11 am
HAHA the representation of the vocals on ‘what’s your fantasy’ is awesome
“yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah… give it to me now, give it to me now” LOL
February 5th, 2009 at 10:45 am
Those are awesome!
Not quite as cool but on a related note I saw this a few weeks back: The Dark Knight video game for 8-bit Nintendo (NES)
February 5th, 2009 at 11:06 am
haha i love that shit. Some of those are impeccable. Strings on dirt off your shoulder – str8 mean
February 5th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Now this is sick, Gold Digger sounds mean. Gimme some Alex the kid and Zelda
February 6th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
And ofcourse N.E.S are the letters that spell…
this is just freaking amazing, what more can I say
February 8th, 2009 at 11:05 am
Should probably shout out Jesse Tugboat for the 8-bit meanage.

I’ve heard this a month ago, as a previous commenter said, it was made by Tugboat, it used to be on his Myspace page, i think he took if down since then, he used to make 8-bit style music but changed now. His stuff still sounds great though.
