Give me the emerald or die, I D O N T L O V E Y O U
I also find amusing that Sega let the word 'sexy' fly in one of the songs. I guess they were ahead of the curve.

>tfw none of the rips of the Aquatic Mine theme include the comfy water sounds from the actual level

>>7754132
For me, it's Rouge songs

>>7754140
I do it for my race, UH

Shame about the levels though.

>>7754140
>A slutty fucking bat whore that's out for my cock uhn
>I'm feeling her in mysterious ways
What did they mean by this

>>7754132
to bad the artist, i think his name was hunnid p or something is a piece of shit

https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Hunnid-P

>trivia
>Hunnid prefers Sonic Adventure over Sonic Adventure 2.[3]

Also yeah this guy does seem like a piece of shit, apparently tried scamming fans for money lying about never having been compensated for his work.

>>7756041
pretty much. I remember he did something to a female youtuber he collabed a sonic song with, but i forgot what. Think it was demanding sex through text of that sort.

ya damn right knuckles

>>7754132
The lyrics are ass and the rapper is a massive pos but the instrumentals are amazing

>>7760696
>The lyrics are ass
They really aren't. Cheesy and goofy, yes, but the lyrics aren't bad and the flow and melodies aren't bad either. No way I'd look at Aquatic Mine's lyrics and think "this is bad". It is very silly how he raps entirely from the perspective of Knuckles and has to keep reminding us that he is in fact Knuckles, though.
>and the rapper is a massive pos
Don't care about this

>Shadow has only two proper stage themes in the game (since Sky Rail is clearly a repurposed Sonic level and Radical Highway doesn't have lyrics)
>has two boss themes that are clearly going for a "Shadow" style
>these four songs (White Jungle, Final Chase, Biolizard, For True Story) are the best songs in the game
Why is Shadow so fucking based? His theme song is good too, just not as good as these four songs.

>>7760786
What genre even is that? Are there other bands that make music like that?

>>7760802
Jeez man I dunno. Industrial... techno... rock... breakbeat... trip hop? Maybe some other stuff?

>>7760786
the radical highway song has to be one of the top tracks in the game
i love how all the characters have a certain 'theme' to the songs in all their stages
love shadow's dark-spacey sort of guitar and electronic vibe and rouge's songs that i can only describe as 'femme-spy'

A ghost tried to approach me. He got married.

>It is very silly how he raps entirely from the perspective of Knuckles and has to keep reminding us that he is in fact Knuckles, though
That only adds to the kino factor. More game soundtracks should do that

>>7760786
There's a guy on youtube that did covers of Radical Highway and Sky Rail in a similar style to the other Shadow songs with garbled singing and everything.>>7761869

I'd say this would fit best for Shadow's music

>>7754140
>when I find her, I'ma get her with these tools
In context, "tools" probably means Knuckles's fists, but it's also gangsta rapspeak for guns.

>>7760786
>since Sky Rail is clearly a repurposed Sonic level
Where are you getting this from? Did I miss something?

>>7761869
Genres similar to Rouge's level themes would be acid jazz, lounge, bossa nova or jazz-funk, from what I know.

>>7754140
I genuinely am in love with the instrumental for this track.
Tbqh rivals the best jazz rap beats.

Here I come, rougher than knuckles. The best of them, tougher than knuckles.

>>7762384
YOU CAN CALL ME KNUCKLES
UNLIKE KNUCKLES I DON'T CHUCKLE
I'D RATHER FLEX MY KNUCKLES

>>7760786
I'm convinced Radical Highway was going to be a Sonic stage and take place where we have Mission Street now.

>>7756086
Just what did he mean by this?

>>7762208
>Where are you getting this from? Did I miss something?
Some of the earliest footage of SA2 shows Sonic in Sky Rail and we know from interviews and stuff that Shadow, Rouge and Tails were added as playable characters later in development (the trailer I'm talking about only shows Sonic, Knuckles and Eggman as playable characters). Sky Rail also has music that easily fits in with Sonic levels and isn't that similar to the rest of the music for Shadow's levels.

>unlike Sonic I don't chuckle I'd rather flex my muscles
Dropped SA2 right there. Fucking dishonest piece of shit

>>7763382
That lyric was from SA1 first dumbnuts

>>7763385
This has been debunked.

>>7760696
what'd the rapper do? i thought he was just some unknown session guy

>>7763389
It's literally in the game what are you talking about

>>7763395
Disproven time and time again. Go be a troll elsewhere, little man.

>>7756041
>singer is a piece of shit
Well, he's a rapper, most rappers are literal pieces of shit.

>>7763404

I just picked up this badboy for the Dreamcast. I'm stoked.

>>7763416
>he got the version with the worse Chao Garden
oh no no no no no wheeze

>>7763419
Is it that different? Only things ive noticed vs GC version which I don't own is that there's no intro video and the DC controller sucks

>>7763419
Why yes, the best version is on PC only. Come home white man

>>7763428
There's a lot of differences between SA2 and SA2B/its later ports but unlike SA1 they're usually minor and the game doesn't look that different unless you're paying close attention. See this video if you want more info, as far as I remember it pretty much covers everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMauzPcOorQ
For the sake of Chao Garden, on DC you're expected to play on the VMU a lot. You can't name your Chao without it. You can't look at the stats of your Chao without it. Period. The Black Market for DC is also long gone unless you have a DreamPi or what have you
GameCube is the best version because you can infinitely spawn vanilla Chao eggs through the GBA link cable, you can use that to get Jewel Chao too. GBA > VMU because it doesn't require all of your money to pay for the batteries. You can also save your Chao to one of the early GBA Sonic games since they have a permanent Tiny Chao Garden there. You could also use this to trade Chao to another file. Plus you can get a Tails Chao if you have one of the Phantasy Star Online games too.
HD versions cut out the Tiny Chao Garden, Jewel Chao and trading so it's a mixed bag since you still get QoL stuff from SA2B like seeing stats easily plus the new Black Market. PC can fix or enhance a lot of Chao Garden shit but I haven't played it before.
However Dreamcast has the most soulful Chao Gardens, just see the difference between DC and GC

>>7754140
godamn, I forgot how epic this was. This shit right here is why I love /vr/

>that autistic kid at school who'd say Crush 40 was his favourite band

Fuck you Elliot.

Omega based.

It ain't hard to chuckle
I break 'em down whether they Knuckles or Knuckles

>>7765319
>all these carbs

>>7763389
I love that this is subtle enough to get real angry responses even after two weeks or so of trolling

>>7754140
They kick ass, too bad Hunnid P (the rapper who made this) turned out to be a scumbag

Try Coaltar of the Deepers, "Yukari Telepath" specifically. A mix of shoegaze/hard rock and electronica. Feel free to jump around the first several tracks, which are the strongest.

For something more electronic, look into Transonic Records.

"automation structures" and "hedorian forever" sounds like it could be from a later sonic game. this is amazing, thanks anon

This is some good stuff. Much appreciated.

I have never looked up the lyrics to this song and I can never make out what's he saying. I mean, I hear words that sound like words but make no freaking sense. So for the lulz, I will now transcribe what I hear when I listen to Knuckles' "Wild Canyon", and maybe somebody can rate my accuracy:
>This is Knuckles, and I'm back
>I've been away for a while, and I'm back to kick some butt in Wild Canyon
>I'm gonna find the lost pieces of the Masta Emerald here
>I'mma get those fools
>They wanna play with my emeralds
>They playin with the wrong guy
>EK-U-DU-NA [echidna?], that's what I'm representin'
>Never seen a mic hog spit like a menace
>Wild Canyon fun, I gotta chase a bat huh?
>Yeah Rouge, she sexy and smooth
>I doublecross my thief that's out for my jewels
>I'm feelin her in mysterious ways
>That's why I stay on point like every single day
>Got to protect this place, I do it for my race, uh
>Yeah, you know what it is
>Yo, yo
>Throw yo hands up, c'mon, c'mon
>Ain't nobody come here gonna eat my Play-Dough(tm)
>Yo what happened, my emeralds gone
>Somebody gonna get their's quick, my word is bond
>Who coulda did dis, that snitch named Rouge
>When I catch her, I'mma get her with these tools
>There you are, come here, little thief
>Think you can fly and get away quick nuh-uh
>Give up da emeroold or die, I don't love you!
>Yeah, you know what it is
>Yo yo
>Uh
>Throw yo hands up, c'mon, c'mon

Thanks guys. I found some cool songs from your posts.
One of the best ones I found was DESTROYUSALL by 1 800 PAIN, which is now in my daily playlist.

>>7754132
Imagine not just liking nigger music but liking nigger music written for ten-year-old furries

>>7772217
this, I never liked the knunigger songs, the Sonic and some of the Shadow ones were good though.

>>7770379
I always heard "a doublecross spy thief that's out for my jewels" but everything else sound right. Even the playdough bit. No fucking clue what he's saying there

>>7771241
White and latino gangsta rappers are pieces of shit too. Don't have to be black to be ghetto.

Replayed this recently to relive my childhood. Cannot stand the fucking Knuckles missions, I just take out my earphones to play them.

BEEP... BEEP... BEEP... BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP BEEP BEEP... BEEP... BEEP... BEEPBEEPBEEP

Makes me wanna rEEEEEEEEEE
loved the first game tho

I'm glad I found 4chan also. Do you guys like PSPs still? I bought some from Ebay to try and resell them after modding, but not luck so far

fucking love the PSP bros

weird bump but ok

Ngl, Elliot sounds pretty based.

>I always heard "a doublecross spy thief that's out for my jewels
Oh yeah, that's it. I hear that now.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one who hears "playdough", though. lol
