Why is that a bad thing? It's relatable. I think you're just ass blasted that hip hop culture embraced videogames. You keep thinking videogames are not a cultural zeitgeist, you're living in the past, like 1970s past. In retrospect videogames have been heavily shaping culture around the world since the 70s. It takes hindsight to see these things, but you're lense of truth is tempered by the old guard who lied to us every chance they could. You're not a genius, youve never contributed anything meaningful to society, you're just a crab in a bucket, ngmi

Uhh, well cage claims em copied his flow, but there are other Detroit artists that em got inspired from. Old cage from like the early 90s was raw as fuck and yeah it kind of sounds like Eminem might have taking a page out of cages book, but cage ended up not getting famous and getting deeper into pcp and drugs while em was given the chance by dr. Dre and he took it. Cage dropped out of the scene so to speak to deal with mental health issues, he was fucked up and put into a mental institution where he was basically drugged the whole time, when he was a teenager. So, no probably not, cage was just high on pcp and a little but hurt he didn’t get the same opportunities.

Lyrics:
In a small ghost town, there's a little arcade
Where the poltergeists play their videogames
At the top of the roof he says
Game over they said, game over they said
Run and get your quarters in
Over cliffs we will swim ahead
Do the shackles underneath your bed haunt
The records in their grooves
Salem is home sentenced to live
Yes this I know, comes back 10 fold
At the bottom of a french blue pool
Roamed the drunk chipped tooth
Of a man of the moon
Burn furnace burn at the bottom of the cliff
Shined a diamond with no end to its trip
Hook and sinker
I wrote it all down for you
Match a name to the face
Do you suspect?
Do you confess, do you confess?

Just not talking about being a gangster is not sufficient
My first point is that hip hop has poor lyrics with no imagination or abstraction regardless, it only adresses the immediate surroundings and routine of the writer
And that's why it's so common for them to talk about like video games
The thread is not about hip hop, it's about songs that mention video games. I don't know why not liking hip hop should be a bannable offense.

The 1975 song?
I was going to pose the question of arcades even being a thing back then but pinball and electro magnetic games have been around a lot longer than that and a quick google puts arcades (penny arcades) going back to over a hundred years.
Thanks for the excuse to give Young Americans a listen, it's one of Bowie's I haven't paid that much attention to. His song Fascination didn't seem to me to be about any arcade but the lyrics are typical love song ambiguity that could be interpreted to mean just about anything I guess.

Warface's Cosmic Sin doesn't mention anything, but it actually uses Vindicare Assassin lines from Dawn Of War.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJrcPmuHoJ0

Drunk Arcade by Bombs Away. Again, song itself doesn't mention much, but that video has definitely been made by /ourguy/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2NgAWLe7x8

Vekked is a huge fan of old games. Last two minutes of his winning 2015 routine are made of lots of classic samples from Mortal Kombat, Altered Beast, Sonic...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnRVmiqm84k

Classic Ice Cube's opening line in this one: "It's on like Donkey Kong!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNEje9TWgWA

Lifeseeker, after their infamous Gone Guru in first Dead Rising, recorded a whole song dedicated to Frank West (and mentioned him at least in another song of theirs):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hoUlNPBpzU

Also, kind of counts, but R-Truth in his very obscure 2003 album says that he is "better than a pokemon". Song is What's My Name, at 13:44.

I mean, with lyrics. And they do reference the game or mention it by name. If we go for scores, it can obviously last forever.

[Anonymous No.10319623]

>>10319607
Yeah I'm not really trying to do scores, but if it is about the game, then sure. I've had to stop myself from adding remixes only. Like you say it would never end. But there's this weird fad of people releasing hundreds of songs about retro games only in the last year. I have included some, many artists in the playlist have tons of other videogame music, specifically mega ran and Duane and brando. I also read that there was over 200 songs about videogames produced in the late 70s to early 80s. I've found some, but not nearly all of it. Just casting out those lines on case you or anybody had any idea about these older songs.

[Anonymous No.10319649]

>>10319623
>I also read that there was over 200 songs about videogames produced in the late 70s to early 80s
Man, I wish I knew what they are talking about. I love 80's. I know a number of songs with massive references to the movies, or just very technical songs (I mean, something like Technicolor by Channel One), I know nothing about songs about video games, save for George Clinton's Computer Game, which I've already posted.

After a sweep through my collection I've found one more that seems to be about video games:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T71o5EgzVBk

Turns out it mentions Space Invaders as well... Completely forgot about it...
That look through my collection has been rather brief though, so may be there's something else hiding in there (several thousands of 80's tracks, after all). But I really cannot remember anything hitting me quite like Clinton's track.
Either way, coming to the later periods, here's what I've had in mind.

Pencilcase recorded an awesome song for a rather obscure game named Crashday (which is officially /vr/ by the current rules):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmWMMwAQWqk

8-Off Agallah has Midnight Club II Theme:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qzfYq6lWUM

Also, aside from George Clinton, Bootsy Collins definitely has something going on with video games. He had created some of the soundtrack for Gran Turismo 4 and ATV Offroad Fury 3, out of all games. I will post his ATV track, since I feel it references the theme of the game more directly, though his Gran Turismo 4 tracks are also very nice racing-themed songs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36j_-__JVqI

Also to top it off, not sure if there's any actual connection here, but Petey Pablo had recorded Need For Speed and it was featured in first Undrground.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThRVyj4cwOM

This is it.

Also that's a very nice playlist you've got there, anon. I've grabbed several tracks for myself. I kind of feel like you should probably add at least a track or two from artists who are known for their love of the video games and video game music but don't do lyrics. My candidates:

Dunderpatrullen - Hightech Girlfriend

Bossfight - Milky Ways
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5w8SJ3yVsc

Big Giant Circles - Chip Zeal

And, ah... Since we've actually mentioned Machinae Supremacy, it feels wrong that there's still not even a single track of theirs in the thread, so here goes:

Yea, not quite retro, but TTT2 is the best Tekken IMO, and I feel that there's something catchy about the song, so let it be here.

Also, if anyone's interested in my collection of music, I'm in the biggest public rooms in DC++ - so feel free to take a look. Search for some of the tracks I've shared in thread and you'll likely locate me rather quickly.

You and everyone else is welcome. Really, my biggest problem is my inability to share the musci effectively, but DC++ is the place where I am able to put everything I have on the table.

Also, I've been thinking if there is any music like this in other languages, and, frankly, I've only remembered one song: once again, Space Invaders, this time by a very obscure russian band Lesnikov-16. I couldn't even find a proper upload on YouTube - one video cuts the track about 20 seconds short, and another has weird skips in sound and abou 20 seconds of silence.
So I've made upload of my own here, if such a thing is of interest:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_HRcLNsfbw

I really wonder if there are some mentions of old video games in german music I have. Germans were crazy about computers and electro sounds in the 80's, so it might as well be there, but, unfortunately, I cannot really remember. Quite possible I've just missed it, my german is very basic.

Man, I hope that was true. But russian music in general mostly just sucks, unfortunately. Like, 70-80 percents of it is hardly listenable.
I like music from Germany so, and I do want to believe there's a nice swathe of /v/ music in there. Everything's saying that it is very possible.

Uhh, really. I had a Russian stepdad who defected from the ussr and he brought like folk rocky 70-80s Russian music tapes with him. I always enjoyed them, but I suppose that's a very small example of Russian music. Only other Russian bands I know were those two fake lesbians from the early 2000s and vitas.

I can re-upload it, if you are interested. Though the only problem with it is that I've actually missed russian audio and just uploaded the original one. So let me know, if you really need that russian audio.
