This includes being involved in a shooting, as well as their entourage strong-arming a promoter over pay. In their short career, the artist has already racked up a sizable page of legal issues and controversies on their Wikipedia page. In terms of diss tracks, it stands next to Ice Cube's "No Vaseline." Snak the Ripper has shown the world that they know exactly who they are and that they are not to be messed with, or else.īad boys sell and in recent years there have been fewer apt examples of that than DaBaby. Their diss track " Child Abuse" stands as one of the most nuclear attacks on another artist, even prompting the response track to reference that Snak went too far. Snak the Ripper made a name for themselves for taking on another rapper in their native Canada. Put in other words, the brawler needs a few scumbags in there people who are there to do the dirt. The world of Def Jam games are inhabited with varying degrees of fame and infamy. Punk isn't dead and it's thriving in Rico Nasty's entire being. Their multifaceted personality also lends itself well to good character design, as Rico has more melodic projects, as well as a trolling side, heard in the crossover "Tia Tamera" with Doja Cat, for instance. Their hit song "Smack a Bitch" speaks for itself, when it comes to the raw aggression the artist can conjure. Stomping around, taunting opponents is exactly what the atmosphere is like in these games and Rico has that attitude down to a point. Paving the way for women to break roles in hip hop, Rico Nasty's violent, screaming style of femininity lends itself perfectly to a Def Jam game. This one packs a little more punch than a dude who went to the hospital for eating too many hot Cheetos. Is there anyone in hip hop you'd like to punch more than them? It's either that or have Lil Xan be the equivalent of Eric Sparrow, the antagonist of Tony Hawk's Underground.

What better example than breaking the face of 6ix9ine, after they've done nothing but their patented style of gloating and baiting the entire game. That said, a Def Jam game needs an antagonist someone at the top who you can't wait to tear apart. They're a terrible person, who happens to make very marketable music. The list of asinine things this loud-mouthed artist has done seemingly doesn't end. Going in the complete opposite direction here, so hear us out, 6ix9ine is one of the most awful people in current hip hop. Hip hop, as well as emo, have their fair share of questionable attitudes, but it wouldn't hurt to not include a few more aggravating artists. For instance, XXXtentacion has had a similar influence, before their murder at a young age, but the artist was also involved in a lot of terrible incidents, such as homophobic attacks. Their inclusion would not only be a posthumous nod to their work, but also be a less problematic example. Their emo- influenced music has inspired a generation of people who previously may not have connected to hip hop. As such, several iconic figures have since passed, including the young Lil Peep.


Unfortunately, one of the pitfalls in SoundCloud rappers lifestyle is substance abuse. Give us your recommendations in the comments! As such, we thought we'd try to assemble a small cast of contemporary artists who should be included in a new Def Jam game.
#DEF JAM ARTISTS SERIES#
A new game in the series could make wonderful use of the wild variation in styles, to form factions in the game, providing a different ambience for characters. SoundCloud has birthed artists that meld with emo, trap has given a more beat-focused vision, while even others are getting increasingly more experimental with samples, bordering on glitch pop. Since then, the world of hip hop has transcended into a fusion of every other possible genre. These two releases were a lot more connected to brawlers or wrestling games, but featuring a cast of people in and around the hip hop scene of the time. Specifically, the Twitter post correctly identifies Def Jam Vendetta, as well as the Fight for NY sequel, as the games people have had fond memories of for a decade. Def Jam Recordings seems to have finally caught on that people are eternally pumped for a new entry in the Def Jam series.
