this a crazy take but this is exactly what this thread is saying to me lol. And its kinda bullshit.
For real, I can't tune in knowing the coloreds get money from it.
lol what
there's an argument you could make for games marketing materials overusing hip-hop
but this isn't it
Honestly I'd prefer if we didn't endorse music by criminals either. Thanks for bringing this concern to light OP.
Why did they add those musical stylings to their songs? Yea.
Choked on my sub laughing. Was worth it.
I can see where OP is coming from in certain cases, but there was a lot of generic music from other genres; and I remember the backlash from the MK trailers that I had never seen previously.
The Savage MK11 trailer is probably my favorite.

Nah he got it, since the old GAF days mfs here always got weird shit to say whenever hip hop or anything urban black culture related invades their video games. I'm tired of this shit.
By what metric?
It's most certainly not, and it's not even close, but I'm wondering why you believe it is?
On topic, I haven't actually noticed this yet.
If gaming side never talked about music again it would be too soon. Absolute clown shoes every time.
Im not a hip hop fan but I think its all good as long as it fits, def better than putting dubstep or bangarang on every fucking trailer. My preference would be more original content or lesser known licensed tracks.
I did, Hip-hop is the most popular genre in America when the data comes from streaming services, because streaming is mostly used by Gen Z, where hip-hop is in fact the most popular genre with ease. Rock is still the most popular overall but it will be surpassed soon by Hip-hop. On the rest of the world though, zero chance hip-hop is close to be the most popular genre.
I'll stop here, i don't want to look like i'm going on a crusade against Hip-hop, i just think it's lame as fuck this americancentric view of culture regarding the rest of the world, almost like American tastes are being pushed down our throats, although it's to be expected since it's an American site.

Even then it's not hip hop by any research done I've seen. It's rock and then pop.
And that's completely ignoring what people actually listen to across the world.
Come to Europe - any country and attend any public event and marvel at the rich tapestry of folk music and exactly zero hip hop XD
your research is wrong
literally just google most popular genre in the world godamn
yo fucking lmaoooooo I am screaming don't do this to gaming side dude, they can't handle it
Where are you guys seeing rock music as the most popular?
I can kinda buy pop, given it tends to straddle the lines between genres anyway, but just like looking at the most popular songs in the world that don't neccessarily end up popular in America, I don't think there's many I would call rock music

absolutely losing my mind at how on point this post is lmfaooo
I did and it's rock (pop is hard to quantify).
Hip hip isn't even the most popular in the US, so it's not even that you're conflating that with the world.
You seem to be basing this on spotify. That's just incredible, if you are. Are you really doing this?
Or is this another in-joke I'm not aware of.
Tbf, this argument needs to strictly define popularity. Hip hop/Rap is the most popular by many metrics (currently and in the US) but not when you define popularity as favorite genre. Rock and others still win out. Whether that matters considering consumer habits is another conversation as well as why research firms traditionally meant to increase profit are concerned with this distinction now.

Are people seriously suggesting this is racist? Christ. It also means nothing how popular it is, it's about tone. If they did it for a horror game for example the tone and atmosphere would be destroyed so "it's a really genre popular" is just a stupid statement all round.
my nigga i don't know what country you from but they need to teach y'all how to read and google apparently
This the real question, outside of MK, Godfall and Cyberpunk, feels like we grasping at straws here.
All I can think of is MK, which yeah, don't fit at all.
But maybe we should put an end to this thread? OP isn't responding, there's no real discussion here and its mostly just arguing.
i need some examples of honkey music that you would like to be played instead
OP can you help please? justiceiro

Yeah I'm not saying hip-hop was not hugely influential, but going from something relatively clearly defined as a lyrical MC and DJ to calling everything with a snare beat hip-hop, might as well call Blues the largest genre in the world for influencing both rnb/hip-hop and rock. This is a very minor pet peeve though, if you want to call average pop with a snare drum like Dua Lipa or The Weeknd hip-hop then sure it's the most popular genre, but I think that's where some of the confusion in this thread comes from.
As for the topic, I don't think it fits very well with most games, but I think this is actually more a problem with the games than with the music, in that there are so few contemporary games with real people, that contemporary licensed music would fit.
