Video: SPIN – A History Of Video Game Samples In Hip Hop

Music magazine SPIN has just released a video full of video game nostalgia. It’s a follow-up to the 50 Rap Songs Based On Video Game Samples list and it’s exactly what you expect: 8-bit madness, Playstation 2 nostalgia and arcade classics sampled by the likes of People Under The Stairs, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Tonedeff and Percee P, as well as some plain horrible Tetris sample usage.

Just an ordinary guy always on the hunt for extraordinary music. Not just as the founder of The Find Magazine & Rucksack Records, but also as a freelance music journalist (bylines at Tracklib, Bandcamp, Wax Poetics, DIG Mag, among others) and—above all—out of love for all kinds of good music.
