not sure if you were including my remark as part of your pondering, but you can exclude me.
besides, prejudice is a pretty strong word. simply not liking a musical genre is an opinion almost assuredly based on one's personal experience with it; totally different from the dictionary definition of 'prejudice'.
while i do own and enjoy almost all genres of music, i just personally don't like words of any kind--rock, pop, ballad, rap, etc--laid over classic game tunes. maybe it's partially because i don't like amateur musical production or voices, or maybe i don't find the words intriguing; could be any number of things or combination therein.
however, i do often like the instrumentals behind the hip-hop game tracks. something about the musical phrasing of the underlying tracks just works well with game music, and they often do some creative things with mixing those old sounds with new sounds.
Dat Dire Dire Docks remix. I lub it.
Edit: I really don't care for the rest.
Yeah dire dire is the only one I cared for. Beast mode is interesting tho. The beats are all great, but the lyrics are all stupid gangsta rap.
it was all good until they started rapping. i was like wtf?
I regret upvoting this. Dire Dire Docks is the only good one.
Ghetto. Ghetto errywhere.
Nice, quality rap
should probably be labelled NSFW/parental advisory. as a rule, i don't like lyrics, singing, and especially not rapping over game music.
but i'd be for an instrumental of this.

errywurr?
I wish I understood why everyone on GoNin has this prejudice against hip-hop/rap. It's ridiculous.
I LOVED the entire mix! Seriously, this is some really great stuff, especially mixing Rainbow Road with Blue Oyster Cult! Ha! Brilliant.
