Throw Down da Lyrics, Yo!

I may be alone here, but "Get On Da Mic," an interactive Hip Hop karaoke game being released in Europe in October (TBA in the US) has me oddly excited. Using a microphone hooked up to your PS2 you have to rap alongside some hip hop heavyweights like: Dr. Dre, Missy Elliot, Lil Kim, Tupac and more. In addition, the Eye Toy camera is compatible allowing you to watch your performance. Most exciting is the story mode where you attempt to ascend the ranks of hip hop stardom, droppin' mad tracks, acquiring much Bling (yachts, ice, cribs, etc.) and ultimately performing in front of thousands of fans. Peace out, yo!
