Raptendo 64 – 3 Volumes of Nintendo 64/Hip-Hop Blends

So a few months ago I put together, largely for my own enjoyment but also planning to "release" it on the internet, 3 full-length volumes of what I call Raptendo 64. It consists of N64 music taken straight from the game and acapellas of rappers I admire. Throughout the 3 volumes, totaling 47 tracks, each track uses a different game as a source and likewise, no rapper is repeated, making for a nice collection of what I consider to be top-notch N64 and rap music.

Since I got about 95% of my soundtracks from these very forums (thanks especially to GoronMoron & Doctor Jesse for their respective threads), I thought it’d make sense to post this here. The main aim of this project was simply to provide a way for myself to listen to video game music and hip-hop at the same time, two genres I love. But another big goal was to promote the idea of video game music as legitimate sampling material for the rap community, and likewise maybe turn vgm fans onto good hip-hop they may not know of. You can download all three volumes at the site below, or preview some tracks first.

Enjoy, and feedback is welcome!

I applaud both your mission and the end result.

Awesome work!

This is seriously amazing, VG samples are so suited for hip hop samples, and you proved it with this. People spread the word on this, it’s really really good and I too applaud your hard work

Holy shit! I mean…..I’m usually open to this kind of thing but even I was skeptical but wow. There’s 1 more track you need to do though

Very nicely done!
