When the first Rock Band was released, I did not think that this was something that I would gravitate to. Being I’m someone that mainly listens to rap music. Playing Rock Band was a bit odd to me. Until one day while playing Rockband at a friends house, I fell in love. I went and picked up the bundle, went home, and set it up. I’ve played countless hours. I even started having mini Rock Band events at my house, which was always a blast. Then Rock Band 2 came out.

I was lucky to acquire the game 2 weeks in advance of the official street date. While playing Rock Band 2, I started to think “Hey wouldn’t it be great if there were rap music in Rock Band??” I thought to take this to the Rock Band forums and was told “Rap does not belong in this.” “Rap is wack.” And my favorite of them all “THIS IS ROCK BAND, NOT RAP BAND.”

Well Harmonix/MTV Games announced earlier this week that Snoop Dogg will be in Rockband as DLC!! No word on what songs will be used for DLC, but I am happy. I just hope that other artists like Outkast, The Roots, Fugees and many others that have also used bands will soon get some DLC love on Rock Band.
