This is why I love my pasttime as a gamer. It’s the whole culture around it and the many things the fans create surrounding this cool hobby! Take for instance this latest blending of two genres. Hip Hop and the all time classic Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. The folks over at Team Teamwork (love the play on words) found the need to lay some of Hip Hops famous mcees over some of the unforgettable samples from Ocarina of Time in their new mix cd “The Ocarina of Ryhme”. And with some good results. Give it a listen and see why we are all part of one of the coolest forms of entertainment period!
