So who's familiar with the Roots enough to put a 5-6 song playlist together? I'll give 'em a listen tomorrow at work.

I couldn't narrow it down to only a few songs. I think you have to listen to Organix and Do You Want More?!?!?! Those two albums are quintessential Roots and in my humble opinion two of the greatest hip hop albums ever.

To clarify-

Snoop is not next week's DLC. There is no official scheduled date for his tracks to appear in game. It was just in an announcement about his new show on MTV and how we will also be integrating some of his songs at some future point. Next week's DLC will be announced on Friday per usual.

I am looking to borrow a Rock Band disk (RB 1) for PS3.

I tried all of the local rental places and they only rent RB 2. I know no one who has RB 1 for PS3.

I am willing to paypal you the shipping charges + something for your trouble and then ship it back to you one day later.

if anyone who has RB2 for PS3 is willing to do this I would greatly appreciate it.

It's probably died down a lot now since November was right after RB2 came out. I imagine most people were doing what you're trying now.

In addition to rock we love hip hop, techno, country, kid songs, oldies, pop, symphonic metal (though I am of the mind that there are simply far too many sub-genres of metal and it gets a little pretensious... that's a conversation for another time), soul, r&b, funk, Tuvan Throat Singing, Bollywood soundtracks, Sondheim musicals, and about 10,000 other things that aren't traditionally rock. We work very closely with MTV Games (who, as you know, own us) to pick songs in our game. A lot of the time we are picking tracks and sometimes they are, and sometimes it is a series of mutual, beneficial decisions.

Personally I am stoked about Snoop, I think it will be a fun optional pack for lots of people who like him to play. I think other people who like rap will also dig it and there are plenty of us who play Rock Band. And for the people who don't, well it is optional and the fears about us suddenly only putting out rap are just as unfounded as the fears about us only putting out country, or only putting out oldies, or only putting out whatever genre happens to come out in a week that people feel the need to make conspiracy theories about. As I stated earlier we are a big company with a lot of musical tastes who feel very strongly that our game can be served best by allowing people the option of expanding their library to other genres. Not only is it good business, it is also the best way to take care of our very, very sizable pool of customers whose musical tastes are, by-and-large, just as big as our own at Harmonix.
