Friday Video: Nas destroys Guitar Hero

August 1st, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Crap. Now I’m going to have to go and buy Guitar Hero….because, like, I want to be like Nas and stuff. I’m such a sheep.

    Hilarious. Nas killed it.

    Funny!! I’m also on a quest for my own guitar hero! It’s soooo much fun! Somebody needs to figure out a way to incorporate other songs, though. Unfortunately, I’m not that familiar with rock…

    Go Nas! He rocked it! I played Guitar Hero at a Blockbuster display and thought it was a fun game. You have to fight the urge to move to the beat and only focus on the guitar notes. With that said, people with rhythm (like me) initially had more of a challenge ;-)

    I’ve never gotten into this thing but this turned out to be a good instructional video. So the objective is to match up your button mashes with the notes as they appear on screen right? I can see how that would catch on. As a non-gamer though I’m just curious to know if there are there any Black artists who’s work has been programmed into it?

    On an unrelated note, fredric, have you thought of networking with the Black Data Processor’s Association in order to help your foundation’s mission? Villager is a member. I bet he could hook you up with some connections. Kevin Myles with the Wichita NAACP would be another one. He’s great with community outreach.

    I like the constantly improving looks of the site man. The little dude with his lip poked out cracks me up. Have a good one.
