Boy, you are just not going to give up on this, are ya? Is there money riding on this? Are you plugging their website, or their new album or something? You’ve got this thread in Cafe Society, and you’ve got some decent responses. [I Need To Know The Greatest Rap/Hip Hop Beat Ever](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2401870) You’ve got this thread in General Questions, from yesterday. [What’s The Greatest Rap Beat Ever](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2401956). And Bibliophage locked that thread with the comment: > [@](#): > > Posting the same topic in two different forums is called cross-posting and is not permitted here. I’ll close this thread. So the logical question is, do you have some sort of reading comprehension problem? Or are you spamming us on behalf of–who was it again?–Cocoa Brovaz? ---

Whoops, C & Pasted the wrong chunk. This is the relevant portion of Bib’s post: > [@](#): > > Cafe Society is more appropriate for this sort of thing. Please read the forum descriptions on the SDMB home page. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by surfersean22 \* > \*\*Super Brooklyn by Cocoa Brovaz \*\* Is that the one with the original Super Mario Bros beat that goes “Brooklyn where we live at”…etc? If so then I don’t know any others. Video game music now is so much different than the classic tunes of the 80’s and very early 90’s so I don’t really see any rappers using the newer stuff. And since no “hot” rappers care much for the old school I don’t really see them going back for that stuff either. You might have a list of one here. ---

I really didn’t want to keep this thread alive, but the Bloodhound Gang’s 2nd single from the Hooray For Boobies album, “Mope”, had the original PacMan song going on in one part of the song. This was right after Pac Man tried to get them to smoke some crack with him. A run on sentance in a totally worthless thread. I’m just glad no one is reading this. ---

“Video Computer System” by [Golden Shower.](http://www.goldenshower.gs/e/asmusicas.html) Wait, that’s not hip hop. It’s an instrumental. And it’s kinda pleasant to listen to. ---

a friend of mine emailed me an mp3 of “Tetris (Rave Mix)” but I don’t think that counts because its just something someone made, not really a song. Plus, it is really just the tetris song from the gameboy tetris game, with a drum beat behind it…
