If you love Guitar Hero but feel a little disenfranchised and wish there was a game that would cater to your long standing DJing dream, wish no longer! The makers of Guitar Hero got are releasing a more hip-hop centered game just in time for the holidays. “DJ Hero delivers an all-new interactive music experience that allows players to start the party and not only experience, but to hear music in an all-new way.” The new game has over 100 individual songs with 93 “unique never-before-released mixes that blend genres of music, including hip-hop, pop, rock and dance.”
Jay-Z attended the kick off press conference for the DJ Hero video game at the Plaza Hotel in New York City (wearing of course a Yankee fitted cap). While Jay tested his skills on the 1s and 2s, he also was there to promote DJ Hero Renegade Edition. The Renegade Edition features Jay-Z and Eminem and includes a premium Renegade turntable controller, hardshell turntable carrying case that converts to a performance-ready DJ stand, and an exclusive Jay-Z and Eminem 2-CD pack featuring both best-of and new, unreleased tracks.
I know what I want for Christmas!

Jay-Z Takes over XXL October
Aug 27th
October Issue on stands Sept. 15
Here’s a peak into the October issue and interview with Boss Hova:
CRITICISM OF “D.O.A.”
“I’m not hating on young people. Like, when people say that, I’m like, What are you talking about? It’s just stupid. I’m not hating on young people… I’m not Bill Russell, [saying] Michael Jordan ain’t shit. I’m saying Lil Wayne and Kanye are like LeBron and Kobe. My job as someone at the forefront of the game is to leave it in a better position than when I came in. Same way that Russell [Simmons] left it to me. ’Cause this thing saved my life. Literally. So I have a responsibility to it karmically. And after that it’s on you. I did my part. I made ‘D.O.A.’ I said it. I made the statement. I made the push. Here, y’all take it from here.”
HIS LEGACY AS FORMER DEF JAM RECORDS PRESIDENT
“So if you ask me to grade my performance as the president, I’d say A-plus. No one can bat a 100. It’s impossible. I mean, everyone is looking at my shit. But if we really looked under the hood [of] every single [record exec] and the acts they put out in that time, I’d be comparable to anyone.”
HIS STANDING IN THE GAME
“But when I say I’m the best, I don’t say that outta my ass. I say that with all my stats behind me. I put that against anybody. I mean anybody. I really believe that… I believe in a lot of things.
I believe that ‘SportsCenter’ is the best thing on TV. I shouldn’t have to prove it. But I do have these stats to prove it. I’m talking about real run. I’m not talking about years off. I’m talking about straight—boom, boom, boom—back to back. We’re not talking about heritage acts either. We’re not talking about respect what I’ve done. I’m talking No. 1 [albums] 10 times. The Beatles is the only one [to have more
No. 1 albums]. They got 19, and if I get a surge of creativity, I could make nine albums next year.”
XXL’s October issue includes stories on The Making of The Blueprint, the current state of lyricism in hip-hop, Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II and much more. The mag hits newsstands September 15.
