As we discussed in yesterday’s Coffee Talk, renowned hip-hop artist and producer Kanye West will be performing at Activision’s Call of Duty XP convention. He’ll be taking the stage on September 3, 2011. My personal dream is that Taylor Swift shows up and interrupts his show…but I don’t see that happening. Here’s a clip from the press release:
In his first public performance since the release of his fifth #1 album, the global smash “Watch the Throne,” Kanye West is set to close Call of Duty XP, the only full-immersion fan experience for Call of Duty gamers. West will take the stage at 8PM on Saturday, September 3rd, capping an impressive roster of firsts for casual and hardcore Call of Duty fans alike, including the world premiere of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer, the first public hands-on with the title, the finals of the Call of Duty $1 Million tournament sponsored by Xbox 360, Call of Duty-inspired live action-experiences and much more. Call of Duty XP takes place September 2nd and 3rd, 2011, in Los Angeles, California.
What do you think of Kanye performing at a Call of Duty convention? Are there any recording artists that you think match up well with certain games? As I mentioned yesterday, Yasumi Matsuno is a Queen mark and litters his game with all sorts of Queen references. Ice-T has a connection with Gears of War. Jack Black is a known Grand Theft Auto homer. Name some recording artists and match ’em up with games (please)!
Ice Cube would seem more appropriate.
I don't care for Kanye. I'd skip that segment of the event if possible. If not, I wouldn't go.
War Ensemble by Slayer.
Followed by Symphony of Destruction
Dropkick Murphys also performing at Call of Duty XP. Cool variety.
Those guys are super cool.
Another amazing band to come out of Boston.
They'll be even cooler if they fight Kanye.
"Yo Activision, I'm really happy for you, I'll let you finish, but Battlefield 3 is one of the best video games of all time."-Kanye
lol!

Outstanding!
I'm actually a big Gears of War fan and I think that a lot of Metallica's stuff pairs up well with the game.
Bioshock (1&2) seems like it would actually do well with a soundtrack of Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby, Charlie Parker, Dizzie Gillespie, and of course, Ella Fitzgerald (probably N8's great-aunt or something).
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Saint's Row need a soundtrack with DMX, Busta Rymes, Snoop, and Dre. Superman 64 deserves a song like "Bigger" from Justin Bieber.
Slayer and Slipknot should make a soundtrack for the Xbox 360 game Hanna Montana: The Movie.
Oh, yeah, and I would pay Talor Swift to go and crash Mr. West's show. Great idea!

I kinda think "So Fucking What" would fit Superman 64…or Afro Man "Cause I got High"
Hey! That gives me an idea for a poll question:
"Does playing Superman 64 while high make it a better game?"
