    A Million and One Questions (minus 999,995)

     

    Now that there's buzz around the site, we've been getting lot of people asking questions about what's next. Some of the most often asked questions are:

     

     

    1. When the hell is the game coming out?
    2. Is the tracklist only going to be limited to Island/Def Jam artists?
    3. Will there be explicit lyrics?
    4. How many songs will there be?
    5. Can I get a free copy?
    6. Will you let us know what the songs are in the game?

     

    To address this, I've decided to offer a few answers that should untwist you:

     

    1. No release date set yet since we're still in the lab but you'll know when we have one.
    2. Nope, it won't only be Island/Def Jam artists in the game.
    3. Don't know yet but as much cussing we do around here, who knows?
    4. A lot of frickin songs If your moms made a classic joint it might make it in there.
    5. Sure, just send us back the boxes they'll come in so we can build our new homes with them.
    6. Here's a hint: When I "have my own business like my aunt Joyce..."

     

    With that said, know that you will be able to check back here for updates on the game and a bunch of other cool ish. Did you know that we sometimes go live on our Ustream channel when we have a special guest at headquarters? Our last visitor was VIBE Magazine's Editor-in-Chief Jermaine Hall who had a blast playing the demo of Def Jam Rapstar. We've got more in the coming weeks so make sure you follow us on twitter and Facebook to find out when we broadcast.


    That's it for now, gotta get back on the grind and get this game out before a riot breaks out.
