EA'S NEED FOR SPEED UNDERGROUND 2 TO FEATURE EXCLUSIVE REMIX OF THE DOORS' "RIDERS ON THE STORM" BY HIP HOP SUPERSTAR SNOOP DOGG

 

Redwood City, Calif., - October 28, 2004 - Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that Snoop Dogg's remix of The Doors' legendary rock song, 'Riders On The Storm,' will be available exclusively in Need for Speed Underground 2 shipping on November 15, 2004. The in-game soundtrack shifts seamlessly from rock to hip hop to techno with 26 additional hit songs, allowing players to race in style with the hottest tunes as they immerse themselves in the underground tuner culture.

 

The songs in the game have been selected by EA TRAX - the music initiative that EA debuted in 2001. The program is dedicated to bringing gamers today's best music through EA's videogames.

I still think Snoop has at least one more great album in him. His work on The Chronic and Doggystyle pretty much cemented his greatness and spot in Rap's hall of fame, but I really do believe he can drop one more great album. At least I hope so.

I have no problem with this, but I also have no problem with covers in general. This could be good or it could be terrible, but either way it should be interesting.

I just hope he doesn't call it something like Ridizzle on the Stizzorm.

Especially considering that my Jerry Falwell biography of the same name is being released later this month in select markets. Imagine the confusion.

Snoop can cover anything brother. He rocked out on "Sad But True". For RIZEAL!

Snoop is too garbage to be a Rap HOF famer, one hot album and that was 11 years ago is just not enough to me. Snoop is only relevant today because of his coonery and buffonery acting.

One hot album? Gotta disagree on that one. He at least gets another half or full album credit for having such a prominent role on "The Chronic". In addition to that Dogg Food was a tight album as well. You may disagree with this, but "Tha Doggfather" was my personal favorite album of his so he has definitely earned a spot in RHOF.
